ii)  Properly orientate replacement Cutout and attach to 

Heater Assembly with screw from step 4.

Cutout (one (1) from the Remote Receiver board, and 

one (1) from the Heater Element with a piggy-back to 

the Motor), noting their original locations.

iv)  Referring to Figure 14, connect the new Cutout’s two 

(2) wires to the Remote Receiver board and Heater 

Element and Motor.

 

v)  Follow steps 1 through 3 in reverse order to re-

assemble firebox.

5.  To replace Heater Assembly:
 

i)  Remove the one (1) small Phillips screw that attaches 

the Cutout to the Heater Assembly as shown in 

Figure 13 and stow Cutout safely aside.

 

ii)  Remove the Phillips retaining screw using a short 

handled driver.  This will release the Heater Assembly 

from the firebox (Figure 13).

 

iii)  With Heater Assembly in hand, remove the two (2) 

mounting brackets and element baffle.  Two (2) 

Phillips screws hold each mounting bracket to the 

Heater Assembly and four (4) screws attach the baffle 

to the element (2 on top and 2 from underneath).

 

iv)  Using screws removed in step iii, attach mounting 

brackets and baffle to replacement Heater Assembly.

 

v)  Disconnect one of the wire leads from the defective 

Heater Assembly (which are still connected to itself 

and the Remote Receiver board) and immediately 

connect it to the new Heater Assembly’s terminal, 

matching its position.  Continue with the remaining 

wires using the same procedure (refer to Figure 14).

  CAUTION:  

Internal wiring and colors may not be the 

same within the unit being serviced as those shown.  To  

avoid damage to the unit, damage to property or personal 

injury, ensure wires are reconnected to match their 

original locations.

 

vi)  Properly orientate replacement Heater Assembly 

into top of firebox and re-attach to the chassis using 

screw removed in step i. 

 

vii) Re-attach Cutout to replacement Heater Assembly 

using small Phillips screw removed in step 1.

 

viii) Follow steps 1 through 3 to re-assemble firebox.

Power Cord 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.  Remove the 14 screws that attach the top panel to the 

firebox.  There are: one (1) screw on either side of the

(8) on the top panel (Figure 11, page 11).

3.  Remove top panel and Purifire™ filter (lift filter straight up 

and out of firebox).

4.  Lay unit on it’s back for safe removal of Front Glass.
5,  Remove four (4) Phillips screws from the right side of
