Installation

Continued

Note: It is strongly advised that you hire a qualified professional to undertake this step in order to prevent personal injury. Once flue is capped, 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 instal- lation must be dry.

4.Plan the power supply. If an existing grounded outlet is near fireplace, power cord can run along front of fireplace. If cord is not long enough to reach outlet, a grounded extension cord minimum AWG No. 14 and rated to a minimum of 1875 watts, may be used. If you plan to cut or drill a hole in 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 power cord under rugs, carpets, etc. Arrange power supply 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 at least 3 feet (0.9 m) away from combustible materials such as curtains or drapes, furniture, bedding, paper, etc.

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

3.Frame in an opening leaving at least 1/4" (6 mm) around the edge of the unit (see Framing). Any new wiring must be done in compliance with local and national codes and other applicable regulations 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.

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