Power Cord Replacement
If the fireplace was operating prior to servicing allow at least
10 minutes for light bulbs and heating element to cool off to
avoid accidental burning of skin.
Disconnect power before attempting any maintenance or
cleaning to reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to
persons.
Replacement Procedure:
1. Remove the firebox from the mantel.
2. Remove the eight (8) Philips screws that fasten the top
cover to the rest of the firebox. There are: three (3)
screws on each side along the top edge; and two (2)
screws on the back along the top edge (Figure 12,
Page 10).
3. Flip the top panel over and rest it on the top of the
fireplace.
CAUTION: Use caution when flipping top panel over as
there are components attached to the top panel which
are wired to the internal cavity of the fireplace.

existing power cord. One (1) leads to the bottom terminal
of the Main On/Off Switch, the other leads to the Neutral
terminal on the Remote Control Board mounted to the
underside of the Top Panel (Figure 21).

on the inside of the fireplace and push it, and the power
cord through the chassis (Figure 21).
