Electrical Connection
A 15 Amp, 120 Volt, 60 Hz circuit with a properly grounded outlet is required.
Preferably, the fireplace will be on a dedicated circuit as other appliances on the same circuit may cause the circuit breaker to trip or the fuse to blow when the heater is in operation. The unit comes standard with a 6 ft. (1.8 m) long, three-wire cord, exiting the right side of the fireplace. Always plug the unit into a wall outlet/receptacle. An extension cord or re-locatable power tap, (outlet/power strip), should never be used.
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.
Do not use this fireplace if any part of it has been underwater. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the fireplace and replace any part of the electrical system which has been under water.
Grounding Instructions
This heater is for use on 120 volts. The cord has a plug as shown at (A) in figure 1. An adaptor as shown at (C) is available for connecting three-blade grounding-type plugs to two-slot receptacles. The green grounding lug extending from the adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.
The adaptor should not be used if a three-slot grounded receptacle is available.Comfort Glow EQS5140 Sanibel 20 in. Infrared Electric Stove -

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning
Always turn the heater 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.
Glass Information (some models)

  1. Under no circumstances should this product be operated with broken glass.
  2. Do not strike or slam the glass.
  3. Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean the glass.
  4. This product uses tempered glass. Replacement of the glass supplied by the manufacturer should be done by a qualified service person.

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.
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.Comfort Glow EQS5140
Sanibel 20 in. Infrared Electric Stove - Light bulbs

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
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 airflow. 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.
