OPERATION FEATURES
Special Features of the valve kits control module
All valve kits modules have (2) special features built into the system as follows:
1. CONTINUOUS PILOT FEATURE:
The AFVK-SP, AFVK-SP-HL & AFVK-SP-MHL valve kits have a continuous pilot
feature that may be activated in cold climate conditions or to maintain a draft in
the chimney. The continuous pilot can be activated by the
following two methods.
1.Switch on the Front Valve Kit
The Continuous Pilot feature may be activated by placing the
”Off/Continuous Pilot” switch located on the front of the valve kit in the
“Continuous Pilot” position. See Fig. 20. When this switch is turned to the
Continuous pilot position the pilot will immediately begin sparking to light the pilot
and the pilot will remain ON.
2.Button on the Hand Held Remote
To use the continuous pilot feature from the hand held remote control
ensure the “Off/Remote” switch on the front of the valve kit is in the
“remote” position. See Fig. 20. Simply press the button on the hand held remote
marked “Continuous Pilot” (See Fig. 21). The pilot will immediately begin sparking
to light the pilot and the pilot will remain ON.
Note: 7-Day On-Demand Pilot
When the control module is set in the Continuous Pilot mode (either manually or
by remote control), a 7-day countdown timer will be started. After 7-days if the
main flame has not been turned ON, the control module will turn the pilot OFF. If
the main flame is turned ON during the 7-day countdown, the timer is reset and
the cycle restarted again.

2. REMOTE CONTROL FEATURE:
The AFVK-SP, AFVK-SP-HL, or AFVK-SP-MHL comes with a remote control transmitter. This remote is already
programmed to operate your valve kit directly out of the box.
The valve kit module has a built in remote control receiver that allows the user to program a hand held remote transmitter
to the appliance at any time during or after installation of the appliance.
1. There is a switch located on the front of the valve kit face plate that reads OFF/REMOTE. See Fig. 20.
2. When the OFF/REMOTE switch is in the OFF position the valve kit will operate from the rocker switch in the center of
the face plate.
Note:
Fig. 13 page 6 (“O” is Off and “I” is for Ignite)
3. When the OFF/REMOTE switch is in the REMOTE position the appliance will operate from the Remote Control
transmitter.
Note:
The valve kit module must be programmed to the Remote Control transmitter.
4. If needed, program the module (Make sure the batteries have been installed in the battery pack). Locate the learn
button on the module (See Fig. 14). Press and release the learn button there will be a beep sound from the
module. Then press any button on the remote transmitter. Once the modules internal receiver accepts the
transmitter code, there will be a series of rapid beeps.
5. The remote system is ready for use.
MAINTENANCE OF YOUR AFVK-SP SERIES VALVE KIT SYSTEM
1. Your system should be checked once a year (At the start of the heating season) for proper operation by a qualified
service representative.
2. Replace all batteries at the start of the season. Items to check: electronic valve operation, Spark to pilot operation,
ON/OFF switch operation, damper operation, visual check of the burner and gas connections for leaks.
