Replacing the Light Bulbs

Replacing the Light Bulbs

Depending on your model, the fireplace uses two (2) or three (3) clear 120 Volt, 60 Watt, E-12 socket base light bulbs (small base, chandelier candle type). The lights are located under the ember bed of the unit. For convenience, if one of the light bulbs burns out, it may be easier to replace all of the light bulbs at the same time.

Do not exceed 60 Watts per bulb. Use of higher rated bulbs may result in a fire, causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

1.Turn off power to the unit.

2.Let fireplace cool if it has been operating.

3.Remove fixed front panel, or open doors (depend- ing on model).

4.Locate two (2) screws that hold the refractory (brick patterned) bracket together with the ember bed. (Fig. 5) (Not applicable to HEF22)

5.Remove those two (2) screws using an appropriate screwdriver. One screw is located on either side of the unit.

11.Reposition the refractory bracket, aligning the refractory in place as required.

12.Replace two (2) screws taken out in Step 5, by using an appropriate screwdriver.

Maintenance of Motors

The motors used on the fan and the drum assembly are prelubricated for extended bearing life and require no further lubrication. However, periodic cleaning/vacu- uming of the fan/heater is recommended.

Make sure the power is turned OFF before proceeding.

Cleaning

Cleaning of the touchpad label at the bottom front of the unit is to be done only using a soft cloth, slightly dampened in water (if needed, a small amount of dish soap can be added to the water) and dried using a clean, dry soft cloth. DO NOT use any abrasive house- hold cleaners as these products will damage the touchpad controls.
