essential in all cases. A dedicated circuit will be required if, after installation, the circuit breaker trips
or fuse blows on a regular basis when the heater is operating.
WARNING: Construction and wiring must comply with local building codes and other applicable
regulations to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons, always use a licensed electrician.

Installation
CAUTION: Two people will be required for various steps of this procedure.
This design of this unit allows three options for installation: partial recess, flush mounted or sub-surface
mounted.
CAUTION: Sub-surface mounting should be limited to ½ in. (12 mm) to ensure adequate air flow of
heated air out of the firebox area.
1. Prepare a wall with a framed opening of 16 in. (406 mm) high,
• XLF50 - 50 ⅝in. (1287 mm)
• XLF74 - 74 ⅝in. (1897 mm)
• XLF100 - 100 ⅝in. (2557 mm) wide, with a bottom sill that is a minimum of 4 in. (102 mm) deep. The
sill can be constructed to support the front of the unit to allow the power supply wires to easily be
run behind or flush with the back of the unit and a pass through hole drilled for electrical wire routing.
WARNING: Do not attempt to wire your own new circuits. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury
to persons, always use a licensed electrician.
WARNING: Ensure that the circuit on which the fireplace is to be installed has the power cut off at
the service panel until installation is complete.

General Operation
WARNING: This electric firebox must be properly installed before it is used.
This firebox operates with Comfort$averTM technology, which automatically adjusts the fan speed and
heater wattage to safely and precisely match the requirements of the room based on the thermostat
setting. The heater operates such that once the room reaches the set point, the fan and heater will
continuously run at a low level, to maintain the desired room temperature. If the temperature in the room
rises significantly, i.e. sun coming through a window or a central furnace turns on, the heater will turn off
and periodically turn back on to circulate the air around the unit, until the room temperature drops and
requires the heater to be constantly on again.
!NOTE: The unit is designed so that the fan will run continuously while the heater is on.
!NOTE: The element retains heat after shutdown, there is a built in cool down period of 2 minute
before the fan shuts off completely, when the heat function is turned Off.
Remote Operation
The fireplace is supplied with an IR multi-function remote control.
!NOTE: To operate correctly, the remote control must be pointed towards the front of the unit.
