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
to be followed again.

Front Glass Replacement
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.
Replacement Procedure
1. Slide rebox out of mantel.
2. Lay unit on it’s back for safe removal of Front Glass.
3. Remove three (3) Phillips screws from right side of Trim.
4. Remove Trim.
5. Slide glass to the right side of the rebox to remove
(Figure 4).
6. Reassemble using replacement Front Glass in reverse
order as described above.
CAUTION: Even though the glass is safety glass it may
break if bumped, struck or dropped. Care must be
taken when handling the glass.
Upper Bulb Requirements:
A quantity of two (2) chandelier or candelabra bulbs with an
E-12 (small) socket base, 15 Watt rating are required.
Do not exceed 15 Watts per bulb
Upper Bulb Replacement Procedure
1. Slide rebox out of mantel.
2. Lay unit on it’s back for safe removal of Front Glass.
3. Remove three (3) Phillips screws from right side of Trim.
4. Remove Trim.
5. Slide glass to the right side of the rebox to remove

CAUTION: Even though the glass is safety glass it may
break if bumped, struck of dropped. Care must be
taken when handling the glass.
6. Upper bulbs are located in the upper left and upper
right corners of rebox, behind the Light Block Bracket
(Figure 5).
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.

wires which are piggy-backed together in pairs, and the
cable connector which leads to the Flicker Motor) using
the same procedure.
CAUTION: Internal wiring and colors may not be the
same within the unit being serviced as those shown. To
avoid damage to the unit, damage to property or
personal injury, ensure wires are reconnected to match
their original locations.
10. Follow steps 1 through 3 in reverse order to reassemble

Ensure that all wires are paired by color in each
connector.
!NOTE: In the event that multiple Flicker Motors were
already replaced within unit, or if required wiring has
been cut too short, it may be necessary to replace
Flicker Motor and the attached cable as a whole.
To do so:
i) Follow steps 1 through 7 and step 9.
ii) Unplug the cable connector from the Flame Action
Control board on the left side of the rebox (Figure
12, page 12).
iii) Cut all cable ties that bind the Flicker Motor Cable
and other wires together (wires and cable run
behind the lower bulbs).
iv) Follow steps 10 and 11 to remove defective Flicker
Motor.
v) Follow steps 17 through 19 to install new Flicker
Motor.
vi) Run Flicker Motor Cable along channel behind lower
bulbs and bind together with other wires using cable
ties.

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.
Replacement Procedure
1. Remove the rebox from the mantel.

to the rest of the rebox. There are: (four) 4 screws at
the back of the rebox, along the top; two (2) screws on
each side and at the top of the rebox; and two (2)
screws on the top of the rebox (Figure 18).
4. Flip the top panel over and place upside down on the
top of the unit. You may experience some resistance
as the Heater Assembly is mounted to the top panel
and may be a snug t inside the rebox. Orientate
yourself with the placement of the Heater Assembly
and wiring as shown in Figure 19.
5. Turn the top panel over and, while supporting the
Heater Assembly and panel in one hand, remove the
ve (5) Phillips heater mounting screws, noting the
center screw is of a larger diameter (Figure 20).

under the control panel; and two (2) screws on the
bottom of the rebox (see Figure 8, page 10). The
bottom panel is now free to be removed.
4. Locate and disconnect the two (2) power cord wire
connections. The smooth edged wire leading from the
narrow blade of the power plug connects to the middle
of the three (3) terminals on the Three Position On/
Off Switch; the side of the power cord leading from the
wide blade of the plug, and has ridges along its edge
leads to the bottom, right terminal of the Flame Action
Control board (Figure 21).
5. Using pliers, squeeze the sides of the plastic wire
clamp on the Power Cord from inside the chassis and
push it through the sheet metal.
6. Release clamp from the Power Cord and remove
Power Cord from the rebox.
