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.

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.
