This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, DO NOT let bare skin touch hot surfaces. If
provided, use handles when moving this heater. Keep combustible materials, such as furniture,
pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and curtains at least 3 feet (0.9m) from the front of the heater
and keep them away from the sides and rear.
Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children or invalids and
whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.
Do not operate any heater if it malfunctions. Disconnect power at service panel and have the
heater inspected by a reputable electrician before reusing.
To disconnect the heater, turn the controls to off, and turn off power to the heater circuit at the
main disconnect panel (or operate internal disconnect switch if provided).
Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may
cause an electric shock, fire, or damage the heater.
To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner.
A heater has hot arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use in areas where gasoline, paint,
flammable vapors, or liquids are used or stored.
Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the
manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
This heater may include an audible or visual alarm to warn that parts of the heater are getting
excessively hot. If the alarm sounds (or illuminates), immediately turn the heater off and
inspect for any objects on or adjacent to the heater that may have blocked the airflow or
otherwise caused high temperatures to have occurred. DO NOT OPERATE THE HEATER
WITH THE ALARM SOUNDING (OR ILLUMINATING).
ALWAYS plug heaters directly into a wall outlet/receptacle. NEVER use with an extension cord
or relocatable power tap (outlet/power strip).
NEVER use this heater in bathrooms, laundry rooms, or any other location where the heater
could fall into a bathtub, pool, become damp, or come in contact with water.
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.
ALWAYS mount to wall bracket before use. DO NOT set on the floor, or other surface, to use.
NEVER use a wall mount bracket from another manufacturer.

ALWAYS disconnect this unit from the power supply before performing any assembly,
cleaning, or before relocating the electric fireplace.
NEVER leave this heater unattended. ALWAYS unplug this heater when not in use.
ALWAYS store this heater in a dry location. NEVER use the fireplace if it has become wet.
NEVER plug this heater into an outlet that is old, cracked, or has loose wires or connections.
Plugging this heater 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 heater cord and plug connections with each use.
i) MAKE SURE the plug fits tightly in the outlet. Faulty wall outlet connections or loose
plugs can cause the outlet to overheat.
ii) Heaters 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 face plate is HOT.
iv) If the outlet or face plate is HOT, discontinue use immediately and have a qualified
electrician inspect and/or replace the faulty outlets.

Driftwood Logs and Crushed Glass Installation
Front glass must be removed and the appliance must be mounted in its final location before the
driftwood logs and crushed glass is installed.
Install driftwood logs first, then add the crushed glass around logs.
If crushed glass falls into the channel used by the front glass, preventing the front glass from being
installed, the channel can be cleared by sliding the crushed glass along the channel until it falls into
one of the cleanout slots.
Photos below shows recommended log placement, but logs may be arranged to customer’s liking.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION). A dedicated circuit is preferred but not essential in all cases. A
dedicated circuit will be required if after installation, the circuit breaker trips on a regular basis when
heater is operating. Make sure the outlet is in good condition and the plug is not loose. NEVER exceed
the maximum amperage for the circuit.
Master Power Switch
Located above the Touch Control Panel is the Master Power Switch. Ensure the rocker switch is pressed
in the “On” position prior to operating the fireplace.
