• 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 ft. (1.8 m) long three wire cord, exiting the right side of the fireplace. Plan the installation to avoid the use of an extension cord. Extension cords are for temporary use only. If an extension cord must be used, it must be UL/CSA certified, rated at 15A (1875W), 125V maximum with 14 AWG minimum and constructed of two current carrying conductors with ground. A heavy duty extension cord with the shortest length possible for the con- nection is recommended and must not be longer than 50 ft. (15.2 m). Do not coil or cover the extension cord.
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.
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 which has been under water.
