Troubleshooting

Unit does not turn on.

Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Ensure the main power switch (if applicable) is in the 'on' position. Verify that the circuit breaker has not tripped.

No heat is being produced.

Confirm that the heat function is activated via the remote control or unit buttons. Check the thermostat setting to ensure it is set to a desired temperature above the ambient room temperature. Make sure the overheat protection has not been triggered (allow the unit to cool if it has).

Flame or ember bed effects are not working.

Ensure the visual effects are activated. Cycle through the different color and brightness options to confirm functionality. If the issue persists, unplug the unit for a few minutes and then plug it back in.

Remote control is not responding.

Check the battery in the remote control and replace if necessary. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the fireplace insert. Make sure you are within the effective range (up to 4M).

Unit emits an unusual smell.

This may occur during the first few uses as manufacturing residues burn off. If the smell persists after initial use, ensure proper ventilation is maintained and unplug the unit. Contact customer support if the smell is strong or accompanied by smoke.
