Fireplace Installation

Site Selection

Review and consider all of the
following conditions before instal-
lation:
• Dimensions of the unit: 34.1 in.
(867 mm) x 19.4 in. (494 mm)
• Unit requires a minimum of two
wall studs in order to ensure a
secure installation
There are three possible mount-
ing methods:
• Surface mount (pg. 11);
• In-wall Recessed (pg. 13);
• Flush mount (pg. 14),
and any of these have the option
of being hard-wired or plugged
directly into the wall outlet.
!
NOTE: If the desired fireplace
location is on an exterior wall the
unit should only be surface mount-
ed. If a in-wall or flush mount look
is desired build the interior wall
out into the room.
!
NOTE 1: A 15 Amp, 120 Volt
circuit is required. A dedicated
circuit is preferred but not essen-
tial in all cases. A dedicated circuit
will be required if, after installa-
tion, the circuit breaker trips or
fuse blows on a regular basis
when the heater is operating. Ad-
ditional appliances on the same
8
circuit may exceed the current
rating of the circuit breaker.
WARNING: Ensure the 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 snagging to
reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock or injury to persons.
Construction and electrical
outlet wiring must comply
with local building codes and
other applicable regulations to
reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock and injury to persons.
WARNING: To reduce the risk
of fire, do not store or use gaso-
line or other flammable vapors or
liquids in the vicinity of the heater.
1. Select a location that is not
susceptible to moisture and
is away from drapes, furniture
and high traffic.
2. For ease of electrical hook
up you may wish to locate
the fireplace near an existing
outlet (for plug-in convenience)
(refer to NOTE 1).
3. Remove fireplace, front glass
and hardware from the box
and remove all packaging ma-
terials before installation.
