Page 13: Maintenance
Maintenance Light Bulb Replacement Allow at least 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 two bulbs under the log set, which generate the flames and embers. Light Bulb Requirements Quantity of 2 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 both 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. To Access The Lower Light Bulb Area: (Figure 7) 1. Remove front glass assembly. 2. Pull the back edge of the plastic ember bed forward until the rear tab releases from the ledge located at... -
