for replacing the light bulbs under the Maintenance section of this manual)
• Is the firebox switched on?
2. The heater on your firebox may emit a slight, harmless odor when first used.
This odor is a normal condition caused by the initial heating of internal heater
parts and will not occur again, if required ventilate the room.

when removing.
5. Set logset in front of firebox.
6. Disconnect the logset LED wire harness from unit.
7. Unscrew bulbs counter clockwise.
8. Insert new bulbs.
9. Reconnect the logset LED wire harness.
