Light Bulb Replacement

If unit was operating prior to servicing allow at least 10
minutes for light bulbs and heating element 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 two bulbs at the top of the
opening that illuminate the log set exterior and three 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.
