Operating Instructions

Control Panel Location
The control panel is located on the remote control and the control panel of the product.

Remote Control
The remote control allows you to operate the fireplace functions from a distance.

Control Panel
The control panel on the product allows you to directly access and adjust the fireplace functions.

Power
The power button supplies power to all of the fireplace functions. Pressing the power button will put the insert in a standby mode, turning off all functions but retaining the settings in memory. Pressing the power button again will turn on the unit with the retained settings. To disable or re- enable the heater function, press and hold the power button on the control panel for 10 seconds. The ember bed lights will flash multiple times toindicate the status.

Flame
The flame settings can be adjusted to 5 brightness levels and an OFF setting. Settings F5 – F1 decrease in brightness, with F5 being the default setting.

Heater
When first running the heater, there may be an odor. This is normal as the heater has a surface coating on the internal parts. During the first several hours of operation, the coating reacts with the internal parts to permanently protect them. The odor is safe but if you are sensitive to it, it is recommended to run the heater in a well-ventilated area until the odor dissipates.

Timer
The timer button allows you to cycle through different timer settings: 30 minutes, 1 Hour, 2H, 3H, 4H, 5H, 6H, 7H, 8H, 9H, and off (00).
