Light Bulb Replacement - Dimplex DF3215 Service Manual

Light Bulb Replacement
Allow at least five (5) minutes for light bulbs to cool before
touching bulbs to avoid accidental burning of skin.
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 four (4) bulbs
under the log set, which generate the flames and embers,
and two (2) bulbs above the log that illuminate the log
exterior.
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
log set as the log set contains LED's and wires.
