After lighting, let pilot flame burn for about one minute. Turn
control knob to ON position. Adjust flame adjustment knob
anywhere between HI and LO. Slide the selector switch to the
REMOTE position (see Figure 52).

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.

turns on. Hold the control button again until burner turns off
(see Figure 53).

the fire is on it will be turned off automatically. In the locked
state, the light will not light up when any button is pressed.

TO UNLOCK

 press both buttons together on hand-held remote

control until the light stops flashing. The hand-held remote is
now unlocked.
