Operation
This section will explain the function of each convenient
control (Figure 2).
To access the controls, ip open the control panel cover
towards the bottom of the replace (Figure 1).
Figure 1
A. Three Position On/Off 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. Flame Action Control
Turn the Flame Action Control knob to adjust the ame
action to the desired level.
C. Light Dimmer Control
Turn the Light Dimmer Control knob to increase or
decrease the brightness of the interior of the replace.
D. Heater On/Off Switch
The Heater On/Off Switch supplies power to the heating
unit when the Three Position On/Off Switch (A) is on (“ I”
or “ II ” positions).
E. 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 its setting. For additional heat, turn
clockwise until you hear the click again and the heater will
turn on. To turn the heater off, rotate the knob fully counter
clockwise.
A EC DB
!NOTE: The heater may emit a slight, harmless odor
when rst used. This odor is a normal condition caused
by initial heating of internal heater parts and will not
occur again.
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 Three Position On/Off Switch to Off (“ o ”)
and waiting ve (5) minutes before switching the unit back
on.
CAUTION: If you need to continuously reset the heater,
unplug the unit and call Technical Support at
1-888-346-7539. Please have your model and serial
number ready when calling.
Remote Control
The replace is supplied with an
integrated on/off remote control.
!NOTE: Ensure that the Three
Position On/Off Switch on the
replace is set to the remote
control setting (“ II ” position).
To operate, push the ON button to
turn the replace on, push the OFF
button to turn the replace off.
Battery Replacement (Figure 3)
To replace the battery:
• Slide battery cover open on the
hand held transmitter.
• Correctly install one (1) 12 Volt
(A23) battery in the battery holder.
• Close the battery cover.
Remote Initialization
Follow these steps for remote control
initialization and if required,
reinitialization:
1. Disconnect power to replace.
2. Set the Three Position On/Off Switch to the Remote
position (Figure 2A).
3. Wait a minimum of ve (5) seconds and then reacquire
power to replace.
4. Within 10 seconds of reacquiring power, press the ON
button located on the remote control transmitter.
!NOTE: You will have only 10 seconds to perform this last
step. Failure to do so will result in these steps needing

Light Bulb Replacement
Allow at least ve (5) minutes for the light bulbs to cool
before touching them to avoid accidental burning of the
skin. The 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 reduces. There are three
(3) bulbs under the Log Set Assembly, which generate the
ames and embers, and two (2) bulbs above that illuminate
the log exterior.
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.
