BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Read this entire manual before you use your new fireplace (especially the section “Safety Precautions” on page 2). Failure to follow

the instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.

Remote Control Transmitter Functions

NOTE: The Ignition Module Receiver will “beep” once

every time a Remote Transmitter Key is pressed, sig-

naling that the command has been received.

Identify the four function buttons on the Remote

Transmitter:

1. ON/OFF KEY: This button turns

the system ON or OFF. When

this button is pressed and the

system is OFF, the pilot light

will stay ON if the “Standing Pilot Switch” is in

the ON position.

2. THERMOSTAT KEY: This button, when pressed after the ON/OFF KEY is pressed and the

system is ON, will allow the selection of three modes: Manual Operation, Normal Thermostat

and Smart Thermostat.

a. Manual Mode: In this mode, the room temperature is ignored and the fireplace can be turned ON indefinitely.

The room temperature rise has no effect on this mode. All other functions such as fan speed control, flame

height control, secondary burner On/OFF control and Accent Light ON/OFF controls will be manually control-

lable.

b. Normal Thermostat: In this mode, the fireplace will

stay functioning until the room temperature in-

creases 1oF above the Set Point Temperature. To

increase the Set Point Temperature, Press the UP

button until the desired temperature is displayed in

the SET POINT TEMPERATURE window. The fan

will turn on 5 minutes after fireplace startup and will

turn off 12-1/2 minutes after the flames turn off, in

this mode. The flame height can be adjusted while

the fireplace is functioning, fan speed can be ad-

justed after 5 minutes of startup. Secondary burner

can be turned On or Off at any time after startup.

The Accent Light can be turned on or off any time

after startup.

c. Smart Thermostat: In this mode, all other func-

tions except the flame height adjustment are allowed. Manual flame height adjustment is not allowed in this

mode. The Smart Thermostat function adjusts the flame height in accordance to the difference between the

set point temperature and the actual room temperature. As the room temperature gets closer to the set point

temperature, the Smart Function automatically modulates the flame down.

3. UP/DOWN KEY: This key is used to increase or decrease the Set Point Temperatures, Flame Height and

Fan Speed and to toggle between Accent Light ON/OFF and Secondary Burner ON/OFF.

4. MODE SELECTION KEY: This key is used to toggle between the various function icons : Flame

Height, Fan Speed, Accent Light and Secondary Burner.

LOW BATTERY POWER DETECTION

1. Transmitter Batteries: The life span of the remote control transmitter batteries depends

on various factors: quality of the batteries used the number of ignitions of the appliance,

the number of changes to the room thermostat set point, etc. When the Transmitter bat-

teries are low, a Battery Icon will appear on the LCD display of the Transmitter before all

battery power is lost. When the batteries are replaced, this icon will disappear.

OPERATING DURING POWER OUTAGES

This electronic ignition system utilizes the supplied 110VAC power when it is available for all functions of this system. If the

AC power is interrupted during a power outage, plug in the battery pack (supplied with this fireplace) to the Fireplace

Backup Power Inlet Port installed on the wall to the left side of the fireplace (located about 18” up from floor level).

During the power outage, the appliance’s burners will function. In addition, Flame Height adjustment and Secondary Burn-

er ON/OFF functions will be available. The Fan and Accent Light, which are wholly dependent on 110VAC power, will not

function.

This appliance is designed and tested to be operated during power outages. The overall efficiency of this appliance will be

reduced by approximately 5% when the blower function is disabled during the power outage period.
