1.
After lighting, let pilot flame burn for
about one minute. Turn gas control
knob on the control valve to ON posi-
tion. Turn variable control knob any-
where between HI and LO. Slide the
selector switch to the REMOTE posi-

The burners may light if

when selector switch was last turned
off. You can now turn the burners on
and off with either optional hand-held
remote control unit.
IMPORTANT:
Do not leave the se-
lector switch in the REMOTE posi-

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 left just
inside the louver panel.
Both the GA3700 manual blower and the
DA3610TA 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 DA3610TA Only:
If you are
using DA3610TA blower with optional
thermostat (wall mount or remote con-
trol) 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. Periodically check the
louvers of the firebox and remove any
dust, dirt, or other obstructions that will
hinder the flow of air.

IMPORTANT:
This remote control
has been specially engineered to take
an air temperature sample every 5.5
minutes in the auto mode. It will not
respond immediately to the tempera-
ture setting being turned up or down.
IMPORTANT:
The hand-held remote
control unit must be near the heater.
Do not keep the hand-held remote
control unit too close to the heater.
The thermostat on the hand-held re-
mote control unit will heat up too
quickly and turn the heater off.

To turn the burner off, press the
