② This replace is hot when in use.
To avoid burns, do not let bare skin
touch hot surfaces. The trim around
the heater outlet becomes hot dur-
ing heater operation.
DANGER: High temperatures
may be generated under certain
abnormal conditions. Do not
partially or fully cover or obstruct
the front of this heater.
③Extreme caution is necessary

Site Selection
Review and consider all of the
following conditions before installation:
• Dimensions of the unit: 34.1 in.
(867 mm) x 19.4 in. (494 mm)
• For surface installation, the unit
requires a minimum of 2 wall
studs in order to ensure secure
installation. For other installation
methods, suitable framing is
required.
There are three possible mounting
methods:
• Surface mount (pg. 10);
• Partial Recessed (pg. 11);
• Flush mount (pg. 12),
and any of these have the option of
being hard-wired or plugged directly
into the wall outlet.
WARNING: The top of the
replace is to be installed at least
4" (10.2 cm) from the ceiling.
CAUTION: Ensure installation
does not allow replace to be in
direct contact with building vapor
barrier or insulation and meets all
local building code.
!NOTE 1: A 15 Amp, 120 Volt
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
Fireplace Installation
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 re, electric shock or injury to
persons.
Construction and electrical
outlet wiring must comply with
local building codes and other
applicable regulations to reduce
the risk of re, electric shock and
injury to persons.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
re, do not store or use gasoline
or other ammable vapors or
liquids in the vicinity of the heater.
1. Select a location that is not
susceptible to moisture and is
away from drapes, furniture and
high tra󰀩c.
2. For ease of electrical hook up you
may wish to locate the replace
near an existing outlet (for plug-in
convenience) (refer to NOTE 1).
3. Remove replace, front glass
and hardware from the box and
remove all packaging materials
before installation.

conductor and a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER: Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a
qualied electrician or serviceman
if you are in doubt as to whether
the product is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided
with the product – if it will not t

Maintenance
Fireplace Surface Cleaning
Use only a damp cloth to clean
painted surfaces of the replace.
Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Servicing
Except for installation and
cleaning described in this
manual, an authorized service
representative should perform
any other servicing.

power before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning to
reduce the risk of re, electric
shock or damage to persons.
!NOTE: The replace should
not be operated with an
accumulation of dust or dirt
on or in the unit, as this can
cause a build up of heat and
eventual damage. For this
reason the heater must be
inspected regularly, depending
upon conditions and at least at
yearly intervals.
Partially Reective Glass
Cleaning
The partially reective glass is
cleaned in the factory during
the assembly operation. During
shipment, installation, handling,
etc., the partially reective glass
may collect dust particles; these
can be removed by dusting lightly
with a clean dry cloth.
To remove ngerprints or other
marks, the partially reective
