OPERATION
Figure 1

MANUAL CONTROLS
A. 3-Position Switch
The switch has two On positions marked with “ I ” and “ II ”.
The “ I ” position is for manual operation. In this position the
built-in remote control is bypassed. The “ II ” position is for
operating the unit with the provided remote control. When
in “ II ” position the unit is operated with the ON and OFF
buttons of the remote control. When the switch is in the
center “ O ” position the unit is off.
B. Heater Switch
The Heater Switch supplies power to the heating unit when
the 3-Position Switch (Figure 1A) is On (“I” or “II” positions).
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 3-Position Switch to
Off and waiting ve (5) minutes before switching the unit
back on.
!
NOTE: If operating the unit with a remote control, the
remote control may require re-initializing after turning the
power off.
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 integral
ON/OFF remote control (Figure 2). This remote control
has a range of approximately 50 feet (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 control, pull the plastic insulator strip out from
between the remote casing and battery cover (Figure 2).
!
NOTE: The remote control is an EEPROM system;
therefore if power is interrupted for whatever reason,
the built-in remote control receiver will hold the memory
of the remote’s radio frequency for up to 24 hours. The
remote should continue to operate the replace as
normal once unit is re-powered. Re-initialization of the
remote control to the replace should only be required
if there is a loss of power to the receiver for longer than
24 hours. (i.e. power failure, main power switch is turned
off).
!
NOTE: Ensure that the replace 3-Position Switch is
set to the remote control setting (I.E.. II).
To operate: push the ON button to turn replace on; push
the OFF button to turn replace off.
!
NOTE: Remote control only operates the main power
supply. Heat must still be controlled by switches on
replace.
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:
Turn off power to replace.1.
Locate manual controls (Figure 1).2.
Set the 3-Position Switch to the remote position “II”.3.
Wait a minimum of ve (5) seconds and then re-acquire 4.
power to replace.
Within 10 seconds of re-acquiring power, press the ON 5.
button located on the remote control.
!
NOTE: You will have only 10 seconds to perform this
last step. Failure to do so will result in these steps
needing to be followed again.
This will synchronize the remote control and remote control
receiver.

To replace the battery:
Slide battery cover open on the remote control 1.
(Figure 3).
Install one (1) 12-Volt (A23) battery in the battery 2.
holder.
Close the battery cover3.
Battery must be recycled or disposed of properly.
