This remote control has a range of approximately 50ft. (15.25m), it does not have to be pointed at the fireplace and can pass through most obstacles (including walls). It is supplied with one of 243 independent frequencies to prevent interference with other units. The frequency designation is indicated on the back of the transmitter (FIGURE 1). A. Remote Control Initialization This procedure is required every time there is a loss of power to the remote control in the fireplace (i.e. power failure, breaker tripped, main power switch is turned off) 1. Ensure that power is supplied through main service panel. 2. Access the manual controls, (remove glass doors if applicable) pull right hand edge of right hand steel curtain towards the center of unit. (FIGURE 2) 3. Locate manual controls refer to FIGURE 3. FIGURE 1 4. Activate main power switch, red indicator light 1 will flash. 5. Press ON button located on the remote control transmitter (FIGURE 1). This will synchronize the remote control transmitter and receiver. B. Remote Control Usage The remote control operates the fireplace levels sequentially. The level is increased every time the ON button on the transmitter is pressed. The fireplace can be turned off at any point by pressing the OFF button on the remote control transmitter. FIGURE 2 2 Level 1: The flame effect is turned on and the first red indicator light is activated. Level 2: The flame effect remains on, the heater is activated to the low heat setting, and the first and second red indicator lights are activated. Level 3: The flame effect remains on, the heater is set to the high heat setting, and all three red indicator lights are activated. MANUAL CONTROLS FIGURE 3 The fireplace can also be controlled in a similar manner to the remote control with switches located on the fireplace (FIGURE3). A. Main Power Switch ALL MODELS WITH REMOTE CONTROL. Main on/off switch, supplies power to the remote control receiving unit. When placed in the on position level 1 indicator will flash. ALL MODELS WITHOUT REMOTE CONTROL. Main on/off switch, activates the flame effect. B. Heater Control Switch ALL MODELS WITH REMOTE CONTROL. Operates fireplace in the same manner as the remote control transmitter. Pressing the left side of this switch has the same effect as the ON button on the remote control and the right side has the same effect as the OFF button of the remote control. Pressing once to the left activates Level 1, twice activates Level 2, three times activates Level 3. Pressing to the right turns the fireplace off. ALL MODELS WITHOUT REMOTE CONTROL. Heater ON/OFF switch, activates heater to high level. 3 WALL MOUNTED CONTROLS The fireplace can be installed with wall-mounted controls in addition to the controls provided. These controls include wall switches and thermostats. A. Wall Mounted Thermostats ALL MODELS WITH REMOTE CONTROL. When the fireplace is set to Level 2, or Level 3 the wall mounted thermostat will control the heat output of the unit. When the fireplace is set to Level 2, or 3 the heater will not activate until the wall mounted thermostat senses an ambient temperature lower than the temperature to which it is set. B. Wall Mounted Switches ALL MODELS WITHOUT REMOTE CONTROL ONLY. This model may be installed such that a wallmounted switch activates the flame effect and a wall mounted thermostat activates the heater. RESETTING THE TEMPERATURE CUTOUT SWITCH The heater on this fireplace is protected with a safety device to prevent overheating. 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 Main Power switch (FIGURE 3) to OFF and waiting 5 minutes before switching it to ON. The remote control will need to be re-initialized (see page 2) CAUTION • If you need to continuously reset the heater, disconnect the power at the main service panel and call your local dealer. 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. 4 MAINTENANCE WARNING • Disconnect all power coming to fireplace at main service panel before attempting any maintenance or cleaning to reduce risk of fire, electric shock or damage to persons Light Bulb Replacement: NOTE • Allow at least 5 minutes for light bulbs to cool off before touching bulbs to avoid accidental burning of skin. Light bulbs need to be replaced when you notice a dark section of the flame. There are four bulbs under the log set which generate the flames and embers. Tool Requirements: Slot Screw Driver Bulb Requirements: Quantity of 4 clear chandelier or candelabra bulbs with an E-12 (small) socket base, 60 watt rating. Example: GE 60BC or Philips 60CTC. CAUTION • Do not exceed 60 watts per bulb. • When handling log only apply force to the ember bed section not directly to the logs. Helpful Hints It is a good idea to replace all light bulbs at one time if they are close to the end of their rated life. Group replacement will reduce the number of times you need to open the unit to replace light bulbs. Long life bulbs are recommended to reduce the frequency of bulb changes. 5 To access the light bulb area: 1. Open steel curtain (remove glass doors if applicable). 2. Remove two screws on log grate and remove log grate (FIGURE 4). 3. Pull rear edge of ember bed up and forward by grasping ember bed by the sides (handle the logset only by the emberbed and not the logs) and pulling solidly until the rear tab pops out from under the back ledge, then lift out. (FIGURE 5) 4. Examine the bulbs to determine which bulbs require replacement. FIGURE 4 5. Unscrew bulbs counter clockwise. 6. Insert new bulbs. 7. Replace the log by inserting front edge and pushing the back down until rear tab snaps under back ledge (FIGURE 5) and the logs are resting against mirror. 8. Replace log grate using two screws previously removed. Mirror Cleaning: FIGURE 5 The mirror is cleaned in the factory during the assembly operation. During shipment, installation, handling, etc., the mirror surface may collect dust particles; these can be removed by buffing lightly with a clean dry cloth. To remove fingerprints or other marks, the mirror can be cleaned with a damp cloth using good quality household glass cleaner. The mirror should be completely dried with a lint free cloth or paper towel. CAUTION • Do not use abrasive cleaners on mirror surface or spray liquids directly onto any surface. 6 WARRANTY Dimplex Optiflame Electric Fireplaces are tested and inspected prior to shipment and are guaranteed from defect to the purchaser of each new product.
