NOTE:

  If mounting studs are cut, replacement mounting 

studs will need to be inserted from underneath ember 

bed.  Follow steps 1 - 5 of Mirror Replacement procedure 

on Page 8 to do this.  It is recommended to attempt to 

release the control board without cutting mounting studs.

8.  Clear both ends of each cut mounting stud from the 

control board and the support panel - new mounting 

studs are supplied with the replacement part.  

9.  Properly orientate the new potentiometer and control 

 

board and re-connect all of the wiring connections.

10. Reassemble in the reverse order as above.

Flame Action Control Replacement

If the fireplace was operating prior to servicing allow at least 

10 minutes for light bulbs and heating element to cool off to 

avoid accidental burning of skin.
Disconnect power before attempting any maintenance or 

cleaning to reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to 

persons.

Replacement Procedure:

1.  Remove the firebox from the mantel.

2.  Lay unit on its back.
3.  Remove the 12 Philips screws that fasten the bottom 

cover to the rest of the firebox.  There are:  two (2) 

screws on each side; two (2) screws on the back panel 

(you may have to tip the bottom of the fireplace up 

if it is laying on its back), four (4) screws in the front 

directly under the control panel; and two (2) screws on 

the bottom of the fireplace (see Figure 7, Page 8).  The 

bottom panel is now free to be removed.

4.  Locate the Flame Action Control mounted on the left 

 

hand side (Figure 11).

5.  Remove the white and blue wire leads from the bottom, 

left corner of the control board and feed the wires 

underneath the Flame Action and Light Dimmer Control 

boards as shown in Figure 11.

6.  Pull off the Flame Action Control knob and unscrew 

 

the retaining nut (Figure 11).  The potentiometer can  

now be removed from the panel by pushing the  

potentiometer through the front of the panel and 

 

removed from inside the cabinet.

7.  The Flame Action Control board is fastened to the 

 

underside of the ember bed support by four (4) 

 

mounting studs, one in each corner (Figure 11).  Either 

squeeze each mounting stud’s clasp to release, or use 

side cutters to cut and remove each of the four corner 

 

mounting studs on the board.
