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. There are 2 bulbs
under the media tray, which gen-
erate the flames.
Light Bulb Requirements
Quantity of two clear chandelier
or candelabra bulbs with an E-12
(small) socket base, 60 Watt
rating. Example: GE 60BC or
Philips 60 CTC. Do not exceed
60 Watts per bulb.
Helpful Hints: It is a good idea
to replace both light bulbs at one
time if they are close to the end
of their rated life. Group replace-
ment will reduce the number of
times you need to open the unit to
replace light bulbs. Care must be
taken when removing the media
tray.
Replacing the Light Bulbs:
CAUTION: Allow at least five
minutes for light bulbs to cool
before touching bulbs to avoid ac-
cidental burning of skin.
1. Carefully remove the front
glass assembly. Be aware
that some of the glass media
may fall out of the tray (Figure
7).
2. Empty the tray of glass me-
dia.
CAUTION: Handle glass me-
dia with care as some pieces may
have sharp edges.
3. Lift the tray up and remove
from firebox.
