Maintenance

• Ventilation: Keep the air intake and exhaust vents clear of dust and debris to ensure proper airflow and prevent overheating.
• Light Bulbs: The flame effect uses LED technology, which typically does not require replacement.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Dreamflame electric fireplace, please refer to the following common solutions:

• No Power: Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the circuit breaker is not tripped.
• No Heat: Verify that the heat function is activated and the temperature setting is above the ambient room temperature. Check for any obstructions in the air vents.
• Remote Control Not Working: Replace the AAA batteries in the remote control. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the fireplace's sensor.
• Automatic Shutdown: If the unit shuts off unexpectedly, it may be due to the overheating protection system. Unplug the unit, wait 10-15 minutes for it to cool down, and ensure all vents are clear before plugging it back in.
