ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS FOR
RECESSED FRAMING
1. Complete the framing opening to the dimen-
sions specified in Figure 3. Ensure that the
fireplace is in the off position (see Figure 9).
2. WIRE A DEDICATED, properly fused circuit
with an Amp rating for the appropriate volt-
age (120 V - 15 Amps). A dedicated circuit
is required to prevent overloading a house
circuit in cases of having multiple appliances
on the same circuit. Use an outlet that is
protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter
where required by electrical code.
3. Prepare the connections to power receptacle:
Figure 8 - Wiring
WARNING
Electrical wiring must comply
with local building codes and
other applicable regulations to
reduce the risk of fire, electrical
shock and injury to individuals.
