A. As a Fireplace  
Select a suitable location that is not susceptible to moisture  
and is away from drapes, furniture and high traffic areas.  
CAUTION  
Sharp Edges  
Wear protective gloves and safety  
glasses during installation.  
Note: Follow all national and local electrical  
codes.  
Wall Cabinet Kit, Corner Cabinet Kit or Custom  
Cabinet Installation  
The Cabinet must provide access to the wall outlet.  
WARNING  
Shock Risk  
For ease of electrical hookup, you may wish to install the  
heater near an existing outlet. A15 amp, 120 volt circuit is  
required. Adedicated circuit is preferred but not essential  
in all cases. A dedicated circuit will be required if, after  
installation, the circuit trips or fuse blows on a regular basis  
while the heater is operating. Additional heaters on the  
same circuit may exceed the current rating of the circuit  
breaker.  
Improperly grounded outlets could cause  
electrical shock.  
Always use properly grounded, fused and  
polarized outlets.  
Always use ground fault protection where  
required by electrical code.  
If using a wall cabinet or corner cabinet, refer to the  
installation instructions supplied with the kit. For custom  
cabinets, frame and construct with the opening and depth  
dimensions listed in Figures 3.1 and 3.2.  
Before plugging the heater into the wall outlet, make sure  
all control switches are in the “OFF” position.  
WARNING  
Shock Risk  
Fire Risk  
Improperly protected power cords could  
cause electrical shock or fire.  
• Before finishing the cabinet, the heater must be set into the  
cabinet and the power cord routed to the electrical outlet.  
If the power cord does not reach the outlet, a No. 16-AWG  
minimum wire size extension cord rated for a minimum of  
1875 watts may be used. Use minimum length and do not  
coil cord.  
Do not pinch the cord or lay against a  
sharp object.  
Do not cover the cord with carpeting, throw  
rugs or runners.  
Secure and arrange cord to avoid a  
tripping hazard.  
Do not coil cord.  
To complete the heater installation, refer to Section 5.  
Non-Cabinet or Chase Installation  
Follow recommended framing dimensions in Figures 3.1  
and 3.2.  
Set the heater into the framed opening. Secure the heater  
in place using the nailing flanges on both sides of the  
heater and nail to the framing.  
To nish out the heater, follow the instructions found in  
Section 6.  
To complete heater installation, see Section 5.

Aretaining method may be needed to secure the heater  
in place.  
B. As an Insert  
Pre-installation Preparation  
This insert and its components are tested and safe when in-  
stalled in accordance with this manual. Report to your dealer  
any parts damaged in shipment, particularly the condition  
of the glass. Do not install any heater with damaged, in-  
complete or substitute parts.  
Combustible facing material may be installed over the  
original combustible or noncombustible facing material on  
the solid fuel fireplace. The original specified clearances  
of a factory-built fireplace must be maintained, with  
the exception of the hearth. Clearances on a masonry  
fireplace must be maintained at 12 in. from the opening  
for combustible projections over 1-1/2 in. Clearances for  
combustible projections under 1-1/2 in. must be maintained  
per NFPA 211. Plan the surround size accordingly. A front  
face must be used with the insert.  
The insert front face is tested and approved with this insert  
and may cover existing air circulation vents or grilles on the  
solid fuel fireplace it is installed into. Should the face not  
cover the entire ventilation grille surface, the grille should  
be left open.  
WARNING  
Fire Risk  
Do not install or operate damaged heater.  
Do not modify heater.  
Installation other than as instructed by Hearth & Home  
Technologies Inc. is strictly prohibited.  
Do not operate the heater without fully assembling all  
components.  
The solid fuel fireplace’s flue damper must be fully locked  
in the closed position or removed for installation.  
Note: Decorative trim front faces have been  
tested and approved to cover existing air  
circulation vents or grills.  
Installation and/or use of any component part not  
approved by Hearth & Home Technologies.  
Hearth & Home Technologies disclaims any responsibility  
for, and the warranty and agency listing will be voided by  
the above actions.  
The chimney must be capped.  
Install the insert without the front face and make all  
electrical connections.  
Installation  
These inserts are designed for installations into solid  
fuel masonry or factory built noncombustible fireplaces  
that have been installed in accordance with the national,  
provincial, state or local building codes.  
You should seal off the area between the termination cap  
and the top of the existing chimney opening to avoid down  
drafts, moisture and/or cold air problems.  
Minimum fireplace opening requirements are shown in  
Figures 3.1 and 3.2 of this installation manual. The firebrick  
(refractory) can be removed from a factory built fireplace  
in order to gain minimum insert opening requirements.  
This insert requires no hearth extensions. Combustible  
material on the floor may be installed up to the insert. Do not  
obstruct the lower grill of the insert. The original fireplace  
cannot be returned to solid fuel in this condition.  
The metal floor of the solid fuel firebox may be removed  
to facilitate the installation of the insert. The side walls  
and top structure of the firebox may not be altered with  
the exception of removable baffles and dampers. The  
original fireplace cannot be returned to solid fuel in this  
condition.  
Note: The warning label above, located in the  
instruction package, must be affixed to the  
lower back wall of the existing fireplace prior  
to installation of the insert.  
Note: When the front is installed it will  
cover the gap between the heater and the  
framing, cabinet, finishing materials or existing  
fi r e p la c e .  
Position, Level and Secure Insert  
Place the heater into position.  
Level the heater from side to side and from front to  
back. If necessary, use the leveling bolts included in  
the manual bag. Screw the bolts into the nuts installed  
in the bottom of the insert (see replacement parts  
diagram). Turn bolts in until the insert is level.

C. Wiring  
WARNING  
Shock Risk  
Note: This heater must be electrically wired and grounded  
in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local  
codes, with National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70-latest  
edition or the Canadian Electric Code, CSA C2.1 as  
appropriate.  
Improperly grounded outlets could cause  
electrical shock.  
Always use properly grounded, fused and  
polarized outlets.  
Always used ground fault protection where  
required by electrical code.  
All wiring must be done by a qualified electrician.  
Use appropriate wire to meet local and national  
codes for rated power consumption.  
CAUTION  
CAUTION  
Disconnect remote controls during your extended absence.  
This will prevent accidental operation of the heater.  
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing  
controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous  
operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.  
A dedicated circuit is preferred but not essential in  
all cases. A dedicated circuit will be required if, after  
installation, the circuit trips or fuse blows on a regular  
basis when the heater is operated. Additional appliances  
on the same circuit may exceed the current rating of the  
circuit breaker.

The heater is wired from the factory with a polarized plug.  
No provisions have been made for hardwiring.  
For ease of electrical hook up, you may wish to install the  
heater near an existing outlet. A 15 amp, 120 volt circuit  
is required.  
Run the cord out the notch of the front face.  
Before plugging the heater into the wall outlet, make sure  
the control switch is in the “OFF” position.  
If the cord does not reach the outlet, a No. 16-AWG  
minimum wire size extension cord rated for a minimum  
of 1875 watts may be used. Use minimum length and do  
not coil cord.  
If installing inside a pre-existing fireplace and if permitted  
by local codes, an electrician may install an outlet box  
inside the existing fireplace. Place the outlet in the lower  
back of the firebox.
