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 fire-
place. 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 op-
eration 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 fire-
place 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.
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 opera-
tion (i.e. children operating the hand-held re-
mote control, etc.). The keypad is locked in ei-
ther on or off. Press the POWER and LOCK
buttons together to turn the unit on or off.

INSPECTING BURNERS
Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame pat-
terns often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 25 shows a correct pilot flame pattern. Figure
26 shows an incorrect pilot flame pattern. The incor-
rect pilot flame is not heating the thermocouple. This
will cause the thermocouple to cool. When the
thermocouple cools, the heater will shut down.
If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Fig-
ure 26
• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appli-
ance, page 15
• see Troubleshooting, pages 19 through 21
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 in-
spect these holes for any blockage 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 present. 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.
