to Prevent 
Accidental 
Ignition

Note:

 Do not leave the hand-held remote in 

the AUTO  mode  close  to  the  fireplace. The 

radiant heat from the fireplace will turn off the 

fireplace. Ideally, place the hand-held remote 

in the center of the room facing towards the 

fireplace.

Note:

 Do not hold the hand-held remote for 

a long time. Body temperature will affect its 

operation in the AUTO mode.

Safety Features

When away from home for an extended period 

of time or as a child safety feature to prevent 

accidental ignition of the fireplace, the receiver 

ON/OFF/REMOTE switch should be in the 

OFF position.

Auto Shutoff Feature

1.  If the average room temperature exceeds 

82 degrees Fahrenheit (28 degrees Centi-

grade), the hand-held remote control will 

perform  a  safety  override  and  shut  the 

fireplace off. This feature is not available 

in the MANU mode.

2.  The receiver continuously receives signals 

from the hand-held remote to control the 

room temperature. If the hand-held remote 

is misplaced, obstructed or for any reason 

cannot transmit to the receiver, the receiver 

will shut off the fireplace after 8 minutes.

OPERATING HEATER

Continued 

Key Pad Lock Feature

This  feature  allows  the  user  to  lock/unlock 

the  keypad  on  the  hand-held  remote  in  the 

MANU or AUTO mode to prevent inadvertent 

operation (i.e. children operating the hand-held 

remote control, etc.). The keypad is locked in 

either on or off. Press the POWER and LOCK 

buttons together to turn the unit on or off.

INSPECTING BURNERS

Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame pat-

terns often.

PILOT FLAME PATTERN

Figure  22  shows  a  correct  pilot  flame  pattern. 

Figure 23 shows an incorrect pilot flame pattern. 

The  incorrect  pilot  flame  is  not  touching  the 

thermocouple. This will cause the thermocouple 

to cool. When the thermocouple cools, the heater 

will shut down.
If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in 

Figure 23
•  turn heater off (see 

To Turn Off Gas to Appli-

ance

, page 17) 

•  see

 Troubleshooting

, page 22

Note: 

The pilot flame on natural gas units will 

have a slight curve, but flame should be blue and 

have no yellow or orange color.
