Testing the Fireplace Prior to Installation
 Before installing the fireplace, test the fireplace to make sure that it operates properly.
 Plug fireplace into approved outlet and power on fireplace. Once fireplace is tested, continue with
installation.
 If you have any problems, please contact technical support at 800-215-1990 opt 2.
3-prong Outlet Installation
 Only use this fireplace on a 120V AC, 15-Amp grounded circuit. Never overload the circuit. If this
fireplace 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 fireplace.
 Always check the fireplace plug and connections before each use.
 Never plug this fireplace into an outlet that is cracked or has any loose wires or connections. Plugging this
fireplace into a faulty outlet could result in the outlet overheating or catching fire.
 Make sure this plug fits securely into the outlet. Faulty wall outlet connections or loose plugs can cause the
outlet to overheat. If the outlet or faceplate is hot, discontinue use immediately and have a qualified
electrician inspect and/or replace the faulty outlet.
 The power cord supplied with the heater has three prongs: two flat 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 below).

Wall Mounted Installation
 Due to many different finish materials use on walls, it is highly recommended that you consult your local
builder before you install this fireplace on the wall.
 Select a location that is not prone to moisture and is located at least 36” away from combustible materials
such as curtains, drapes, furniture, bedding, or other combustible materials.
Instructions
1. Select a location that is not prone to moisture and is located at least 36” away from combustible materials, such
as curtains, drapes, furniture, bedding, paper, etc.
2. With glass panel removed (see p.11 for instructions on removing glass panel), have two people hold the fireplace
against the wall to determine the final location.
3. Place the unit face down on a soft, non-abrasive surface. Locate the mounting bracket that was removed on p.10.
4. Locate the wall studs using an electronic stud-finder. It is recommended that the mounting bracket be fastened to
at least 2 studs (3 studs recommended).

Wall Mounted Installation – cont.
5. Using the wall mount bracket as a template, mark the holes on the wall at least 8” apart, with 3 of the holes
preferably on 3 studs.
When hanging the wall bracket, it is recommended to fasten the mounting bracket to 3 studs. If fastening to 3
studs, no dry anchors would need to be used. If fastening to only 2 studs, then 3 dry wall anchors would need to be
used to fasten the mounting bracket to the wall.
Note: The minimum height from the bottom of the fireplace, once hung on the wall, to the surface below must be at
least 6”. To meet this criteria, the wall mount bracket should be hung no lower than 24” from the ground to the
top of the mounting bracket when hung on the wall.
6. Once the holes are marked, use a ¼” drill bit to drill a pilot hole. If the screws will go into 3 studs, then no
drywall anchors are needed. If screws only go into 2 studs, you will need to use 3 drywall anchors. Tap the
drywall anchors into the wall until they are flush with the drywall surface.
