New Construction or Renovation
INSTALLATION
Existing Fireplace Installation
Thoroughly clean out the existing fireplace and hearth area.
Plan the power supply. If an existing grounded outlet is near the
fireplace, the power cord can run behind the fireplace. If the cord is
not long enough to reach the outlet, a grounded extension cord
minimum AWG No. 14 and rated to a minimum of 1875 watts may be
used. If you plan to cut or drill a hole in the existing fireplace for wiring,
it is best to hire a professional to do this step in order to prevent
personal injury. To reduce the risk of fire, do not run the power cord
under rugs, carpets, etc. Arrange the power supply cord away from
high traffic areas where it may pose a tripping hazard.
Select a location that is not prone to moisture and
is located at least 0.9 m or 3 feet away from
combustible materials such as curtains or drapes,
furniture, bedding, paper, etc.
Place the unit in selected location to see how it will
look in the future.
Mark the desired location on the floor and store
unit in a safe, dry and dust free location.
Frame in an opening leaving at least 1/4" (6 mm)
around the edge of the unit. Any new wiring must
be done in compliance with local and national
codes and other applicable regulations in order to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or other
injuries. Therefore, it is strongly recommended
that you hire a professional to complete any such
work.
