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,
