HRC200

The hand-held remote can be operated using 

either the manual mode (MANU) or thermo-

static mode (AUTO) (see Figure 48). To select 

Fahrenheit/Centigrade mode display, carefully 

press the ˚C/˚F mode button with the end of a 

paper clip or similar blunt object.

Manual Mode

1.  Press  the  POWER  and  LOCK  buttons 

together to turn on the hand-held remote 

control.

2.  Press the MANU button to turn on the 

fireplace.

3.  Press  the  POWER  and  LOCK  buttons 

together to turn off the fireplace.

Auto (Thermostatic) Mode

1.  Press  the  POWER  and  LOCK  buttons 

together to turn on the hand-held remote 

control.

2.  Press AUTO button to select this mode.

3.  Set  the  desired  room  temperature  by 

pressing the TEMP + or - buttons.

together to turn off the fireplace

Note

:

 Do not leave the hand-held remote in 

the AUTO mode close to the fireplace. The 

radiant heat from the fireplace will turn off the 

fireplace. Ideally, place the hand-held remote 

in the center of the room facing towards the 

fireplace.

Note:

 Do not hold the hand-held remote for 

a long time. Body temperature will affect its 

operation in the AUTO mode.

Safety Features

When away from home for an extended period 

of time or as a child safety feature to prevent 

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 exceeds 

82 degrees Fahrenheit (28 degrees Centi-

grade), 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 after 8 minutes.
