Quick Reference Guide

① Before using the In-Stud

replace verify:

• Are the circuit breakers for the

unit on?

• Are the light bulbs loose? (To
check, follow the instructions
for replacing the light bulbs
under the maintenance section
of this manual)

Fireplace Installation

!

NOTE: A 10 Amp, 240 Volt
circuit is required. 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.

CAUTION: The heater must

not be located immediately
above a socket outlet.

② The heater may emit a slight,

harmless odor when rst used.
This odor is a normal condition
caused by the initial heating of
internal heater parts.

③ The information regarding the

model of your unit can be found

on the model and serial number

plate located on the side of the
unit. See Page 3 for an illustration
on how to locate the rating plate.

WARNING: Ensure the power

cord is not installed so that it is
pinched or against a sharp

edge and ensure that the

power cord is stored or
secured to avoid tripping or
snagging to reduce the risk of
re, electric shock or injury to
persons.

Construction and electrical

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

Do not attempt to wire your

own new outlets or circuits. To
