IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS  
Retain this User’s Guide for Future Reference  
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed  
to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the  
following:  
1. Read all instructions before using the stove.  
2. The heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch  
hot surfaces. The trim around the heater outlet becomes hot during heater  
operation. Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding,  
papers, clothes, and curtains at least 3 feet (0.9 m) from the front of the  
unit.  
CAUTION: High Temperature, keep electrical cords, drapery, and  
other furnishings at least 3 feet (0.9 m) from the front of the heater  
and away from the side and rear.  
3. Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children  
or invalids and whenever the unit is left operating and unattended.  
4. Always unplug the stove when not in use.  
5. Do not operate any unit with a damaged cord or plug, or if the heater  
has malfunctioned, or if the stove has been dropped or damaged in any  
manner. Return heater to authorized service facility for examination,  
electrical or mechanical adjustment, or repair.  
6. Do not use outdoors.  
7. The stove is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas and similar  
indoor locations. Never locate heater where it may fall into a bathtub or  
other water container.  
8. Do not run the cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs,  
runners, or the like. Arrange cord away from traffic area and where it will  
not be tripped over.  
9. To disconnect the unit, turn the controls off, then remove the plug from the  
outlet.  
10. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust  
opening as this may cause an electric shock or fire, or damage to the  
heater.  
11. To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intake or exhaust in any manner.  
Do not use on soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings may become  
blocked.  
12. All electrical heaters have hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not  
use in areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored  
or where the unit will be exposed to flammable vapors.

13. Do not modify the stove. Use it only as described in this manual. Any other  
use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock  
or injury to persons.  
14. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug  
(one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet  
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If  
it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.  
Do not change the plug in any way. Avoid the use of an extension cord.  
Extension cords may overheat and cause a risk of fire. If you must use an  
extension cord, the cord must be No. 14 AWG minimum size and rated no  
less than 1875 Watts.  
15. Do not burn wood or other materials in the stove.  
16. Do not strike the clear door panel.  
17. Always use a certified electrician should new circuits or outlets be required.  
18. Always use properly grounded, fused and polarized outlets.  
19. Disconnect all power supply before performing any cleaning, maintenance  
or relocation of the unit.  
20. When transporting or storing the unit and cord, keep in a dry place, free  
from excessive vibration and store so as to avoid damage.

Stove Installation  
! NOTE: A 15 Amp, 120 Volt circuit is required. A dedicated circuit  
is preferred but not essential in all cases. A dedicated circuit will  
be required if, after installation, the circuit breaker trips or fuse  
blows on a regular basis when the heater is operating. Additional  
appliances on the same circuit may exceed the current rating of the  
circuit breaker.  
WARNING: Ensure the power cord is not installed so that it is  
pinched or against a sharp edge and ensure that the power cord is  
stored or secured to avoid tripping or snagging to reduce the risk of  
fire, electric shock or injury to persons.  
Construction and electrical outlet wiring must comply with local  
building codes and other applicable regulations to reduce the risk of  
fire, electric shock and injury to persons.

Resetting the Temperature Cutoff Switch  
This unit is equipped with a thermostat which controls the temperature  
of the room. It does this by turning the heater on and off. The heater  
is protected with a safety device to prevent overheating. Should the  
heater overheat, an automatic cut out will turn the heater off and it will  
not come back on without being reset. It can be reset by switching  
the Main ON/OFF Switch to OFF and waiting five (5) minutes before  
switching the unit back on.  
CAUTION: If you need to continuously reset the heater, unplug the  
unit and call your local dealer.

The stove is supplied with a radio frequency remote control. This  
remote control has a range of approximately 50 feet (15.25 m). It  
does not have to be pointed at the stove and can pass through most  
obstacles (including walls). It is supplied with one of 243 independent  
frequencies to prevent interference with other units. The frequency  
designation is indicated on the back of the transmitter (Figure 4).  
The remote control operates the stove levels sequentially. The level is  
increased every time the ON button on the transmitter is pressed. The  
stove can be turned off at any point by pressing the OFF button on the  
remote control transmitter.  
Level 1: The flame effect is turned on and the first red indicator is

! NOTE: When the stove is turned on by transmitter the stove will  
start with flames only. The level can be increased every time the  
ON button on the transmitter is pressed.
