OPERATION  

 

 

 

REMOTE CONTROL 

The Optiflame fireplace is supplied with a 
radio frequency remote control (all models 
except BF36E).  This remote control has a 
range of approximately 50ft. (15.25m), it does 
not have to be pointed at the fireplace and can 
pass through most obstacles (including walls).  
It is supplied with one of 243 independent 
frequencies to prevent interference with other 
units.  The frequency designation is indicated 
on the back of the transmitter (FIGURE 1).   
 

A. Remote Control Initialization 

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, 
main power switch is turned off) 
1.  Ensure that power is supplied through 

main service panel. 

2.  Access the manual controls, (remove glass 

doors if applicable) pull right hand edge of 
right hand steel curtain towards the center 
of unit.  (FIGURE 2) 

3.  Locate manual controls refer to FIGURE 3. 
4.  Activate main power switch, red indicator 

light 1 will flash. 

5.  Press ON button located on the remote 

control transmitter (FIGURE 1).  This will 
synchronize the remote control transmitter 
and receiver.

B. Remote Control Usage 

The remote control operates the fireplace 
levels sequentially.  The level is increased 
every time the ON button on the transmitter is 
pressed.  The fireplace can be turned off at 
any point by pressing the OFF button on the 
remote control transmitter.
