IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION!
WARNING
ALWAYS keep electric cords, home furnishings, drapes, clothing, papers, or other
combustibles at least 3 feet (0.9m) away from the front of this insert, and away from the
bottom, sides, and rear of this insert.
DO NOT place the insert near a bed because objects such as pillows or blankets can fall off
the bed and be ignited by the insert.
DO NOT COVER this insert or block the air vents at all. Doing so could cause a fire.
AVOID fire or electric shock! NEVER insert or allow any foreign objects to enter the
ventilation or exhaust openings of this insert.
Prevent Fire! Keep all flammable liquids, like gasoline or paint, away from this insert. This
insert produces arcing sparks that could ignite flammable liquids.
DO NOT cover this insert in any manner. Doing so could block the air flow and cause the
unit to overheat, or could ignite the material covering the insert.
NEVER run the power cord under carpet, rugs, runners, or any other covering. Doing so
could cause the cord or materials covering the cord to overheat.
AVOID FIRE! Regularly inspect all air vents to make sure they are free from dust, lint, or other
blockage. Unplug the unit and clean with a vacuum ONLY. DO NOT rinse or get wet.
WARNING
For residential use only! NOT for commercial use! NEVER use this fireplace for other than
its intended purpose.
Use extreme caution if using this insert near children, or where children may be present.

break.

to move this insert while it is hot.

WARNING
Risk of electric shock! DO NOT OPEN! No user-serviceable parts inside!
ALWAYS disconnect this unit from the power supply before performing any assembly or
cleaning, or before relocating the electric fireplace.
ALWAYS store this insert in a dry location. NEVER use the fireplace if it has become wet.
NEVER use this insert in bathrooms, laundry rooms, or any other location where the insert
could fall into a bathtub or pool, become damp or come in contact with water.
NEVER operate this insert if the power cord or plug has become damaged, or if the
grounding pin is damaged or missing.
Place the insert near a wall outlet so an extension cord is not needed. If an extension cord is
needed, the gauge of the cord must be at least 14AWG, and the rating must be at least
1875 Watts. NEVER use a smaller gauge cord with a lower rating. Doing so may result in
fire or electric shock.
ONLY use this insert on a 110~120 Volt 15 Amp grounded circuit. NEVER overload the
circuit. If this insert trips the circuit breaker, unplug all other appliances on the same circuit
before the next use. Avoid plugging other appliances into the same circuit as this insert.
NEVER plug this insert into an outlet that is old, cracked, or has any loose wires or
connections. Plugging this insert into a faulty outlet could result in electric arcing within the
outlet that could cause the outlet to overheat or catch fire.
ALWAYS check your insert cord and plug connections with each use!
i) MAKE SURE the plug fits tight in the outlet! Faulty wall outlet connections or loose plugs
can cause the outlet to overheat.
ii) Inserts draw more current than small appliances. Overheating may occur even if it
has not occurred with the use of other appliances.
iii) During use check frequently to see if the plug outlet or faceplate is HOT!
iv) If the outlet or faceplate is HOT, discontinue use immediately and have a qualified
electrician inspect and/or replace the faulty outlets.
•The cord supplied with the insert
has a
plug with two blades (live and neutral) and
one round pin (ground). If a 3-slot
receptacle is not available, an adapter
MUST be used. The adapter MUST be
properly grounded to the outlet box (see
figure at right).
