B. Clean the Firebox Compartment
Use the brush attachment and gently vacuum the compart-
ment.
C. Clean the Back Glass
• The glass is cleaned in the factory during the assembly
process. During shipment, installation, handling, etc., the
glass surface may collect dust particles. These can be
removed by buffing lightly with a clean dry cloth.
• To remove fingerprints or other marks, the glass can be
cleaned with a damp cloth using a mild soap and water
solution. DO NOT USE GLASS CLEANER! IT WILL
DAMAGE THE BACK GLASS. The glass should be
completely dried with a lint free cloth or paper towel.
• In the event of glass breakage, vacuum all remaining glass
pieces with a shop vac. DO NOT VACUUM IF PIECES
ARE HOT! Replace the glass with a Quadra-Fire glass
panel ordered direct or through your local distributor.
Never use substitute material.
D. Replace the Light Bulbs
The light bulbs need to be replaced when the flame and/or
ember bed is dark on one side. Replace the bulbs with 75
watt halogen bulbs with mini-candelabra base. Do not
exceed 75 watts per bulb. Light bulbs can be purchased at
a local hardware or lighting store, on-line or by phone. To or-
der on-line, log onto www.lite-house.com or call 1-800-838-
