Testing the Fireplace Prior to Installation
• Before installing the fireplace, test the fireplace to make sure that it operates properly.
• Plug fireplace into approved outlet and power on fireplace. Once fireplace is tested, continue
• with installation.
• If you have any problems, please contact technical support at 800-215-1990.
3-prong Outlet Installation
• Only use this fireplace on a 120V AC, 15-Amp grounded circuit. Never overload the circuit. If this
• fireplace trips the circuit breaker, unplug all other appliances on the same circuit before the next use.
• Avoid plugging other appliances into the same circuit as this fireplace.
• Always check the fireplace plug and connections before each use.
• Never plug this fireplace into an outlet that is cracked or has any loose wires or connections.
• Plugging this fireplace into a faulty outlet could result in the outlet overheating or catching fire.
• Make sure this plug fits securely into the outlet. Faulty wall outlet connections or loose plugs can cause
• the outlet to overheat. If the outlet or faceplate is hot, discontinue use immediately and have a qualified
• electrician inspect and/or replace the faulty outlet.
• The power cord supplied with the heater has three prongs: two flat blades (live and neutral) and one
• round pin (ground). If a 3-slot receptacle is not available, an adapter MUST be used. The adapter
• MUST be properly grounded to the outlet box (see figure below).
