J. MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Cleaning the Firebox and Control Compartment
Keep the firebox, control compartment and heater system clean. Clean by brushing and vacuuming at least once a year. To
access the control compartment, follow the instructions for replacing the light bulbs. Follow the heater maintenance instructions to
access the heater system. Failure to do this may shorten the fans life. Always disconnect power before performing any cleaning
or maintenance.
2. Cleaning the Glass Doors & Back Glass
The glass is cleaned in the factory during the assembly process. During shipment, installation, handling, etc., the glass surface
may collect dust particles. These can be removed by buffing lightly with a clean dry cloth.
To remove fingerprints or other marks, the glass can be cleaned with a damp cloth using a good quality household glass cleaner.
The glass should be completely dried with a lint free cloth or paper towel.
In the event of glass breakage, vacuum all remaining glass pieces with a shop vac. DO NOT VACUUM IF PIECES ARE HOT!
Replace glass only with a glass panel ordered direct or through your local distributor. Never use substitute material. Only fully
tempered soda lime safety glass may be used on this appliance.
WARNING!
To avoid accidental burning of the skin, allow
at least five minutes for the light bulbs to cool
before touching them.
3. Replacing the Light Bulbs
The light bulbs will need to be replaced when the flame
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. To order online,
log onto www.lite-house.com or call 1-800-838-0977.
