To Replace Light Bulbs - Dimplex OPTIFLAME BF Series Parts & Service Manual

OPTIFLAME ELECTRIC FIREPLACE
If unit 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.
Disconnect power before attempting any maintenance or cleaning to reduce the
risk of electric shock or damage to persons.
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 four bulbs
under the log set which generate the flames and embers.
It is a good idea to replace all of the 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 the light bulbs.

TO REPLACE LIGHT BULBS

1. Open the steel curtains (remove glass doors if applicable).
2. Remove the log grate retaining screws and remove the log grate.
3. Pull the rear edge of the log set forward by grasping the ember bed by the
sides (handle the log set only by the ember bed and not the logs) and
pulling firmly until the rear tab pops out from under the back ledge, then lift
out.
4. Locate and examine to determine which bulbs require replacement in the
rear of the unit. If more room is needed the flame rod can be lifted up by
lifting up on the flame rod on the opposite side of the motor.
5. Unscrew bulb counter clockwise.
6. Insert new bulb screwing clockwise.
7. Replace the log set by inserting the front edge, pushing the back down
until the rear tab snaps under the back ledge and the logs are resting
against the mirror.
Quantity 4 clear chandelier or candelabra bulbs with an E-12 (small)
socket base, 60 watt rating. Example GE 60BC or Philips 60CTC
CAUTION DO NOT EXCEED 60 WATTS PER BULB
