Model / MOD Specific Procedures

Light Bulb Replacement

Allow at least five (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. There are two (2) bulbs under the log set which generate the flames and embers.

Disconnect power before attempting any maintenance or cleaning to reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to persons.

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.

Light Bulb Requirements

Quantity of two (2) clear chandelier or candelabra bulbs with an E-12 (small) socket base, 60 Watt rating.

Do not exceed 60 Watts per bulb
