CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Always turn the stove OFF and unplug the power cord from the outlet before cleaning. Use a vacuum
or duster to remove dust and dirt from the heater and vent areas. To maintain the finish, clean with a
soft, slightly damp cloth and buff with a dry cloth. Never use abrasive cleansers, liquid sprays, or any
cleaner that could scratch the surface.
Never drag the unit across a floor. The added stress from dragging the unit may cause the legs to
break.
Light Bulb Inspection and Replacement
The flame effect is created by two 40-watt light bulbs with an E-12 (small) socket base. Use only this
type of light bulb. If the flame effect does not work, the bulbs may have come loose or been damaged
during shipping.
WARNING: Light bulbs become very hot during use. Allow at least 10 minutes for the
bulbs to cool before touching.
To inspect or replace the bulbs, first unplug the power cord from the outlet. Locate the access panel
on the back of the stove. Remove the screws and the panel. Check the bulbs to be sure they are
finger tight and in working order. Replace any damaged or faulty bulbs. Reattach the access panel.
Do not operate this heater without the access panel in place. Do not remove the back cover of this
heater. There are no serviceable parts inside.
WARNING: Do not exceed 40 watts per bulb. Use of higher-rated
bulbs may result in a fire, causing property damage or personal injury.
Maintenance of Motors
WARNING: Always disconnect the appliance from the main power supply and allow it to cool
before any servicing operation.
The motors used on the fan heater and flame effect are pre-lubricated for extended bearing life and
require no further lubrication. However, periodic cleaning/vacuuming of the appliance around the air
intake and exhaust as well as the fan heater is recommended. For heavy or continuous use, periodic
cleaning must be done more frequently. If the heater blows alternating cold and warm air, check the
fan for free movement and for debris restricting air flow. If the fan does not move freely, the unit must
be turned off and the fan replaced immediately in order to prevent further damage to the unit.
