2. Safety Information

Always adhere to the following safety precautions to prevent injury or damage to the product.

• Read all instructions before using this appliance.
• Do not operate any fireplace with a damaged cord or plug, or if the heater malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
• Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and curtains at least 3 feet (0.9 m) from the front of the heater and keep them away from the sides and rear.
• Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children or invalids and whenever the fireplace is left operating and unattended.
• Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause an electric shock or fire, or damage the heater.
• To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not use on soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings may become blocked.
• The electric fireplace features a safety cut-off device for overheating protection, which will automatically power off the unit if it overheats.
• Ensure the product is assembled on a flat, stable surface to prevent tipping.

4. Assembly Instructions

Assembly of the BOSHIRO Electric Fireplace with Mantel typically takes approximately 3 hours for two people. Follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the included assembly guide. A detailed assembly video is also available to assist you through the process.

4.1 Pre-Assembly Steps:

1. Unpack all components and verify against the parts list in your assembly guide.
2. Lay out all parts on a clean, soft surface (e.g., a blanket or carpet) to prevent scratches.
3. Identify all hardware and separate them into labeled groups as per the assembly guide.
4. Ensure you have the necessary tools (e.g., screwdriver, hammer).

4.2 Assembly Tips:

• It is highly recommended to assemble the unit in the room where it will be used due to its weight (approximately 108.5 lbs).
• While the instructions are primarily pictorial, they are clear for those familiar with flat-pack furniture assembly.
• For optimal cable management, note that the back panel for the shelves may not have pre-drilled holes for cables. You may need to create openings or omit the back panel on the side where media devices (e.g., modem, gaming console) will be placed.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your electric fireplace.
