WARNING: Electrical outlet wiring must comply with local building codes and other applicable regulations to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

NOTE: A 13Amp (EU) or 10 Amp(AU/ NZ) circuit is required. A dedicated circuit is preferred, but not essential in all cases. A dedicated circuit will be required if, after installation, the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows on a regular basis when the heater is operating. Additional appliances on the same circuit may exceed the current rating of the circuit breaker.

Unpacking the Unit

The unit comes packed with a protective sheet covering the front of the unit. This sheet is intended to prevent dust and debris from entering during construction. This sheet is designed so that it can be partially removed to complete the wiring and unpacking and can be reinstalled until the final installation is complete.

The log set was installed on the grate and the grate permanently fixed to the firebox at the factory.

Carefully remove the packaging from around the log set. Make sure the wires from the log set are connected securely to the grate box.

CAUTION: The Realogs™ contain LEDs to create a unique pulse and glow effect. Handle the log set carefully. They are fragile and can crack or break if dropped.

Maintenance

General Maintenance

Inspect the built-in electric firebox regularly, depending upon conditions, and at a minimum yearly intervals. Remove dust and clean the logs, grate, and base as required.

WARNING: Disconnect power and allow heater to cool before attempting any maintenance or cleaning to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury.

CAUTION: Except for installation and cleaning described in this manual, an authorized service representative should perform any other servicing.

Clean Logs and Base

The built-in electric firebox set should not be operated with an accumulation of dust or dirt on or in the firebox, as this can cause a build up of heat and eventual damage.

Dust and vacuum the firebox as needed. Use a damp cloth and a mild detergent to clean painted surfaces of the builtin electric firebox. Never use abrasive cleaners.

Clean Reflector Screen

The reflector screen is cleaned in the factory during the assembly operation. During shipment, installation, handling, etc., the screen may collect dust particles; these can be removed by dusting lightly with a clean dry cloth.

To remove fingerprints or other marks, clean the reflector screen damp cloth. Never use abrasive cleaners. Dry the screen completely with a lint free cloth to prevent water spots.
