APPLIANCE.

THIS APPLIANCE MUST REMAIN REMOVABLE FROM THE ENCLOSURE. THE APPLIANCE MAY BE

HARD WIRED, BUT IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT IT BE PLUGGED INTO A STANDARD OUTLET USING

THE SUPPLIED POWER CORD. THIS APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE SEALED AROUND THE FRONT

FACING.

APPLIANCE VENTS LOCATED ON THE FRONT AND BACK OF THIS ELECTRIC APPLIANCE CANNOT,

IN ANY WAY, BE COVERED AS IT MAY CREATE A FIRE HAZARD.

BEFORE INSTALLATION

Select a suitable location that is not susceptible to moisture and is away from drapes, furniture and high traffi c
areas. NOTE: Follow all national and local electrical codes. This appliance can be installed into either

an existing fi replace opening or as new construction / renovation.

EXISTING APPLIANCE INSTALLATION

Thoroughly clean out the existing fi replace and hearth area.
Plan the power supply. If an existing grounded outlet is near the appliance, the power cord can run behind the
appliance. If the cord is not long enough to reach the outlet, a grounded extension cord minimum AWG No. 14
and rated to a minimum of 1875 watts may be used. If you plan to cut or drill a hole in the existing fi replace for
wiring, it is best to hire a professional to do this step in order to prevent personal injury. To reduce the risk of
fi re, do not run the power cord under rugs, carpets, etc. Arrange the power supply cord away from high traffi c
areas where it may pose a tripping hazard.
