FIREPLACE PLACEMENT
Our Infrared fireplace heater is a very safe and effective room heater. It produces safe, clean
and economical heat by utilizing quartz infrared heating elements and heat exchangers. The
heating process of the Infrared fireplace heater is similar to the way the sun warms the earth.
The infrared elements warm the heat exchangers and the whisper quiet fan distributes the
accumulated warmth. This process is unique among heaters in that it minimizes wasteful
heat collection at the ceiling height of rooms and targets it toward the living space instead.
To achieve maximum efficiency of your Model LS-IF1500-DOFP Infrared fireplace heater,
please consider the following recommendations:
1. Locate your Infrared fireplace heater close to an inside wall of the room in which it will be
used. Face the exhaust vents of the heater toward the cooler outside walls of the house.
This positioning will allow the heat to be moved across the room toward the outside walls
to provide more even warmth throughout the room.
2. Make sure that windows and doors are not allowing a high rate of airflow into the room
where you will locate your room heater. High airflow will minimize the effectiveness of
your Infrared fireplace heater as it would any conventional type heater.
3. For best results, always try to maintain a minimum of 40% relative humidity in the
environment to be heated.
4. It is recommended that the Infrared fireplace heater be used in rooms that are insulated
according to code. You can use your heater in a room whether insulated or not, but a non-
insulated room will cause greater and faster heat loss which is counterproductive to the
efficiency of the heater.
5. Keep the area around the heater clear of clutter and obstacles so that there is free airflow
to and from the heater.
6. Be mindful to keep your heater out of the main traffic thoroughfares of the room in which it
is located; it should be a welcome addition to the room rather than an obstacle to be
stepped over or stepped around.

Remote Control
FIREPLACE OPERATION
Plug your Infrared fireplace heater power cord into a 120V, 15amp or 20amp three-bladed receptacle.
To Turn the Fireplace On: Press the Power button on the control panel or on the remote
control.
Default Set Temperature: The default set
temperature every time the heater is powered on is
typically 72°, this cannot be changed.
Ambient Temperature: To view the ambient room
temperature, press and hold the Temp up
button for a few seconds, the room temperature will
display for a short period of time, then return to the
desired set temperature.
To Set Desired Temperature:
Press the UP or DOWN button on the
control panel or on the remote control. When the
desired set temperature is reached by the heater’s
internal thermostat, the heater will stop heating
automatically, but the fan will continue to run for
approximately 5 minutes (3 minutes when powered
off) so that unit’s chamber can cool. When the
ambient temperature drops below the set desired
temperature, the heater will cycle on again.
To Set Heat Level: Press the H/L button on
the control panel or remote control to switch
between High and Low heat. The corresponding High (H) or Low (L) light will switch on. In
the High mode, the fan will not change speeds. Rather, the heating elements will allow for
higher heat output. The High level uses 1500 watts, while Low heat level uses approximately
1000 watts.
Celsius and Fahrenheit: The heater displays temperature in Fahrenheit as the default, but
has the capability to display it in Celsius as well.
To change between °Celsius and °Fahrenheit: Press
To Set Flame Brightness: Use the Dimmer button on the control panel or remote
control. The flame brightness control button is used to increase or decrease the brightness of
the flame and ember. Press once, the brightness will start and keep changing. Press
again to set the desired level.
