Read and understand this entire owner’s manual, including all safety information, before plugging in or using this product. Failure to do so could result in electric shock, fire, serious injury, or death.

Power

Plug the power cord into a dedicated 240 Volt 13 Amp (EU/UK) or 10 Amp (AU/NZ) grounded outlet (see IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION). A dedicated circuit is preferred but not essential in all cases. A dedicated circuit will be required if after installation, the circuit breaker trips on a regular basis when heater is operating. Make sure the outlet is in good condition and the plug is not loose. NEVER exceed the maximum amperage for the circuit.

Master Power Switch

Located above the Touch Control Panel is the Master Power Switch. Ensure the rocker switch is pressed in the “On” position prior to operating the fireplace.

Note: After resetting the Master Power Switch or from a loss of power, the fireplace takes 20-30 seconds before the fireplace is fully booted and operational.

Pairing the Remote

  • With the fireplace ON, press and hold the Power button on the fireplace for 5 seconds until you hear a beep from the fireplace. “P1” will be shown on the display.
  • Within 5 seconds of the fireplace beeping, repeatedly press the power button on the remote until the fireplace beeps again.
  • Pairing must be completed within 5 seconds or the fireplace pairing will time out of pairing mode.

Methods of Operation

This electric fireplace can be operated by the FireplaceTouch Control Panel located on the UPPER right corner of the fireplace, or by the battery-powered Remote Control.

Important Warnings

NOTE

When the heater is first turned on, a slight odor may be present. This is normal and should not occur again unless the heater is not used for a long period of time.

Remote Control Battery Information

  • Remote control uses one CR2032 battery (Included)

Adding the Remote Control Battery

  • Looking at the backside of the remote, find the small hole with the paperclip symbol next to it.
  • Using the supplied Push Tool (or a paperclip), push the tool into the small hole until the faceplate of the remote separates from the back plate of the remote.
  • Carefully remove the faceplate of the remote, ensuring the LED at the front of the remote is not damaged.
  • Taking the supplied battery, find the side that has the “+” symbol on it.
  • Making sure that the “+” side of the battery is facing away from the green circuit board of the remote, slide the battery into the battery holder. The “+” of the battery should match the “+” of the battery holder.
  • Carefully place the faceplate back onto the magnetic back plate of the remote, starting with inserting the front of the faceplate.

Replacing the Remote Control Battery

  • Follow the previous steps of adding the remote control battery to open up the remote, exposing the old battery.
  • Using the Push Tool (or a paperclip), push the old battery out of the battery holder.
  • Dispose of the old battery at your local hazardous material processing center.
  • See section “Adding the Remote Control Battery” to add a new battery.

This heater is equipped with a Temperature Limiting Control. Should the heater reach an unsafe temperature, the heater will automatically turn Off.

To Reset:

  • Remove power from the fireplace. Wait 5 minutes. - Turn off the appropriate breaker at the circuit breaker box.
  • Inspect the fireplace to ensure no vents are blocked or clogged with dust or lint. Using a vacuum can help clear the areas if needed.
  • Turn breaker switch back ON.
  • If problem continues, have the wiring and outlet inspected by a professional.
