10 Maintenance and Service

A. Cleaning the Firebox and Control Compart- ment

Keep the firebox, control compartment and heater system clean. Clean by brushing and vacuuming at least once a year. To access the control compartment, follow the instruc- tions for replacing the light bulbs. Follow the heater system maintenance instructions to access the heater system. Fail- ure to do this may shorten the fan’s life. Always disconnect power before performing any cleaning or maintenance.

B. Cleaning the Glass Doors and Back Acrylic Panel

The acrylic panel is cleaned in the factory during the assem- bly process. During shipment, installation, handling, etc., the acrylic panel surface may collect dust particles. These can be removed by buffing lightly with a clean dry cloth.

To remove fingerprints or other marks, the acrylic panel can be cleaned with a damp cloth using a mild soap and water solution. DO NOT USE GLASS CLEANER! IT WILL RUIN THE ACRYLIC PANEL! The acrylic panel should be com- pletely dried with a lint free cloth or paper towel.

In the event of acrylic panel breakage, vacuum all remain- ing pieces with a shop vac. DO NOT VACUUM IF PIECES ARE HOT! Replace acrylic panel with a panel ordered direct or through your local distributor only. Never use substitute material.

C. Replacing the Light Bulbs

The light bulbs will need to be replaced when the flame and/ or ember bed is dark on one side. Replace the bulbs with 75 watt halogen bulbs with mini-candelabra base. Do not exceed 75 watts per bulb. Light bulbs can be purchased at local hardware, lighting stores, online or by phone. Sylvania model 75Q/CL/MC/RP or Satco model S3157 are recom- mended.

•Turn off circuit breaker or unplug heater before replacing the light bulbs.

•Open the lower grille panel to view the dashboard on the heater (the lower grille may need to be removed).

•Remove the four outer screws. See Figure 10.1.

•Pull dashboard towards you to expose the light compartment (the light compartment does not need to be pulled all of the way out of the heater).
