This electric fi replace is tested and listed for use only with the approved optional accessories. Use of optional acces- sories not specifi cally tested for this electric fi replace could void the warranty and/or result in a safety hazard.
If the information in these instructions is not followed exactly, a fi re or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or death. Do not store or use gasoline or other fl ammable vapors in the vicinity of this or any other fi replace.
BEFORE INSTALLATION
Select a suitable location that is not susceptible to moisture and is away from drapes, furniture and high traffi c areas. NOTE: Follow all national and local electrical codes. This
fireplace can be installed into either an existing fi replace opening or as new construction / renovation.
EXISTING FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
Thoroughly clean out the existing fi replace and hearth area. Plan the power supply. If an existing grounded outlet is near the fi replace, the power cord can run behind the fi re- place. 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 fi replace for wiring, it is best to hire a professional to do this step in order to prevent personal injury. To reduce the risk of fi re, do not run the power cord under rugs, carpets, etc. Arrange the power supply cord away from high traffi c areas where it may pose a tripping hazard.
