EF28 Electric Fireplace
10010019
• Electrical Connection
A 15 amp, 120 Volt, 60 Hz circuit with a properly grounded outlet is required. Pref-
erably, the fireplace will be on a dedicated circuit as 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 standard with a 6 ft. (1.8 m) long three wire cord, exiting
the left side of the fireplace. Plan the installation to avoid the use of an extension
cord. Extension cords are for temporary use only. If an extension cord must be used,
it must be UL/CSA certified and constructed of two current carrying conductors with
ground. A heavy duty extension cord with the shortest length possible for the con-
nection is recommended and must not be longer than 50 ft. (15.2 m). Do not coil or
cover the extension cord.
Electrical outlet wiring must comply with local building codes and
other applicable regulations to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock
and injury to persons.
Do not use this fireplace if any part of it has been under water. Imme
-
diately call a qualified service technician to inspect the fireplace and
replace any part of the electrical system which has been under water.
• Grounding Instructions
This heater is for use on 120 volts. The cord has a plug as shown at A in Figure 1. An
adapter as shown at C is available for connecting three-blade grounding-type plugs
to two-slot receptacles. The green grounding lug 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.
