A new electrical outlet can be installed inside the frame construciton, if permitted by local codes.
Electrical outlet wiring must comply with local building codes and other applicable regulations to reduce the risk of fire,
electrical shock and injury to persons.

2. Remove front glass (See "Glass Removal" section).
3. Remove logs from packaging.
4. The ember bed is shipped in place. No adjustment is necessary.
5. Install rear left log (A15). Use notches to have a proper location.

7. Install front left log (A13). Use notches to have a proper location.
8. Install front right log (A14). Use notches to have a proper location.

MAINTENANCE OF MOTORS
CLEANING BRASS TRIM
The motors used on the fan and the drum assembly are prelubricated for extended bearing life and require no further lubrication. However, periodic cleaning/vacuuming of the fan/heater is recommended.
Clean the brass trim using a soft cloth, slightly dampened with lemon oil and buff with a clean soft cloth. Do NOT use brass polish or household cleaners as these products will damage the brass trim. Lemon oil can be obtained at supermarkets or hardware stores.
Make sure that the power is turned off
before proceeding.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The control compartment is located behind the lower louvre panel. To access the controls, simply flip down the lower louvre panel. To locate the position of each control de­scribed below, refer to Fig. 9.
1. MAIN ON/OFF SWITCH
The On/Off switch supplies power to all of the functions of the fireplace. This is an illuminated switch which normally will light up when in the "on" position.
During any service of this appliance, the power to the unit must be turned off. It is not acceptable to use the "On/Off" switch to meet this requirement.
2. HEATER CONTROL
The Heater Control acts to turn the heater on and off as well as setting the comfort level in the room. Turning the knob clockwise from the off position will place the heater into operation. The further the knob is rotated clockwise, the higher the set point temperature. Turning the knob counterclockwise will lower the set point temperature. Turning it all the way counterclockwise will turn the heater function off. The Heat Hi/Lo Switch is located beside the On/Off switch. When the Heat Hi/Lo Switch indicates the Off position the heat is on Low (single state heat). When the Heat Hi/Lo Switch indicates the On position the Heat is on High (full state heat)
3. LOG ILLUMINATION CONTROL
This control varies the brightness of the light located above the log set. Turn the knob to increase, decrease or turn off the light as desired.
See Installation Instructions for service
details.
WARNING: Disconnect Power Before
Servicing.
WARNING: Risk of fire, keep electrical
cords, draping, and other furnishings at
least 3 feet (0.9m) from the front of the
heater.
