DETAILED INSTALLATION STEPS

1.Complete the framing opening to the dimensions specified in Figure 2.

2.Ensure that there is a minimum of 8" of service cable for connection to the junction box on the fireplace. Remove the outer jacket and strip the individual wires 1/2" from the end.

3.Loosen the screw securing the junction box cover and remove the cover.

4.Position the fireplace into the framed-in opening. Attach fireplace to frame using nailing flanges provided.

5.Complete the wiring to the fireplace for the appropriate voltage (120 V or 240 V), as shown on pages 10 & 11. Wires L1, L2, N & G are attached to the rear of the junction box cable clamp for easy access.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS NOT TO SCALE.

6.Wire a dedicated, properly fused circuit with an Amp rating for the appropriate voltage (120 V - 15 Amps or 240 V - 20 Amps). A dedicated circuit is required to prevent over- loading a house circuit in cases of having multiple appliances on the same circuit.
