Frequently Asked Questions
ClassicFlame remote works for flame but not heat control — cause?
Partial button failure where some functions work and others do not usually indicates a fault in the remote circuit board rather than a dead battery. Replace the remote.
ClassicFlame remote stopped working after a firmware update — possible?
ClassicFlame consumer fireplaces do not receive firmware updates via the remote. If the remote stopped working suddenly, the most likely cause is a dead battery or the remote was dropped and damaged internally.
Can I use a universal remote with my ClassicFlame fireplace?
Some universal fireplace remote controls list ClassicFlame or Twin-Star International compatibility. Check the universal remote packaging for listed compatible brands before purchasing.
