Maintenance
Light Bulb Replacement
Allow at least ve (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 ame or when the clarity and detail of the log
ember bed exterior disappears. There are three (3) bulbs
under the log set, which generate the ames and embers,
and two (2) bulbs above the log that illuminate the log
exterior.

with an E-12 (small) socket base, 60 Watt rating. Example:

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.
