⑥ Do not use this firebox outdoors. ⑦ Never locate the firebox where it

may fall into a bathtub or other water

container. ⑧ Do not insert or allow foreign

objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause an electric shock, or fire, or damage the firebox.

A dedicated circuit is preferred, but not essential in all cases. A dedicated circuit will be required if, after installation, the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows on a regular basis when the heater is operating. Additional appliances on the same circuit may exceed the current rating of the circuit breaker.

Unpacking the Unit

The unit comes packed with a protective sheet covering the front of the unit. This sheet is intended to prevent dust and debris from entering during construction. This sheet is designed so that it can be partially removed to complete the wiring and unpacking and can be reinstalled until the final installation is complete.

The log set was installed on the grate and the grate permanently fixed to the firebox at the factory.

Carefully remove the packaging from around the log set. Make sure the wires from the log set are connected securely to the grate box.

CAUTION: The Realogs™ contain

LEDs to create a unique pulse and glow effect. Handle the log set carefully. They are fragile and can crack or break if dropped.

WARNING: Electrical outlet wiring must comply with local building codes and other applicable regulations to reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons.
