GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. This heater is for use on 120 volt circuits and has a grounded plug. An adapter is available from your local electronics store or online supplier for connecting three-blade grounding type plugs to two-slot receptacles. The green grounding lug extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. The adapter should not be used if a three-slot grounded receptacle is available.

Pre-Operation

ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS

•  Voltage: 120 V AC, 60 Hz
•  Watts: 1500 Watts

PACKAGE CONTENTS

Operation

Identifying the control panel

•  The control panel is located on the top left corner of the fireplace/heater unit.
•  The control panel contains the display unit (1), function indicator (2), timer function (3), heater control (4), flames control (5), and main power (6).
•  The display unit (1) displays information about the flame level, timer, and current temperature.

Understanding the function indicator

•  The function indicator (2) has three square LEDs – red, green, and blue. The red LED indicates that the Fahrenheit temperature heating function is running, the green LED indicates that the Celsius temperature heating function is running, and the blue LED indicates that the timer function is engaged.
•  To the right of the three LEDs, is the infrared receiver module which communicates with the remote control to control the heater.

Using the timer function
The timer button (3) allows you to set the amount of time you want the fireplace/heater to run. The timer button (3) operates both the flames and the heater function. If the heater is operating when the timer is set, then the heater is on the timer. If the flames are operating, then the timer will control the flames. If both the heater and flames are operating with the timer set, then the timer controls both the flames and the heater. Pressing the button in sequence will set the timer for a set interval. This interval period is shown in the display (1), and the blue LED light turns on to show that the timer function is engaged. The set intervals are displayed in this table. The timer starts after you select your preferred interval and release the button; note that the display and blue light will turn off after a few seconds. There is no clock function for turning the heater or flames on or off at a specific time.

Using the heater control

•  Pressing the heater button (4) will turn on or off the heat and set the temperature in the thermostat. If you turn off the heater by the main power button (6), the unit will hold your preferred temperature setting in the memory. When the power is turned back on, the heater will turn on at the same setting. There is no speed setting for the heater blower.
•  To convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius: With the heater on, press and release the heater button (4) so that the display (1) and LED function indicator (2) lights turn on (if they are not already on). Then gently press and hold the main power button (6) for five seconds to enter temperature converting mode. The LED indicator flashes five times in red color then changes to green. Green indicates Celsius mode, and Red indicates Fahrenheit mode. In this converting mode, the display (1) flashes. Repeat the same process to convert Celsius temperature into Fahrenheit temperature.
•  To set the thermostat temperature: Press the heater button multiple times to cycle through the temperature settings, starting at 82°F down to 62°F, then Always OFF or Always ON. (27°C – 17°C – OFF – ON). After you release the heater button, your preferred setting will be flashing. Once it stops flashing, and the display goes dark, then the thermostat will be set at your preference (and kept in memory). Note that the “ON” setting keeps the heater always on until the user powers off the unit or the safety sensor turns off the heater to prevent overheating.
•  To turn OFF the Heater while keeping the Flames ON: Press the heater button until you see “OF” in the Control Panel display (1). This indicates the Heater is “OFF”. Flame settings and other features continue to operate as normal.
•  Heater Lock (safety feature): To lock the heating function in the OFF position, with the main power button on, press and hold the heater button (4) for ten seconds. The log lights flash several times to indicate that the heater function is locked. In this mode, there is no heating function but only glowing logs and normal flame control operation.
•  To unlock the heating function, press and hold the heater button (4) for ten seconds. The log lights flash several times and then normal heating function mode is turned on.
  NOTE : After the heater function or power is shutoff the blower will continue to run for several minutes to cool the internal components.

Press the flame button (5) to set the flames for different levels of flame brightness. These flame levels are shown in the display (1). The flame settings are as follows:

•  Regardless of the previous flame setting, when powered off by the main power button, the flames will come on in L4 mode (High) when you turn the heater on.
•  Log Glow Mode: To lock the flame function in the OFF position, with the flame in L4 mode, press and hold the flame button (5) for five seconds. The log lights flash several times to indicate that the flame function is locked. In this mode, there are no flames but only glowing logs. Pressing the flame button in sequence will set the logs for different levels of log brightness. The logs brightness levels are shown in the display (1). The logs settings are as follows:
