LOCATING YOUR ELECTRIC FIREPLACE
Your new freestanding electric fireplace may be installed virtually anywhere in your home.
However, when choosing a location for your new electric fireplace, ensure that the general
instructions are followed. For best results, install the electric fireplace out of direct sunlight.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
A 15 AMP, 120 Volt, 60Hz circuit with a properly grounded outlet is required. Preferably, the heater will
be on a dedicated circuit. Other appliances on the same circuit may cause the circuit breaker to trip or
the fuse to blow when the heater is in operation. The unit comes standard with a 6' (1828mm) long
three wire cord exiting from the rear of the fireplace. Plan the installation to avoid the use of an
extension cord. If an extension cord must be used, it must be a minimum 16 AWG three wire with
grounding type plug connector and rated no less than 1900 Watts.
