*=Optional Feature

Lights*

If your appliance is equipped with lighting features, use 

this function to adjust them to your desired intensity.  The 

lights can be adjusted whether the flame is on or off.

Power Vent*

Power Vent technology makes it possible to install a gas 
appliance virtually anywhere.  The Power Vent is a fan 
powered accessory that pulls exhaust from the appliance 

providing longer and more flexible venting configurations. 

A Power Vent is a standard accessory on some products 

and an option on others.  When a Power Vent is detected, 

a pre-purge of 120 seconds is automatically required. 

 

During this time, the power icon is temporarily replaced 

with 2MIN, 90s, 60s, and 30s, denoting the countdown 

until the appliance turns on.  All other functions, except 

for  TURN  FLAME  OFF  are  disabled  during  this  time.

   

The Power Vent is always ON when the flame is ON.  
When  the  flame  is  turned  off,  a  post-purge  time  of 

approximately 20 minutes will occur.

Cold-climate function and battery backup are disabled if 
a Power Vent is used.

Fan Speed*

If  your  appliance  is  equipped  with  the  fan  feature,  use 

this function to increase or decrease the amount of heat 
released into your room.  A built-in delay timer will turn 
the fan on three minutes after your appliance has been 
running to prevent cool air from being pushed into the 

room. If the flame is turned off with the fan ON, the fan 

will continue to run for 12 minutes then shutdown as long 

as the flame stays off. 
Your  appliance  will  remember  the  previous  fan  speed 

setting and automatically adjust to that level 3 minutes 
after start-up.

Timer

For your convenience a timer can be set up to 180 min-

utes to turn off your fireplace. The timer will turn the flame 

off automatically at the selected preset time.

To  use  the  timer  function,  press  “Timer”  on  the  main 

screen, select time by using up and down arrows, then 

press ON.  To turn the timer off , select timer from main 

screen and select OFF.

FUNCTIONS

FUNCTIONS

Cold Climate

Temperature Display

You can toggle the temperature display between °F and 

°C by tapping on the Room Temperature area.

HOT

This indicates that the appliance is still hot, even when the 

appliance is off.

This function turns on a small pilot flame and keeps the 

air inside your appliance warm while not in use. It is a 
useful feature in colder weather to minimize condensa-
tion on the appliance glass.  

Note:

  This feature is disabled when a Power Vent is 

installed on the appliance.

Note:

  The continuous pilot will automatically turn OFF 

after 166 hours if appliance is not actively used.  If Flame 

ON is activated before 166 hours, the automatic timer will 

re-start.

A child lock is available underneath the battery cover.  When 

the lock is enabled, the screen will lock and no functions can 

be selected.  

INDICATORS

INDICATORS

Remote Control 
Battery 

Remote control battery life indicator. If the batteries on

Refer to Replace Remote Batteries Section.  

Note:

   To  extend  the  time  between  changing  batteries, 

Lithium Ion and rechargable NiMN AAA batteries can be 

used. 

Sorry your appliance did not start.

Try again by pressing Flame On.

Your appliance did not start during the last Flame On 

command.  Verify that you have power and gas to your 

appliance.  Press the Turn Flame ON icon again, verify 

that the appliance accepts command with an audible 

beep, and turns on the flame within 90 seconds.
