REMOTE OPERATION

Note: The receiver and hand-held remote control kit must be purchased separately (see Accessories, page 31). Follow installation in- structions on page 10 of this manual.

1.After lighting, let pilot flame burn for about one minute. Turn control knob to ON position. Slide the selector switch to the REMOTE position. Note: The burner may light if hand-held remote was on when selector switch was last turned off. You can now turn the burner on and off with the hand-held remote control unit.

IMPORTANT: Do not leave the selector switch in the REMOTE or ON position when the pilot is not lit. This will drain the battery.

3.To Lock press both buttons on remote control until light stops flashing. Remote is now locked. If the fire is on it will be turned off automatically. In the locked state, the light will not light up when any button is pressed.

4.To Unlock press both buttons together on remote control until light stops flashing. The remote is now unlocked.

INSPECTING BURNERS

Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame pat- terns often.

PILOT ASSEMBLY

The pilot assembly is factory preset for the proper flame height. Alterations may have occurred dur- ing shipping and handling. The pilot is located on the back right hand side of the burner.

The height of the thermopile must be 3/8" to 1/2" above the pilot flame. The flame from the pilot burner must extend beyond the thermopile.

If your pilot assembly does not meet these re- quirements:

Turn the adjustment screw marked pilot clockwise to decrease or counterclockwise to increase the flame to proper size (see Figure 39, page 19). Do not remove the adjustment screw.
