• The remote thermostat uses radio frequency to transmit
to the gas/fan controller.

should last for 12 months. (Depending on quality of
battery.) Batteries should be changed when smoke
alarms are changed.
• The remote control and the controller are non-
serviceable parts and if faulty should be returned to
Glen Dimplex Pty Ltd for replacement.
LOCATING THE REMOTE
The remote houses the thermostat that controls the heat
output of the fire. When storing the remote either on its wall
bracket or by placing it somewhere in the room where the
fire is located, ensure there are no other heat sources that
will affect the thermostats ability to accurately read the
room temperature. For example, by placing the remote in
direct sunlight or under a cushion, the fire may turn down
or off before the room reaches the set temperature.
Factory Set Features
• When turned on the fire will always start on the low
setting and remain on low for 3 minutes, it will then go
