Tools required: Phillips head screwdriver.
Needle nosed pliers.
CAUTION: Follow "Preparation for Service" instructions
before proceeding.

the media tray, which lies along the bottom of the
interior Partially Reflective Glass. A medium sized
container such as a bucket or a box will be needed to
keep the glass ember-bed pieces together.

wedged underneath the Partially Reflective Glass. They
may obstruct the ease of removing the Partially Reflective
Glass from the fireplace.

the 2 screws on each retaining bracket; (2 brackets in
total), located on the left and right side of the Partially
Reflective Glass. (Figure 12)

connector that allows a second wire to connect to the same
prong as the first wire. Try and keep the "piggy-back" con-
nection together when pulling the wires off the element.
