an E-12 (small) socket base. The light bulb will have to be replaced from time to
time when it burns out.
During normal operation, the stove heater will always give you simulated flame
function. If the intensity of flame suddenly increases, it means that the light bulb is
going to burn out.
Replace the light bulb immediately, according to the instructions. Do not operate
the stove heater when the light bulb burns out or without the light bulb.

the logset up far enough to access the light bulbs. You will find 1 X 40W
Type B-10 candelabra light bulb with E-12 socket base at the bottom.
STEP 3: Replace the burned out light bulb using a new 40 watt Type B-10 candelabra
light bulb.
