INSPECTING BURNERS
Note: The pilot flame on natural gas units will
have a slight curve, but flame should be blue
and have no yellow or orange color.
BURNER PRIMARY AIR HOLES
Air is drawn into the burner through the holes
in the fitting at the burner entrance. These
holes may become blocked with dust or lint.
Periodically inspect these holes for any block-
age and clean if needed. Blocked air holes
will create soot.
MAIN BURNER
Periodically inspect all burner flame holes with
the heater running. All slotted burner flame
holes should be open with yellow flame pres
-
ent. All round burner flame holes should be
open with a small blue flame present. Some
burner flame holes may become blocked by
debris or rust, with no flame present. If so,
turn off heater and let cool. Remove blockage.
Blocked burner flame holes will create soot.

OPERATION
Continued
accidental ignition of the fireplace, the receiver
ON/OFF/REMOTE switch should be in the
OFF position.
Auto Shutoff Feature
1. If the average room temperature reaches
a range of 82° F (28° C) to 92° F (33° C),
the hand-held remote control will perform a
safety override and shut the fireplace off. This
feature is not available in the MANU mode.
2. The receiver continuously receives signals
from the hand-held remote to control the
room temperature. If the hand-held remote
is misplaced, obstructed or for any reason
cannot transmit to the receiver, the receiver
will shut off the fireplace. This will occur in 8
or more minutes depending upon location of
remote transmitter and strength of batteries.
Key Pad Lock Feature
This feature allows the user to lock/unlock the
keypad on the hand-held remote in the MANU
or AUTO mode to prevent inadvertent op
-
eration (i.e. children operating the hand-held
remote control, etc.). The keypad is locked in
either on or off. Press the POWER and LOCK
buttons together to turn the unit on or off.
Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame
patterns often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 25 shows a correct pilot flame pattern.
Figure 26 shows an incorrect pilot flame pat

tern. The incorrect pilot flame is not heating
the thermocouple. This will cause the thermo

couple to cool. When the thermocouple cools,
the heater will shut down.
