A Unpacking the Unit

WARNING! Do NOT use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualiﬁ ed service

technician to inspect and to replace any part of the electrical system if necessary.

F. Hardwire Electrical Connections

WARNING! Electrical wiring must comply with local building codes and other applicable regulations to reduce the risk of ﬁ re, electrical shock and injury.

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.

D. Framing

• Choose a fireplace location and frame as shown in Figure 2.1.

• Frame in the ﬁ replace with a header across the top.

• It is important to allow for ﬁ nished face when setting the depth of the frame.

• If a hearth system or raised hearth is to be installed, the unit MUST be raised to provide service access and use of optional fronts.

• The ﬁ replace can now be positioned in the opening.

• Level it with shims if necessary, and attach the unit to the frame using the nailing ﬂ anges provided.

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.

G. Wall Switch and Thermostat Connections

WARNING! Do NOT connect the optional low voltage switch and/or thermostat to 120 volt branch circuit.

The Optional Wall Switch 4050-309 contains two single pole switches. (LEVITON 5634 Series or equal)

The Optional Wall Thermostat is a low voltage mechanical type. (Columbus Electric RK120EAA or equal)

Maximum run distance is 30 ft. (9.14 m) with 20 gauge solid copper low voltage thermostat wire. Connect per the electrical wiring diagram on page 7.
