of an extension cord. If an extension cord must be used,
it must be a minimum 16AWG, three wire with grounding
type plug and connector and rated not less than 2500
Watts.
A new electrical outlet can be installed inside the frame
construciton, if permitted by local codes.
Electrical outlet wiring must comply with
local building codes and other applicable
regulations to reduce the risk of fire,
electrical shock and injury to persons.

MAINTENANCE OF MOTORS
CLEANING BRASS TRIM
The motors used on the fan and the drum assembly are
prelubricated for extended bearing life and require no
further lubrication. However, periodic cleaning/vacuuming
of the fan/heater is recommended.
Clean the brass trim using a soft cloth, slightly dampened
with lemon oil and buff with a clean soft cloth. Do NOT use
brass polish or household cleaners as these products will
damage the brass trim. Lemon oil can be obtained at
supermarkets or hardware stores.
Make sure that the power is turned off
before proceeding.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The control compartment is located behind the lower louvre
panel. To access the controls, simply flip down the lower
louvre panel. To locate the position of each control described below, refer to Fig. 9.
1. MAIN ON/OFF SWITCH
The On/Off switch supplies power to all of the functions of
the fireplace. This is an illuminated switch which normally
will light up when in the "on" position.
During any service of this appliance, the
power to the unit must be turned off. It
is not acceptable to use the "On/Off"
switch to meet this requirement.
2. HEATER CONTROL
The Heater Control acts to turn the heater on and off as well
as setting the comfort level in the room. Turning the knob
clockwise from the off position will place the heater into
operation. The further the knob is rotated clockwise, the
higher the set point temperature. Turning the knob
counterclockwise will lower the set point temperature.
Turning it all the way counterclockwise will turn the heater
function off.
The Heat Hi/Lo Switch is located beside the On/Off switch.
When the Heat Hi/Lo Switch indicates the Off position the
heat is on Low (single state heat). When the Heat Hi/Lo
Switch indicates the On position the Heat is on High (full
state heat)
3. LOG ILLUMINATION CONTROL
This control varies the brightness of the light located above
the log set. Turn the knob to increase, decrease or turn off
the light as desired.
See Installation Instructions for service
details.
WARNING: Disconnect Power Before
Servicing.
WARNING: Risk of fire, keep electrical
cords, draping, and other furnishings at
least 3 feet (0.9m) from the front of the
heater.
