TOA Electronics VF4000-CMP-2 Operation and Care of Your Appliance, Cleaning and Servicing

Remote Control Kit

The Model RCL adds the convenience of re- mote control for your millivolt controlled ap- pliance. The kit includes a wireless, hand held transmitter and a receiver that replaces the wall switch. This special receiver permits ei- ther manual or remote control modes. Both receiver and transmitter operate on standard 9 volt batteries (not included). Refer to the RCL installation instruction for specific details.

Wall Switch Kit

An optional wall switch kit can be installed along with the millivolt controlled appliances. The kit consists of a standard UL wall switch with cover plate. This kit provides for remote (wall) operation of the appliance. Replace the wall switch and cover plate of this kit with the components of the FWSK and you can have true remote control of your vent-free appliance, turning it on and off from your favorite easy chair. The wall switch kit should be installed along with the appliance. Refer to Figure 11 and Step 5 for detailed installation instructions.

Rocker Switch Kit

An optional rocker switch kit can be installed directly on VF4000-CMN/P series appliances to provide for On and Off operation in lieu of a wall switch. This kit is designed to install in the lower control compartment out of view and is perfect for use in high volume areas such as lobbies and model homes where limited ac- cess to the appliance On/Off switch is desir- able. This kit can be retrofitted to previously installed appliances and may be temporarily installed in place of other switch circuitry.

Wall Thermostat Kit

A wall thermostat kit is available for use with the millivolt controlled appliances. The wall thermostat is designed to be wired directly to the appliance millivolt gas control circuit and provide automatic On/Off control of the appli- ance to maintain a desired temperature within the room.

OPERATION AND CARE OF YOUR APPLIANCE

1.Blower operation may be controlled through the ON/OFF unit rocker switch, located in the lower control compartment.

2.These heater rated units are equipped with a two stage (HI, LOW) gas control valve. To set the burner at the HI and LOW settings, rotate the control knob to the desired position.

3.When lit for the first time, the appliance will emit a slight odor for an hour or two. This is due to the “burn-in” of the internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process. Additionally, when lit for the first time, this appliance may produce smoke, this is normal and should be expected. For the first few hours, operate the appliance with doors and windows open to encourage the dissipation of smoke and fumes.

4.Keep lower control compartment clean by vacuuming or brushing at least twice a year. More frequent cleanings may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding ma- terials, etc. It is important that the control compartments, burners and circulating air pas- sageways of the heater be kept clean.

5.Always turn off gas to pilot before cleaning. Before relighting, refer to the lighting instruc- tions in this manual. Instructions are also found on a pull-out panel located on the floor of the appliance.

6.Always keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable liquids.

7.Remember, this appliance has a continuous burning pilot flame. Exercise caution when using products with combustible vapors.

CLEANING AND SERVICING

WARNING: TURN OFF THE UNVENTED GAS ROOM HEATER AND ALLOW TO COOL BEFORE CLEANING.

Only limited cleaning will be required under the normal use of the heater. Dust the front grate, the top of the piezo cover and the control knob occasionally. Do not use cleaning fluids to clean the logs or any other part of the room heater.

Remove the log assembly, gently handling by holding each log at each end. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove loose particles from the base and from around the burners. Gloves are rec- ommended to prevent the fibers from pricking your skin. If the skin is pricked, wash gently with soap and water. Replace the logs as de- tailed in Step 12 Assembling the Logs.

If, after a period of use, the flames start to exhibit unusual shapes and behavior, or the burners fail to ignite smoothly, then the burner holes may require some cleaning. If this hap- pens, it is preferable to contact your nearest dealer to get the appliance serviced.
