Nailing Brackets•

Nailing brackets are provided on the exterior of the fireplace to secure the fireplace to the framing(see Figure 4). If using ½” facing (i.e.: drywall), use the standoff closest to the face of the fireplace(see Figure 4 item “a”). If using 7/8” to 1” facing, use the other standoff (see Figure 4 item “b”).
NOTE: Make sure the fireplace is square before securing the nailing brackets. The fireplace faceshould measure an equal distance corner to corner. Use shims, if necessary, to insure
proper alignment.
NOTE Keep the front and back panel in place while installing. This will help insure the fireplace issquare.

Electrical Connection•

The electrical line to the grounded receptacle inside the fireplace must be installed by a qualified
installer and must meet all local codes.

•

Make sure the circuit breaker is shut off prior to working on any electrical lines.

•

The appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in theabsence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian ElectricalCode, CSA C22.1.

•

You may wish to install a wall switch to interrupt the circuit leading to the fireplace. A switch and wall
plate are included with the fireplace. Do not install a dimmer (rheostat) on this fireplace, this will
damage the bulbs.

Wiring the Junction Box
Remove and discard the two shipping screws on the candle tray (see Figure 5 item “a”). Lift the tray fromthe fireplace, making sure to un-plug the socket from the junction box inside the fireplace (Figure 5 item“b”). The power supply is routed into the fireplace from below. You may wish to use the included wall
switch (Figure 5 item “c”) to control the fireplace. The junction box is shipped below the candle tray.
Remove the cover plate, receptacle, and romex connector from the junction box (Figure 5 item “d”).
Route the power supply through the romex connector and connect to the receptacle. The romex
connector secures the junction box to the base of the fireplace and prevents the wire from dislodging(Figure 5 item “e”). An optional remote control is included (Figure 5 item “f”). If you wish to use theremote, plug the remote into the receptacle and the candle tray into the remote.

Steps for Finalizing the Installation

to not allow dust or other debris to enter the firebox. We recommend finalizing the installation after all construction
work has been completed.

to prevent damage (see Figure 6 below).

Light Bulb Installation
Carefully remove the 3 light bulbs from the packaging and install into the sockets following the directions below.
.WARNING:

1
2
3

Do not over-tighten the bulbs when screwing them in. The base of the bulb is fragile
and may break if over-tightened. Do not grasp the bulb by the tip. THE BULBS ARENOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.

Carefully remove the bulb from the packaging. Do not hold the bulb by the tip. Grasp it by the center
cylinder.
Carefully screw the bulb into the socket until it bottoms out – it does not need to be tight.
Repeat this process for the remaining bulbs.

Do NOT grasp thebulb by the tip.

NOTE: the insulating
cardboard sleeve is notshown in these pictures.
Make sure it is in place
to protect the wiring andconnections.

.HINT: The light bulbs have an electric “flame” that tilts from side to side

when in operation, creating a flicker. To maximize the bulb’svisual effect, we recommend that you install the bulb with the“flame” tilting side to side, not front to back. To properly align thebulbs, we recommend the following steps:
1. Gently tilt the bulb side to side to identify how the flame ispositioned.
2. Carefully screw the bulb into the socket following the directions
above.
3. Loosen the base of the socket holder and swivel it until the bulb isproperly aligned. Re-tighten the base to secure.

Cylinder Installation
The cylinders (stone, frosted, or wax) include instructions for installation. Follow these instructions, taking
care to not damage the bulbs during installation.

Crushed Glass Installation
After the candles are properly aligned, pour one bag (2-1/2 pounds) of crushed glass onto the firebox
floor. Use a glove to carefully even out the glass on the firebox floor, making sure it is evenly distributed.
