Operation
Electric Fireplace Manual Control
The manual controls for the unit are located in the top, right
corner, on the front of the rebox (Figure 1). A switch is in
the On position when the side with the “ I”, or “ II ” markings
on it is pushed in.
This three (3) position switch offers the following functions:
(I) Manual mode
When in the “ I ” position, the replace bypasses the built-
in remote control, the ame effect is turned on and the
electrical supply to the heater is controlled manually using
the Low Heat and High Heat Switches (Figure 1-C and D).
(II) Remote mode
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.
!NOTE: Remote control operates main power supply. Heat
must still be controlled by switches on replace.
(O) Off position
All power to all functions are switched off.
Resetting the Temperature Cutoff Switch
Should the replace 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 Main Power Switch
(Figure 1-A or B) to the Off (“ O ”) position, 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 Dimplex North America Limited at
1-888-346-7539 for technical support.

The 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 243 independent frequencies to prevent
interference with other units and the frequency designation is
indicated on the back of the remote control.
Replace battery when needed with a 9 volt battery.
Remote Control Installation
1. Plug replace power cord into the outlet located on the
side of the receiver (Figure 2).
2. Plug receiver into the wall outlet.
3. Remove the plastic tag at the battery cover, to activate the
remote control.
!NOTE: Fireplace Power On/Off Switch (Figure 1-A) must
be in the On (“ I ”) position prior to using the Remote
Control.
ON/OFF Remote Control may be used to control most
other electrical devices including TV’s, stereos and lamps.
CAUTION: For indoor use in dry areas only.
For use on electrical devices with 15 amp resistive load or
1/3 HP inductive load.
120 volt AC only.
!NOTE: The plug-in remote version may include either
the remote control as pictured on page 3 or the remote
control as shown to the right.
The following integrated remote control (Figure 3) is included
with the models and MOD levels specied below:
Used in:
DFI2309 MODs C to D•
DFI2310 MOD A2 to D•
!NOTE: Ensure that the replace’s 3 Position On/Off
Switch (Figure 1-B) is set to the remote control (“ II ”)
setting.
To operate: push ON button to turn replace on; push OFF
button to turn replace off (Figure 3).

switches on replace (Figure 1-C & D).
Battery Installation/Replacement
1. Depress tab on the battery cover on the back of the
remote control and remove battery cover (Figure 3).
2. Properly orient and install one (1) 12 Volt (A23) battery
into the remote control.
