Resetting the
Temperature Cutout Switch
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
and personal injury, before attempting
maintenance or service, disconnect all
power to the fireplace at the main service
panel.
NOTE: The heater on this fireplace is protected with
a safety limit device to prevent overheating. Should
the heater overheat, an automatic cutout turns the
