OPERATION

MANUAL CONTROLS

(WITHOUT REMOTE OPTION)

The fireplace can be controlled by the manual

switches located on the fireplace (FIGURE 1).

Main Power Switch

Main ON/OFF switch, activates the flame effect.

SWITCH” activates the Level 2 function.

Level 2: The flame effect remains on, the Purifire

is activated if Purifire switch is in the “-“ position.

Heater remains off.

REMOTE CONTROL

The 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 3).

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 the right hand steel curtain to the side of the unit.

(FIGURE 4)

3. Locate manual controls refer to FIGURE 5.

4. Activate main power switch, (“ ” position is “ON”, “ ” position

is “OFF”) red Level 1 indicator light will flash.

5. Press and hold the ON switch marked “ ” for five seconds.

The red Level 2 indicator light will flash.

6. Press the ON button located on the remote control transmitter

(FIGURE 3). This will synchronize the remote control

transmitter and receiver.

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 Purifire is activated if Purifire switch is in the

“-“ position. Heater remains off.

Level 3: The flame effect remains on, the Purifire is activated if Purifire switch is in the

“-“ position. the heater is set to the high heat setting.

RESETTING THE TEMPERTURE CUTOUT SWITCH

The heater on this fireplace is protected with a safety device to prevent overheating.

Should the heater overheat, a red light (Fig. 4) will be activated and an automatic cut

out will turn the heater off. The heater will re-activate once the heater has cooled. The

overheat cutout will be triggered if the filter is dirty.

WALL MOUNTED CONTROLS

The fireplace can be installed with wall mounted controls. These controls include wall

switches and thermostats. (see installation guide for details)

A. Wall Mounted Switches

This model may be installed such that a wall mounted switch activates the flame effect

and a wall mounted heater switch activates the heater. A wall mounted switch can also

be installed to operate the heater independent of the flame.

B. Wall Mounted Thermostat

This unit may be installed such that a wall mounted thermostat can adjust the heat

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 in this position to

maintain the room temperature at this setting. For additional heat, turn the thermostat

clockwise until you hear the click again and the heater will turn on. To turn the heater

off, turn the thermostat counter clockwise all the way, and/or turn the manual heater

switch on the unit to the OFF position.

VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH LOCATION

IMPORTANT:

Ensure that the incoming power supply voltage

matches the setting of the voltage selector

switch.

NOTE:

The voltage selector switch is located

inside the exhaust panel on the top

right hand corner (FIGURE 6).

CAUTION:

When changing the voltage selector

switch from 240 volts to 120 volts

ensure that the power supply is turned

off.

NOTE:

Carefully insert a flat headed screwdriver inside the exhaust panel to change the switch

from 240 volts (230 position) to 120 volts (115 position).

If the fireplace was operating prior to servicing allow at least 10 minutes for light bulbs

and heating elements to cool off to avoid accidental burning of skin.

Disconnect circuit power before attempting any maintenance or cleaning to reduce the

risk of electric shock or damage to persons.

TO REPLACE MAIN ON/OFF SWITCH

1. Open the steel curtains (remove glass doors if applicable).

2. Remove the log grate retaining screws and remove the log grate.

3. Pull the rear edge of the log set forward by grasping the ember bed by the sides

(handle the log set only by the ember bed and not the logs) and pulling firmly

until the rear tab pops out from under the back ledge, then lift out.

4. Disconnect the log set LED wire harness from unit. (DX MODELS ONLY)

5. Remove the light bulb closest to the main on/off switch for easier access.

6. Locate the switch cover plate and remove the mounting screws.

7. Remove the switch cover plate by releasing assembly from the quick connect

connection.

8. Reach hand into the opening and locate the main on/off switch.

9. Depress the retainer clips on the rear of the switch and push the switch out of the

bottom cover.

10.Disconnect the wiring connections noting their original locations.

11.Properly orientate the new switch and connect all of the wiring connections.

12.Reassemble in the reverse order as above.

NOTE: To replace the log set re-connect the logset LED wire harness to the unit,

insert the front edge, pushing back down until the rear tab snaps under the back

ledge and the logs are resting against the mirror.
