Maintenance and Service

Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing must be
replaced prior to operating the fi replace.

nual service by a qualifi ed service technician.
All parts listed in this manual may be ordered from an au-
thorized dealer. A list of available service parts is located in
Section 17.C of this manual and in the installation instruc-
tions included in decorative media.
