DANGER
Electrical Connection
A 15 Amp, 120 Volt, 60 Hz circuit with a properly grounded outlet is required.
Preferably, the fireplace will be on a dedicated circuit as 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 ft. (1.8 m)
long, three-wire cord, exiting the right side of the fireplace. Always plug
the unit into a wall outlet/receptacle. An extension cord or re-locatable
power tap, (outlet/power strip), should never be used.
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.
Do not use this fireplace if any part of it has been underwater. Immediately
call a qualified service technician to inspect the fireplace and replace any
part of the electrical system which has been under water.
Grounding Instructions
This heater is for use on 120 volts. The cord has a plug as shown at (A) in
figure 1. An adaptor as shown at (C) is available for connecting three-blade
grounding-type plugs to two-slot receptacles. The green grounding lug
extending from the adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box.
The adaptor should not be used if a three-slot grounded receptacle is
available.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Read All Instructions Before Use
Check that the heater outlet grill is not covered or obstructed in any way,
and make sure the power to the unit is switched on.
NOTE: When the heat function is used for the first time, a slight odor
may be present. This is normal and should not occur again unless the heater is
not used for an extended period of time.
Control Panel
The control panel is located behind the door of the stove.
Power
The Power Switch supplies power to all of the functions of the stove. This
switch must be in the ON position for any functions to work.
Flame Effect
Toggle POWER Switch ON. The POWER indicator light will glow. Flame effect will
be visible through the front glass.
Temperature
Toggle Temperature Switch ON, the Temperature control knob regulates the
temperature level of the room. The further the knob is rotated clockwise, the
higher the temperature setting. Turning the knob counter-clockwise will lower
the temperature setting. Use this function to help regulate the ambient
temperature level.
Temperature Limiting Control
This heater is equipped with a Temperature Limiting Control. Should the heater
reach an unsafe temperature, the heater will automatically turn off. To reset:
Unplug the power cord from the outlet. Wait 5 minutes. With the POWER switch
in the OFF position, plug the power cord back into the outlet.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Always turn the heater OFF and unplug the power cord from the outlet before
cleaning. Use a vacuum or duster to remove dust and dirt from the heater and
vent areas. To maintain the finish, clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth and
buff with a dry cloth. Never use abrasive cleansers, liquid sprays, or any
cleaner that could scratch the surface.
Never drag the unit across a floor. The added stress from dragging the unit
may cause the legs to break.
Glass Information (some models)
- Under no circumstances should this product be operated with broken glass.
- Do not strike or slam the glass.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean the glass.
- This product uses tempered glass. Replacement of the glass supplied by the manufacturer should be done by a qualified service person.
Light Bulb Inspection and Replacement
The flame effect is created by two 40-Watt light bulbs with an E-12 (small)
socket base. Use only this type of light bulb. If the flame effect does not
work, the bulbs may have come loose or been damaged during shipping.
Light bulbs become very hot during use. Allow at least 10 minutes for the
bulbs to cool before touching .
To inspect or replace the bulbs, first, unplug the power cord from the outlet.
Locate the access panel on the back of the stove. Remove the screws and the
panel. Check the bulbs to be sure they are finger-tight and in working order.
Replace any damaged or faulty bulbs. Reattach the access panel. Do not operate
this heater without the access panel in place. Do not remove the back cover of
this heater. There are no serviceable parts inside.
WARNING: Do not exceed 40 watts per bulb. Use of higher-rated bulbs may
result in a fire, causing property damage or personal injury.
Maintenance of Motors
Always disconnect the appliance from the main power supply and allow it to
cool before any servicing operation.
The motors used on the fan heater and flame effect are pre-lubricated for
extended bearing life and require no further lubrication. However, periodic
cleaning/vacuuming of the appliance around the air intake and exhaust, as well
as the fan heater is recommended. For heavy or continuous use, periodic
cleaning must be done more frequently. If the heater blows alternating cold
and warm air, check the fan for free movement and for debris restricting
airflow. If the fan does not move freely, the unit must be turned off and the
fan replaced immediately in order to prevent further damage to the unit.
ELECTRIC WIRING DIAGRAM
Any electrical repairs or rewiring of this unit should be carried out by a
licensed electrician in accordance with national and local codes.
