Planning the electric power
supply
□ Plan your electric power supply. A 15 amp, 120
volt circuit is required for this electric fireplace
insert. A dedicated circuit is preferred but not
essential in all cases. A dedicated circuit will be
required if after installation, the circuit breaker or
fuse trips. Additional appliances may exceed the
current rating of the circuit breaker or fuse.
□ Install an outlet into the existing fireplace. If an
outlet is not installed into the existing fireplace
the power cord can also run along the front of the
hearth to an outlet near the fireplace.
