RESETTING THE TEMPERTURE CUTOUT SWITCH
The heater on this fireplace is protected with a safety device to prevent overheating.
Should the heater overheat, an automatic cut out will turn the heater off and it will not
come back on without being reset. It can be reset by switching the Main Power switch
(FIGURE 1) to OFF and waiting 5 minutes before switching it to ON.
WALL MOUNTED CONTROLS
The fireplace can be installed with wall mounted controls. These controls include wall
switches and thermostats. (see installation guide for details)
A. Wall Mounted Switches
This model may be installed such that a wall mounted switch activates the flame effect
and a wall mounted heater switch activates the heater. A wall mounted switch can also
be installed to operate the heater independent of the flame.
B. Wall Mounted Thermostat
This unit may be installed such that a wall mounted thermostat can adjust the heat
temperature to your individual requirements. Turn the thermostat control clockwise all
the way to turn on the heater. When the room reaches the desired temperature, turn
the thermostat knob counter clockwise until you hear a click. Leave in this position to
maintain the room temperature at this setting. For additional heat, turn the thermostat
clockwise until you hear the click again and the heater will turn on. To turn the heater
off, turn the thermostat counter clockwise all the way, and/or turn the manual heater
switch on the unit to the OFF position.
VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH LOCATION

Ensure that the incoming power supply voltage
matches the setting of the voltage selector
switch.
NOTE:
The voltage selector switch is located
inside the exhaust panel on the top
right hand corner (FIGURE 6).
CAUTION:
When changing the voltage selector
switch from 240 volts to 120 volts
ensure that the power supply is turned
off.
NOTE:
Carefully insert a flat headed screwdriver inside the exhaust panel to change the switch
from 240 volts (230 position) to 120 volts (115 position).
