BY LOCAL GOVERNING AU-

THORITY PRIOR TO USE.

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.

Locating the Firebox

The Opti-V uses an illusory reec-

tion technique and is designed

to work best when ambient light

levels are low. If the Opti-V is

installed in brightly lit areas, the

strong reections may diminish

the ame.

Depending on your specic ap-

plication, installation of the unit

at a height appropriate for the

viewers enjoyment is important. It

is recommended that the follow-

ing guidelines be used for locating

the unit.

!NOTE: Measurements are to

the bottom of the viewing area of

the ame.

For standing applications:

Maximum - 51 in. (129.5 cm)

Minimum - 26 in. (66.0 cm)

For sitting applications:

Maximum - 36 in. (91.4 cm)

Minimum - 26 in. (66.0 cm)

Hardwire Installation

The Opti-V is supplied in an as-

sembled state and is designed to

be permanently installed. The unit

comes ready for hardwire instal-

lation.

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: Ensure that the

On/Off switch is set to the Off po-

sition (refer to Operation section)

and that the circuit on which the

replace is to be installed has the

power cut off at the service panel

until installation is complete.

!NOTE: Please read all instruc-

tions before installing.

1. For rough in framing, the

opening should follow the
