WALL SWITCH INSTALLATION

The installation of a wall switch allows you to activate the gas control valve and turn the fireplace on and off. The wall switch is to be connected to the incoming 120 volt regular household wiring that supplies the electricity to the fireplace. Refer to wiring diagram in this manual on page 19.

OPTIONAL REMOTE CONTROL

INSTALLATION (Model WRC)

Note: If using optional wireless hand-held remote control, the wall switch must be in the ON position to be operational. The remote control then becomes the switching mechanism for fireplace operation.

1.Remove the front refractory access panel by lifting up and an- gling out of the firebox opening (see Figure 13).

2.The WRC model receiver does not require a battery. The re- ceiver can be installed by first plugging the short extension cord into the fireplace receptacle. Then plug the receiver unit into the extension cord. Finally plug the ignition module plug into the receiver unit (see Figure 14).

3.Activate the remote handset battery by removing the insulat- ing tab on the back of the handset (see Figure 15). The battery is included pre-installed.

4.Once the battery is activated the unit is ready to use.

5.Replace front refractory access panel.
