A. Cleaning the Firebox and Control Compart-
ment
Keep the fi rebox, 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 Back Acrylic Panel
The acrylic panel is cleaned in the factory during the as-
sembly process. During shipment, installation, handling,
etc., the surface may collect dust particles. These can be
removed by buffi ng lightly with a clean dry cloth.
To remove fi ngerprints 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.
C. Replacing the Light Bulbs
The light bulbs will need to be replaced when the fl ame 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.

the light bulbs.

compartment (the light compartment does not need to be
pulled all of the way out of the heater).
