OPERATION AND CARE OF YOUR
APPLIANCE
1. Blower operation may be controlled through
the ON/OFF unit rocker switch, located in the
lower control compartment.
2. These heater rated units are equipped with
a two stage (HI, LOW) gas control valve. To set
the burner at the HI and LOW settings, rotate
the control knob to the desired position.
3. When lit for the first time, the appliance will
emit a slight odor for an hour or two. This is
due to the “burn-in” of the internal paints and
lubricants used in the manufacturing process.
Additionally, when lit for the first time, this
appliance may produce smoke, this is normal
and should be expected. For the first few
hours, operate the appliance with doors and
windows open to encourage the dissipation of
smoke and fumes.
4. Keep lower control compartment clean by
vacuuming or brushing at least twice a year.
More frequent cleanings may be required due
to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding ma-
terials, etc. It is important that the control
compartments, burners and circulating air pas-
sageways of the heater be kept clean.
5. Always turn off gas to pilot before cleaning.
Before relighting, refer to the lighting instruc-
tions in this manual. Instructions are also
found on a pull-out panel located on the floor
of the appliance.
6. Always keep the appliance area clear and
free from combustible materials, gasoline and
other flammable liquids.
7. Remember, this appliance has a continuous
burning pilot flame. Exercise caution when
using products with combustible vapors.
Remote Control Kit
The Model RCL adds the convenience of re-
mote control for your millivolt controlled ap-
pliance. The kit includes a wireless, hand held
transmitter and a receiver that replaces the
wall switch. This special receiver permits ei-
ther manual or remote control modes. Both
receiver and transmitter operate on standard 9
volt batteries (not included). Refer to the RCL
installation instruction for specific details.
Wall Switch Kit
An optional wall switch kit can be installed
along with the millivolt controlled appliances.
The kit consists of a standard UL wall switch
with cover plate. This kit provides for remote
(wall) operation of the appliance. Replace the
wall switch and cover plate of this kit with the
components of the FWSK and you can have true
remote control of your vent-free appliance,
turning it on and off from your favorite easy
chair. The wall switch kit should be installed
along with the appliance. Refer to
Figure 11
and Step 5 for detailed installation instructions.
Rocker Switch Kit
An optional rocker switch kit can be installed
directly on VF4000-CMN/P series appliances
to provide for On and Off operation in lieu of a
wall switch. This kit is designed to install in the
lower control compartment out of view and is
perfect for use in high volume areas such as
lobbies and model homes where limited ac-
cess to the appliance On/Off switch is desir-
able. This kit can be retrofitted to previously
installed appliances and may be temporarily
installed in place of other switch circuitry.
Wall Thermostat Kit
A wall thermostat kit is available for use with
the millivolt controlled appliances. The wall
thermostat is designed to be wired directly to
the appliance millivolt gas control circuit and
provide automatic On/Off control of the appli-
ance to maintain a desired temperature within
the room.
CLEANING AND SERVICING
WARNING: TURN OFF THE UNVENTED
GAS ROOM HEATER AND ALLOW TO COOL
BEFORE CLEANING.
Only limited cleaning will be required under the
normal use of the heater. Dust the front grate, the
top of the piezo cover and the control knob
occasionally. Do not use cleaning fluids to clean
the logs or any other part of the room heater.
Remove the log assembly, gently handling by
holding each log at each end. Use a vacuum
cleaner to remove loose particles from the base
and from around the burners. Gloves are rec-
ommended to prevent the fibers from pricking
your skin. If the skin is pricked, wash gently
with soap and water. Replace the logs as de-
tailed in Step 12 Assembling the Logs.
If, after a period of use, the flames start to
exhibit unusual shapes and behavior, or the
burners fail to ignite smoothly, then the burner
holes may require some cleaning. If this hap-
pens, it is preferable to contact your nearest
dealer to get the appliance serviced.
