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.
Flame Speed Control
Your fireplace features a flame speed control. By
depressing button 1 once you will activate the flame
effect. If this is the first time you use this unit, the visu-
al indicator of the flame effect (A) will be lit up to about
half its height. By repeatedly depressing buttons 2 and
3, you can respectively decrease or increase the flame
effect speed to achieve desired flame effect. Refer to
visual indicator A to monitor relative speed of the flame
effect between the slowest (indicator A showing only
one light) and fastest (indicator A showing all lights lit
up) setting. For added convenience, control board in
your fireplace will remember your last setting on sub-
sequent activation.
Heater Control
Your fireplace features a variable temperature setting
control. By depressing button 4 once, you will have
activated the heater. To change the comfort level in the
room, you can repeatedly depress buttons 5 and 6 to
decrease or increase the temperature setting, respec-
tively (for example, by repeatedly depressing button 6,
you will increase the temperature setting and your
room will feel warmer). To achieve the desired effect,
refer to visual indicator R, as your guide on the level of
the heat output.
NOTE: During each operation of this unit, the unit fea-
tures will initiate the LED, a visual indicator of flame
effect (A), and a visual indicator of the heat output (R).
The LED and all visual indicators will automatically
turn off after 20 seconds.

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,
without 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 Figure 8 & 9 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
