With the electric fireplace assembled, it can now be setup in a chosen location in your home.
For convenience and safety reasons, when setting up an electric fireplace you’ll need to ensure that:
- There is a nearby wall socket.
- The fireplace power cable is long enough to reach the wall socket, without the need for an extension lead.
- The power cord isn’t plugged into an external timer device.
- The appliance isn’t located on high or long pile carpet.
- The power cord can be placed a safe distance away from the heater part of the electric fireplace.
- The power cord is uncoiled and not placed under any carpets or rugs.
- The appliance is placed upright on a flat surface.
- The fireplace isn’t placed in a confined space such a cupboard, or in high moisture location in your home such as a bathroom.
- Keep a good distance between the electric fireplace and any surrounding objects so that the heater doesn’t get blocked at either the inlet or the outlet.
