INSTALLING AS A FIREPLACE

Select a suitable location that is not susceptible to moisture and is away from drapes, furniture and high trafﬁc areas. Note: Follow all national and local electrical codes. This insert can be installed into either an existing ﬁreplace or as new construc- tion/renovation.

NOTICE: Never pick unit up by louvers. Louvers will bend.

Existing Fireplace Installation

1.Thoroughly clean out the existing ﬁreplace and hearth area.

2.Seal all drafts, vents or ash clean-outs with ﬁber- glass insulation. Seal the ﬂue. Once sealed, close damper to stop debris from falling onto unit.

3.If existing ﬁre box is susceptible to moisture, cap the top of the chimney ﬂue to prevent inﬁltration of water. Note: It is strongly advised that you hire a qualiﬁed professional to undertake this step in order to prevent personal injury. Once the ﬂue is capped, the chimney is no longer suitable for wood burning. Note: Do not install this unit into a ﬁreplace that is prone to dampness; the area of installation must be dry.

4.Plan the power supply. If an existing grounded outlet is near the ﬁreplace, the power cord can run along the front of the ﬁreplace. If the cord is not long enough to reach the outlet, a grounded extension cord minimumAWG 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 ﬁreplace for wiring, it is best to hire a professional to do this step in order to prevent personal injury. To reduce the risk of ﬁre, do not run the power cord under rugs, carpets, etc. Arrange the power sup- ply cord away from high trafﬁc areas where it may pose a tripping hazard.

WARNING: The solid fuel/gas ﬁreplace has been converted for use with an electric insert and cannot be used for original fuels unless all original parts have been replaced and the ﬁreplace has been reapproved by the au- thority having jurisdiction.

New Construction or Renovation

1.Select a location that is not prone to moisture and is located at least .9 m or 3 feet away from combustible materials such as curtains or drapes, furniture, bedding, paper, etc.

2.Place unit in selected location to see how it will look in the future.

3.Mark the desired location on the ﬂoor and store unit in a safe, dry and dust free location.

4.Frame in an opening leaving at least 1/4" (6 mm) around the edge of the unit. Any new wiring must be done in compliance with local and national codes and other applicable regula- tions in order to reduce the risk of ﬁre, electric shock or other injuries. Therefore, it strongly recommended that you hire a professional to complete any such work.

5.Plan you power supply. See step 4 of Existing Fireplace Installation.

Installing Insert

Once the site has been prepared, the ﬁreplace insert can be installed.

1.Install the trim onto the front of the unit.

2.Make sure switch is in the "OFF" position.

3.Plug fireplace into a 15-amp/120 volt, grounded outlet.

4.Push ﬁreplace insert so that the trim is against the ﬁnished mantle or wall surface.

NOTICE: When the front is installed it will cover the gap between the heater and framing, cabinet, ﬁnishing materials or existing ﬁreplace.
