OPERATION
Figure 1
CBA
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).

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 Reective Glass Cleaning
The partially reective glass is cleaned in the factory during the assembly operation. During shipment, installation,
handling, etc., the partially reective 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 reective glass can be cleaned with a damp cloth. The partially
reective 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.
NOTE: All components are replaceable from the front of
the replace while the unit is mounted on the wall, with the
exception of replacement of the power cord.
!
NOTE: If the power cord needs replacing or if the unit
needs to be removed from the wall for any other reason
please begin service by following the “PREPARATION FOR
SERVICE” instructions, then move on to the section “INSTRUCTIONS FOR REMOVING FROM WALL”.
Tools Required: Philips head screwdriver
WARNING: Disconnect power before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning to reduce the risk of electric
shock or damage to persons.
CAUTION: If unit was operating prior to servicing allow
at least 10 minutes for lights and heating elements to cool
off to avoid accidental burning of skin.
1. Disconnect power source.
• Unplug the replace from the outlet.
• If unit has been hardwired for power or outlet is not
accessible from the front, turn the breaker off at the
electrical panel.
2. Remove the front glass assembly by removing the 2
screws (1 on the left and 1 on the right side). These
screws secure the front glass panel to the inside of the
replace. (Figure 4)
3. Lift the front glass assembly off of the 4 mounts located
between the outer and inner casing of the replace: 2
on the left and 2 on the right. (Figure 3) Carefully place
the glass assembly aside in a safe location.
4. Proceed to the instructions within this manual relating
to the repair being performed - see Table of Contents
for page number.
