QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE FOR THE ELECTRIC CORNER

WALL MOUNT FIREPLACE

1. Before using the electric corner wall mounted fireplace verify:

• Are the circuit breakers for the unit on?

• Are the light bulbs loose? (to check, follow the instructions for

replacing the light bulbs under the maintenance section of this

manual)

2. The heater may emit a slight, harmless odor when first used. This

odor is a normal condition caused by the initial heating of internal

heater parts.

3. The information regarding the model of your unit can be found on the

rating plate located inside the unit on the top left hand corner above

the mirror.

4. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the operation of your

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the

risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons.

1. Read all instructions before using the corner wall mounted electric fireplace.

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 (0.9m) from the front of the unit.

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 corner wall mounted electric fireplace when not in use.

5. Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug, or if the heater has malfunctioned, or if the wall

mounted electric fireplace 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 corner wall mounted electric fireplace 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 arching 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 corner wall mounted electric fireplace . 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). The 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. 16 AWG minimum size and rated no less than 1875 watts.

15. Do not burn wood or other materials in the corner wall mounted electric fireplace.

16. Do not strike the glass front.

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.

NOTE: Procedures and techniques that are considered important enough to emphasize.

CAUTION: Procedures and techniques which, if not carefully followed, will result in damage to

the equipment.

WARNING: Procedures and techniques which, if not carefully followed, will expose the user to

the risk of fire, serious injury, illness or death.
