OPERATION
This section will explain the function of each convent control.
To access the controls, open the upper grill by pulling near the top, forward
and down.
A. MAIN ON/OFF SWITCH
The on/off switch supplies power to all fireplace functions (heater & flame).
B. FLAME SPEED CONTROL (not available on some models)
Turn the flame speed control knob to adjust the flame speed to the desired
level.
C. FLAME LIGHT DIMMER CONTROL
Turn the flame brightness control to increase or decrease the brightness
of the flame and embers.
D. HEATER ON/OFF SWITCH
The heater on/off switch supplies power to the heating unit when the main
on/off switch (A) is in the on position.
E. HEATER THERMOSTAT CONTROL
To adjust the temperature to your individual requirements, turn the
thermostat control clockwise all the way to turn in the heater. When the
room reaches the desired temperature, turn the thermostat knob counter
clockwise until you hear a click. Leave in this position to maintain the
room temperature at its setting. For additional heat, turn clockwise until
you hear the click again and the heater will turn on. To turn the heater off,
rotate the knob fully counter clockwise.
RESETTING THE TEMPERATURE CUTOFF
This unit is equipped with a thermostat which controls the temperature of
the room. It does this by turning the heater on and off. The heater is
protected with a safety device to prevent overheating. Should the heater
overheat, an automatic cut out will turn the heater off and it will not come
back on without being reset. It can be reset by switching the ON/OFF
SWITCH to OFF and waiting 5 minutes before switching the unit back on.
CAUTION
If you need to continuously reset the heater, unplug the unit and call your
local dealer.

If unit was operating prior to servicing allow at least 10 minutes for light bulbs and
heating element to cool off to avoid accidental burning of skin.
Disconnect power before attempting any maintenance or cleaning to reduce the
risk of electric shock or damage to persons.
Light bulbs need to be replaced when you notice a dark section of the flame or
when the clarity and detail of the log exterior disappears. There are two bulbs at
the top of the opening that illuminates the log set exterior and four bulbs under
the log set which generate the flames and embers.
It is a good idea to replace all of the light bulbs at one time if they are close to the
end of their rated life. Group replacement will reduce the number of times you
need to open the unit to replace the light bulbs.
TO REPLACE UPPER LIGHT BULBS
1. Remove the firebox trim by placing your hand on the grill section, grasping
the trim and pulling outwards releasing the retainer clips.
2. Remove the mounting screw in the center of the glass and remove the
retainer bracket.
3. Remove the glass by lifting up from the bottom.
CAUTION: Even though the glass is safety glass it may break if bumped,
struck of dropped. Care must be taken when handling the glass.
4. Locate upper bulbs inside the center of the firebox at the top.
5. Replace bulb(s) that require replacement, holding onto the light socket
when while unscrewing.
6. Reassemble in the reverse order as above.
