NOTE : A 10 Amp, 230 – 240 Volt 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 fuse blows on a regular basis when the heater is operating.

WARNING : Construction and wiring must comply with local building codes and other applicable regulations to reduce the risk of ?re, electric shock and injury to persons.

WARNING : To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons, always use a licensed electrician.

****WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of the heater.

1. Select a location that is not susceptible to moisture and is away from drapes, furniture and high traffic.

2. Unpack the ?replace and hardware from the box.
   ! NOTE : Leave the front glass and partially reflective glass, safely, in the box until the time you are ready to install it.

3. Store the ?replace in a safe, dry and dust free location until you are ready to install the fireplace.

Installation

CAUTION : Two people will be required for various steps of this procedure.

This design of this unit allows three options for installation: partial recess, flush mounted or sub-surface mounted.

CAUTION : Sub-surface mounting should be limited to ½ in. (12 mm) to ensure adequate air flow of heated air out of the firebox area.

1. Prepare a wall with a framed opening of 16 in. (40.6 cm) high,
   • XLF50 – 50 ⅝ in. (128.7 cm)
   • XLF74 – 74 ⅝ in. (189.7 cm)
   • XLF100 – 100 ⅝ in. (255.7 cm) wide, with a bottom sill that is a minimum of 4 in. (10.2 cm) deep. The sill can be constructed to support the front of the unit to allow the power supply wires to easily be run behind or flush with the back of the unit and a pass thru hole drilled for electrical wire routing.
   ! NOTE : It is recommended that the bottom of the unit be mounted between 30 in. (76.2 cm) and 40 in. (102 cm) from the ground to maintain an optimized viewing angle of the flame.
   WARNING : Do not attempt to wire your own new circuits. To reduce the risk of ?re, electric shock or injury to persons, always use a licensed electrician.
   WARNING : Ensure that the circuit on which the ?replace is to be installed has the power cut off at the service panel until installation is complete.

2. The unit is provided with an installed ¾ in. (2.0 cm) trim. Depending on the installation, this trim can be removed by removing the securing screws and the 4 trim pieces.

3. Lift ?replace, from the bottom and the handles located on the back, and insert into opening to the desired depth.

4. Using a bubble level (supplied) ensure that the ?replace is level within the framing. Adjust as required.

5. Drive four supplied mounting screws through the four mounting holes located on the inside surface of the ?replace chassis, into wall studs (Figure 2).

For Bathroom Use

If this unit is installed in a bathroom it must be protected by a GFI receptacle or circuit. If receptacle is used it must be readily accessible.

3. Before installation ensure that the front glass and the partially reflective glass are clean. Particles can be removed by dusting lightly with a clean dry cloth. To remove fingerprints or other marks, the glass can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Ensure that the glass has completely dried before installation.
4. Carefully secure the suction cup to the partially reflective glass, reflective side out, and place into the openings on either side of the unit.
5. Tip the glass into the unit and using the removed screws secure the glass into the unit with the provided bracket (Figure 3). Remove the suction cup.

Operation

General Operation

WARNING : This electric firebox must be properly installed before it is used.

This firebox operates with Comfort $aver™ technology, which automatically adjusts the fan speed and heater wattage to safely and precisely match the requirements of the room based on the thermostat setting. The heater operates such that once the room reaches the set point, the fan and heater will continuously run at a low level, to maintain the desired room temperature. If the temperature in the room rises significantly, i.e. sun coming through a window or a central furnace turns on, the heater will turn off and periodically turn back on to circulate the air around the unit, until the room temperature drops and requires the heater to be constantly on again.

! NOTE : The unit is designed so that the fan will run continuously while the heater is on.

! NOTE : The element retains heat after shutdown, there is a built in cool down period of 2 minute before the fan shuts off completely, when the heat function is turned Off.
