Usage Features
Installation:
The electric fireplace should be located in an area out of direct sunlight, not susceptible to moisture, and away from uninsulated outside walls. It is a heavy unit, and two people are recommended for moving the assembled stove to prevent injury. The stove must be assembled near its desired location.
Clearance to Combustibles:
- Sides: 4 in. (101.6 mm)
- Floor: 0 in. (0 mm)
- Top: 36 in. (914 mm)
- Front: 36 in. (914 mm)
- Rear: 0 in. (0 mm)
Combustible materials such as furniture, bedding, papers, clothes, and curtains must be kept at least 3 ft. (0.9 meter) away from the front of the appliance, and all items away from the sides and rear. The unit should not be installed on shelves, raised platforms, beds, blankets, or pillows.
Electrical Connection:
A 15-Amp, 120-Volt, 60 Hz dedicated circuit with a properly grounded outlet is required. The unit must always be plugged directly into a wall outlet/receptacle. Extension cords or re-locatable power taps (outlet/power strips) should never be used. The cord should not be run under carpeting or covered by throw rugs, runners, or similar items, and must be arranged away from traffic areas to prevent tripping. If an adapter is used for connecting three-blade grounding-type plugs to two-slot receptacles, the green grounding lug must be connected to a permanent ground. Adapters are not allowed for use in Canada.
Operation:
The control panel is located behind the door of the stove.
- Main Power Switch: This switch supplies power to all functions and must be in the ON position for the stove to operate.
- Flame Effect: Toggling the Power Switch ON will activate the flame effect, visible through the front glass, and illuminate the Power indicator light.
- Temperature Knob: This knob regulates the room's temperature level. Rotating it clockwise increases the ambient temperature.
- Temperature Limiting Control: If the heater reaches an unsafe temperature, it will automatically turn off. To reset, unplug the power cord, wait 5 minutes, ensure the Power switch is in the OFF position, then plug the power cord back into the outlet.
When used for the first time, a slight odor may be present, which is normal and should dissipate after initial use.
Safety Precautions:
- Always read all instructions before use.
- The appliance is hot when in use; avoid touching hot surfaces.
- Unplug the appliance when not in use.
- Operate under supervision, especially near children or invalids.
- Do not operate with a damaged cord, plug, or if the appliance malfunctions.
- Do not modify the appliance or use it outdoors.
- Do not use in bathrooms or near water.
- Do not block air intakes or exhaust openings.
- Do not use in areas with gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids.

Before any maintenance, turn all controls to the "OFF" position, unplug the appliance, and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes.
Glass Information:
- Never operate with broken glass.
- Do not strike or slam the glass.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners on the glass.
- Replacement of tempered glass must be done by a qualified service person.
Light Bulb Inspection and Replacement:
- The flame effect uses two 40-Watt E-12 socket base light bulbs.
- Allow bulbs to cool for at least 10 minutes before touching.
- To inspect/replace, unplug the power cord, locate the access panel on the back of the stove, remove screws and the panel.
- Check bulbs for tightness and working order; replace any damaged or faulty bulbs.
- Reattach the access panel securely. Do not operate without the access panel in place.
- Do not exceed 40 watts per bulb to prevent fire, property damage, or personal injury.
Motor Maintenance:
- Always disconnect power and allow the unit to cool before servicing.
- The fan heater and flame blower motors are pre-lubricated and require no further lubrication.
- Periodic cleaning/vacuuming of air intake, exhaust, and fan heater is recommended.
- For heavy use, more frequent cleaning is necessary.
- If the heater blows alternating cold and warm air, check the fan for free movement and debris. If the fan does not move freely, turn off the unit and replace the fan immediately to prevent further damage.
Care & Cleaning:
- Always turn off the stove and unplug the power cord before cleaning.
- Use a vacuum or duster to remove dust and dirt from heater and vent areas.
- Clean the finish with a soft, slightly damp cloth, then buff with a dry cloth.
- Never use abrasive cleansers, liquid sprays, or any cleaner that could scratch the surface.
Troubleshooting:
The manual provides a troubleshooting guide for common issues such as the stove not operating, the flame effect not visible, the heater not operating, or excessive noise. It advises checking power connections, circuit breakers, light bulbs, switches, wiring, and vents, and to contact customer service for defective parts or complex issues.
