WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment,
alteration, service or maintenance can cause injury
or property damage. Refer to this manual. For
assistance or additional information, consult a
qualified installer.
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to
persons, including the following:
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
Use this appliance only as described in this manual. Any
other use not recommended by the manufacturer may
cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
DO NOT use outdoors.
NEVER use this appliance in bathrooms, laundry rooms, or any
other location where the appliance could fall into a bathtub or
pool, become damp, or come in contact with water.
This product is not intended to be a primary heat source. It is
for supplemental heat only.
Do not locate the appliance immediately below a fixed receptacle
outlet.
Electrical Supply Circuit Requirements
Plan the location of the appliance so that it will have adequate
electric power. A 15 AMP, 60Hz circuit is required for 120V
installation. Additional appliances on the same circuit may exceed
the current rating of that circuit. A dedicated circuit is not required,
but is preferred to prevent circuit breaker trips or fuse failure.
Do not cut the ground terminal off under any
circumstances. When connected with 120 volts, the appliance
must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes,
current version of CSA C22.1 (in Canada) or in the absence of local
codes, with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70-1987.
DO NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug
or after the appliance malfunctions, has been dropped or
damaged in any manner. Discard appliance, or return to
authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.
This appliance is hot when in use. To avoid burns, DO NOT let
bare skin touch hot surfaces. Keep combustible materials, such
as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and curtains at least
3.3 feet (1.0 m) from the front of the appliance.
Extreme caution is necessary when any appliance is used by
or near children or invalids and whenever the appliance is left
operating and unattended.
DO NOT insert or allow foreign objects to enter any
ventilation or exhaust opening, as this may cause electric
shock or fire, or damage the appliance.
To prevent a possible fire, DO NOT block air intakes or exhaust
in any manner. Doing so could cause a fire. DO NOT use on soft
surfaces, like a bed, where openings may become blocked.
As the appliance has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside.
DO NOT use it in areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable
liquids are used or stored.
AVOID FIRE! Regularly inspect all air vents to make sure they
are free from dust, lint, or other blockage. Unplug the unit and
clean with a vacuum ONLY. DO NOT rinse or get wet.
DO NOT USE this appliance with any solid state speed control
devices.
Risk of electric shock! DO NOT OPEN! No user-serviceable
parts inside!
NEVER modify this appliance. Doing so could result in
personal injury or property damage. Modification of this fireplace
completely voids all warranties.
NEVER leave this appliance unattended. To disconnect
appliance, ALWAYS turn controls to "OFF" then remove plug
from outlet or turn off circuit when not in use.
ALWAYS turn this appliance off before unplugging it from the
outlet.
To prevent a possible fire, do not burn wood or other
materials in this appliance.
ALWAYS disconnect this unit from the power supply before
performing any assembly or cleaning, or before relocating the
electric fireplace.
Always use properly grounded, fused and polarized outlets.
Always use ground fault protection where required by
electrical code.
Avoid use of an extension cord because an extension cord may
overheat and cause a fire. If you have to use an extension cord,
the cord should be N.14 AWG minimum size and rated to not
less than 1875 Watts.
NEVER plug this appliance into an outlet that is old, cracked, or
has any loose wires or connections. Plugging this appliance into a
faulty outlet could result in electric arcing within the outlet that
could cause the outlet to overheat or catch fire.
DO NOT run power cord under carpeting. DO NOT cover power
cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings. DO NOT route
power cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange power cord
away from traffic area, and where it will not be tripped over.
ALWAYS check your appliance cord and plug connections with
each use!
A. MAKE SURE the plug fits tight in the outlet! Faulty wall
outlet connections or loose plugs can cause the outlet to
overheat.
B. Appliances draw more current than small appliances.
Overheating may occur even if it has not occurred with the
use of other appliances.
C. During use check frequently to see if the plug outlet is
HOT! If the outlet or faceplate is HOT, discontinue use
immediately and have a qualified electrician inspect and/or
replace the faulty outlets.
