Locating the Appliance
Your new electric fireplace may be installed virtually anywhere in your home. However, when choosing a location please ensure that the general instructions are followed.
5.1 For best results, install out of direct sunlight.
5.2 The appliance should be connected to an earthed electrical outlet and it must be easily accessible to allow disconnection.
