Note: It is strongly advised that you hire a
qualied professional to undertake this step
in order to prevent personal injury. Once the
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 trafc 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.
