Wiring
The HSQ series recessed fireplace can be plugged into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Testing the Fireplace Before Installation

Before installing the fireplace, test the fireplace to make sure that it operates properly. Due to the motor, the fire will make a slight noise when in operation. The remote will need syncing to the fire unit. This can be done in either of two ways.

1. When plugging the fire in for the first time you need to use the remote rather than the buttons on the unit. When first plugged in you should see an orange light come on and whilst this is on you tap the red power button at the top of the remote several times and this will sync the remote. If the fire is already plugged in – you can unplug the fire, leave the fire off for 20 seconds, and try the above again.
2. When the fire is plugged in turn on the fire using the red button on the fire. Then whilst the fire is on hold down the red button on the unit for 3-4 seconds this should bring the orange light on and then tap the red power button at the top of the remote several times to sync.
