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. 

Level 1:  The flame effect is turned on and the first 
red indicator light is activated.   

Level 2:  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:  The flame effect remains on, the heater is 
set to the high heat setting, and all three red 
indicator lights are activated. 

MANUAL CONTROLS 

The fireplace can also be controlled in a similar 
manner to the remote control with switches located 
on the fireplace (FIGURE3).   

A. 

Main Power Switch

 

Main on/off switch, supplies power to the remote 
control receiving unit.  When placed in the on 
position level 1 indicator will flash. 

B. 

Heater Control Switch

 

Operates fireplace in the same manner as the 
remote control transmitter.  Pressing the left side of 
this switch has the same effect as the ON button on 
the remote control and the right side has the same 
effect as the OFF button of the remote control.  
Pressing once to the left activates Level 1, twice 
activates Level 2, three times activates Level 3.  
Pressing to the right turns the fireplace off. 

RESETTING THE TEMPERATURE 

CUTOUT SWITCH 

The heater on this fireplace is protected with a 
safety device to prevent overheating.  Should the 
heater overheat, an automatic cut out will turn the 
heater off and it will not come back on without 
being reset.  It can be reset by switching the Main 
Power switch (FIGURE 3) to OFF and waiting 5 
minutes before switching it to ON.  The remote 
control will need to be re-initialized (see page 2) 

CAUTION 

If you need to continuously reset 
the heater, disconnect the power 
at the main service panel and call 
your local dealer. 

 

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. 

 

FIGURE 3 

NOTE 

Hot air will blow from both sides 
of the fireplace when the heater 
control switch is activated
