Note: Do not leave the hand-held remote in the AUTO mode close to the fireplace. The radiant heat from the fireplace will turn off the fire- place. Ideally, place the hand-held remote in the center of the room facing towards the fireplace. Note: Do not hold the hand-held remote for a long time. Body temperature will affect its op- eration in the AUTO mode.

Safety Features

When away from home for an extended period of time or as a child safety feature to prevent acci- dental ignition of the fireplace, receiver ON/OFF/ REMOTE switch should be in the OFF position.

Auto Shutoff Feature

1.If the average room temperature exceeds 82 degrees Fahrenheit (28 degrees Centigrade), the hand-held remote control will perform a safety override and shut the fireplace off. This feature is not available in the MANU mode.

2.The receiver continuously receives signals from the hand-held remote to control the room temperature. If the hand-held remote is misplaced, obstructed, or for any reason cannot transmit to the receiver, the receiver will shut off the fireplace after 8 minutes.

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 opera- tion (i.e. children operating the hand-held re- mote control, etc.). The keypad is locked in ei- ther on or off. Press the POWER and LOCK buttons together to turn the unit on or off.

GWMT1 WALL MOUNTED THERMOSTAT (OPTIONAL)

Make sure the heater switch is on REMOTE and set the temperature adjustment on wall thermostat to the desired setting. The thermo- stat has been electronically calibrated at the fac- tory and requires no adjustment or leveling.

Upon installation, the thermostat must be al- lowed to stabilize at room temperature for a minimum of 30 minutes for proper operation. See installation instructions on page 22 of this manual.

GWMS2 WALL MOUNTED

SWITCH (OPTIONAL)

Make sure the heater switch is on REMOTE. This wall switch works just like the conven- tional light switch. Flip the switch up for on and down for off.

Note: Make sure that this switch is not in a po- sition to be mistaken for a light switch. This may result in the fireplace being inadvertently turned on without the proper precautions be- ing taken. See installation instructions on page 23 of this manual.
