MAINTENANCE

General Maintenance

Inspect the built-in electric rebox regularly, depending

upon conditions, and at a minimum yearly intervals. Remove dust and clean the logs, grate, and base as required.

WARNING: Disconnect power and allow heater to cool

Dust and vacuum the rebox as needed. Use a damp cloth

and a mild detergent to clean painted surfaces of the built-

in electric rebox. Never use abrasive cleaners.

CleanReectorScreen

assembly operation. During shipment, installation, handling, etc., the screen may collect dust particles; these can be removed by dusting lightly with a clean dry cloth.

screen damp cloth. Never use abrasive cleaners. Dry the screen completely with a lint free cloth to prevent water spots.
