Maintenance
 WARNING: Disconnect power
and heater has cooled before
attempting any maintenance or
cleaning to reduce the risk of
re, electric shock or damage
to persons.
!NOTE: The replace should
not be operated with an accumu-
lation of dust or dirt on or in the
unit, as this can cause a build up
of heat and eventual damage. For
this reason the heater must be
inspected regularly, depending
upon conditions and at least at
yearly intervals.
Light Bulb Replacement
Light bulbs need to be replaced
when you notice a dark section
of the ame or when the clar-
ity and detail of the log exterior
disappears. There are four bulbs
under the log set which generate
the ames and embers.
Helpful Hints: It is a good idea to
replace all light bulbs at one time
if they are close to the end of their
rated life. Group replacement will
reduce the number of times you
need to open the unit to replace
light bulbs. Long life bulbs are
recommended to reduce the fre-
quency of bulb changes.
Light Bulb Requirements:
Quantity of 4 clear chandelier or
candelabra bulbs with an E-12
(small) socket base, 60 Watt rat-
ing. Example: GE 60BC or Phil-
ips 60CTC. DO NOT EXCEED 60
WATTS PER BULB.
To access the light bulb area
CAUTION: Allow at least 5
minutes for light bulbs to cool off
before touching bulbs to avoid ac-
cidental burning of skin.
1. Open steel curtain (remove
glass doors if applicable).
2. Remove two screws on log
bracket and set aside
(Figure 3)
3. Pull front edge of plastic
ember bed or plastic grate up
and forward until rear tab re-
leases from the ledge located
at the bottom of the partially
reective glass (Figure 4).
Screws
Figure 3

10 www.dimplex.com
!NOTE: Log set ts tightly into
rebox, some force may be nec-
essary to remove.
4. Examine the bulbs to de-
termine which bulbs require
replacement.
5. Unscrew bulbs counter clock-
wise.
6. Insert new bulbs.
7. Replace the log by inserting
the rear tab of the logset un-
der the back ledge of the re-
place and push down on the
front edge of the logset until it
snaps into place (Figure 3).
8. Replace log grate using two
screws previously removed.
Partially Reective Glass
Cleaning
The partially reective glass is
cleaned in the factory during
the assembly operation. During
shipment, installation, handling,
etc., the partially reective glass
surface may collect dust particles.
These can be removed by bufng
lightly with a clean dry cloth.
To remove ngerprints or other
marks, the partially reective
glass can be cleaned with a damp
cloth using high quality house-
hold glass cleaner. The partially
reective glass should be com-
pletely dried with a lint free cloth.
To prevent scratching, do not use
abrasive cleaners or spray liquids
on any surface.
Fireplace Surface Cleaning
Use warm water only to clean
painted surfaces of the Compact
Fireplace. Do not use abrasive
cleaners.
Servicing
Except for light bulb replacement
and cleaning described above, an
authorized service representative
should perform any other servicing.
