WIRING DIAGRAM

DF3215

If unit was operating prior to servicing allow at least 10 minutes for light bulbs and

heating element to cool off to avoid accidental burning of skin.

Disconnect power before attempting any maintenance or cleaning to reduce the risk of

electric shock or damage to persons.

Light bulbs need to be replaced when you notice a dark section of the flame. There are

four bulbs under the log set which generate the flames and embers.

It is a good idea to replace all of the 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 the light bulbs.

LOWER BULB REPLACEMENT

1. Open the bi-fold doors.

2. Pull the front edge of the plastic ember bed or plastic grate up and forward until the

rear tab releases from the ledge located at the bottom of the mirror.

IMPORTANT

ONLY handle the logset by the emberbed.

NOTE

Logset fits tightly into firebox, some force

may be necessary to remove.

3. Set logset in front of firebox.

4. Disconnect the logset LED wire

harness from unit.

5. Lift the left side of the flame rod out of

the mounting bracket.

6. Examine the bulbs to determine which

bulbs require replacement.

7. Unscrew bulbs counter clockwise.

8. Insert new bulbs.

9. Install the left side of the flame rod to

the mounting bracket.

10.Reconnect the logset LED wire harness.

11.Replace the logset by inserting the front of

the emberbed under the front edge of the

fireplace and push down on the rear edge of

the emberbed until it snaps into place.

NOTE

Ensure the logset is installed tightly under the back ledge

to prevent light leakage.

12.Close the bi-fold doors.
