ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

WARNING: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper
and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
If this appliance is installed with a three-prong (grounding) plug for protection against shock hazard, it should be
plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from the
plug.
For normal operation, this appliance requires 120 VAC, 2 Amp power or a 6V DC power source.
This appliance is equipped with an electrical junction box on the left side and a 6V DC power inlet connector located
directly below the Master Switch on the left side, adjacent to the glass frame's left edge. The Manual Packet accompa-
nying this appliance also includes a 4XAA Battery Pack and a connector wire harness that is designed to be used as
the 6V DC power source during electrical power outage conditions.
Planning for AC 120 VAC connection
Two options exist for supplying 120 VAC power to this appliance:
1. Connect the 8 foot grounding plug extension cord supplied in the Manual Packet to the Junction Box on the left
side using the three wire nuts supplied and run the extension cord out of the fireplace cavity to a wall electrical
outlet in the room.
2. Run Metal Flex Conduit encapsulated Romex 14-2 cable from an approved electrical junction in the home di-
rectly to the Junction Box on the left side of this appliance and connect to the three color coded wires within
the junction box using the three wire nuts supplied. Make certain to leave a 24-inch long excess loop of the
Metal Flex Conduit encapsulated Romex within the fireplace cavity to allow removal of this appliance from the
fireplace cavity during cleaning and service work.
