Maintenance

  WARNING: Disconnect power
before attempting any main-
tenance or cleaning to reduce
the risk of fire, electric shock or
damage to persons.
!
NOTE: The fireplace should
not be operated with an accumu-
lation of dust or dirt on or in the
unit, as this can cause a build up
of heat and eventual damage. For
this reason the heater must be
inspected regularly, depending
upon conditions and at least at
yearly intervals.
Light Bulb Replacement
Light bulbs need to be replaced
when you notice a dark section of
the flame or when the clarity and
detail of the log exterior disap-
pears. There are four bulbs under
the log set which generate the
flames and embers and two bulbs
up, in behind the grill that illumi-
nate the interior of the fireplace.
Required Tools: Phillips #2
screw driver, Slot screw driver.
Helpful Hints: It is a good idea to
replace all light bulbs at one time
if they are close to the end of their
rated life. Group replacement will
reduce the number of times you
need to open the unit to replace
light bulbs.
To open the light bulb area:
CAUTION: Allow at least five
minutes for light bulbs to cool off
before touching bulbs to avoid ac-
cidental burning of skin.
1. Remove the trim by turning
the retaining fasteners coun-
terclockwise 1/4 turn until the
trim releases from the firebox
using a slotted screwdriver
(Figure 5).
2. Hold the glass in place while
removing the retaining clip
from the upper center of the
firebox (Figure 6A, B).
3. Lift glass out and store in a
safe place.
Lower Light Bulb Requirements
Quantity of four clear chandelier
or candelabra bulbs with an E-12
(small) socket base, 60 Watt rat-
ing.
