side of the fireplace. Plan the installation to avoid the use
of an extension cord. If an extension cord must be used,
it must be a minimum 16AWG, three wire with grounding
type plug and connector and rated not less than 2500
Watts.
6. Install rear right log (A16). Use notches to have a
proper location.

proper location.
A new electrical outlet can be installed inside the frame
construciton, if permitted by local codes.
Electrical outlet wiring must comply with
local building codes and other applicable
regulations to reduce the risk of fire,
electrical shock and injury to persons.
