Common Questions
10 totalWhat type of batteries does the Duraflame Remote Control use?
The remote control requires two AAA batteries, which are not included with the product. You should always replace both batteries at the same time with fresh ones, and avoid mixing old and new batteries or different types of batteries.
How do I install the batteries in the remote control?
Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote, slide it downwards or press the latch and lift to remove it. Insert two new AAA batteries matching the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals shown in the compartment diagram, then slide the cover back into place until it clicks securely.
Why is my remote not responding to button presses?
The most common causes are dead or incorrectly installed batteries, an obstruction between the remote and appliance, or the remote being out of range. Check that the batteries are installed correctly with proper orientation, replace them with fresh AAA batteries if needed, ensure a clear line of sight to the appliance's IR receiver, and move closer to the appliance.
How do I clean the remote control?
Gently wipe the remote with a soft, dry cloth only. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or wet cloths, as these can damage the remote's surface or internal components.
Is this remote compatible with my Duraflame fireplace model?
The remote is compatible with models P118 10HM9275-M323, 10QI085ARA, 20QI071ARA, and 20HM6007-C240, though the button layout may differ slightly from your original remote while maintaining the same functionality. If your model is not listed or you're unsure about compatibility, contact the seller with photos of your appliance model and original remote.
What wireless communication method does this remote use?
The remote control uses IR (Infrared) wireless communication technology to operate your Duraflame electric fireplace or space heater. You must point the remote directly at the appliance's IR receiver for optimal performance.
