Operation

Electric Stove Manual Control
The manual controls for the stove are located in the upper left-hand corner on the rear of the stove (Figure 1).

A. 3 Position Switch

• The switch has two (2) 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 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.

NOTE : When the heater is switched ON, the heater fan will operate. The heater element may or may not be on, depending on the thermostat control setting (see “Heater Thermostat Control”).

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 3 Position Switch to OFF and waiting five (5) minutes before switching the unit back on.

CAUTION: I f you need to continuously reset the heater, unplug the unit and call Dimplex North America Limited at 1-888-346-7539 for technical support.

NOTE : Ensure that the stove’s 3-Position Switch is set to the remote Control setting (right position – see Figure 1A).

To operate, push the ON button to turn the stove on, and push the OFF button to turn the stove off.

Battery Replacement (Figure 2)
To replace the battery:

1. Slide the battery cover open on the remote control.
2. Correctly install one 12 Volt (A23) battery in the battery holder.
3. Close the battery cover.

Remote Initialization
Follow these steps to initialize or if necessary, re-initialize:

1. Disconnect power to the stove.
2. Ensure 3 Position Switch is in the Remote position (far right).
3. Restore power to stove.
4. Within 10 seconds of restoring power to stove, press the ON button of the Remote Control.

Light Bulb Replacement

• Allow at least five (5) minutes for light bulbs to cool before touching bulbs to avoid accidental burning of skin.
• Light bulbs need to be replaced when you notice a dark section of the flame. There are two (2) bulbs under the log set which generate the flames and embers.
