OPERATION

Note:

 The WRC  receiver  and  hand-held  remote  control  kit 

must be purchased separately (see 

Accessories

, page 34). Follow 

installation instructions on page 22.

1.  Turn equipment shutoff valve to ON position. You can now turn 

the burner on and off with the hand-held remote control unit. 

 

IMPORTANT:

 Be sure to press the ON/OFF buttons on the 

hand-held remote control unit for up to 3 seconds to assure 

proper operation.

2.  Press the ON/OFF button to turn the burner on and off.

OPERATING OPTIONAL 

BLOWER ACCESSORY

Locate the blower controls by opening the lower louver panel 

on the fireplace. Blower controls are located on the left side of 

the switch bracket to the right just inside the louver panel.
The BK manual blower and the BKT thermostatically-controlled 

blower have an ON setting and an OFF setting. The blower 

will only run when the switch is in the ON position. In the OFF 

position, the blower will not operate.

Note for BKT Only:

 

If you are using BKT blower with optional 

thermostat (wall mounted or remote control) for the fireplace, 

your fireplace and blower will not turn on and off at the same 

time. The fireplace may run for several minutes before the blower 

turns on. After the heater modulates to the pilot position, the 

blower will continue to run. The blower will shut off after the 

firebox temperature decreases.
The blower helps distribute heated air from the fireplace. Peri-

odically check the louvers of the firebox and remove any dust, 

dirt or other obstructions that will hinder the flow of air.

BURNER FLAME PATTERN

Burner flames will be steady; not lifting or floating. Flame patterns 

will be different from unit to unit and will vary depending on instal-

lation type and weather conditions.
If the vent configuration is installed incorrectly, the flames will lift 

or "ghost". This can be dangerous. Inspect the flames after instal-

lation to ensure proper installation and performance. 
Figure 45 shows a typical flame pattern. 
If burner flame pattern differs from that described:
•  turn fireplace off (see 

To Turn Off Gas to Appliance

•  see 

Troubleshooting

, page 26

INSPECTING BURNERS

Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame patterns often.

PILOT ASSEMBLY

The pilot assembly is factory preset for the proper flame. Altera-

tions may have occurred during shipping and handling. The pilot 

is located on the left hand side of the burner.
The  flame  must  envelope  1/4"  of  top  of  the  ignitor/sensor  and 

grounding stem. 
If your pilot assembly does not meet these requirements:
•  Turn the adjustment screw marked PILOT clockwise to decrease 

or counterclockwise to increase the flame to proper size (see 

Figure 42, page 23). Do not remove the adjustment screw.
