To access the controls, flip open the control panel cover
towards the bottom of the fireplace. (Figure 1)
A. On/Off Switch
The On/Off Switch supplies power to all fireplace functions
(Heater/Flame).
B. Flame Action Control
Turn the Flame Action Control knob to adjust the flame
speed to the desired level.
C. Interior Light Control
Turn the Interior Light Control knob to increase or decrease
the brightness of the upper lights.
D. Thermostat Control
To adjust the temperature to your individual requirements,
turn the thermostat control clockwise all the way to turn
on the heater. When the room reaches the desired
temperature, turn the thermostat knob counter clockwise
until you hear a click. Leave thermostat in this position
to maintain the room temperature at this setting. For
additional heat, turn clockwise until you hear the click again
and the heater will turn on.
E. LED Indicators
Indicates the current function of the fireplace: Level 1 -
Flame only; Level 2 - Flame and Low Heat; and Level 3 -
Flame with High Heat.
!
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 3)
The 3-Position Switch operates the fireplace levels
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.

Level 1 - Flame only
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 2).
Remote Control Initialization/Reprogramming
This procedure may be 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)
Level 3 - Flame and high heat
Level 2 - Flame and low heat
