Electrical Connection
A 15 amp, 120 Volt, 60 Hz circuit with a properly grounded outlet is required. Preferably, the fireplace will be on a
dedicated circuit as other appliances on the
same circuit may cause the circuit breaker to trip or the fuse to blow when the heater
is in operation. Plan the installation to avoid the use of an extension cord. Extension cords are for temporary use only. If
an extension cord must be used, it must be UL/CSA certified, rated at 15A (1875W), 125V maximum with 14 AWG
minimum and constructed of two current carrying conductors with ground. A heavy duty extension cord with the shortest
length possible for the connection is recommended and must not be longer than 50 ft. (15.2 m). Do not coil or cover the
extension cord.
Electrical outlet wiring must comply with local building codes and other applicable regulations to reduce the risk
of fire, electrical shock and injury to persons.
Do not use this fireplace if any part of it has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to
inspect the fireplace and replace any part of the electrical system which has been under water.
Grounding Instructions
This heater is for use on 120 volts. The cord has a plug as shown at A in Figure 1. An adapter as shown at C is
available for connecting three-blade grounding-type plugs to two-slot receptacles. The green grounding lug extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. The adapter
should not be used if a three-slot grounded receptacle is available.
