Electrical Installation
WARNING: The installation of the electric fireplace must comply with the applicable Local and/or National
Electrical Codes and utility requirements.
CAUTION: A dedicated 15 Amp circuit is recommended, rated for the appropriate voltage (120 V, 240 V). 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.
