BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION

For flush wall/recessed installation using mantels such as SAV-AR-41 an

alcove should be constructed before fireplace installation with

the outlet located in it. During installation of a recessed unit you

simply plug in the unit, slide it back into place and put on the mantle

to close off the opening. For service simply slide the unit out and

unplug.

WARNING

 Risk of electric shock! DO NOT OPEN! No user-serviceable parts inside!
 ALWAYS disconnect this unit from the power supply before performing any assembly or cleaning, or

before relocating the electric fireplace. Do not depend on the ON/OFF switch, the sole means of
disconnecting power.

 ALWAYS store this heater in a dry location. NEVER use the fireplace if it has become wet.
 NEVER use this heater in bathrooms, laundry rooms, or any other location where the heater could fall

into a bathtub or pool, become damp or come in contact with water.

 NEVER operate this heater if the power cord or plug has become damaged, or if the grounding pin is

damaged or missing. Return heater to authorized service facility for examination, electrical or

mechanical adjustment, or repair.

 Place the heater near a wall outlet so an extension cord is not needed. If an extension cord is needed, the

gauge of the cord must be at least 14AWG, and the rating must be at least 1875 Watts. NEVER use
a smaller gauge cord with a lower rating. Doing so may result in fire or electric shock.

 ONLY use this heater on a 110~120 Volt 15 Amp grounded circuit. NEVER overload the circuit. If this

heater trips the circuit breaker, unplug all other appliances on the same circuit before the next use. Avoid
plugging other appliances into the same circuit as this heater.

 Connect to properly grounded outlets only. NEVER plug this heater into an outlet that is old, cracked, or

has any loose wires or connections. Plugging this heater into a faulty outlet could result in electric
arcing within the outlet that could cause the outlet to overheat or catch fire.

 ALWAYS check your heater cord and plug connections with each use!

i) MAKE SURE the plug fits tight in the outlet! Faulty wall outlet connections or loose plugs can cause

the outlet to overheat.

ii) Heaters draw more current than small appliances. Overheating may occur even if it has not

occurred with the use of other appliances.

iii) During use check frequently to see if the plug outlet or faceplate is HOT!
iv) If the outlet or faceplate is HOT, discontinue use immediately and have a qualified electrician

inspect and/or replace the faulty outlets.

 The power cord supplied with the heater has

three prongs: two flat blades (live and neutral)
and one round pin (ground). If a 3-slot
receptacle is not available, an adapter MUST
be used. The adapter MUST be properly
grounded to the outlet box (see figure at right).

[NOTE: The adapter is NOT INCLUDED.]
