MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Y-Décor’s Electric fireplaces use Incandescent candelabra bulbs, rating voltage 120 volts, 40 Watt,
E-12 small socket base light bulbs.
Changing Light Bulbs
Disconnect power supply before beginning any maintenance
1. Light bulbs need to be replaced when you notice a dark section of the flame or when
clarity and detail of the coal effect disappears.
2. Unscrew the locking nut on the side of the brackets and then remove the face. This is
done by lifting the face up and swinging the face clear of the fire. Care should be taken
not to damage the face. Removal of the face may require two people.
3. On the base of the fire there are screws on both sides. These need to be removed to allow
the cover to slide down. ( Figure 10).
WARNING
Allow at least five minutes for the light bulbs to cool before touching the bulbs to avoid
burning. Make sure power supply is disconnected.
Examine the bulbs to determine which one needs replacing. Remove the non working
bulb and replace with a new long life bulb. Hold the socket while unscrewing the old
bulb and while screwing in the replacement bulb. ( Figure 11)
The bulbs are 40 watt candelabra bulbs available at most hardware or Do it Your Self or
Lighting stores.
Once the bulb has been replaced, replace the cover, screws and face.
