Maintenance
• Clean the metal trim using a water-dampened soft, clean cloth. DO NOT use brass
polish or household cleaners as these products will damage the metal trim.
• The motors used on the fan and the flame generator assembly are pre-lubricated
for extended bearing life and require no further lubrication. However, periodic
cleaning/vacuuming of the fan/heater and air intake/output vents is recommended.
The heater should be cleaned and inspected regularly, depending on conditions,
and at least at yearly intervals.
WARNING:
Any electrical repairs of this unit should be carried out by a licensed
electrician in accordance with national and local codes.
WARNING:
Disconnect power by unplugging the power and allowing heater to
cool before attempting any maintenance or cleaning to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury.

When the heater is not in use, the heater should be stored in a dry
location, away from possible damage. The power cord should be stored properly
to avoid contact with hot or sharp objects.
