NOTE: When the firebox is changing from Low heat
to High heat the speed of the fan does not change just the
amount of heat being emitted.
F. 3-Position Switch (Figure 2)

sequentially, flame only to flame and low heat, to flame and
high heat. The level is increased every time the " I " side of
the switch is pressed. The fireplace can be turned off at any
point by pressing the " II " side of the switch.
Level 1: The flame effect is turned on and the first red
indicator light flashes momentarily.
Level 2: The flame effect remains on, the heater is activated
to the low heat setting, and the first and second red indicator
lights flash momentarily.
Level 3: The flame effect remains on, the heater is set
to the high heat setting, and all three red indicators flash
momentarily.

NOTE: The heater may emit a slight, harmless odor
when first 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
Should the heater overheat, an automatic cut out will turn the
fireplace off and it will not come back on without being reset.
It can be reset by switching the On/Off Switch to Off and
waiting five (5) minutes before switching the unit back on.
If operating the unit with a remote control, the remote may
require re-initializing after turning the power off.
CAUTION: If you need to continuously reset the heater,
disconnect power and call Dimplex customer service at
1-888-DIMPLEX (1-888-346-7539).
Remote Control
The fireplace is supplied with a radio frequency remote
control. This remote control has a range of approximately 50
feet (15.25 m), it does not have to be pointed at the fireplace
and can pass through most obstacles (including walls). It is
supplied with one of hundreds of independent frequencies to
prevent interference with other units.
!
NOTE: Before attempting any operation with the remote
control, pull the plastic insulator strip out from between the
remote casing and battery cover (Figure 3).
Remote Control Initialization/Reprogramming
This procedure is required every time there is a loss of power
to the remote control in the fireplace. (i.e. power failure,
breaker tripped, On/Off switch is turned off)
1. Ensure that power is supplied through main service
panel.
2. Locate manual controls. (Figure 1)
3. Activate On/Off switch.
4. Press and hold the 3-Position Switch in the "
