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, periodic
cleaning/vacuuming of the fan/heater unit is recommended. The louvers/vent in the control door should
be cleaned periodically, both inside and out. When the
control door is in the open position the heater
grill/screen should be vacuumed. The area around the
controls should also be kept clean. 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.
Keep electrical cords, drapery, furniture and other
combustibles at least 3 feet(0.9M) from the front of
the heater and away from the sides.
REPLACING THE LIGHT
BULBS
This fireplace uses (3) clear 120V, 40 Watt E12 Socket
base light bulbs (open small base, chandelier candle
type). The 18E01 insert only requires (2) clear 120V,
40 Watt E12 Scoket bulbs, installed in a pull-out tray
accessable once the kickplate has been removed. The

burns out, it is a good idea to replace all of the bulbs
at the same time.

the power cord from the wall.
2.) If fireplace has been operating, let the unit cool at
least 2 hours.
3.) Loosen the 2 screws recessed in the front kick plate
(see illustration below). Gently pull the kick plate
towards you (careful not to scratch the fireplace
hearth/base).
4.) Remove light bulbs and replace with (3) clear 120V,
40 Watt E12 Socket base light bulbs, (2) bulbs for
18E01 Insert, via pull-out tray.
5.) Slide kick plate back into position and tighten
recessed screws. (Careful not to over tighten).
WARNING: Do not exceed 40 Watts per
bulb. Use of higher rated bulbs may
result in a fire, causing property damage or personal injury.
