Care and Maintenance

Care and maintenance

  • The fan and flame generator motors are pre-lubricated for extended bearing life and require no further lubrication. However, we recommend periodic cleaning/vacuuming of the fan/fireplace.
  • Buff the trim using a soft cloth slightly dampened with a citrus oil-based product (available at supermarkets and hardware stores). DO NOT use brass polish or household cleaners. These products will damage the metal trim.
  • Make sure the unit is turned OFF and unplugged, and the heating element of the heater is cool before cleaning the fireplace. Any other servicing should be performed by qualified service personnel.
