OPERATION

The controls are located on the upper right of the fireplace. (Figure 1)

1.  3-Position Switch
   The switch has two ON positions marked with “ I “ and “ II “ . The “ I “ position is for manual operation. In this position the built-in remote control is by-passed.
   The “ II “ position is for operating the unit with the provided remote control.
   When in the “ II “ 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.

2.  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.
   NOTE: The fan will continue running even when the heater is not, when the Heater Switch is in the ON position.

3.  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 temper-ature, 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 clock-wise 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 3-Position 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 first used. This odor is a normal condition caused by initial heating of internal heater parts and will not occur again.

Remote Operation
The fireplace is supplied with an integrated On/Off remote control.

! NOTE: Ensure that the fireplace 3 position switch is set to the remote control setting, “II”. To operate, push the ON button to turn fireplace on, push the OFF button to turn the fireplace off.
! NOTE: Before attempting any operation with the remote control, pull the plastic insulator strip out from between the remote casing and battery cover (Figure 5).
Remote Control Initialization/Reprogram
In the event that your remote control ceases to operate your fireplace, follow these steps to reinitialize the remote control and the remote control receiver in the fireplace:

1.  Place the 3-Position Switch (Figure 1A) in the OFF (“O”) position.
2.  Wait a minimum of 5 seconds and then place the 3-Po-sition Switch in the Remote Control position.
3.  Within 10 seconds of changing the switch position, press the ON button located on the remote control (Figure 2). This will synchronize the remote control and the fireplace 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:

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

Battery must be recycled or disposed of properly. Check with your Local Authority or Retailer for recyc-ling advice in your area

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Disconnect power before attempting any maintenance or cleaning to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or damage to persons.
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 fingerprints 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.
