(66cm) X 22 1/2" high (57.2cm) X 12" deep (30.5cm).

CAUTION
·Clearance for air circulation beneath the fireplace insert
is provided by three rubber feet (FIGURE 1). DO
NOT INSTALL THE FIREPLACE INSERT DIRECTLY
ON CARPET OR SIMILAR SURFACES WHICH MAY
RESTRICT AIR CIRCULATION. If installing the
fireplace in a carpeted area, place a one-piece, solid,
flat surface under the fireplace insert. Ensure that all
three of the insert's feet rest securely on this surface .
Existing Fireplace:
1. Seal all drafts and vents with non-fiberous insulation
materials to prevent chimney debris from falling onto
the Fireplace Insert. Do not install into an existing
fireplace that is prone to dampness.
2. Cap the top of the chimney flue to prevent rain from
entering
3. Plan your electric power supply: (Refer to Note 1)
4. The power cord can run along the front of the hearth
to an outlet near the fireplace. (FIGURE 2)
