Servicing Flame Pennants
If the flame pennants should become tangled or detached they may be reattaching or replacing as follows:
1.Locate the affected flame pennant and slip the hem at the base of the flame pennant over the proper hanger bracket position. See Figure 38 for proper location.
2.Pull the flame cord up to the proper hook location, use a slip knot to adjust the cord length and attach the cord to the hook. See Figure 38 for proper cord length.
3.Tie another knot over the slip knot and trim away access cord.
Note: The flame pennant should not be twisted or tangled and should hang slightly loose to allow free movement. If the cord is too short or the pennant is torn you must obtain a replacement flame assembly, See Replacement Parts, page 19.
4.After connecting and adjusting the flame cords, soak each knot with a drop of white wood glue or clear nail polish to prevent them from unraveling.
Replacing Lamp Fixtures
Lamp fixtures may be replaced as follows:
1.Turn off all power to the appliance at the circuit breaker or fuse.
2.Locate any of 3 defective lamp fixtures and trace the wiring to the crimp connections. See Figure 39.
3.Remove the 2 crimp connectors in the harness and disconnect the white and black wires on the defective fixture. See Wiring Diagram, Figure 28, page 12 for proper locations.
4.Remove the 2 Phillips screws at the base of the defective fixture (see Figure 39).
5.Remove the old fixture and remount the new fixture with the 2 Phillips screws removed prior.
6.Twist the bare ends of the white and black wires to the corresponding wires in the main harness and secure them with the 2 crimp connectors provided.
Note: There should be no exposed bare wire at any connection. Wiring should be secured with wire ties, as short as possible and kept away from the fan blades. If additional parts are required, see Replacement Parts, page 19.
6.Replace each light bulb with the proper color, see Replacing Light Bulbs, page 13.
7.Restore power and check the lamp circuit operation, before reassembling the imaging unit.
8.Reassemble the imager. See Accessing Imaging Unit, page 15.
