Circulating Air Blower
The circulating air blower should be checked and cleaned annu-
ally by a qualified service person to ensure that your appliance is
operating efficiently. Any dirt or lint can affect the operation of the
blower.
Heat Exchanger
The heat exchanger is located on the backside of the fireplace.
The heat exchanger should be inspected and cleaned annually by
a qualified service person.
Filter
The filter is located on the inside of the lower louver panel (on fire-
places equipped with FIKQ, FFKQ or FWKQ Surrounds) or on the
inside bottom flange of the surround (FHKQ Surrounds).
To clean the filter on fireplaces equipped with the lower louver pan-
el, remove the louvered panel and disengage the filter rod from its
retaining holes (Figure 46).
For fireplaces equipped with louverless FHK surrounds, the entire
surround must be removed from the fireplace. To remove the sur-
round, lift and remove the support bracket hooks. Remove the fil-
ter retainers and filters from the inside bottom flange by removing
the screw holding the filter retainers in place (Figure 47).
The filters may be rinsed with water or blown clean with com-
pressed air. Allow the filters to dry completely before reinstalling
them.
