Light Bulb Replacement
Allow at least five (5) minutes for the light bulbs to cool
before touching them to avoid accidental burning of the skin.
The 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 reduces. There are three (3) bulbs
under the Log Set Assembly, which generate the flames
and embers, and two (2) bulbs above that illuminate the log
exterior.
It is a good idea to replace all of the light bulbs at one time

replacement will reduce the number of times you need to
open the unit to replace the light bulbs.
