OPERATING FIREPLACE

Continued

Auto (Thermostatic) Mode

1.Press the POWER and LOCK buttons together to turn on the hand-held remote control.

2.Press AUTO button to select this mode.

3.Set the desired room temperature by press- ing the TEMP + or - buttons.

4.Press the POWER and LOCK buttons together to turn off the fireplace

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 fireplace. 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 operation in the AUTO mode.

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 exceeds 82 degrees Fahrenheit (28 degrees Centi- grade), 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 operation (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.

OPTIONAL GWMT1 WALL

MOUNTED THERMOSTAT

Make sure the heater switch is on AUTO and set the temperature adjustment on wall thermostat to the desired setting. The thermostat has been electronically calibrated at the factory and re- quires 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 pages 19 and 20.

OPTIONAL GWMS2 WALL

MOUNTED SWITCH

Make sure the heater switch is on AUTO. This wall switch works just like the conventional light switch. Flip the switch up for on and down for off.

Note: Make sure that this switch is not in a posi- tion to be mistaken for a light switch. This may result in the fireplace being inadvertently turned on without the proper precautions being taken. See installation instructions on page 20.

OPERATING

BLOWER

This blower has three settings: ON, OFF and AUTO. In the ON position, the blower will oper- ate constantly. In the OFF position, the blower will not operate. In the AUTO position, the blower will start when the thermostat senses a sufficient increase in firebox temperature.

Note: Your fireplace and thermostat blower will not turn on and off at the same time. The fireplace may run for several minutes before the blower turns on. After the heater modulates to the pilot position, the blower will continue to run. The blower will shut off after the firebox temperature decreases.

Note: It is safe to operate fireplace with blower turned off. However, the blower helps distribute heated air from the fireplace.
