F. Wall Switch and Thermostat Connections
A 15 AMP, 120 Volt, 60 Hz circuit with a properly grounded outlet is required. Preferably the fireplace will be on a
dedicated circuit. Other appliances on the same circuit may cause the circuit breaker to trip or the fuse to blow when the
heater is in operation. The unit comes with a 6 ft. (152.4 mm) long three wire 16 AWG IEC-320 power cord. Plug in the
IEC connector to the rear upper corner of the appliance then connect the cord to the wall socket.
The fireplace power cord has a three pin NEMA-5-15P plug (Figure 1A). An adapter is available for connecting to a two-
slot receptacle (Figure 1C). The green grounding wire extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. The adapter should not be used if a three slot grounded receptacle is
available.
C. Framing
• Choose a fireplace location and frame as shown in Figure
2.1.
• Provide a properly gounded, 120 volt, 60 Hz, 15 AMP
circuit as shown in Figure 2.1.
G. Finishing
• The fireplace can now be positioned in the opening.
• Level it with shims if necessary.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in residential installa-
tion. This equipment generates and uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accor-
dance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or televi-
sion reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
C. Control Usage
The controls operate the fireplace modes.
• The flame effect and backlog/embers are turned ON/OFF
by alternate action of the FLAME button on the remote
transmitter.

by alternate action of the HEATER button on the remote
transmitter.
• The optional wall FLAME switch provides manual operation
(ON/OFF) of the flame effect.
