Read all instructions before using this appliance.
This fireplace is hot when in use.
To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. The trim around the heater outlet becomes hot during heater operation.
Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children or infants and whenever the heater is left operating unattended.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
The appliance is not intended for use by young children or elderly persons without supervision.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, or its service agent, or a qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
Do not operate any unit with a damaged cord or plug, if the heater has malfunctioned, or if the electric fireplace has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
Do not use outdoors.
Never locate fireplace where it may fall into a bathtub or other water container.
Do not run the cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or the like. Arrange cord away from traffic area and where it will not be tripped over.
Do not locate the heater immediately below a fixed socket outlet.
To disconnect the fireplace, press button, ensure the fireplace is turned off, then unplug it from the outlet.
Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause an electric shock, fire, or damage to the heater.
Do not block air intake or exhaust in any manner. Do not use on soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings may become blocked.
All electrical heaters have hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use in areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored or where the unit will be exposed to flammable vapors.
Do not modify the electric fireplace. Use it only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury to persons.
Avoid the use of an extension cord. Extension cords may overheat and cause a risk of fire. If you must use an extension cord, the cord shall be No. 14 AWG minimum size and rated no less than 1875 Watts.
Do not burn wood or other materials in the electric fireplace.

DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are
in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, proper grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to flow and reduces the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.

This fireplace is for use on 120 volt circuits and has a grounded plug. An adapter is available for connecting three-blade grounding type plugs to two-slot receptacles. 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.
