BULB REpLACEMENT

WARNING: The halogen light
bulbs in your unit can become
extremely hot. Allow at least 10
minutes between turning off the
heater and removing the light
bulbs to avoid accidental burns.
There are a total of 6 halogen light bulbs (type
GX6.35 rated 120 volts, 20 watts or 35 watts)

beneath the log set
• 2 bulbs provide illumination for the flame
generation assembly

WARNING: Do not install
replacement bulbs that exceed
specified maximum watts.
Your fireplace unit must be opened in order to replace

need to open the unit, replace all bulbs at the same
time. If the unit has been running, turn off power and
let fireplace cool before changing bulb.
