Intermittent/standing pilot mode
This fireplace can be switched from intermittent ignition to a standing pilot simply via remote control (
Figure 45
). To
save energy, switch to intermittent mode. To have a standing pilot that will help startup in the winter by warming the
flue and the glass, switch to standing pilot.
The standing pilot mode is indicated by a pilot that comes ON and remains lit when the fireplace is OFF.
Manual bypass of the remote control system
If the batteries of the wall switch or transmitter are low or depleted, the appliance can be turned on manually.
1.
Set the three-position slider switch to the ON position.
2.
This will bypass the remote control feature of the system and the appliance main burner will come on if the gas
valve is in the ON position.
Low Battery Power Detection
The life span of the wall switch batteries depends on several factors:
•
the quality of the batteries used,
•
the number of appliance ignitions,
•
the number of changes to the thermostat set point, etc..
If the wall switch batteries are low, the reciever will emit two beeps when it receives an ON/OFF command from the
transmitter. This is an alert for a low battery condition. When the batteries are replaced, the receiver will emit a the
beep when the ON/OFF key is pressed (
Initializing the remote control system for the first time
).

Adjust the Air Shutter to Ensure Proper Flame Appearance
WARNING
•
Air shutter adjustment should only be performed by a qualified professional service technician.
•
Ensure glass door is in place and sealed during adjustment.
CAUTION
•
Soot will be produced if the air shutter is closed too much. Any damage due to sooting,
resulting from improperly setting the air shutter, is not covered under the warranty.
•
The air shutter rod and nearby appliance surfaces are hot. Exercise caution to avoid injury
while adjusting flame appearance.
Flame Appearance and Sooting
The flame should be blue at the base, and yellow-orange in the body of the flame.
When the fireplace is first lit, the entire flame may be blue and will gradually turn yellow-orange during the first 15
minutes of operation. If the flame remains blue, or if the flame is orange with evidence of sooting (black tip), the air
shutter opening may need to be adjusted.
