BEFORE YOU BEGIN  

Read this entire manual before you use your new fireplace (especially the section “Safety Precautions” on page 2).  Failure to follow 
the instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death. 

 

Remote Control Transmitter Functions 

 

NOTE

: The Wall Receiver will “beep” once every time 

a Remote Transmitter Key is pressed, signaling that 
the command has been received. 

Identify the four function buttons on the Remote 
Transmitter:

 

 

1. 

ON/OFF KEY

: This button turns 

the system ON or OFF. When 
this button is pressed and the 
system is OFF, the pilot light 
will stay ON if the “Standing Pilot Switch” is in 
the ON position. 

2. 

THERMOSTAT KEY

: This button, when pressed after the ON/OFF KEY is pressed and the 

system is ON, will allow the selection of three modes: Manual Operation, Normal Thermostat 
and Smart Thermostat. 

a. 

Manual Mode

: In this mode, the room temperature is ignored and the fireplace can be turned ON indefinitely. 

The room temperature rise has no effect on this mode.  All other functions such as fan speed control, flame 
height control, secondary burner On/OFF control and Accent Light ON/OFF controls will be manually control-
lable. 

b. 

Normal Thermostat

: In this mode, the fireplace will 

stay functioning until the room temperature in-
creases 1

o

F above the Set Point Temperature. To 

increase the Set Point Temperature, Press the UP 
button until the desired temperature is displayed in 
the SET POINT TEMPERATURE window. The fan 
will turn on 5 minutes after fireplace startup and will 
turn off 12-1/2 minutes after the flames turn off, in 
this mode. The flame height can be adjusted while 
the fireplace is functioning, fan speed can be ad-
justed after 5 minutes of startup. Secondary burner 
can be turned On or Off at any time after startup. 
The Accent Light can be turned on or off any time 
after startup. 

c.

 

Smart Thermostat

: In this mode, all other func-

tions except the flame height adjustment are allowed. Manual flame height adjustment is not allowed in this 
mode.  The Smart Thermostat function adjusts the flame height in accordance to the difference between the 
set point temperature and the actual room temperature.  As the room temperature gets closer to the set point 
temperature, the Smart Function automatically modulates the flame down.

  

3.

 

UP/DOWN KEY: 

This key is used to increase or decrease the Set Point Temperatures, Flame Height and 

to toggle between Accent Light ON/OFF

4.

 

MODE SELECTION KEY: 

This key is used to toggle between the various function icons : Flame 

Height, Fan Speed, Accent Light and Secondary Burner.

 

NOTE: 

The Fan System is an optional accessory for this Fireplace. The Secondary Burner is NOT availa-

ble for this Fireplace. Your Remote Control Transmitter may display the Fan Speed Icon, however, this 
function will not be available unless the Optional Fan System is purchased separately and installed. 
Your remote control may display the Secondary Burner Function icon but it is not available in this 
Fireplace.
