QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE FOR THE ELECTRIC CORNER
WALL MOUNT FIREPLACE
1. Before using the electric corner wall mounted fireplace verify:
• Are the circuit breakers for the unit on?
• Are the light bulbs loose? (to check, follow the instructions for
replacing the light bulbs under the maintenance section of this
manual)

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons.
1. Read all instructions before using the corner wall mounted electric fireplace.
2. The heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot
surfaces. The trim around the heater outlet becomes hot during heater operation. Keep
combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and curtains at least
3 feet (0.9m) from the front of the unit.
3. Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children or invalids and
whenever the unit is left operating and unattended.
4. Always unplug the corner wall mounted electric fireplace when not in use.
5. Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug, or if the heater has malfunctioned, or if the wall
mounted electric fireplace has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return heater to
authorized service facility for examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment, or repair.
6. Do not use outdoors.
7. The corner wall mounted electric fireplace is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas
and similar indoor locations. Never locate heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other water
container.
8. Do not run the cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or the like.
Arrange cord away from traffic area and where it will not be tripped over.
9. To disconnect the unit, turn the controls off, then remove the plug from the outlet.
10. 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 to the heater.
11. To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intake or exhaust in any manner. Do not use on soft
surfaces, like a bed, where openings may become blocked.
12. All electrical heaters have hot and arching or sparking parts inside. Do not use in areas where
gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored or where the unit will be exposed to
flammable vapors.
13. Do not modify the corner wall mounted electric fireplace . Use it only as described in this
manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or
injury to persons.
14. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other). The plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Avoid the use of an extension cord. Extension
cords may overheat and cause a risk of fire. If you must use an extension cord, the cord must
be No. 16 AWG minimum size and rated no less than 1875 watts.
15. Do not burn wood or other materials in the corner wall mounted electric fireplace.
16. Do not strike the glass front.
17. Always use a certified electrician should new circuits or outlets be required.
18. Always use properly grounded, fused and polarized outlets.
19. Disconnect all power supply before performing any cleaning, maintenance or relocation of the
unit.
20. When transporting or storing the unit and cord, keep in a dry place, free from excessive
vibration and store so as to avoid damage.
NOTE: Procedures and techniques that are considered important enough to emphasize.
CAUTION: Procedures and techniques which, if not carefully followed, will result in damage to
the equipment.
WARNING: Procedures and techniques which, if not carefully followed, will expose the user to
