Keep the top at least 24 in from the ceiling and do not use an extension cord; the power cord option is for 120V only. Use indoors only. Wi-Fi is needed for app control. This is an electric unit with no gas line, vent or chimney, which makes it a practical choice for New York City apartments, condos and townhouses where gas or vented fireplaces are not an option. Hardwiring or any new circuit should be done by a licensed electrician to local code. Book a free design consultation and we will help you plan the layout, utilities and installation.
