INSTALLATION OF LOGS  
CABINET INSTALLATIONS  
Cabinets are available from your dealer which allow for  
fast, convenient installation of your fireplace against exist-  
ing walls.  
1. Turn off power to the unit.

3. Remove logs from packaging.  
4. The ember bed is shipped in place. No adjustment is  
necessary.  
5. Install rear left log (A15). Use notches to have a proper  
location.  
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION  
A 15 AMP, 240 Volt, 50 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. The unit comes standard  
with a 7 ft. (2134 mm) long three wire cord, exiting the right  
side of the fireplace. Plan the installation to avoid the use  
of an extension cord. If an extension cord must be used,  
it must be a minimum 16AWG, three wire with grounding  
type plug and connector and rated not less than 2500  
Watts.  
6. Install rear right log (A16). Use notches to have a  
proper location.  
7. Install front left log (A13). Use notches to have a  
proper location.  
8. Install front right log (A14). Use notches to have a  
proper location.  
A new electrical outlet can be installed inside the frame  
construciton, if permitted by local codes.  
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.  
Fig. 6

Clean the brass trim using a soft cloth, slightly dampened  
with lemon oil and buff with a clean soft cloth. Do NOT use  
brass polish or household cleaners as these products will  
damage the brass trim. Lemon oil can be obtained at  
supermarkets or hardware stores.  
The motors used on the fan and the drum assembly are  
prelubricated for extended bearing life and require no  
further lubrication. However, periodic cleaning/vacuuming  
of the fan/heater is recommended.
