Maintenance

WARNING
Disconnect the power before attempting any maintenance or cleaning to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock or damage to persons.
Light Bulb Replacement
Allow at least 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
bulbs under the log set, which generate the flames and embers, and two bulbs above the log
that illuminate the log exterior.
Lower Light Bulb Requirements
Quantity of 3 clear chandelier or candelabra bulbs with an E-12 (small) socket base, 60 watt
rating. Example: GE 60BC or Philips 60 CTC.
DO NOT EXCEED 60 WATTS PER BULB
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 logset as the logset contains LED's and
wires.
To access the lower light bulb area:
1. Slide fireplace out of mantel
2. Lay unit on it's back for safe removal of front glass.
3. Remove 4 Phillips screws from the right side of trim.
4. Slide glass to right side of fireplace to remove.
5. Pull the front edge of the plastic ember bed or plastic
grate up and forward until the rear tab releases from
the ledge located at the bottom of the mirror.
6. Remove flicker rod by sliding flicker rod to the left away
from the flicker motor and lifting out.
7. Remove light bracket for easier access to light bulbs.
IMPORTANT
Only handle the logset by the emberbed.
NOTE
Logset fits tightly into firebox, some force may be necessary
to remove.
8. Set logset in front of fireplace.
9. Unscrew bulbs counter clockwise.
10. Insert new bulbs.
11. Replace the logset by inserting the front edge of the
fireplace and push down on the rear edge of the emberbed
until it snaps into place. (Figure 3)
12. Lay unit on it's back and slide front glass back into position and attach trim.
NOTE
Ensure the logset is installed tightly under the back ledge to prevent light leakage.
