combustibles at least 3 feet (0.9m) away from the front of this heater, and away from the
bottom, sides, and rear of this heater.
DO NOT place the heater near a bed because objects such as pillows or blankets can fall

DO NOT cover this heater in any manner. Doing so could block the air flow and cause the
unit to overheat, or could ignite the material covering the heater.
NEVER run the power cord under carpet, rugs, runners, or any other covering. Doing so
could cause the cord or materials covering the cord to overheat.
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.
For residential use only! NOT for commercial use! NEVER use this fireplace for other than
its intended purpose.
ALWAYS HANG UNIT BEFORE USE. DO NOT turn on or use while the unit is sitting on the
floor, ground, or other surface.
The wall mount system is designed for use ONLY with this product. NEVER use a wall
mount system from another manufacturer.
Use extreme caution if using this heater near children, or where children may be present.

WARNING
Risk of electric shock! DO NOT OPEN! No user-serviceable parts inside!
The cord supplied with the heater has a
receptacle is not available, an adapter
ALWAYS disconnect this unit from the power supply before performing any assembly or
cleaning, before replacing the light bulb, or before relocating the electric fireplace.
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 hang this unit on a wall directly below an electrical outlet.
NEVER operate this heater if the power cord or plug has become damaged, or if the
grounding pin is damaged or missing.
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.
Avoid hazards due to resetting of the thermal cut-off switch. NEVER control this unit with a
timer, or allow it to be on a circuit regularly switched off by the utility.
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.
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.
ALW AYS 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.
