On/Off Switch
The On/Off Switch supplies power to the remote control
receiving unit. When placed in the On position Level 1
indicator will flash.
3-Position Heater Switch
Pressing "-" activates:
Level 1 (once) - the flame effect is turned on and the
first red indicator light is activated;
Level 2 (twice) - the flame effect remains on, the heater
is activated to the low heat setting, and the first and
second red indicator lights are activated;
Level 3 (three times) - the flame effect remains on, the
heater is set to the high heat setting, and all three red
indicator lights are activated.
Pressing "=" turns the fireplace off.
NOTE: Hot air will blow from both sides of the fireplace
when the 3-position heater switch is activated. 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.
!
NOTE: 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).
