or similar coverings. DO NOT route power cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange power
cord away from traffic area, and where it will not be tripped over.

 Connect to properly grounded outlets ONLY.

 DO NOT insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening, as

this may cause electric shock or fire, or damage the fireplace.

 To prevent a possible fire, DO NOT block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Doing so could

cause a fire. DO NOT use on soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings may become blocked.

 A fireplace has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. DO NOT use it in areas where

gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored.

 Use this fireplace only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by

the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

 AVOID FIRE! Regularly inspect all air vents to make sure they are free from dust, lint, or other

blockage. Unplug the unit and clean with a vacuum ONLY. DO NOT rinse or get wet.

 NEVER hang this unit on a wall directly below an electrical outlet.

 NEVER permanently install in a recessed area of the wall. This may result in blocked air

flow, overheating, or fire.

 ONLY use this fireplace on a 120V AC 10-Amp grounded circuit. NEVER overload the

circuit. If this fireplace 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 fireplace.

 NEVER plug this fireplace into an outlet that is old, cracked, or has any loose wires or

connections. Plugging this fireplace 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 fireplace 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) fireplaces 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 face plate is HOT, discontinue use immediately and have a qualified

electrician inspect and/or replace the faulty outlets.

 The power cord supplied with the fireplace 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: Adapter NOT INCLUDED.]
