Maintenance
General Maintenance
Inspect the log set regularly, depending upon conditions,
and at a minimum yearly intervals. Remove dust and clean
the logs, mat, grate, and base as required.
Except for installation and cleaning described in this manu-
al, an authorized service representative should perform any
other servicing.
WARNING: Disconnect power and allow heater to cool
before attempting any maintenance or cleaning to reduce
the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury.
Clean Logs and Base
The log set should not be operated with an accumulation of
dust or dirt on or in the unit, as this can cause a build up of
heat and eventual damage.
Dust and vacuum the log set as needed. Use a damp cloth
and a mild detergent to clean painted surfaces of the fire-
place. Never use abrasive cleaners.
Clean Mirage™ Flame Panel
The Mirage™ Flame Panel is cleaned in the factory during
the assembly operation. During shipment, installation, han-
dling, 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 Mirage™
Flame Panel reflector screen with a damp cloth. Never use
abrasive cleaners. Dry the screen completely with a lint free
cloth to prevent water spots.
Battery Replacement
To replace the battery:
1. Push the release tab toward the center and slide the
battery cover open.
2. Install 3V Lithium battery in the battery holder. The
positive (+) side of the battery faces up.
3. Close the battery cover.
