side of the fireplace. Plan the installation to avoid the use
of an extension cord. If an extension cord must be used,
it must be a minimum 16AWG, three wire with grounding
type plug and connector and rated not less than 2025
Watts.
A new electrical outlet can be installed inside the frame
construciton, if permitted by local codes.
Electrical outlet wiring must comply with
local building codes and other applicable
regulations to reduce the risk of fire, electrical
shock and injury to persons.
Do not use this fireplace if any part of it has
been under water. Immediately call a
qualified service technician to inspect the
fireplace and replace any part of the electrical
system which has been under water.
1. Turn off power to the unit.
