Replacing Reflective Ribbons
If reflective ribbons become damaged or loose they may be replaced as follows:
1.Turn off all power to fireplace at circuit breaker or fuse.
2.Locate defective ribbon; there are 3 strips mounted on rear cabinet and 3 mounted in base (see Figure 39, page 20).
3.If upper back cabinet ribbons need re- placing, remove 4 Phillips screws holding corresponding bottom and top hanger brackets (see Figure 39, page 20).
4.Remove any loose or damaged ribbon material.
5.Cut an 18” strip of reflective ribbon and position top end about an inch above top bracket position (see Figure 39, page 20).
Note: Ribbon material should be ap- plied with reflective side up, should not be twisted or tangled, and should hang slightly loose to allow free movement. If additional parts are required, see Re- placement Parts, page 22.
6.Replace top hanger bracket using 2 Phil- lips screws removed in step 2 and tighten until reflective ribbon is held in place.
7.Replace bottom hanger bracket using 2 remaining Phillips screws to secure lower end of reflective ribbon.
8.If replacing reflective ribbons located in base, remove screws and washers at damaged ends of ribbon.
9.Cut a 9" long strip of ribbon and apply across each ribbon support bracket with shiny side facing up (see Figure 39, page 20).
10.Secure ribbon to brackets by replacing each washer at end of the ribbon and re- threading screws through the ribbon into each hole located on support brackets.
11.If replacing top reflective ribbons on base cover, cut a 3" section of ribbon and split down the middle. With shiny side up, attach with cellophane tape into rear edge of base cover opening (see Figure 39, page 20).
12.Readjust flame pennants (if removed). See Servicing Flame Pennants, page 18.
13.Reassemble imager. See Accessing
Imaging Unit, page 17.
14.Center log bed over opening between viewing panel screen and grate.
15.Cover remaining hearth area with 1/4" of lava rock (provided), if desired.
Cleaning Viewing Screen
Clean viewing screen with an alcohol based, nonabrasive, residue free cleaner (premoist- ened hand wipes are ideal). Do not use glass cleaners with ammonium, abrasive scrubs or degreaser solvents of any kind.
