TABLE OF CONTENTS

Remote Control

The replace 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

replace 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, pull the plastic insulator strip out from between

the remote casing and battery cover (Figure 2).

To operate, push the ON button to turn replace on, push

the OFF button to turn the replace off.

!NOTE: Ensure that the replace Main ON/OFF

switch is set to the remote control setting.

Remote Control Initialization/Reprogramming

If the hand held transmitter or receiver board has been

replaced, follow these steps to initialize the transmitter and

receiver:

Place the1. Main ON/OFF Switch (Figure 1A) in the OFF

(“O”) position.

Wait a minimum of ve (5) seconds and then place 2.

the Main ON/OFF Switch in the Remote Control

position.

Within3. 10 seconds of changing the switch position,

press the ON button located on the remote control

transmitter (Figure 2).

This will synchronize the remote control transmitter and the

replace receiver.

!NOTE: You will have only 10 seconds to perform this

last step. Failure to do so will result in these steps

needing to be followed again.

Battery Replacement

To replace the battery:

Slide battery cover open on the hand held transmitter1.

(Figure 2).

Install one (1) 12-Volt (A23) battery in the battery 2.

holder.

Close the battery cover3.

Battery must be recycled or disposed of properly.

Check with your Local Authority or Retailer for

recycling advice in your area.

OPERATION

To access the controls, swing down the front cover panel

located on the lower front of the replace. (Figure 1)

A. Main ON/OFF Switch

The switch has two ON positions marked with and

“Manual”. The “Manual“ position is for manual operation.

In this position the built-in remote control is by-passed.

The position is for operating the unit with the provided

remote control.

When in position the unit is operated with the ON and

OFF buttons of the remote control. When the switch is in

the center position the unit is off.

B. Heater ON/OFF Switch

The Heater ON/OFF Switch supplies power to the heater

fan and the heater element. When the switch is in the ON

position the heater operates if the thermostat calls for heat.

C. 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 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

clockwise until you hear the click again and the heater will

turn on.

Resetting The Temperature Cutoff Switch

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 ON/OFF

Switch to OFF and waiting 5 minutes before switching the

unit back on.

CAUTION: If you need to continuously reset the heater,

unplug the unit and call technical support at 1-888-346-

7539.

!NOTE: The heater may emit a slight, harmless odor

when rst used. This odor is a normal condition caused

by initial heating of internal heater parts and will not occur

again.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Disconnect power before attempting any

maintenance or cleaning to reduce the risk of re, electric

shock or damage to persons.

Light Bulb Replacement

Allow at least 5 minutes for light bulbs to cool off before

touching bulbs to avoid accidental burning of skin.

Light bulbs need to be replaced when you notice a dark

section of the ame or when the clarity and detail of the log

exterior disappears. There are two (2) bulbs under the log

set which generate the ames and embers.

Helpful Hints

It is a good idea to replace all light bulbs at one time if they

are close to the end of their rated life. Group replacement

will reduce the number of times you need to open the unit

to replace light bulbs.

Bulb Requirements

Quantity of 2 clear chandelier or candelabra bulbs with

an J-12 (small) socket base, 60 watt rating. Example GE

60BC or Philips 60 CTC.

To Replace The Light Bulbs

Unplug the unit from power outlet.1.

On the back of the Compact Fireplace remove the 2.

screws from the light access cover (Figure 11)

Remove the light access cover.3.

Reach into the opening, locate and examine the bulbs4.

to determine which bulb(s) require replacement.

Unscrew the bulb(s) counter clockwise.5.

Insert new bulb(s).6.

Install the light access cover and install the screws.7.

Glass Cleaning

The glass is cleaned in the factory during the assembly

operation. During shipment, installation, handling, etc., the

front glass panel may collect dust particles; these can be

removed by dusting lightly with a clean dry cloth.

To remove ngerprints or other marks, the front glass panel

can be cleaned with a damp cloth. The front glass panel

should be completely dried with a lint free cloth to prevent

water spots. To prevent scratching, do not use abrasive

cleaners or spray liquids on the clear door surface.

Compact Fireplace Surface Cleaning

Use warm water only to clean painted surfaces of the

Compact Fireplace. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Servicing

Except for light bulb replacement and cleaning described

above, an authorized service representative should perform

any other servicing.
