This document is an owner's manual for the Dimplex IgniteXL™ electric fireplace, covering models XLF50, XLF60, XLF74, and XLF100. It provides comprehensive instructions for installation, operation, maintenance, and warranty information.
The Dimplex IgniteXL™ electric fireplace is designed to provide the ambiance of a real fire with the convenience and safety of an electric appliance. It features Comfort$aver™ technology, which automatically adjusts fan speed and heater wattage to precisely match room requirements based on thermostat settings. The heater operates continuously at a low level once the set point is reached, maintaining the desired room temperature. If the room temperature rises significantly (e.g., due to sunlight or a central furnace), the heater will turn off and periodically cycle back on to circulate air until the temperature drops and constant heating is required again. The fan is designed to run continuously while the heater is active. After the heater is turned off, there is a 2-minute cool-down period before the fan completely shuts off. The unit can also be operated in a "Heat Only Mode," where only the heater functions.
The fireplace offers various lighting color combinations, including a "prism" mode that cycles through different colors for the flame base and media lighting. Users can stop the cycling in prism mode to hold a preferred color. The brightness of the lights can also be adjusted.
A Sleep Timer function allows the fireplace to automatically shut off after a preset time, ranging from 30 minutes to 8 hours. The unit also includes a temperature cutoff switch that automatically turns the unit off if it overheats, preventing damage.
The fireplace can be controlled using either manual controls located on the upper right of the unit or an IR multi-function remote control. For correct operation, the remote control must be pointed towards the front of the unit.
Key operational features include:
The unit supports three installation options: partial recess, flush mounted, or sub-surface mounted. Sub-surface mounting should be limited to ½ inch (13 mm) to ensure adequate airflow. The fireplace should be installed a minimum of 8 inches (20.4 cm) from the ceiling. It is recommended to mount the unit between 30 inches (76.2 cm) and 40 inches (101.6 cm) from the ground for an optimal viewing angle.
The fireplace can be direct-wired for 120V or 240V, or installed with a 120V wall switch or plug kit. A dedicated, properly fused 15 Amp circuit is recommended for 120V installations. All wiring must comply with local and national electrical codes. For bathroom installations, the unit must be protected by a GFCI receptacle or circuit and installed away from water sources.
This involves securing the partially reflective glass, evenly distributing the media (large and small) in the media tray for optimal effect, and then placing and securing the front glass. A suction cup and Allen key are provided for this process and should be retained for future maintenance.
Regular maintenance is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of the fireplace.
