CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
There is very little maintenance involved with your electric fireplace. Please follow the few points be-
low:
On a semi-annual basis unplug the machine from it’s power source and wait for the heating ele-
ment to cool, dust the fire unit and glass face with a dry cloth. Be careful not to brush any wires
that may be exposed as you do this.
To clean the glass face of the fireplace simply use your desired glass cleaner with paper towels.
To clean the air inlets/outlets, wipe with a soft cloth or the nozzle of a vacuum cleaner
Dust can easily build up around the heater area under the appliance. Take particular care to
clean this area on a regular basis to prevent buildup.
If long time no use, please unplug the fireplace and stock it at indoor dry position.
