Wiring
The appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes,
with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, if an exter-
nal electrical source is utilized. This appliance is equipped with
a three-prong [grounding] plug for your protection against
shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly
grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the
grounding prong from this plug. For an ungrounded receptacle,
an adapter, which has two prongs and a wire for grounding, can
be purchased, plugged into the ungrounded receptacle and its wire
connected to the receptacle mounting screw. With this wire com-
pleting the ground, the appliance cord plug can be plugged into
the adapter and be electrically grounded.
Caution: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servic-
ing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous
operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
Note: Junction box is to be located in the lower compartment of
the fireplace and must be pre-wired at time of fireplace in-
stallation for use with blower assembly. A standard ON/
OFF wall switch or SCV-1 variable speed control kit should
be installed to activate power to the Junction Box and pro-
vide power for the operation of the blower assembly. It is
recommended that installation of the wiring be performed
by a qualified electrician. See Figures 20 and 21.

CAUTION: ALL WIRING SHOULD BE DONE BY
A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN AND SHALL BE IN
COMPLIANCE WITH ALL LOCAL, CITY AND STATE
BUILDING CODES. BEFORE MAKING THE ELECTRI-
CAL CONNECTION, MAKE SURE THAT MAIN POWER
SUPPLY IS DISCONNECTED. THE APPLIANCE, WHEN
INSTALLED, MUST BE ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES, WITH THE
NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE ANSI/NFPA 70 (LAT-
EST EDITION).
To install the blower kit, access the junction box, or install a light
kit, remove lower louver as illustrated by figure 21.
A factory included junction box is located on the lower right side
of the fireplace. Wiring must be fed through the 7/8" diameter
hole provided on the lower side of the fireplace, and secured to
the outer wrap with the clamp provided. Leave approximately 6”
of wire in the junction box for connection.
Attach black wire to one side of the receptacle and white wire to
opposite side of receptacle. The ground wire should be attached
to the green (ground) screw. See Figure 20.
Install the receptacle into the junction box as illustrated.
Attach cover plate. Place Junction Box so that it is approximately
8 to 12" away from the outer wrap wall. Secure wiring at outer
wrap of fireplace with wire clamp provided.
Attention: If installed, do not damage gas inlet supply line when
