Maintenance

General Maintenance
Inspect the log set regularly, depending upon conditions, and at a minimum yearly intervals. Remove dust and clean the logs, mat, grate, and base as required.
Except for installation and cleaning described in this manu­al, an authorized service representative should perform any other servicing.
WARNING: Disconnect power and allow heater to cool before attempting any maintenance or cleaning to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury.
Clean Logs and Base
The log set should not be operated with an accumulation of dust or dirt on or in the unit, as this can cause a build up of heat and eventual damage.
Dust and vacuum the log set as needed. Use a damp cloth and a mild detergent to clean painted surfaces of the fire­place. Never use abrasive cleaners.
Clean Mirage™ Flame Panel
The Mirage™ Flame Panel is cleaned in the factory during the 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.
To remove fingerprints or other marks, clean the Mirage™ Flame Panel reflector screen with a damp cloth. Never use abrasive cleaners. Dry the screen completely with a lint free cloth to prevent water spots.
Battery Replacement
To replace the battery:
1. Push the release tab toward the center and slide the
battery cover open.
2. Install 3V Lithium battery in the battery holder. The
positive (+) side of the battery faces up.
3. Close the battery cover.
