Installation Notes
Route power to the right side of the recess before setting the unit, lift it in with two people and secure it with the four supplied screws, per the Napoleon manual. It ships set for a 120V plug-in; 240V operation requires hardwiring by an electrician. Keep the unit at least 36 in. from combustible furnishings. Electric fireplaces need no venting or gas line, which makes them a practical choice for New York City apartments and condos. Book a design consultation to plan the recess, power and finish.
