together to turn on the hand-held remote
control.
2. Press AUTO button to select this mode.
3. Set the desired room temperature by
pressing the TEMP + or - buttons.

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 reach-
es a range of 82° F (28° C) to 92° F (33°
C), 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 sig-
nals 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. This will occur in 8 or more min-
utes depending upon location of remote
transmitter and strength of batteries.
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 op-
eration (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
patterns often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 31 shows a correct pilot flame pattern.
Figure 32 shows an incorrect pilot flame pat-
tern. The incorrect pilot flame is not touching
the thermocouple. This will cause the thermo-
couple to cool. When the thermocouple cools,
the heater will shut down.
If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown
in Figure 32
• turn heater off (see
To Turn Off Gas to Appli-
ance
, page 19 [Manually-Controlled Models]
or page 21 [Remote-Ready Models])
• see
Troubleshooting
, page 26
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.
