Preparing For Service - Dimplex RBF24DLX Service Manual

Preparing for Service

Tools Required: Phillips head screwdriver
WARNING: If the firebox was operating prior to
servicing, allow at least 10 minutes for the heating
elements to cool off to avoid accidental burning of skin.
WARNING: Disconnect power before attempting any
maintenance to reduce the risk of electric shock or
damage to persons.
1. Unplug the fireplace or turn off the breaker to
disconnect the power.
2. Remove the front glass.
3. Locate and remove the screw behind each of the front
legs of the firebox (2 screws total). (Figure 3)
!
IMPORTANT: Only handle the log set by the plastic
grate, not the logs themselves.
4. Slide the log set assembly forward and lift the log set
assembly and the ember mat out. (Figure 3)
!
NOTE: If using the original log set assembly, it must be
unplugged to remove it.
5. On either side of the firebox gently remove the
decorative panels by placing your finger in the gap
toward the back and pulling out. The decorative panels
are held in place by magnets and need minimal force to
be removed.
6. Locate the two brackets securing the flame panel in the
unit at the bottom and remove the 4 screws. (Figure 3)
7. Gently lift the flame panel out, and set it aside in a safe
location.
