Option one: Have a licensed electrician install a properly grounded, three-prong 120-volt electrical outlet at fireplace location. Locate outlet inside the framed enclosure. Blower power cord will plug into this outlet.

Option two: Have a licensed electrician connect blower to elec- trical source at junction box inside fireplace.

If using option one, have electrical outlet installed at this time. If using option two, do not connect blower to electrical source at junction box until step 6.
