This fireplace is a true zero clearance design. Combustibles may be installed to the edge of the unit. A drywall lip at the top of the unit and four nailing flanges on the sides of the unit are provided on each unit to facilitate installation. The dashed line in the above figure indicates the recommended framing dimensions.
POWER REQUIREMENTS 240V Installation: Three conductor, non-metallic sheath cable with ground wire is recommended for installation of these electric fireplaces. Use appropriate wire to meet local and national electrical codes for rated power consumption. Each unit should be on an individual, properly fused circuit. 120V Installation: Two conductor, non-metallic sheath cable with ground wire is recommended for installation of these electric fireplaces. Use appropriate wire to meet local and national electrical codes for rated power consumption. Each unit should be on an individual, properly fused circuit. Wall Mounted Thermostat Installation: Two conductor, non-metallic sheath cable with ground wire is recommended for installation of the wall mounted thermostat with these electric fireplaces. Use appropriate wire to meet local and national electrical codes for rated power consumption.
WIRING This fireplace has been built at the factory to be installed with 240V or 208V electrical service. To convert this fireplace to 120V service, remove cover from junction box located on right side of fireplace, pull the wire bundle and wire-nuts through the opening and configure the wire groupings as per the tables below: MODELS WITH REMOTE CONTROLS: 240V (from factory) L1, L1, 1 3, 5 L2, 6 B, C, 7 F, F, F 8
FOR USE WITHOUT REMOTE CONTROLS: 240V (from factory) 5, 6 1, 2 3, 4
120V L1, L1, 1 F, F, F, 6 7, 8 B, 3 C, 5, L2
120V 2, 3 1, 4 F, L2 5, 6
When wiring, make sure all wires are accounted for and there is no possibility of a wire touching any part of the fireplace. Check all wire-nuts to ensure that all connections are properly made (e.g. pull on wires to make sure they don’t come out). Once the wiring has been configured for the proper supply voltage replace wire bundle inside the unit.
WALL SWITCHES AND WALL MOUNTED THERMOSTATS 240V Installation:
Figure 1
The wall-mounted thermostat can be connected through the service connection by placing it in the L2 line as shown above. 120V Installation:
Figure 2 The wall-mounted thermostat must be connected to the fireplace by running a 2-conductor wire from the unit to the thermostat as shown above. The wire is connected to the wires marked F and 6. If a remote control is not being used connect to wires marked 5 and 6---connecting ground wire in both cases. An appropriately rated wall switch can replace the thermostat in this installation. Another wall switch, with similar rating, can be connected to the service line to control the entire unit.
STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION 1.
Rough in framing opening following above recommended dimensions.
2.
Allow 8” of service cable for connecting to the junction box on the fireplace. Remove the outer jacket and strip the individual conductors ½” from the end.
3.
Loosen the screw securing junction box cover and remove the cover.
4.
Remove knockouts if necessary or use provided cable clamp.
5.
Place unit in position in opening, level using shims, and attach unit to frame using nailing flanges provided.
6.
Make service connections for 240/208V installation according to Figure 1. Or configure for 120V service connection if necessary (the wires are attached to the junction box cover L1=black, L2=red, N=white, GND=green) and make service connections for 120V installation according to Figure 2.
7.
Make wall mounted thermostat connections as outlined above (Figure 1 for 240/208V installation and Figure 2 for 120V installation).
8.
Place all connectors inside the unit and replace the junction box cover, ensuring that the cable clamp grips only the jacket of service and thermostat lines.
