Construction
1. Select a suitable
location that is not
susceptible to moisture
and is away from
drapes, furniture and
high traffic.
2. Place the fireplace in
the desired location to
see how it will look in
the room.
3. Mark the desired
location on the floor.
4. Use studs to frame an opening of 26 ¾ inch (679 mm) wide x 23 ⅛
inch (587 mm) high x 9 inch (229 mm) deep.
Option #1: The power cord can be run from behind the trim and
along the wall to an outlet near the fireplace.
Option #2: A new outlet can be installed inside the framing
construction.
Plug the unit into a 15 Amp, 120 volt outlet. If the cord does not reach,
you may use an extension cord rated for a minimum of 1875 Watts.
Existing Fireplace
1. Seal all drafts and vents with a non-fibrous insulation material to
prevent any chimney debris from falling onto the fireplace. Do not
install into an existing fireplace that is prone to dampness.
2. Cap the top of the chimney flue to prevent rain from entering.
3. Plan your electric power supply.
4. The power cord can run along the front of the hearth to an outlet
near the fireplace.
