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 four (4) bulbs

under the log set, which generate the ames and embers,

and two (2) bulbs above the log that illuminate the log

exterior.

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. Care must be taken when removing the

log set as the log set contains LED’s and wires.

LowerLightBulbRequirements

Quantity of four (4) clear chandelier or candelabra bulbs with

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

60BC or Philips 60 CTC.

!NOTE:Log set ts tightly into rebox, some force may

be necessary to remove.

5. Set log set in front of replace.

6. Disconnect the log set LED wire harness from unit

(Figure 5).

7. Pull the Flicker Rod to the far right, then bend it carefully

to free and lift the left side out of the mounting bracket.

! NOTE: When removing the Flicker Rod, damage may

occur if bent excessively. If the Flicker Rod is damaged,

replace to insure proper operation.

8. Replace bulb(s) as needed.

9. Reinstall the Flicker Rod.

10. Reconnect the log set LED wire harness.

11. Replace the log set by inserting the rear edge of the log

set and push down on the front edge of the ember bed

until it snaps into place (Figure 6).

Disconnect power before attempting any maintenance or

cleaning to reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to

persons.

ReplacementProcedure

1. Slide fireplace out from mantel.

!NOTE:Use caution when removing bottom panel as

there are components attached to the panel which are

hard wired within the replace chassis.

!NOTE:The bi-fold doors are supported by the bottom

panel. When pulling the bottom panel away from the

chassis, do so carefully so that the doors do not get

damaged.

4. Carefully remove bottom panel from replace and swivel

it outwards to the right so as to keep wiring connected

but allowing sufcient room to work.

5. Slide the bi-fold doors out of the top frame track and set

aside.

6. Disconnect the log set LED wire harness.

7. Remove the six (6) Philips screws that hold the log set

support bracket in place. Refer to Figure 10 for a side

view of the replace showing screw locations.

!NOTE:Some replaces have these three points riveted

instead of screwed in place. If this is the case, use a 1/8

inch drill bit to drill out the rivet.

screws on the back along the top edge (Figure 12).

replace. Slide the bracket directly out the bottom of the

replace and set aside.

10. Slide Mirror down and out the bottom of the replace.

11. Align sides of replacement Mirror with grooves of rubber

extrusions and with brick effect facing out towards the

front of the replace, slide Mirror up into the replace.

The Mirror should slide into a holding track just beneath

the lter.

12. Slide Log Set Support Bracket back into place, the sides

of the bracket lining up with the grooves of the rubber

extrusions (Figure 11).

13. Reinstall Log Set while support bracket is loose within

replace. The back edge of the Log Set should t under

the bottom edge of the Mirror, and the front edge of the

Log Set should t in behind the top, inside edge of the

Log Set Support Bracket (see Figure 6, page 8).

14. Install Log Set Support Bracket using the six (6) screws

from step 7 (or, if rivets were originally in place, use the

screws supplied with RP kit for Mirror).

15. Reconnect the LED Wire Harness for the Log Set.

16. Reassemble the bottom panel of the replace following

steps 1-5 in reverse order.
