REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION

BATTERIES AND ACTIVATING THE REMOTE CONTROL

2 x Button Batteries are supplied with the remote control.

Remove the plastic tab to activate.

This remote control uses 2 x Lithium CR2450 or equivalent batteries.

The appliance will flash and emit 'Beeps' to confirm the setting has been received from the remote control unit;

this indicates your remote control is now working.

BUTTON FUNCTIONS, DISPLAY & OPERATION

This remote control, 

 selects flame height and fan speed

in five levels.

The STANDBY / ON button 

 switches the heater between

the STANDBY and ON modes.

Flame height may only be adjusted after at least 30
seconds of operation.

The UP / DOWN buttons 

 control the height of the flame

and heat output. The relationship between flame height and
fan speed is factory preset and cannot be adjusted, there are
five flame / fan settings as listed below.

The remote control temperature sensor (located on the base
of the controller) reads the temperature of where the remote
control is currently located.

For the remote control to be able to function, the appliance ON/OFF button 

 must be in the "ON"

position. Using the remote control to turn off the heater will place the heater into STANDBY mode,
when in this mode the Red Power Indicator 

 

will be on. This is normal.

On initial start-up the appliance default flame
height setting is setting 5 - High. Use the UP /
DOWN buttons 

 

to control the height of the

flame / heat output.

The degrees Celsius room temperature display 

 has a motion activated back light which will

remain illuminated for approximately 5 seconds after a movement is sensed or when a button is
pressed. Frequent illumination of the back light greatly reduces the remote controls operational
battery life, ensure that unnecessary illumination of the display is avoided.

IMPORTANT

a

b

Dispose of used button batteries immediately and safely. Flat batteries can still be dangerous and may be a choking hazard.
Inform others about the risk associated with button batteries and how to keep their children safe.
Remove the batteries if the remote is not going to be use for prolonged periods. This will help prevent damage from leaking 
batteries. If leakage has occurred and corrosion is evident the remote will need to be replaced.
Leaking chemicals are toxic and 

MUST NOT

 be touched or ingested.

NEVER

 mix old and new batteries.

DO NOT

 immerse the remote control in any liquid, this will damage the remote control, rendering it inoperable and voiding 

its warranty.

WARNING KEEP BATTERIES OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

Swallowing may lead to serious injury in as little as 2 hours or death, due to chemical burns 
and potential perforation of the oesophagus.
If you suspect your child has swallowed or inserted a button battery immediately call the
