Maintenance and Service

Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing must be
replaced prior to operating the fireplace.
When properly maintained, your fireplace will give you
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.
