Pressing the switch for a third time (“–” position)

F.  HEATER 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 reached the desired 

temperature, turn the thermostat knob counter clockwise 

until you hear a click.  Leave 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.

!

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.

!

  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).

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).

!

 NOTE:

  The remote control is an EEPROM system; 

therefore if power is interrupted for whatever reason, 

the built-in receiver board will hold the memory of 

the remote’s radio frequency for up to 24 hours.  The 

remote should continue to operate the fireplace as 

normal once unit is re-powered.  Re-initialization of the 

remote control to the fireplace should only be required 

if there is a loss of power to the receiver for longer than 

24 hours. (i.e. power failure, main power switch is turned 

off).

This section will explain the function of each convenient
