Maintenance
WARNING:
Disconnect power
before attempting any main-
tenance or cleaning to reduce
the risk of fire, electric shock
or damage to persons.
!
NOTE:
The fireplace should
not be operated with an accumu-
lation of dust or dirt on or in the
unit, as this can cause a build up
of heat and eventual damage. For
this reason the heater must be
inspected regularly, depending
upon conditions and at least at
yearly intervals.
Light Bulb Replacement
!
NOTE:
Light bulbs need to be
replaced when you notice a dark
section of the flame or when the
clarity and detail of the log ember
bed exterior disappears. There
are three bulbs under the log set,
which generate the flames and
embers, and two bulbs above the
log that illuminate the log exterior.
Lower Light Bulb Requirements
Quantity of three clear chandelier
or candelabra bulbs with an E-12
(small) socket base, 60 Watt rat-
ing. Example: GE 60BC or Philips
60 CTC.
Do not exceed 60
Watts per bulb

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. Care must be taken
when removing the logset as the
logset contains LED’s and wires.
To access the lower light bulb
area (Figure 5):
CAUTION:
Allow at least
five minutes for light bulbs to cool
before touching bulbs to avoid ac-
cidental burning of skin.
1. Remove front glass assembly.
2. Pull the front edge of the plas-
tic ember bed or plastic grate
up and forward until the rear
tab releases from the ledge
located at the bottom of the
