5. Installation
The LegendFlame electric fireplace can be installed as a wall-mounted unit or recessed into a wall. A 120V, 15AMP dedicated circuit is required. Two electrical connection options are available: plug-in or hard-wiring.
5.1 Planning Your Installation
Consider the location carefully. Ensure there is adequate clearance from combustible materials. The front of the appliance draws in cold air and dispenses heat, so the rear of the unit remains cool, preventing damage to surrounding structures or electronics.
