risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons.
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.

and similar indoor locations. Never locate heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other water
container.

10. 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.

gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored or where the unit will be exposed to
flammable vapors.

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.
