risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:  
1. Read all instructions before using this heater (Compact Fireplace).  
2. This heater (Compact Fireplace) is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot  
surfaces. The trim around the heater outlet becomes hot during heater operation. Keep  
combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and curtains at least 3  
feet (0.9m) from the front of the heater and keep them away from the sides and rear.  
3. Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children or invalids and whenever  
the unit is left operating and unattended.

blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does  
not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install  
the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Avoid the use of an extension cord.

but not essential in all cases. A dedicated circuit will be required if, after installation, the circuit  
breaker trips or fuse blows on a regular basis when the heater is operating. Additional  
appliances on the same circuit may exceed the current rating of the circuit breaker.

that the power cord is stored or secured to avoid tripping or snagging to reduce the risk of fire,  
electric shock or injury to persons.  
Construction and electrical outlet wiring must comply with local building codes and other  
applicable regulations to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons.  
Do not attempt to wire your own new outlets or circuits. To reduce the risk of fire, electric  
shock or injury to persons, always use a licensed electrician.

MAINTENANCE  
WARNING  
Disconnect power before attempting any maintenance or cleaning to reduce the risk of fire,  
electric shock or damage to persons.  
LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT  
Allow at least 5 minutes for light bulbs to cool off before touching bulbs to avoid accidental  
burning of skin.  
Light bulbs need to be replaced when you notice a dark section of the flame or when the clarity  
and detail of the log exterior disappears. There are two bulbs under the log set which generate  
the flames and embers.  
TO REPLACE THE LIGHT BULBS  
1. Unplug the unit from power outlet.  
2. On the back of the Compact Fireplace remove the screws from the light access cover.  
3. Remove the light access cover.  
4. Reach into the opening, locate and examine the bulbs to determine which bulb(s) require  
replacement.  
5. Unscrew the bulb(s) counter clockwise.  
6. Insert new bulb(s).  
7. Install the light access cover and install the screws.

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.  
BULB REQUIREMENTS  
Quantity of 2 clear chandelier or candelabra bulbs with an J-12 (small) socket base, 60 watt  
rating. Example GE 60BC or Philips 60 CTC.
