QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE FOR THE ELECTRIC
FIREPLACE

1. Prior to the first use of the fireplace verify the following:

• Are the circuit breakers for the fireplace on?

• Are the light bulbs in your fireplace loose? (to check, follow the

instructions for replacing the light bulbs under the maintenance
section of this manual)

2. The heater on your fireplace may emit a slight, harmless odor when
first used. This odor is a normal condition caused by the initial
heating of internal heater parts and will not occur again.

3. If your heater does not emit heat, ensure the large switch is on, the
wall thermostat is set above the current room temperature and any
wall switches for the unit are on. If this does not work, switch the unit
off for 5 minutes and try again. Consult operation section of your
practical users guide for further information.

4. The information regarding the model of your fireplace can be found
on the rating plate located under the logs in the lighting area.
