A Unpacking the Unit
Carefully remove packaging from the unit. The front screen
is held in place with four Phillips head screws. To remove
the screen, extract the screws. Grasp the screen frame and
pull out.
B. Locating Your Electric Fireplace
Your new electric fi replace may be installed virtually
anywhere in your home. However, when choosing a location
ensure that the general instructions are followed. For best
results, install out of direct sunlight.
Power supply service must be either completed or placed
within the heater prior to fi nishing to avoid reconstruction.
Protective cover may stay on during framing, but must be
removed before fi nal fi nishing. Once fi nal fi nishing has been
completed, the protective cover can be used to protect the
heater until fi nal installation is complete.

unit MUST be raised to provide service access and use
of optional fronts.
• The fi replace can now be positioned in the opening.
• Level it with shims if necessary, and attach the unit to the
frame using the nailing fl anges provided.
F. Hardwire Electrical Connections
Note: All wiring must be completed prior to fi nishing the
unit.
For supply connections use No. 14 AWG or larger wires. Use
copper wire only. Connect only to a 15 AMP branch circuit.
A dedicated circuit is recommended as other appliances on
the circuit may cause the breaker to trip or fuse to blow
when the heater is operating.
• Remove the screws securing the junction block cover.
• Wire to a properly grounded, 120 volt, 60 Hz, 15 AMP
circuit
• Ensure all junction block connections are tight.
• Replace the cover and retaining screws.
• Plug in the IEC-320-C14 power plug to the IEC-320-C13
power inlet located on the upper right side of the unit.
• All components and wiring may be inspected by removing
the top inter-panel through the fi replace front opening.
