Operating Instructions
• Fireplace Control Functions
All of the fireplace control functions can be accessed in two (2) ways:
• Using a multifunction remote control unit.
• Using touchpad control panel, located in the lower right-hand corner of the fire-
place behind the door front.
The infrared remote control relies on a line of sight and must be pointed at the
touchpad control panel of the fireplace to work. The remote control unit has all the
controls required to operate any electronic features on the unit. If you prefer to use
the touchpad control on the fireplace unit itself, open the doors to access the touch-
pad buttons. The layout of the buttons on touchpads and remote control unit can be
seen in Figures 11 & 12, respectively.
The fireplace features conveniently separate controls for flame effect and for heater
control. This allows you to operate the unit in three (3) different modes:
• As a full-featured fireplace - both flame effect and heater are on. This mode
allows you to enjoy the look of the fire along with the heat output of a heater.
• As a visual effect - only flame effect is on, the heater is off. We recommend this
mode for warm weather application, when you want the ambiance of a fire, with-
out any heat output.
• As a heater - only heater is on, while the flame effect is off. This mode allows you
to use your fireplace as an electric heater, without any flame effect
Refer to Figures 11 & 12 for locations of the buttons on both, the touchpad and
remote control unit, described in the following operating instructions. Note that in
both cases, button numbers as shown in the figures are the same.
NOTE: When the flame or heater is activated by buttons 1 or 4 on either the remote
control or touchpad control panel, the respective LED lights up to indicate and allow
settings to be changed. After 20 seconds of inactivity, a feature of the fireplace is for
the LED visuals on the touchpad control panel to go out. You must activate the fire-
place electronics by depressing any buttons on the remote control or the touchpad
control panel for the LED visuals to reappear before any settings can be made or
changed.
