OPERATION
To access the controls, swing down the front cover panel located on the lower front of
the Fireplace (refer to diagram below).
A. MAIN ON/OFF SWITCH
The on/off switch supplies power to all unit functions (heat/flame)
B. HEATER ON/OFF SWITCH
The HEATER ON/OFF SWITCH supplies power to the heater fan and the heater
element.
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 reached 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. To turn the heater
off, switch the HEATER ON/OFF SWITCH to the OFF position.
NOTE: When the heater is switched ON, the heater fan will operate. The heater
element may or may not be on, depending on the thermostat control setting (SEE
“HEATER THERMOSTAT CONTROL”).
RESETTING THE TEMPERATURE CUTOFF SWITCH
This unit is equipped with a thermostat, which controls the temperature of the room. It
does this by turning the heater on and off. The heater is protected with a safety device
to prevent overheating. Should the heater overheat, an automatic cut out will turn the
heater 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 5 minutes before switching the unit back on.
CAUTION
If you need to continuously reset the heater, unplug the unit and call Dimplex North
America Limited at 1-800-668-6663.

If unit was operating prior to servicing allow at least 10 minutes for light bulbs and
heating element to cool off to avoid accidental burning of skin.
Disconnect power before attempting any maintenance or cleaning to reduce the risk of
electric shock or damage to persons.
Light bulbs need to be replaced when you notice a dark section of the flame. There are
four bulbs under the log set which generate the flames and embers.
It is a good idea to replace all of the 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 the light bulbs.
LOWER BULB REPLACEMENT
1. Unplug the unit from power outlet.
2. On the back of the Compact Fireplace remove the screws from the light access
cover.
3. Remove the light access cover.
4. Reach into the opening, locate and examine the bulbs to determine which bulb(s)
required replacement.
5. Unscrew the bulb(s) counter clockwise.
