Due to different materials used on different walls, it is highly recommended for you to consult with your local builder before you install this electric fireplace.

Before cutting any custom finishes (i.e. granite, marble, veneer, etc.) it is recommended to double check the dimensions of the actual fireplace.

NOTE: Use a dedicated 20 Amp (or higher), 2-pole (for 10,000 BTUs) circuit breaker.
