BREAK-IN PERIOD:
During the first few initial uses of this heater,
theremaybe areleaseof a slight,harmlessodor.
This odor is a normal occurrence caused by the
initial heating of the internal heating elements
and should not reoccur.
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.
IMPORTANT
Any electrical re-wiring of this
appliance must be done by a
qualified electrician.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS FOR
RECESSED FRAMING OPTION
1. Complete the framing opening to the dimen-
sions specified in Figure 3. Disable the
blower as shown in Figure 5. Insure that the
fireplace is in the off position (see Figures
7and 8).
2. Wire a dedicated, properly fused circuit with
an Amp rating for the appropriate voltage
(120 V - 15 Amps). A dedicated circuit is
required to prevent overloading a house
circuitin cases ofhavingmultiple appliances
on the same circuit. Use an outlet that is
protectedbya groundfaultcircuitinterrupter
where required by electrical code.
3. Prepare the connections to power receptical:
120 Volt Connections - Locate the power
cord on the right side of the unit and connect
it to the outlet installed during the framing
(see Figure 5).Verify that the power to the
receptacle is off.
Hard wired installation:
Ensure that there is a minimum of 8" of the
service cable for connection to the junction
box on the fireplace.
- Loosen four screwstoremove the junction
box cover plate.
- Disconnect and removethe 120Voltpower
cord from the fireplace wires.
- Position the fireplace into the framed-in
opening. Attach fireplace to frame using
nailing flanges provided.
- Complete the wiring to the fireplace as
shown on Page 14.
4. Perform afunction test. See Fireplace Heater
On/Off on Page 7 and Remote Control
Operation on Page 8.
5. Turn the master power switch to the "Off"
position and cut the power to the breaker
leading to the appliance.
RECESSED INSTALLATION
OPTION
Use the following detailed instructions for
recessed installation.
Installing the fireplace is a two person job.
1. Prepare the wall recess and electrical
receptacle as see in Figure 3, Page 4. It may
be necessary to shem the wall bracket to the
wall forming the rear of the recess to meet
the minimum distance from the bracket to the
appliance (see Figure 7).
2. IMPORTANT: Cut off the breaker leading to
the appliance.
3. Follow the wiring details located in Figure
11 on Page 14.
3.Followsteps 1-5 found underWALL MOUNT-
ING (see Page 5). to prepare decorative ele-
ments of the fireplace for installation.
4. Install the mounting bracket on the inside
wall or on the shem.
5. Disable the blower motor and heater by
removing the four screws in the Heater Cutoff
Access Panel and unplugging the wires as
seen in Figure 5.
6. Filp the master power switch to the "ON"
position.
7. Carefully seat the fireplace into the recess
opening near the top of the opening and lower
the appliance so that the mounting brackets
will catch against the brackets at the back of
the fireplace.
8. Turn the breaker supporting the fireplace
back on.
9. Use the supplied remote control to operate
the fireplace. For more information on fireplace
