INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Tools Required
A screwdriver and a Φ8mm impact drill will be needed.
Locating the Appliance
Your new electric fireplace may be installed virtually anywhere in your home. However, when choosing a location ensure that the general instructions are followed.
1.1 For best results, install out of direct sunlight.
1.2 The appliance should be connected to an earthed electrical outlet and it must be easily accessible to allow disconnection.

Prepare the electrical supply

• Plan the location of the appliance so that it will have adequate electric power. A 15 AMP, 60Hz circuit is required for 120V installation. The appliance should ideally be located close to a suitable main socket to enable power connection.
• The power cord is 6ft long and locates on the right side of the unit. If the cord is found not long enough to reach the outlet, a grounded extension could be run from an existing socket outlet but a minimum size 14 AWG with a minimum rating 1875W would be recommended, and it should not be longer than 7ft and 10 31/64””.
• Always make sure the outlet is in good condition and the plug is not loose. NEVER exceed the maximum amperage of the circuit.
