WARNING: Electrical outlet wiring must comply with local building codes
and other applicable regulations to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,
or injury to persons.
NOTE: A 13Amp (EU) or 10 Amp(AU/ NZ) circuit is required. A dedicated
circuit is preferred, but not essential in all cases. A dedicated circuit will
be required if, after installation, the circuit breaker trips or the fuse
blows on a regular basis when the heater is operating. Additional appliances
on the same circuit may exceed the current rating of the circuit breaker.
Unpacking the Unit
The unit comes packed with a protective sheet covering the front of the unit.
This sheet is intended to prevent dust and debris from entering during
construction. This sheet is designed so that it can be partially removed to
complete the wiring and unpacking and can be reinstalled until the final
installation is complete.
The log set was installed on the grate and the grate permanently fixed to the
firebox at the factory.
Carefully remove the packaging from around the log set. Make sure the wires
from the log set are connected securely to the grate box.
CAUTION: The Realogs™ contain LEDs to create a unique pulse and glow
effect. Handle the log set carefully. They are fragile and can crack or break
if dropped.
