NOTICE: You must light the pilot 

before using the hand-held re-

mote control unit. See 

Lighting 

Instructions

 on page 10.

After lighting, let pilot flame burn for about 

one minute. Turn control knob to ON posi-

tion. Adjust flame adjustment knob anywhere 

between  HI  and  LO.  Flip AUTO/OFF/ON 

switch  to AUTO.  Slide  the  selector  switch 

to  the  REMOTE  position  (see  Figure  13).  

Note: 

The  burner  may  light  if  hand-held 

remote 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.

INSPECTING BURNERS

Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame pat-

terns often.

PILOT FLAME PATTERN

You  can  view  the  pilot  light  through  the  pilot 

viewing hole on the pilot bracket. This is located 

under the front grate bar on the right side of the 

log set.
Figure  15  shows  a  correct  pilot  flame  pattern. 

Figure 16 shows an incorrect pilot flame pattern. 

The incorrect pilot flame is not touching the ther-

mocouple. This will cause the thermocouple to 

cool. When the thermocouple cools, the appliance 

will shut down.
If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in 

Figure 16
•  turn appliance off (see

 To Turn Off Gas to 

Appliance, 

page 10)

•  see 

Troubleshooting

, page 13

Note:

 The pilot flame on natural gas units will 

have a slight curve but flames should be blue and 

have no yellow or orange color.

locked state, the light will not light up when 

any button is pressed. 

To Unlock
