Servicing Flame Pennants
If the flame pennants should become tangled or detached they may
be reattaching or replacing as follows:
1. Locate the affected flame pennant and slip the hem at the base
of the flame pennant over the proper hanger bracket position.
See
Figure 38
for proper location.
2. Pull the flame cord up to the proper hook location, use a slip
knot to adjust the cord length and attach the cord to the hook.
See
Figure 38
for proper cord length.
3. Tie another knot over the slip knot and trim away access cord.
Note
: The flame pennant should not be twisted or tangled and
should hang slightly loose to allow free movement. If the cord is
too short or the pennant is torn you must obtain a replacement
flame assembly, See
Replacement Parts
, page
19
.
4. After connecting and adjusting the flame cords, soak each knot
with a drop of white wood glue or clear nail polish to prevent
them from unraveling.
Replacing Lamp Fixtures
Lamp fixtures may be replaced as follows:
1. Turn off all power to the appliance at the circuit breaker or fuse.
2. Locate any of 3 defective lamp fixtures and trace the wiring to
the crimp connections. See

the
white

Phillips screws removed prior.
6. Twist the bare ends of the
white
and
black
wires to the
corresponding wires in the main harness and secure them with
the 2 crimp connectors provided.
Note
: There should be no exposed bare wire at any connection.
