fireplace, the power cord can run behind the fireplace. 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 fireplace for wiring,
it is best to hire a professional to do this step in order to prevent
personal injury. To reduce the risk of fire, do not run the power cord
under rugs, carpets, etc. Arrange the power supply cord away from
high traffic areas where it may pose a tripping hazard.
