OPERATION

Figure 1

C B A

 WARNING: This electric rebox must be properly in-

stalled before it is used.

The manual controls for the electric replace are located on the right side of the unit and inside the air intake slot (Figure

1).

A. On/Off Switch

The On/Off Switch supplies power to all replace functions.

When the switch is in the “ I ” position, the unit is on. When in the “ O ” position, the replace is off.

B. 3-Position Switch

The 3-position Switch changes the mode the replace operates in and has three positions: “ MANUAL ”; “ OFF ”; and “ REMOTE ”.

In “ MANUAL ” mode, the replace’s three levels of operation are controlled by the manual control buttons.

In “ OFF ” mode, power to all functions is cut off.

When in “ REMOTE ” mode, the replace’s three levels of

operation are controlled by the ON and OFF buttons on the

remote control.

NOTE: After the unit is switched from ame and high

heat to another function there is a 30 second fan delay, where the fan will continue running before turning off.

C. Manual Control Buttons

The Manual Control Buttons operate the replace levels.

The level is increased every time the “I” button is pressed the unit will cycle the levels through sequentially (from off):

ames only; to ames and low heat; to ames and high

heat.

The replace can be turned off at any point by pressing the

“ O ” button.

NOTE: The heater may emit a slight, harmless odour

when rst used. This odour is a normal condition caused

by initial heating of internal heater parts and will not occur again.

Resetting the Temperature Cutoff Switch

Should the heater overheat, an automatic cut out will turn

the replace off and it will not come back on without being

reset. It can be reset by switching the On/Off Switch to Off

and waiting ve minutes before switching the unit back on.

CAUTION: If you need to continuously reset the heater,

disconnect power and call Dimplex customer service at 1-888-DIMPLEX (1-888-346-7539).

Remote Control

The replace is supplied with a radio frequency remote

control. This remote control has a range of approximately 50 ft. (15.25 m), it does not have to be pointed at the replace and can pass through most obstacles (including walls). It is supplied with one of hundreds of independent frequencies to prevent interference with other units.

NOTE: Before attempting any operation with the remote, pull the plastic insulator strip out from between

the remote casing and battery cover (Figure 2).

Remote Control Initialization/Reprogramming

If the remote control or remote control receiver has been replaced, follow these steps to initialize the remote control and receiver:

1. Ensure that power is supplied through the main service panel.

2. Turn On/Off Switch to ON (Figure 1A).

3. Move the 3-position switch to the “ REMOTE ” position

(Figure 1B).

4. Press and hold the Manual Control Button marked “ I ” for

ve seconds. After ve seconds, there is a 10 second

window to press any button on the remote control.

5. Press any button on the remote control within that 10 seconds. This will synchronize the remote control and receiver.

Remote Control Usage

The remote control operates the replace levels sequential- ly (from off): ames only; to ames and low heat; to ames

and high heat.

The level is increased every time the ON button is pressed

on the remote control and the replace can be turned off at any point by pressing the OFF button.

Battery Replacement

To replace the battery:

1. Slide battery cover open on the remote control (Figure

2).

2. Install one (1) 12-Volt (A23) battery in the battery holder.

3. Close the battery cover.

Battery must be recycled or dis-

posed of properly. Check with your Local Authority or Retailer for recycling advice in your area.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Disconnect power before attempting any

maintenance or cleaning to reduce the risk of re, electric shock or damage to persons.

NOTE: The replace should not be operated with an ac-

cumulation of dust or dirt on or in the unit, as this can cause

a build up of heat and eventual damage. For this reason

the heater must be inspected regularly, depending upon conditions and at least at yearly intervals.

Partially Reective Glass Cleaning

The partially reective glass is cleaned in the factory during the assembly operation. During shipment, installation,

handling, etc., the partially reective glass may collect dust particles; these can be removed by dusting lightly with a

clean dry cloth.

To remove ngerprints or other marks, the partially reective glass can be cleaned with a damp cloth. The partially

reective glass should be completely dried with a lint free

cloth to prevent water spots. To prevent scratching, do not use abrasive cleaners.

Fireplace Surface Cleaning

Use only a damp cloth to clean painted surfaces of the

replace. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Servicing

Except for installation and cleaning described in this manual, an authorized service representative should perform any other servicing.
