INSTALLATION

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.
