Fireplace Installation
!NOTE: A 13 Amp, 230 Volt
alternating current (VAC) circuit is
required. A dedicated circuit is
preferred but not essential in all
cases. A dedicated circuit will be
required if, after installation, the
circuit breaker trips or fuse blows
on a regular basis when the
heater is operating. Additional
appliances on the same 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.
WARNING: 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: Do not attempt
to wire your own new outlets or
circuits. To reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock or injury to persons,
always use a licensed electrician.

Light Bulb Replacement
Allow at least five (5) minutes for
light bulbs and heater to cool off
before touching bulbs to avoid
accidental burning of skin.

and detail of the log exterior
disappears. There are two (2)
bulbs under the log set which
generate the flames and embers.
