IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: This equipment has been

tested and found to comply with the limits

for a Class B digital device, pursuant to

Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits

are designed to provide reasonable

protection against harmful interference in

a residential installation. This equipment

generates uses and can radiate radio

frequency energy and, if not installed and

used in accordance with the instructions,

may cause harmful interference to radio

communications. However, there is no

guarantee that interference will not occur

in a particular installation. If this equipment

does cause harmful interference to radio

or television reception, which can be

determined by turning the equipment off

and on, the user is encouraged to try to

correct the interference by one of the

following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving

antenna.

• Increase the separation between the

equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet

on a circuit different from that to

which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced

radio/TV technician for help.

This device complies with Part 15 of the

FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the

following two conditions: (1) This device

may not cause harmful interference,

and (2) this device must accept any

interference received, including

interference that may cause undesired

operation.

FCC CAUTION: Any changes or

modications not expressly approved by

the party responsible for compliance could

void the user's authority to operate this

equipment.

This device complies with Industry

Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s).

Operation is subject to the following

two conditions: (1) this device may not

cause interference, and (2) this device

must accept any interference, including

interference that may cause undesired

operation of the device.

Under Industry Canada regulations, this

radio transmitter may only operate using

an antenna of a type and maximum (or

lesser) gain approved for the transmitter

by Industry Canada. To reduce potential

radio interference to other users, the

antenna type and its gain should be so

chosen that the equivalent isotropically

radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more

than that necessary for successful

communication.

WARNING: Remote control

contains small batteries. Keep away

from children. If swallowed, seek

medical attention immediately.

WARNING: Do not install battery

backwards, charge, put in re or mix

with used or other battery types - may

explode or leak causing injury.

!NOTE: Changes or modications

not expressly approved by the party

responsible for compliance could

void user's authority to operate the

equipment.

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 re, electric shock or injury to

persons.

WARNING: Construction

and electrical outlet wiring must

comply with local building codes

and other applicable regulations

to reduce the risk of re, electric

shock and injury to persons.

WARNING: Do not attempt

to wire your own new outlets or

circuits. To reduce the risk of re,

electric shock or injury to persons,

always use a licensed electrician.

WARNING: To reduce the risk

of re, do not store or use gaso-

line or other ammable vapors or

liquids in the vicinity of the heater.

CAUTION: Clearance for air

circulation beneath the re-

place insert is provided by two

(2) rubber feet.

Do not install the replace

insert directly on carpet or

similar surfaces which may

restrict air circulation.

CAUTION: If installing the

replace in a carpeted area,

place a one-piece, solid, at

surface under the replace

insert. Ensure that both of the

insert’s feet rest securely on

New Wall Construction

1. Mark the desired location on

the oor and store the re-

place in a safe, dry and dust

free location.

2. Use studs to frame an open-

ing of 31 ¾ in. (807 mm) wide

x 22 ¾ in. (578 mm) high x 9

½ in. (241 mm) deep.

Option #1 - The power cord can

be lead from behind the trim and

along the wall to an outlet near

the replace.

Option #2 - A new outlet can be

installed inside the new frame

construction. Plug the unit into a

15 Amp, 120 Volt outlet.

!NOTE 1: A 15 Amp, 120 Volt

circuit is required. A dedicated

circuit is preferred but not es-

sential in all cases. A dedicated

circuit will be required if, after in-

stallation, the circuit breaker trips

or fuse blows on a regular basis

when the heater is operating. Ad-

ditional appliances on the same

circuit may exceed the current

rating of the circuit breaker.

Option #3 - Hardwire

1. Wire a dedicated, properly

fused circuit with 120 Volt,

15 Amp rating. Allow up to

8 ft. (2.4 m) of service cable

for connecting power supply

to junction box on replace

when installing after nishing

wall.

CAUTION: Use two conduc-

tor, non-metallic sheath cable with

ground wire (three wires total) for

the incoming power supply on

replace inserts. Use appropriate

wire to meet local and national

Fireplace Installation

electrical codes for rated power

consumption.

2. Remove the outer jacket and

strip the individual conductor

from the end.

3. Loosen the screw securing

the junction box cover and

remove the cover.

4. Take the cables out from the

junction box, loosen the two

wire twist nuts and remove

the power cord (Figure 2).

5. Route the power supply wire

through the knockout on sup-

plied alternative junction box

cover and secure with a wire

clamp (not supplied) (Figure

3).

6. Connect the black wire (line)

from the unit to the line wire

from power supply (Figure 3).

ply (Figure 3).

9. Place all connectors inside

the unit and secure the junc-

tion box cover to unit. Ensure

that the cable clamp grips

only the jacket of service

cable.

Final Steps

ute the supplied glass rock media

on the front tray of the rebox
