Did you all know that if you call Dimplex? 1-800-668-6663.... They will send you a free remote for your fireplace.
Have your model number and maybe serial number ready. Tell them you didn't get one with your fireplace. We have done this with two 5th wheels.
You will have to pull the fireplace out and plug this little box into the wall and plug the fireplace into that. Unless you can get to the fireplace plug without doing that. It is worth the trouble for us.
We don't have to put our glasses on to see the switch to turn it on.
