HEARTH ASSEMBLY 

 

Before operating the appliance the lamp bulbs must be inspected and lava 

rock treatments, if desired, may be added as follows: 

 

1.  Lift the log bed off the hearth base to gain access to the lamp fixtures, 

(the log bed is attached with contact magnets only). 

 

2. Turn the power on to the light circuit and check that all bulbs are 

operating. The Red bulb is placed in the left most fixture and the Yellow 

and Orange follow in that order. See 

Figure 10

 

NOTE:

 If any bulbs need replacing, see 

Replacing Light Bulbs,

 page

 13

. Be 

careful not to tear or damage the reflective strips. If they have come loose, 

the ends can be easily reattached or replaced at the support brackets. See - 

Replacing Reflecting Ribbons

, page 

18

 

4.  Center the log bed over the opening and in between the screen and grate. 

 

5.  Cover the remaining hearth area with a ¼” layer of lava rock provided. 

 

 

PRODUCT FEATURES AND CONTROL OPERATION 

 

Models 

(V)E36/32L

 series electronic fireplaces feature a random flame 

effect, and realistic log bed with glistening embers that can be adjusted for 

flame speed and light intensity. 

 

Models 

(V)E36/32LH 

have an added circulating heater, rated at 1100 W. 

 

In addition to a heater, the models 

E36/32LB

 and 

E36/32LBH

 include a 

hand detailed, textured red-brick lining (Models 

VE36/32LB

 and 

VE36/32LBH 

come standard with natural white brick). 

 

The controls can be accessed by pulling on the top outer edges of the 

uppermost louver until the panel releases from the magnetic catches on each 

side and swings down to the open position. See 

Figure 11

  

Figure 12 

shows the control layout for heater equipped models with the 

main power switch to the flame controls and the heater power switch (when 

equipped) to the heating unit. This allows independent and efficient 

operation of both features. 

 

Once main power is turned on, flame speed and brightness may be turned 

on and adjusted independently. 

 

A slow flame speed creates a soothing appearance of a romantic fire while a 

high flame speed invites the presence of a warm roaring fire. 

 

The flame brightness may be adjusted to accommodate a particular mood or 

lighting situation within the room.
