Manual flame height adjustment using various modes
Press the high button to switch the fire on or to adjust the flame height upwards; use the low button to
lower the flame height or until only the pilot light is burning. The manual control function overrides all
functions. Simply press the
high or low button in order to activate the manual control function. The trans-
mit symbol will then appear at the top left of the display. Just press the timer or auto button to adjust set-
tings in the timer or auto function. When the auto function is activated by pressing the auto button, the set
temperature will appear in the display for a short time, before changing to the ambient temperature. There
is only one adjustment option for the temperature (setting auto mode, see paragraph 2) for both heating pe-
riods

and P2

and the same applies in the timer mode. When the timer mode has been activated, the
auto button can be pressed to check the temperature setting and the timer button can then be pressed again
to return to the timer mode. When the timer mode is in the
)
position ( “off” outside the heating period),
the gas valve will now be turned back to the pilot light setting.
Changing the battery
When the text BAT appears in the top right of the display, replace the battery with a new one.
Remote control : 1x 9V block (alkaline recommended)
Receiver : 4x AA 1.5V (alkaline recommended)
NB
Before settings are adjusted by means of the auto and timer modes, press one of the high/low buttons in
order to see whether the transmit symbol appears in the top left of the display, and the green LED on the
receiver (See Page 14 diagram 6-F1). This makes it possible to check whether the whole remote control/
receiver combination is working properly.
The temperature is controlled by the activity of the gas block motor in adjusting the appropriate flame
height for a specific length of time. Flame height is determined by variables such as the size of the room,
capacity of the fire, battery voltage, etc. The remote control measures how quickly the room temperature
increases when the fire is on and activates the gas block motor for a longer or shorter time during the fol-
lowing heating period (for better flame height adjustment). After a number of periods, the fire will keep on
burning at “low”, or between the “low” period and “off”, when the heat is sufficient to maintain the pre-set
heat.
Connections
The right-angled connectors (D) of the receiver wires must be attached to the flat 6.3 mm & 4.8 mm con-
nections linked to the motor. The model with thermostat and timer must only be used in combination with
the GV 34 gas block or a modified (motorized) GV 36 gas block, and then only with a cover with micro
switch connection. The connectors (P) must be coupled to the flat 2.7 mm connectors on the micro switch
for this purpose.
