MAINTENANCE

  

WARNINg:

  If the fireplace was operating prior to 

servicing allow at least 10 minutes for light bulbs and 

heating elements to cool off to avoid accidental burning 

of skin.

  

WARNINg:

  Disconnect circuit power before attempt-

ing any maintenance or cleaning to reduce the risk of 

electric shock or damage to persons.

Light Bulb Replacement

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 at the top of 

the opening, which illuminate the log set exterior, and four 

bulbs under the log set which generate the flames and 

embers.

Tool Requirements:

 Philips head Screwdriver

!

  NOTE: 

 Before replacing lamps unnecessarily, ensure 

that they are not simply loose or that the brightness control 

is not adjusted to low setting (see item D in operation 

section).

Hold the glass in place while removing the retaining 

2. 

clip from the upper center of the firebox.

Lift glass out and store in a safe place.

3. 

  CAUTION:

  Even though the glass is safety glass it 

may break if bumped, struck or dropped.  Care must be 

taken when handling the glass.

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.

(small) socket base, 60 watt rating.
