FITTING THE APPLIANCE
LOCATING THE Ei25
Your new Ei25 may be installed virtually anywhere in your home.
However, when choosing a location ensure that the general
instructions are followed.
For best results, install out of direct sunlight.
The heater should ideally be fitted into/onto an internal flat
wall constructed from either wood framing and drywall/
brick, etc. The fixings provided are for use on masonry
fireplace ONLY. Please ensure that suitable fixings are used
when securing to any hollow or purpose built cavity. This
may also be installed into a masonry fireplace as long as it
meets the requirements as per below.
NOTE: This appliance is not suitable for fitting to a Cavity
Wall, backing on to an outside wall, an open chimney or any
opening that may be subject to damp and draft, unless
adequate precautions are taken to avoid the appliance
coming into contact with moisture or excessive drafts.
Into Framed construction: For exterior/outside walls, insulate
the enclosure to the same degree as the rest of the house, apply
vapor barrier and drywall, as per local installation codes. Do not
insulate the appliance itself.
Into masonry chimneys: The flue damper must be fully blocked
if safe to do so for installation of the unit. Ensure the fireplace and
chimney are clean and in good working order, and that all chimney
clean-outs are tight-fitting and not permitting air into the chimney.
Install a sealed vent cap and metal flashing at the top of the
masonry chimney to prevent water leaks and air movement within
the cavity. Do not insulate the appliance itself.
Make sure there are no pipes or cables behind the area to be
drilled or cut.
Always ensure the appliance is adequately supported and sits on a
firm structure when mounting above floor level.

INSTALLATION

This appliance is supplied with a 3 prong plug with a 93.3" (2.37m)
lead.
Note: Must be plugged into a 3 prong receptacle which is
exposed and accessible. Do not under any circumstances,
cut the ground on the 3 prong plug.
This appliance is for use on 120 Volts only with the supplied power
cord. The cord has a plug as show in (A). An adapter as shown in
(C) is available for connecting three-blade grounding type plugs to
two slot receptacles. The green grounding lug extending from the
adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box. The adapter should not be used if a
three-slot grounded receptacle is available.
The appliance should ideally be located close to a suitable receptacle
to enable connection. An extension could be run from an existing
socket outlet but this must be carried out by a suitably qualified
electrical engineer. The electrical socket must be easily accessible to
allow disconnection when the appliance is fitted. If the power cord
is damaged, it must be repaired by the authorised service centre or
professional person.
Ensure that curtains and furniture are not positioned close to the
chosen position, as this would create a potential fire hazard or block
the heater outlet ducts.
WARNING! KEEP ALL COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS AT LEAST
1M (3.3 FEET) FROM THE FRONT OF THE ELECTRIC
FIREPLACE.
To disconnect the appliance, turn the controls to off, then remove
plug from outlet.
This appliance must be connected and grounded in
accordance with local codes, if hard wired. In the absence
of local codes, the use the current CSA C22.1 CANADIAN
ELECTRICAL CODE in CANADA or the current ANSI/NFPA 70
NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE in the UNITED STATES.
