AC Power Requirements
WARNING: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous
operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
For normal operation, this appliance requires 120 VAC, 2 Amp power or a 6V DC power source. The AC
power supply to this Fireplace must be hot at all times and shall not have a switch installed in it.
This appliance is equipped with an electrical junction
box on the left side. Backup DC power supply
connector wire harness is supplied with this fireplace
and shall be installed adjacent to this appliance. See
Planning for AC Power Connection
On the left-side access box cover, you will find an
electrical junction box with a strain relief clamp. To
connect AC power to this Fireplace, follow these steps:
1. Remove the junction box cover plate (secured
with two screws), route the 3wire end of an
extension cord or house power wire cable
through the strain relief in the cover plate.
2. Locate in the manual packet the plug shown in
the photo. It is labeled TO HOUSE POWER.
3. Strip the ends of the house power wires and the
three color coded wires within the junction box.
Connect each color-coded wire to corresponding colored wires within the junction box. Use the supplied wire nuts to
connect each wire pair ends.
Note: When connecting two braided wires using wire nuts, strip both braided wire ends
at least ½” and twist the two bare ends together before using wire nuts. When
connecting a braided wire to a solid copper wire, strip the solid copper wire end ½” and
the braided wire end ¾”. Twist the braided wire around the solid copper wire end before
applying the wire nut.
4. Plug the wire into the plug in the back of the outlet box. The house power plugs into the plug that is towards the front of
the fireplace. The plugs are designed so that they cannot be plugged into the wrong place.
5. Once the wire is plugged in, place the wire into the junction box and reinstall the cover plate.
