Maintenance and Service

IMPORTANT! Any safety screen, decorative barrier front
or guard removed for servicing must be replaced prior to
operating the fireplace.

many years of trouble-free service. Contact your dealer
to answer questions regarding proper operation, trouble-
shooting and service for your appliance. Visit www.heati-
lator.com to locate a dealer. We recommend annual ser-
vice by a qualified service technician.

The following tasks may be performed annually by the
homeowner. If you are uncomfortable performing any of
the listed tasks, please call your dealer for a service ap-
pointment.
More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive
lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc. It is imperative
that control compartments, burners and circulating air
passageways of the appliance be kept clean. Any safety
screen, guard, or barrier removed for servicing the appli-
ance must be replaced prior to operating the appliance.
