OPERATION

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING

WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

A. This appliance has a pilot which must be lighted by hand. When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.

B. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

• Do not try to light any appliance.

• Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone in your building.

• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

C. Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control knob. Never use tools.

If the knob will not push in or turn by hand, don’t try to repair it, call a qualified service technician. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.

D. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.

NOTICE: During initial operation of new heater, burning logs will give off a paper-burning smell.

Orange flame will also be present. Open damper or window to vent smell. This will only last a few hours.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: You must operate this heater with the screen in place. Make sure screen is installed before running heater.

Note: The first time that the heater is operated after connecting the gas supply,the control knob should be pressed for about thirty (30) seconds. This will allow air to bleed from the gas system. If pilot does not stay lit, refer to Troubleshooting, pages 28 though 31. Also contact a qualified service technician or gas supplier for repairs. Until repairs are made, light pilot with match.

• If control knob does not pop up when released, contact a qualified service technician or gas supplier for repairs.

1. STOP! Read the safety information above.

2. Make sure equipment shutoff valve is fully open.

3. Turn control knob clockwise

to the

4. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas.

Then smell for gas around heater and near the floor. If you smell gas, STOP! Follow

"B" in the safety information above. If you do not smell gas, go to the next step.

5. Turn control knob counterclockwise to the PILOT position. Press in control knob for five (5) seconds (see Figure 22).

OPERATION

6. With control knob pressed in, push down and release ignitor button. This will light pilot. The pilot is attached to the rear of the front of burner. If needed, keep pressing ignitor button until pilot lights.

Note: If pilot does not stay lit, refer to

Troubleshooting, pages 28 though 31.

Also contact a qualified service technician or gas supplier for repairs. Until repairs are made, light pilot with match. To light pilot with match, see Manual Lighting

Procedure.

7. Keep control knob pressed in for 30 seconds after lighting pilot. After 30 seconds, release control knob.

Note: If pilot goes out, repeat steps 3 through 7. This heater has a safety interlock system. Wait one (1) minute before lighting pilot again.

8. Be sure the slide switch on the front of the receiver is in the ON position.

9. Turn control knob counterclockwise to desired heating level. The main burner should light. Set control knob to any heat level between HI and LO (5 and 1).

10. Make sure the heater screen is in place before operating heater.

11. If heater will not operate, follow the instructions To Turn Off Gas To Appliance , and call your service technical or gas supplier.

CAUTION: Do not try to adjust heating levels by using the equipment shutoff valve.

WARNING: If input gas type is NG, make sure NG pilot burner ignites. If input gas type is LP, make sure LP pilot burner ignites.

THERMOSTAT CONTROL OPERATION

The thermostatic control used on this model differs from standard thermostats. Standard thermostats simply turn the burner on and off.

The thermostat used on this heater senses the room temperature. At times the room may exceed the set temperature. If so, the burner will shut off. The burner will cycle back on when room temperature drops below the set temperature. The control knob can be set to any comfort level between HIGH (5) and LOW (1).

Note: The thermostat sensing bulb measures the temperature depending on housing construction.

1. Place the slide switch on the receiver in the remote position (see Figure 23).

Key Settings

ON - Operates unit to on position, manually operated solenoid ON.

OFF - Operates unit to off position, manually operated solenoid OFF.

MODE - Changes unit from manual mode to thermo mode.

SET - Sets temperature in thermo mode.

2. Turn control knob on the heater to the ON position.

3. Use a pen or small screwdriver to gently press and hold the recessed LEARN button on the face of the receiver for 2-3 seconds. You will hear a beep.

4. Press the ON button on the remote control to light the burner (see Figure 24). You will hear a series of beeps. This will also

"learn", or program, the remote and the receiver.

THERMOSTAT FUNCTION

Setting Desired Room Temperature

The remote control system can control the thermostat when the transmitter is in the

THERMO mode. The word ROOM must be displayed on the screen.

To set the THERMO MODE and desired room temperature:

1. Press the MODE key until the LCD screen shows the word ROOM. The remote is now in the thermostatic mode.

2. Press and hold the SET key until the desired set temperature is reached. The LCD screen set numbers will increase from 45° to 99° and then restart over at 45°.

3. Release the SET key. The LCD screen will display the set temperature for 3 seconds, then flash the set temperature for

3 seconds, then LCD screen will default to display the room temperature.

To Change The Set Temperature

1. Press and hold the SET key until the desired set temperature is reached. The

LCD screen set numbers will increase from 45° to 99° then restart over at 45°.

2. Release the SET key. The LCD screen will display the set temperature for 3 seconds, then flash the set temperature for 3 seconds, then the LCD screen will default to display the room temperature.

3. Press the MODE key to disengage the thermo mode. The word ROOM on the

LCD screen will not show when the thermo is not in operation.

Note: The highest SET temperature is

99°F (32 °C) and the lowest temperature is 45°F (6°C).

REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION

NOTES

The Thermo Feature on the transmitter operates the appliance whenever the ROOM

TEMPERATURE varies a certain number of degrees from the SET TEMPERATURE.

This variation is called the “swing” or temperature differential. The normal operating cycle of an appliance may be 4 times per hour depending on how well the room or home is insulated from the cold or drafts.

The factory setting for the “swing number” is

2. This represents a temperature variation of

+/-2°F (1°C) between SET temperature and

ROOM temperature, which determines when the fireplace will be activated. The transmitter has ON and OFF manual functions that are activated by pressing either button on the face of the transmitter. When a button on the transmitter is pressed the word ON or OF will appear on the LCD screen to show while the signal is being sent. Upon initial use, there may be a delay of three seconds before the remote receiver will respond to the transmitter.

This is part of the system’s design.
