OPERATION

Figure 1

C

B

A

A. 3-Position Switch

The switch has two On positions marked. The “ -- “ position
is for manual operation. In this position the built-in remote
control is by-passed. The “ = “ position is for operating
the unit with the provided remote control. When in remote

control (“ = “) 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 heater fan and the
heater element. When the switch is in the ON position the
heater operates if the thermostat calls for heat.

C. Heater Thermostat Control

To adjust the 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

clockwise until you hear the click again and the heater will
turn on.

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 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 remote

control. 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, 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 receiver board 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).

To operate, push the ON button to turn replace on, push
the OFF button to turn the replace off.

!

NOTE: Ensure that the replace 3-Position switch is

set to the remote control setting.

Remote Control Initialization/Reprogramming

If the hand held transmitter or receiver board has been
replaced, follow these steps to initialize the transmitter and
receiver:

1. Place the 3-Position Switch (Figure 1A) in the OFF

(“O”) position.

2. Wait a minimum of ve (5) seconds and then place the

3-Position Switch in the Remote Control (“=”) position.

3. Within 10 seconds of changing the switch position,

press the ON button located on the remote control

(Figure 2).

This will synchronize the remote control and the replace

receiver.

!

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.

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

MAINTENANCE

Light Bulb Replacement (Mod 0-A Only)

Allow at least ve (5) minutes for light bulbs to cool before

touching bulbs to avoid accidental burning of skin.

Light bulbs need to be replaced when you notice a dark

section of the ame or when the clarity and detail of the

log ember bed exterior disappears. There are two 2 bulbs

under the log set, which generate the ames and embers.

Light Bulb Requirements

Quantity of two 2 clear chandelier or candelabra bulbs with

an E-12 (small) socket base, 60 Watt rating. Example: GE

60BC or Philips 60 CTC.

Do not exceed 60 Watts per bulb.

Helpful Hints

It is a good idea to replace both light bulbs at one time
if they are close to the end of their rated life. Group
replacement will reduce the number of times you need to
open the unit to replace light bulbs. Care must be taken
when removing the log set.

To Access The Lower Light Bulb Area: (Figure 3)

1. Remove front glass assembly.

2. Pull the front edge of the plastic Ember Bed, plastic

grate or Media Tray (depending on Model) up and

forward until the rear tab releases from the ledge

located at the bottom of the partially reective glass.

!

IMPORTANT: Only handle the log set by the ember bed.

Glass Cleaning

The front glass is cleaned in the factory during the
assembly operation. During shipment, installation,
handling, etc., the front glass may collect dust particles,
these can be removed by dusting lightly with a clean dry
cloth.

To remove ngerprints or other marks, the glass can be

cleaned with a damp cloth. The glass should be completely
dried with a lint free cloth to prevent water spots. To
prevent scratching, do not use abrasive cleaners or spray
liquids on the glass surface.

Fireplace Surface Cleaning

To remove ngerprints or other marks, the exterior nish

can be cleaned with a damp cloth with a mild detergent.
The surface should be completely dried with a lint free cloth

to prevent water spots.

!

NOTE: Log set ts tightly into rebox, some force may

be necessary to remove.

3. Set Log Set/ Media Tray in front of replace.

4. Disconnect icker from motor (see Figure 3).

5. Unscrew bulbs counter clockwise.

6. Insert new bulbs.

7. Reconnect icker to motor.

8. Replace the log set by inserting the front edge of the
log set and push down on the rear edge of the ember
bed until it snaps into place (Figure 4).

!

NOTE: Ensure the log set is installed tightly under the

back ledge to prevent light leakage.

9. Replace glass assembly.
