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 reaches
a range of 82° F (28° C) to 92° F (33° C),
hand-held remote control will perform a
safety override and shut fireplace off. This
feature is not available in MANU mode.
2. Receiver continuously receives signals
from hand-held remote to control room
temperature. If hand-held remote is mis-
placed, obstructed, or for any reason can-
not transmit to receiver, receiver will shut
off fireplace. This will occur in 8 minutes or
more 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.

OPERATION
Continued
Make sure heater switch is on AUTO. This wall
switch works just like the conventional light
switch. Flip switch up for on and down for off.
Note: Make sure that this switch is not in a
position to be mistaken for a light switch. This
may result in fireplace being inadvertently
turned on without proper precautions being
taken. See installation instructions on page
21 of this manual.
This blower has three settings: ON, OFF, and
AUTO. In ON position, blower will operate
constantly. In OFF position, blower will not
operate. In AUTO position, blower will start
when thermostat senses a sufficient increase
in firebox temperature.
Note: Your fireplace and thermostat blower
will not turn on and off at the same time.
Fireplace may run for several minutes before
blower turns on. After heater modulates to
pilot position, blower will continue to run. The
blower will shut off after firebox temperature
decreases.
Note: It is safe to operate fireplace with blower
turned off. However, blower helps distribute
heated air from fireplace.
