INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
Site Selection
Your new fireplace may be wall mounted, installed into existing framing or built into a wall.
Review and consider all of the following conditions for installation:
-Fireplace dimensions.
-Unit requires a minimum of two wall studs in order to ensure a secure installation.
There are two possible installation methods: built-in or wall-mounted.
Note: A 15 Amp, 120 Volt circuit is required. A dedicated circuit is preferred but not essential in
most cases.
Before you install
1. Select a location that is not susceptible to moisture or dust, and is away from high traffic locations
and objects that many catch fire or block openings such as drapes, pillows, furniture etc.
2. For the best effect, install the fireplace out of direct sunlight and away from overhead lighting.
3. As much as possible, select a location near an existing electrical outlet. Do not use an extension
cord with this appliance.
4. Remove appliance, glass panel, pebbles and all hardware from box and remove all packaging
related materials prior to installation.
5. Plug the unit in, then press the power key on the unit or remote control (ensure the batteries are
installed to remote control). After this, ensure the LED lights are working correctly.
6. Press On/off key to turn off the unit, then pull the plug from the socket. Store the fireplace in a safe,
dry and dust free location until you are ready to proceed with the installation.
BUILT-IN INSTALLATION
For new constructions or renovated areas
Two people may be needed to perform this installation.
1. Select a location that is not prone to moisture and is located at least 3 ft (0.9 m) away from
combustible materials such as curtains or drapes, furniture, bedding, paper, etc.
2. Place the appliance in selected location to see how it will look in the future.
3. Mark the desired location on the floor and store appliance in a safe, dry and dust free location.
4. Prepare a wall with a framed opening to accommodate the size of your unit. Leave a gap of at least
1/4" (6cm) around the edge of the appliance. Any new wiring must be done in compliance with local
and national codes, and any other applicable regulations.
WARNING - To prevent contact with sagging or loose insulation, the electric appliance must not be
installed against vapor barrier or exposed insulation. Overheating could occur and fire may result.
WARNING - Do not attempt to wire your own new outlets or circuits. To reduce the risk of injury,
electric shock or fire, call a licensed electrician.
