Hi Thomas, thank you for this question! For all of our WalkerEdison Fireplace units, to ensure the highest level of safety, the Customer Safety Information in the operations manual must be followed. The list of warnings are common sense, but are critical for safe operation. The units themselves are CSA and GCC Certifed, and include Thermal Overload Protection (a thermostat limiter that will shut off the power supply). Safe operation depends heavily on following these safety warnings. Due to the electronic nature of this product, I want to highlight a warning in particular, "Electric wiring must comply with local building codes and other applicable regulations to reduce risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons." Of incidents that have occurred, failure to follow this warning may have caused issue with older houses where the wiring may have not been up to local code. I highly recommend verifying, as you would with any space heater, that your wiring is up to local code before installing this product. Due to limited space here, I can only go so in depth -- if you would like more information, please reach out to us at [email protected] or give us a call at 877-203-2917. Hopefully this was informative, thank you!
