Note: It is strongly advised that you hire
a qualied professional to undertake this
step in order to prevent personal injury.
Once ue is capped, chimney is no longer
suitable for wood burning.
Note: Do not install this unit into a replace
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 replace, power
cord can run along front of replace. 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 replace for wiring, it is
best to hire a professional to do this step in
order to prevent personal injury. To reduce
the risk of re, do not run power cord under
rugs, carpets, etc. Arrange power supply
cord away from high trafc areas where it
may pose a tripping hazard.
WARNING: The solid fuel/gas
replace 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 replace
has been reapproved by the au-
thority having jurisdiction.
