THERMOSTAT (OPTIONAL)

Make sure the heater switch is on REMOTE
and set the temperature adjustment on wall
thermostat to the desired setting. The thermo-
stat has been electronically calibrated at the fac-
tory and requires no adjustment or leveling.
Upon installation, the thermostat must be al-
lowed to stabilize at room temperature for a
minimum of 30 minutes for proper operation.
See installation instructions on page 22 of this
manual.

GWMS2 WALL MOUNTED

SWITCH (OPTIONAL)

Make sure the heater switch is on REMOTE.
This wall switch works just like the conven-
tional light switch. Flip the switch up for on and
down for off.
Note: Make sure that this switch is not in a po-
sition to be mistaken for a light switch. This
may result in the fireplace being inadvertently
turned on without the proper precautions be-
ing taken. See installation instructions on page
23 of this manual.

THERMOSTAT SERIES (MODEL
GHRCTB)

The hand-held remote can be operated using
either the manual mode (MANU) or thermo-
static mode (AUTO) (see Figure 45). To select
Fahrenheit/Centigrade mode display, carefully
press the 

˚

C/

F mode button with the end of a

paper clip or similar blunt object.

gether 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 to-

gether to turn off the fireplace.

Auto (Thermostatic) Mode

1. Press the POWER and LOCK buttons to-

gether to turn on the hand-held remote
control.

2. Press AUTO button to select this mode.
3. Set the desired room temperature by press-

ing the TEMP + or - buttons.

4. Press the POWER and LOCK buttons to-

gether 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 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 acci-
dental ignition of the fireplace, 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 Centigrade),
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.
