MAINTENANCE OF MOTORS

•  The motors used on the fan and the flame generator assembly are pre-lubricated for extended 

  bearing life and require no further lubrication. However, we recommend periodic cleaning/vacuuming 

  of the fan/heater 

•  Make sure the unit is turned OFF and unplugged whenever you are cleaning the heater or fireplace.        

WARNING:

 Make sure the power is turned off before proceeding. Any electrical repairs 

or rewiring of this unit should be carried out by a licensed electrician in accordance with

national and local codes. 

If repairing or replacing any electrical component or wiring, the original wire routing, 

color coding and securing locations must be followed. 

WARNING:

 Electrical outlet wiring must comply with local building codes and other 

applicable regulations to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock and injury to persons.

WARNING:

  Do not use this fireplace if any part of it has been under water.  Immediately 

call a qualified service technician to inspect the fireplace and replace any part of the 

electrical system.

WARNING:

  Disconnect power before attempting any maintenance or cleaning to reduce 

the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury.
