PRE-INSTALLATION

Before You Start

Check appliance for any concealed damage.

DETAILED INSTALLATION STEPS

1.Complete the framing opening to the dimen- sions 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. Use an outlet that is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter where required by electrical code.

7.(If applicable) Make wall mount wall switch or wall thermostat connections as outlined on Pages 11 & 12.

8.Place all connectors inside the fireplace and replace the junction box cover, ensuring that the cable clamp grips only the jacket of service, and if applicable, wall switch or thermostat lines.

9.Perform a function test. See Manual Control Panel Operation on Page 6 and Remote Control Operation on Page 7.
