SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM

FAQ – FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• Why does the fan blow before the heat comes on, and after the heater is turned off?
  Heat and cool gradually. The fan blows when the heater is first turned on, and the heat is still heating up. After the heater turns off, the fan will continue to blow air for 10 seconds. This allows the fireplace to cool slowly, and helps prevent overheating.

• What does the fireplace beep? Can I turn the beeping off?
  The beeps indicate that the signal from the control panel, or remote control, has been received by the fireplace. The beeping cannot be turned off.

• Why doesn’t the fireplace function change when remote control setting changes?
  The fireplace function will only change if there is a beep after pressing the button. If you do not hear a beep, try again. If you hear a beep, the fireplace function will change to match the remote control setting.

• Why does the remote control not work, or only work sometimes?
  Check to make sure the batteries are good. If necessary, change to new batteries. If the remote control is not aimed properly, if you are too far away, or if you are too far off to the side, the signal may not reach the fireplace. Get closer, aim at the upper top corner of the screen (where the red heat indicator light is located), and try again.

• How do I change from high heat to low heater?
  The heater is controlled by the heater button on the control panel, or the heater buttons on the remote control.

• Is the thermostat setting accurate?
  The temperature within a room can vary. Room size, fireplace location, airflow, sunlight, wall type (interior vs. exterior), insulation, etc. all affect temperature. The fireplace setting may not match your home thermostat exactly. This is normal. Try different thermostat setting on your fireplace until you find one that is right for you.
