STEP – BY – STEP INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
(please read all instructions before installation)

1. Rough in framing following the recommended dimensions. (see figure 1)
2. Allow at least 8” of service cable for connecting power supply wire to junction box on fireplace insert when installing before finishing wall. Allow up to 4 feet of service cable for connecting power supply wire to junction box on fireplace insert after finishing wall.
3. Remove the outer jacket and strip the individual conductors ½” from end.
4. Loosen the screw securing the junction box cover and remove the cover.
5. Place unit in position in the framed opening, level with shims if necessary and attach unit to frame using mounting flanges provided ( see Section 3).
6. Wire a dedicated, properly fused circuit with a 15 amp rating for the appropriate voltage (120, 208/240). (See table above)
7. Install wall thermostat as outlined on page 10 section E
8. Place all connections inside the junction box. Secure the junction box cover on the unit.

When installing a cable clamp make sure it grips only the jacket of the service cable and thermostat wire.

| !POWER SELECTION WARNING!
This unit is factory wired for 110 volt power supply.
If 208/240 volt operation is required, slide the voltage switch and reconfigure the wiring accordingly (see figure 2).
Wires L1, L2, N & G are attached to the rear of the junction box for easy access.|

Framing

This fireplace is a zero clearance design. No combustibles can be placed on the top surface of the fireplace. Combustibles may be installed to the edge of the unit.
Four mounting flanges on the sides of the unit are provided to facilitate installation. Insulation and vapor barrier should be placed a minimum of 2 inches from the unit.

Recommended Power Supply Wire Specifications

For 120 volt installations use two conductor, non-metallic sheath cable with ground wire (3 wires total) for the incoming power supply on fireplace inserts. Use the appropriate wire to  meet local and national electrical codes for rated power consumption.
For 208/240 volt installations use three conductor, non-metallic sheath cable with ground wire (4 wires total) for the incoming power supply on fireplace inserts. Use the appropriate wire to meet local and national electrical codes for rated power consumption.
Two conductor, non-metallic sheath cable with ground wire (3 wires total) is recommended for installation of a wall mounted thermostat for use on fireplace inserts.

Recommended Wire and Fusing Requirements
Use appropriate wire to meet local and national electrical codes for rated power consumption. All wire gauges should be 12 gauge with a dedicated 15 amp breaker.

Voltage Selector Switch Location

Important:
Ensure that the incoming power supply voltage matches the setting of the voltage selector switch!!!!!!
The voltage selector switch is located inside the exhaust panel on the top left hand corner. Carefully insert a flat headed screwdriver inside the exhaust panel through the hole in the  mesh to change the switch from 240 volts (230 position) to 120 volts (115 position). The unit ships with the switch in the 115v position.

Caution:
When changing the voltage selector switch from 240 volts to 120 volts ensure that the power supply is turned off.
When wiring the unit for 208/240 volts the voltage selector switch should be in the 230 volt position. (see figure 2)
When wiring the unit for 120 volts the voltage selector switch should be in the 115 volt position. (see figure 2)

Mounting Flanges

There are two mounting flanges located on each side of the fireplace insert. Bend tabs accordingly and mount to framing using suitable hardware.

120 Volt Installation Instructions

Important

• The unit is factory configured for 120 volt operation.
• Use 2 conductor wire with ground (3 wires total) from the power supply (breaker panel) to the junction box on the unit.
• All wiring must be completed prior to installing the unit.
• Ensure that the voltage selector switch is in the proper position for the required supply voltage prior to connecting the unit to the power supply.

1. Locate the voltage selector switch inside the exhaust panel on the top left hand corner of the unit. (see figure 2 on page 3)
2. Confirm the switch is set to 120 volt configuration ( 115 volt is printed on switch).
3. Loosen the screw securing the junction box cover and remove the cover.
4. Remove the knockouts (if necessary) or use a cable clamp (not provided).
5. Pull out the four wires marked L1, L2, N, and G.
6. Connect the black L1 wire from the unit to the black L1 from the power supply.
7. Connect the red L2 wire and the N wire from the unit to the N wire from the power supply.
8. Connect the green ground wire from the unit to the ground from the power supply.
9. Ensure that all connections are tight.
10. Insert all the wiring back into the unit and secure with a cable clamp.
