ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
A 15-amp, 120-volt, 60-hz circuit with a properly grounded outlet is required to operate this heater.
Preferably, the fireplace insert will be on a dedicated circuit as other appliances on the same circuit
may cause the circuit breaker to trip or blow a fuse when the heater is in operation. This unit comes
with a standard 6-foot long 3-wire cord, exiting out the back of the fireplace insert. Plan the
installation to avoid the use of an extension cord. If an extension cord must be used, it must be a
minimum 14-ga, 3-wire with a grounding-type plug and connector, and rated not less than 1875-
watts. The extension cord shall not be more than 20-feet in length.
CAUTION
There are no serviceable parts inside (except for the lightbulbs)
PRE-INSTALLATION
To avoid scratching the finish, assemble the product on a soft, non-abrasive surface, such as carpet
or cardboard. Assembly of this product may require more than one person.
INSTALLATION
Attach top electric fireplace trim piece with the screws provided. Please refer to the detailed
instructions that came with the manual that you purchased.
OPERATION
The electric fireplace “ON/OFF” switch must be switched to “ON” before any of the control functions
will operate. The main switch does not have to be turned off when the electric fireplace is not being
used for brief time periods. If, however, you are not planning to use the electric fireplace for
extended periods of time, we recommend the main power “ON/OFF” be switched off.
This electric fireplace insert features convenient separate controls for the flame effect and heat
control. This feature allows you to operate the unit in two different ways. 1.) as a full featured
fireplace insert with both flame effect and heater operating simultaneously and 2.) as a visual effect
with flame affect only. NOTE: This electric fireplace insert is not designed to operate in “heat” mode
without a flame effect.

2. The motors used on the fan heater and flame blower are pre-lubricated for extended bearing
life and require no further lubrication. However, periodic cleaning/vacuuming of the unit
around the air intake and exhaust, as well as the fan heater, is recommended. For heavy
blows alternating cold and warm air, check the fan for free movement and for debris
restricting air flow. If the fan does not move freely, the unit needs to be turned off and the fan
replaced in order to prevent further damage of the unit.
REPLACING THE LIGHTBULBS
The electric fireplace insert uses two (2) 40-watt lightbulbs. The lightbulbs are located at the bottom
of the unit. You can change the lightbulbs from the back of the electric fireplace. For your
convenience, if one of the lightbulbs burns out, it may be easier to replace all of the lightbulbs at the
same time.
1. Turn the electric fireplace master power to the “off” position.
2. Let the electric fireplace insert cool completely before changing lightbulbs.
3. Pull the mantel away from the wall so you can get in behind the electric fireplace.
4. Remove the screws from the panel using a philips or flathead screwdriver.
5. Carefully remove the lightbulb. This may require holding the light socket with one hand while
unscrewing the lightbulb with the other hand.
6. Install the new lightbulbs.
7. Insert and tighten the screws into the panel that were removed in step 4.
8. Return your mantel to its original position.
