Mantels
The height that a combustible mantel is fitted above the
fireplace is dependent on the depth of the mantel. This
also applies to the distance between the mantel leg (if
fitted) and the fireplace.
For correct mounting height and width, refer to Figure
2a and 2b.

Do not exceed 60 Watts per bulb. Use of
higher-rated bulbs may result in fire, caus-
ing property damage, personal injury, or
loss of life.
NOTE: For the sake of convenience, you may wish
to consider replacing all the light bulbs if one of
them burns out.
1. Turn OFF the power to the unit at the main service
panel.
2. If the fireplace has been operating, allow it to cool.
3. Open glass (if applicable); open steel curtain.
4. Remove the log. Remove the two (2) screws, one
on each side of the ember bed/plate support log set
down. Remove the ember bed/plate support log set.
5. Examine the bulbs to determine which one(s) need
to be replaced (if you are not going to replace all).
7. Install new light bulb(s) by screwing in while holding
the socket.
8. Reinstall the ember bed, log set, glass door, and
steel curtain.

BREF Electric Fireplace
Operating Instructions
For units with ceramic log sets. (Figs. 6 & 7)
3. Relearn
This set of instructions applies to units with ceramic log
sets. (Figs. 6 & 7) The control compartment is located
inside the fireplace behind the steel curtain near the
left front corner. To access the controls, simply slide the
steel curtain open.
The BREF36R and BREF42R fireplaces with integral
remote control have pre-programmed, matched-pair
receiver/transmitters already set with randomly selected
house codes. It is highly unlikely that the fireplace code
will ever need to be relearned. If the fireplace needs to
relearn receiver/transmitter house codes, perform the
following steps:
Control Panel
1. ON/OFF Switch
3. Learn
1. Be sure there is power to the fireplace.
2. Be sure there is a good battery in the transmitter
(hand-held remote).
3. Open the battery compartment of the remote.
4. Press and release the small button located in the top
left corner. This will randomly select a new house
code in the remote transmitter.
5. Close the remote transmitter battery compartment.
2. Heater Control
FP1451a
4. ON/OFF
6. Press either the ON or OFF button on the remote
transmitter, and the Learn button on the fireplace at
the same time. The fireplace is now ready to accept
commands from the remote transmitter.
Fig. 12 Control panel.
1. ON/OFF Switch
The ON/OFF switch is for supplying power to light ef-
fects of the fireplace. This switch is normally illuminated
to indicate there is electrical power to the unit.
4. ON/OFF
The ON/OFF button on the fireplace (below the Learn
button) is to turn the fireplace ON and OFF when the
battery in remote transmitter is weak, or to manually
operate the fireplace without the remote transmitter.
NOTE: The device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
condition:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference,
and
2. This device must accept any interference re-
ceived, including interferences that may cause
undesired operation.
2. Heater Control
The heater control acts to turn the heater ON and OFF,
as well as setting the comfort level in the room.
Turn the knob clockwise form the "OFF" position to
place the heater into operation. The further the knob is
rotated clockwise, the higher the set point temperature.
Turn the knob counterclockwise to lower the set point
temperature. Turn it all the way counterclockwise to turn
the heater function OFF.

Operating Instructions
For all other units.
2. Heater Control
The control compartment is located inside the fireplace
behind the steel curtain near the left front corner. To ac-
cess the controls, simply slide the steel curtain open.
The heater control acts to turn the heater ON and OFF,
as well as setting the comfort level in the room.
Turn the knob clockwise from the "OFF" position to
place the heater into operation. The further the knob is
rotated clockwise, the higher the set point temperature.
Control Panel
1. ON/OFF Switch
Turn the knob counterclockwise to lower the set point
temperature. Turn it all the way counterclockwise to turn
the heater function OFF.
3. Remote Control
If the unit is equipped with an on/off remote control, this
feature is to turn the flame effect on and off remotely
while the switch on the control panel is off. If the control
panel switch is on, this bypasses the remote control.
The receiver and transmitter is a matched-pair that
is pre-programmed and must be replaced together, if
necessary.
