WARNING: This fireplace comes with an
optional manual circuit breaker reset near
the power cord supply. In case the
fireplace is not operating check the circuit
breaker and reset the button at the
breaker. If the fireplace is still not
operating immediately call a qualified
service technician to inspect the fireplace.
Voltage..........................120VAC/60Hz
Total Amps....................11.9 Amps
Total Watts....................1430 Watts
Heater Ratings..............1300 Watts
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
A 15 AMP, 120 Volt, 60 Hz circuit with a properly
grounded outlet is required. Preferably, the fireplace
will be on a dedicated circuit as other appliances on
the same circuit may cause the circuit breaker to trip or
the fuse to blow when the heater is in operation.
The unit comes standard with a 6’ (1828 mm) long
three wire cord, exiting from the rear of the fireplace.
Plan the installation to avoid the use of an extension
cord. If an extention cord must be used, it must be a
minumum 16AWG, three wire with grounding type plug
connector and rated not less than 1900 Watts.
WARNING: Electrical outlet wiring must
comply with local building codes and
other applicable regulations to reduce
the risk of fire, electrical shock and
injury to persons.
WARNING: Do not use this fireplace if
any part of it has been under water.
Immediately call a qualified service
technician to inspect the fireplace and
replace any part of the electrical system.
A hearth is not mandatory but it is recommended for
aesthetic purposes. We recommend a non-combustible
hearth which does not obstruct heater openings.
LAVA ROCK MATERIAL PLACEMENT
A bag of decorative lava rock is included with this unit.
To place the lava rock in the stove, follow the direc-
tions for removing the firebox (page 6, step 1 through
7). Spread lava rock evenly on exposed area of the
orange ember bed.
