OPERATION

Figure 1

A

B

The manual controls for the electric replace are located on
the right side of the unit (Figure 1).

A. 3-Position Switch

The switch has two (2) 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. Heat On/Off Switch

The Heat On/Off Switch supplies power to the heater fan

and the heater element.

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.

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: Ensure that the replace’s 3-Position Switch is
set to the remote control setting (“ II ” position).

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

!

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).

Remote Control Initialization/Reprogramming

In the event that your remote control ceases to operate

your replace, follow these steps to re-initialize the remote
control and the remote control receiver in the replace:

Place the 3-Position Switch (Figure 1A) in the Off (“1. O”)

position.

Wait a minimum of ve (5) seconds and then place the 2.
3-Position Switch in the Remote Control (“ II ”) position.

Within 10 seconds of changing the switch position, 3.
press the ON button located on the remote control

(Figure 2).

This will synchronize the remote control and the remote
control 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.
