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.
