IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
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:
DANGER
• Read all instructions before using this heater.
• If the information in this manual is not followed
exactly, an electric shock or fire may result causing
property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
WARNING
• This appliance is hot when in use. To avoid burns,
DO NOT let bare skin touch hot surfaces. Keep
combustible material, such as furniture, pillows,
bedding, papers, clothes and curtains at least 3 feet
from this appliance and keep them away from the
sides and rear.
• Extreme caution is necessary when any heater
is used by or near children or individuals with
disabilities and whenever the fireplace is left
operating and unattended.
• DO NOT run cord under carpeting. DO NOT cover
cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings.
DO NOT route cord under furniture or appliances.
Arrange cord away from traffic areas and where it
will not be tripped over.
• DO NOT insert or allow foreign objects to enter any
ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause an
electric shock or fire, or damage the appliance.
• This appliance has hot and arcing or sparking parts
inside. DO NOT use it in areas where gasoline,
paint or flammable vapors or liquids are used or
stored. This fireplace should not be used as a
drying rack for clothing. Christmas stockings or
decorations should not be hung in the area of it.
• Use this appliance only as described in the manual.
Any other use is NOT recommended by the
manufacturer and may cause fire, electric shock or
injury to persons.
CAUTION
• If possible, ALWAYS unplug this appliance when
not in use.
• DO NOT operate any heater with a damaged
cord or plug or after the heater malfunctions. DO
NOT operate any heater if it has been dropped
or damaged in any manner. Disconnect power
at service panel and have heater inspected by a
reputable electrician before reusing.
• Any repairs to this fireplace should be carried out
by a qualified service person.
• Under no circumstances should this fireplace be
modified. Parts having to be removed for servicing
must be replaced prior to operating this fireplace
again.
• DO NOT use outdoors.

• This appliance, when installed, must be electrically
grounded in accordance with local codes, with the
current CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code or
follow U.S.A. Installations, follow local codes and
the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA N0.70.

5
SAFETY INFORMATION (CONT'D)
• To prevent a possible fire, DO NOT block air intakes
or exhaust in any manner. DO NOT use on soft
surfaces, like a bed, where opening may become
blocked.
• The heaters MUST NOT be located immediately
below a socket-outlet.
• ALWAYS plug heaters directly into a wall outlet /
receptacle. NEVER use with an extension cord or
re-loadable power tap (outlet / power strip).
• DO NOT slide insert on top of wood to avoid
scratching wood surface.
• DO NOT place any object on top of the insert or
block the air intakes / vents as this can cause the
unit to overheat and could cause a fire.
Electrical Connection
• A 15-Amp, 120-volt, 60 Hz circuit with a properly
grounded outlet is required. Preferably, the fireplace
will be on a dedicated circuit as other appliances
on the same circuit may cause the circuit breaker
to trip or the fuse to blow when the heater is in
operation. The unit comes standard with 6-ft. three-
wire cord, exiting from the rear of the fireplace. DO
NOT exceed the current rating of the current tap.
Grounding Instructions
• This heater is for use on 120 volt. The cord has a
plug as shown below. See illustration or grounding
instruction. An adapter as shown at C is available
for connecting three-blade grounding type plugs
to two-slot receptacles. The green grounding plug
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.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Make sure the unit is turned OFF, unplugged and the heating elements of heater are cool whenever you are
cleaning the heater or fireplace.
• Clean the metal trim using a water-dampened soft, clean cloth. DO NOT use brass polish or household
cleaners as these products will damage the metal trim.
• The motors used on the fan and the flame generator assembly are pre-lubricated for extended bearing life
and require no further lubrication. However, periodic cleaning/vacuuming of the fan/heater and air intake/
output vents are recommended.
• When the heater is not in use, the power cord should be stored properly to avoid contact with hot or sharp
objects.
• Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
