Figure 1.1 Cord 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. 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 with a 6 ft. (152.4 mm) long three wire 16 AWG IEC-320 power cord. Plug in the IEC connector to the rear upper corner of the appliance then connect the cord to the wall socket.

The fireplace power cord has a three pin NEMA-5-15P plug (Figure 1A). An adapter is available for connecting to a two- slot receptacle (Figure 1C). The green grounding wire extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. The adapter should not be used if a three slot grounded receptacle is available.

F. Wall Switch and Thermostat Connections

WARNING! Do NOT connect the optional low voltage switch and/or thermostat to 120 volt branch circuit.

The Optional Wall Switch 4050-309 contains two single pole switches. (LEVITON 5634 Series or equal) The Optional Wall Thermostat is a low voltage mechanical type. (Columbus Electric RK120EAA or equal)

Maximum run distance is 30 ft. (9.14 m) with 20 gauge solid copper low voltage thermostat wire. Connect per the elec- trical wiring diagram on page 7.

G. Finishing

•The fireplace can now be positioned in the opening.
