same circuit may exceed the
current rating of the circuit
breaker.

the fireplace in a carpeted
area, place a one-piece, solid,
flat surface under the fireplace

on this surface.

power cord is not installed so
that it is pinched or against a
sharp edge and ensure that
the power cord is stored or
secured to avoid tripping or
