CAUTION!
• Hook up to battery terminals BEFORE you plug battery
into appliance.

The appliance has been designed to operate on an optional

battery back-up system.

If you have frequent power outages in your region, hook
the appliance up to a 1 volt battery and it will automatically
switch to battery power in the event of a power failure. The
1 volt power cord, sold as a separate accessory, does not
charge the battery.

human contact.
Operating on Battery Back-Up

know you are now operating on battery power. Figure

longer automatically light. Follow the instructions in the
Wall Control Manual.
• Use only approved fire starting gel to start the fire.
• The high burn rate is no longer available on battery
back-up.
• Each level drops down one level, i.e the high burn be-
comes medium-high burn and so on.

sustain the appliance operation and the appliance will
shut down. Figure 26.1. You must disconnect and re-
connect the battery to start it up again.
