Tip for First-Time Use
When using this fireplace for the first time, or after a long period of storage, let the fireplace run for at least 15 minutes with the thermostat set at the maximum heat level to remove the “new product” smell. This smell is because the fireplace absorbs moisture, creating an odor similar to that of old leather. It will go away after a few minutes of use.

The green grounding lug extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. The adapter should not be used if a three-slot grounded receptacle is available.

You may run the power cord out of the framed wall opening to an existing outlet or install an outlet on a nearby wall stud within the wall.

In order to use the power safely, please make sure:

• NEVER use the relocatable power tap/outlet/power strip.
• NEVER exceed the maximum amperage for the circuit (Should be 120V 15amp). NEVER plug other appliances into the same circuit.
• SHOULD make sure the plug is in good condition and not loose.

The length of the power cord is 6ft. A grounded extension cord can be used, if the cord is not long enough to reach the outlet. When using the extension cord, please kindly NOTE:

• The cord is no longer than 7.87ft.
• The minimum of the wiring is AWG No. 14.
• The minimum rated power is 1900W.

Overheating Protection

• This heater has an overheating protection cutoff that switches the appliance off automatically if it overheats.
