16. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

LOCATING THE FIREPLACE HEATER

Plan where to locate and frame the fireplace heater. This will save time and money later when you install the fireplace. Before installation consider the following:

1. Where the firebox is located must allow for wall and ceiling

clearances (see Installation Clearances).

2. Consider a location where the appliance screen will not be exposed to direct sunlight from windows or doors.

3. A 15 ampere, 120 Volt, 60 Hz branch circuit with proper ground must be available at the location. Preferably a dedicated branch circuit should be provided to avoid circuit breakers to trip or fuses to blow.

Flush installations are recommended where living space is

limited or at a premium. Since the space required to enclose the appliance would be located beyond an outside wall, this installation would require additional planning and construction. Check local codes for any restrictions.

Projected installations can extend any distance into the

room. A projection may be ideal for a new addition on an existing, finished wall.

Corner installations make use of space that may not normally

be used and provides wider and more efficient heat distribution.

Internal wall installations provide a discreet option for room

separation and can also be an ideal addition to an existing wall.

HEARTH DIMENSIONS

Although not mandatory, a hearth extension is suggested for aesthetic purposes. The appliance may be raised on a wood or non-combustible platform supporting its entire width and depth and extending in front of the appliance as long as the louvers are not obstructed.

NOTE: In cold climates, when installing the appliance against a

non-insulated exterior wall, outer wall must be fully insulated in accordance with local building code.

FRAMING DIMENSIONS

Built-in installations require a framed-in enclosure constructed of 2 x 4 or heavier lumber and sized in accordance with Figure 5. This allows the unit to slide into the opening and be nailed to the stud space at the sides and top nailing flanges. These flanges accept 5/8” drywall or plywood board to finish the unit flush to the face. Optional trim accessories are available that will extend

½” over rough edge of the wall opening (see Accessories, page

21).

IMPORTANT: If installing a perimeter trim kit, you must install

shoulder screws before inserting firebox into opening. See instructions included with the trim kit. If installing a mantel above the firebox, you must follow clearance instructions (see

Installation Clearances, page 3).

HEARTH ASSEMBLY

Before operating the appliance the lamp bulbs must be inspected and lava rock treatments, if desired, may be added as follows:

1. Lift the log bed off the hearth base to gain access to the lamp fixtures, (the log bed is attached with contact magnets only).

2. Turn the power on to the light circuit and check that all bulbs are operating. The Red bulb is placed in the left most fixture and the Yellow

and Orange follow in that order. See Figure 10.

NOTE: If any bulbs need replacing, see Replacing Light Bulbs, page 13. Be

careful not to tear or damage the reflective strips. If they have come loose, the ends can be easily reattached or replaced at the support brackets. See -

Replacing Reflecting Ribbons, page 18.

4. Center the log bed over the opening and in between the screen and grate.

5. Cover the remaining hearth area with a ¼” layer of lava rock provided.

PRODUCT FEATURES AND CONTROL OPERATION

Models (V)E36/32L series electronic fireplaces feature a random flame

effect, and realistic log bed with glistening embers that can be adjusted for flame speed and light intensity.

Models (V)E36/32LH have an added circulating heater, rated at 1100 W. In addition to a heater, the models E36/32LB and E36/32LBH include a

hand detailed, textured red-brick lining (Models VE36/32LB and VE36/32LBH come standard with natural white brick).

The controls can be accessed by pulling on the top outer edges of the uppermost louver until the panel releases from the magnetic catches on each

side and swings down to the open position. See Figure 11. Figure 12 shows the control layout for heater equipped models with the

main power switch to the flame controls and the heater power switch (when equipped) to the heating unit. This allows independent and efficient operation of both features.

Once main power is turned on, flame speed and brightness may be turned on and adjusted independently.

A slow flame speed creates a soothing appearance of a romantic fire while a high flame speed invites the presence of a warm roaring fire.

The flame brightness may be adjusted to accommodate a particular mood or lighting situation within the room.
