!!! WARNING !!!
THE INSTALLATION OF THE FIREPLACE UNIT MUST COMPLY WITH THE APPLICABLE
LOCAL AND/ OR NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODES AND UTILITY REQUIREMENTS.
THIS INSTALLATION SHOULD BE ENTRUSTED TO DULY QUALIFIED
PERSONNEL WHERE REQUIRED BY LAW.
!POWER SELECTION WARNING!
This unit is factory wired for 120 volt power supply.
If 120 volt operation is required, slide the voltage switch
and reconfigure the wiring accordingly (see figure 2).
Wires L1, L2, N & G are attached to the rear of
the junction box for easy access.
! !
1) Rough in framing following the
recommended dimensions. (see figure 1)
2)Allow at least 8” of service cable for
connecting power supply wire to junction
box on fireplace insert when installing
before finishing wall. Allow up to 4 feet of
service cable for connecting power supply
wire to junction box on fireplace insert
after finishing wall.
3) Remove the outer jacket and strip the
individual conductors ½” from end.
4) Loosen the screw securing the junction
box cover and remove the cover.
5) Place unit in position in the framed
opening, level with shims if necessary
and attach unit to frame using mounting
flanges provided ( see Section 3).
6) Wire a dedicated, properly fused circuit with
a 15 amp rating for the appropriate voltage
(120, 208/240). (See table above)
7) Place all connections inside the junction
box. Secure the junction box cover on the
unit.
When installing a cable clamp make sure it
grips only the jacket of the service cable
and thermostat wire.

Framing Specifications: Figure 1
This fireplace is a zero clearance design. No
combustibles can be placed on the top
surface of the fireplace. Combustibles may
be installed to the edge of the unit.
For 120 volt installations use two conductor,
non-metallic sheath cable with ground wire
(3 wires total) for the incoming power supply
on fireplace inserts. Use the appropriate wire
to meet local and national electrical codes for
rated power consumption.
For 208/240 volt installations use three
conductor, non-metallic sheath cable with
ground wire (4 wires total) for the incoming
power supply on fireplace inserts. Use the
appropriate wire to meet local and national
electrical codes for rated power consumption.

Four mounting flanges on the sides of the unit
are provided to facilitate installation.
Insulation and vapor barrier should be placed
a minimum of 2 inches from the unit.
Two conductor, non-metallic sheath cable with
ground wire (3 wires total) is recommended
for installation of a wall mounted thermostat
for use on fireplace inserts.
Recommended Wire and
Fusing Requirements
Use appropriate wire to meet local and
national electrical codes for rated power con-
sumption. All wire gauges should be
12 gauge with a dedicated 15 amp breaker.

Voltage Selector Switch: Figure 2
The voltage selector switch is located behind
the top brick panel on the right hand corner.
Section 3: Voltage Selector Switch Location
When wiring the unit for 208/240 volts the
voltage selector switch should be in the
230 volt position. (see figure 2)
When wiring the unit for 120 volts the voltage
selector switch should be in the 115 volt
position. (see figure 2)
Caution:
When changing the voltage selector switch
from 240 volts to 120 volts ensure that the
power supply is turned off.
Important:
Ensure that the incoming power supply
voltage matches the setting of the
voltage selector switch!!!!!!
