Maintenance

WARNING: Disconnect power before attempting any maintenance or cleaning to re- duce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury.

WARNING: Any electrical repairs or rewiring of this unit should be carried out by a licensed electrician in accor- dance with national and local codes.

WARNING: Do not exceed 60 watts per bulb when replac- ing bulbs. Use of higher-rated bulbs may result in a fire, caus- ing property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

Replacing Light Bulbs

There are (3) colored lamps rated at 120V, 60 Watts, for use in a medium sized socket. These bulbs are located under the log bed and can be replaced as follows:

1.If you are unsure which bulb needs replacement, defective bulbs may be visually located as any of 3 bulbs colored - Red, Yellow and Orange starting from the left (see Figure 12, page 7). Defective bulbs can be replaced individually or for convenience you may want to replace all bulbs at the same time; even if only one is defective.

2.Disconnect power to unit at main breaker or fuse panel.

3.Lift log bed off hearth base to gain access to lamp fixtures. Log bed is attached with contact magnets only.

4.Remove each defective bulb from its socket and replace with appropriate color and size bulb.

Note: Be careful not to tear or damage reflec- tive ribbons. If they have come loose, they can be easily reattached or replaced at the support brackets. See Replacing Reflective Ribbons, page 21.

5.Return power to circuit and turn main power switch and lamp power on to check opera- tion of bulbs before replacing log set.

6.If all bulbs are working properly, replace the log bed over the center opening in between rear screen and front grate.

CAUTION: Make sure power is turned off at supply prior to disassembling this unit.
