OPERATING MODE 

SOLAR-GEA stoves have two operating modes: 

MANUAL

 and 

AUTOMATIC

4.9.1.

 

Manual and automatic 

The stove can operate in one of these two different operating modes. 

MANUAL

 mode allows only adjustment of the flame from power 1 to 

power 5, ignoring any ambient temperature measurement. This mode 

is indicated by the message 

MAN

 on the display of the remote control 

(icon 1) 

AUTOMATIC

 mode, on the other hand,  lets you set the desired 

temperature in the room of installation. The stove will control its power 

autonomously in order to reach and maintain the established 

temperature in the room. This mode is indicated by the message 

AUTO

 

on the display of the remote control (icon 1) 
With this mode you can also use an advanced function called 

ECOSTOP

 which is described later (

paragraph 4.8.4.) 

To choose the mode, press button 

4

 

 

 

At each lighting, the stove automatically sets to the 

operating mode that it was in the last time it shut 

down. 

4.9.2.

 

Manual mode 

In this mode you can only vary the thermal power provided by choosing 

the flame power.  
Button 

4

 of the remote control is used to select 

MANUAL

 mode. On 

the display this is indicated by the message 

MAN

 and the flame 

symbol. In this mode, button

 5 

is used to adjust the 5 heating powers 

of the stove. 
Press the upper part of button

 5 

to increase power. Press the lower 

part to decrease power. This variation is indicated by the bars located 

above the flame symbol. Upon reaching the 5th power level, the 

message 

MAX

 appears under the flame symbol. This indicates that 

maximum performance of the stove has been reached. 

In this operating mode, the flame symbol is completely on. 

4.9.2.1.

 

Changing from manual to automatic mode 

To change from 

MANUAL

 to 

AUTOMATIC

 operating mode, just press 

the button 

no. 4 .

 The message 

MAN

 will go off and the message 

AUTO

 will come on. The flame power indicators and the flame icon will 

disappear. The numerals will come on for setting the desired 

temperature (icon 8) 

4.9.3.

 

Automatic mode 

Whereas 

MANUAL

 mode lets you simply choose the thermal power 

provided with no variation of operation over time, 

AUTOMATIC

 

mode lets you set a  temperature to be reached in the room. In 

this operating mode the stove will automatically vary the thermal 

power provided so as to keep the temperature in the room 

constantly at the set value. 
Press button

 4

 on the remote control to select 

AUTOMATIC

 mode. 

This will be shown on the display by the message 

AUTO
