American Flame: AF-LMF Series Valve Kits
Rev. 4-26-21 Page 6
FUNCTIONS OF RECEIVER
• With the slide button in the ON position (towards the LEARN button), the system will remain ON until the slide switch is
placed in the OFF or REMOTE position. See Fig. 13.
• With the slide switch in the REMOTE position (centered), the system will only operate if the remote receiver receives
commands from the transmitter.
• With the slide switch in the OFF position (away from the LEARN button), the system is OFF.
• It is suggested that the slide switch be placed in the OFF position if you will be away from your home for an extended
period of time. If the remote receiver is mounted out of children’s reach, placing the slide switch in the OFF position
also functions as a safety “lock-out” by both turning the system OFF and rendering the remote receiver inoperative.
NOTE:
This product is designed for use with an attended hearth appliance or fire feature. Adults must be present when
the Control System is operating. DO NOT program or thermostatically set this Control to operate a hearth appliance
or fire feature when adults are not physically present. Furthermore, DO NOT leave the hearth appliance or fire feature
burning unattended; it may cause damage or serious injury. If an adult is going to be away from the hearth appliance or fire
feature for any length of time, then the transmitter, receiver/control module and application should be in the “OFF” position.
