Charging the battery pack The charger supplied with the battery pack is a true charger and will not overcharge the batteries. The charger has a built in switch so that it will switch off when the batteries in the pack are fully charged. The red LED on the front face of the charger will light when there is current passing to the batteries.

If the receiver is covered in any way the fire will not operate. The receiver is secured to a bracket with a screw which can be removed when the burner is taken out for service.
