UNPACKING AND TESTING APPLIANCE
Carefully remove the appliance from the box.
Prior to installing the appliance, test to make sure the appliance operates properly by
plugging the power supply cord into a conveniently located 120 Volt grounded outlet.
Test all aspects of its operation (manual switches, remote and heater) to make sure all
components operate correctly.
NOTE: There may be trace f d r during the first few minutes f initial use. This is
harmless, n rmal and will never ccur again.
GROUNDING APPLIANCE
This appliance is for use on 120 Volts. The cord has a plug as shown 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.
To disconnect appliance, turn controls to off, then remove plug from outlet.
LOCATING THE FIREPLACE
Plan where to locate and frame the fireplace. This will save time and money later when you
install the fireplace. Before installation consider the following:
1. Where the fireplace is located must allow for wall and ceiling clearances
2. Consider a location where the fireplace screen will not be exposed to direct sunlight from
windows or doors.
3. A 15 ampere, 120 Volt, 60 Hz branch circuit with proper ground must be available at the
location. Preferably a dedicated branch circuit should be provided to avoid circuit
breakers to trip of fuses to blow.
As with most electronic devices, your new electric fireplace has been designed to operate at
temperatures between 5 ℃ (41℉) and 35 ℃ (95℉). During the cold winter months, allow the
fireplace to reach room temperature before turning it on.
