When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the corner wall mounted electric fireplace.
2. The heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot
surfaces. The trim around the heater outlet becomes hot during heater operation. Keep
combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and curtains at least 3
feet (0.9m) from the front of the unit.
3. Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children or invalids and whenever
the unit is left operating and unattended.
4. Always unplug the corner wall mounted electric fireplace when not in use.
5. Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug, or if the heater has malfunctioned, or if the wall
mounted electric fireplace has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return heater to
authorized service facility for examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment, or repair.
6. Do not use outdoors.
7. The corner wall mounted electric fireplace is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas and
similar indoor locations. Never locate heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other water
container.
8. Do not install the fireplace directly on carpet or a similar surface which may restrict air circulation
beneath the unit.
9. Do not run the cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or the like.
Arrange cord away from traffic area and where it will not be tripped over.
10. To disconnect the unit, turn the controls off, then remove the plug from the outlet.
11. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause
an electric shock or fire, or damage to the heater.
12. To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intake or exhaust in any manner. Do not use on soft
surfaces, like a bed, where openings may become blocked.
13. All electrical heaters have hot and arching or sparking parts inside. Do not use in areas where
gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored or where the unit will be exposed to
flammable vapors.
14. Do not modify this fireplace
. Use it only as described in this manual. Any other use not
recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury to persons.
15. Avoid the use of an extension cord because the extension cord may overheat and cause a risk of
fire. However, if you have to use an extension cord, the cord shall be No.16 AWG minimum size
and rated not less than 1875 watts.
16. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). The plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do
not change the plug in any way. Avoid the use of an extension cord. Extension cords may overheat
and cause a risk of fire. If you must use an extension cord, the cord must be No. 16 AWG minimum
size and rated no less than 1875 watts.
