Instructions
, page 20.

Lighting Instructions
, page 20.
OPTIONAL HAND-HELD
REMOTE OPERATION
Note: Hand-held remote control accessories
must be purchased separately (see Acces-
sories, page 34). Follow instructions included
with the remote control.
NOTICE: you must light the pilot
before using the hand-held re
-
mote control unit. See
Lighting
Instructions
on page 19.
After lighting, let pilot flame burn for about
one minute. Turn control knob to ON position.
Adjust flame adjustment knob anywhere be-
tween HI and LO. Slide the selector switch to
the REMOTE position (see Figure 27).
Note: The burner may light if hand-held re-
mote was on when selector switch was last
turned off. You can now turn the burner on and
off with the hand-held remote control unit.
IMPORTANT:
Do not leave the selector switch
in the REMOTE or ON position when the pilot
is not lit. This will drain the battery.
Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame
patterns often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 28 shows a correct pilot flame pattern.
Figure 29, shows an incorrect pilot flame pat-
tern. The incorrect pilot flame is not properly
heating the thermocouple. When the ther-
mocouple cools, the heater will shut down.
If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown
in Figure 29.
• turn heater off (see
To Turn Off Gas to Ap-
pliance
, page 20)
• see
Troubleshooting
, page 23.
Note: The pilot flame on natural gas units will
have a slight curve, but the flame should be
blue and have no yellow or orange color.
