Installation
Placement
!
NOTE: Optimal installation height is 60" (152.4 cm) to the bottom of the media plate or log set. Installing the
product above this height may reduce the flame visibility.
!
NOTE: For optimal performance, a clearance of 18" (457 mm) between the bottom of the media plate or log set
and any surface above should be maintained. A minimum clearance of 16" (405 mm) must be maintained.
The CDFI1000-PRO and CDFI500-PRO are supplied in an assembled state and are designed to be permanently
installed. The units come ready for hardwire installation and the use of the water refill containers.
When determining a location for the Opti-myst® cassette, ensure that the unit will not be susceptible to drafts, vents,
ceiling fans and other air currents. Similar to a candle, large movements of air will affect the unit's ability to create
and maintain the flame effect. If the desired location is susceptible to significant air movement, such as air vents, the
different installation options illustrated in Figure 1 (page 7) can be used. It is important that the surface surrounding
the top of the cassette have at least a 3" (72 mm) clearance from any vertical surface and the barrier be 10" (254 mm)
high from the installation surface, to ensure optimal flame production.
Installation in a Bathroom
If this unit is installed in a bathroom, it must be protected by a GFCI receptacle or circuit. If a receptacle is used, it
must be readily accessible.
To prevent electrical shock this unit is an electrical appliance that is not watertight and must be installed as to prevent
water from entering the unit. This unit must be installed away from showers, tubs, etc. Never locate fireplace over a bathtub
or other water containers. Keep towels and other combustible materials 3 feet (0.9 m) away from the top of the unit.
