NOTE: Re-setting the Receiver Module
If the receiver module fails to synchronize with the remote or wall switch after two attempts, you
should re-set the receiver module. To do this, hold down the LEARN button on the reciever for
approximately 10 seconds until the receiver beeps 3 times. This indicates the receiver has been
re-set and can be synchronized using the instructions above.
The receiver module has enough memory to store three remotes. If you re-synchronize the
remotes, you may overwhelm the receiver memory, nullifying one of the earlier programmed
remotes. In these cases, you should reset the receiver module and re-synchronize.
Using the Reset Rod to Activate the Receiver Module
A reset rod is included in the owner’s pack to allow the receiver module to be reset externally.
With the glass removed, locate the two index holes to the left side of the firebox. Shine a flashlght
into the cavity to better illuminate the second hole.
Index Holes
Slide the reset rod through the index holes. The rod will line up with the reset (“Learn”) button on
the receiver module. Press lightly on the rod to activate the button.

The rear log has two grooves that fit over the grate. These grooves allow for proper adjustment of
the rear log. After the logs are in place, and the fireplace has run for 15 minutes, you may wish to
verify the log is correctly positioned. You can move the log forward to obtain more glow from the
log. If sooting occurs, move the log back.

Left Front Log
The left front log has a groove
on the bottom of the log.
This groove fits over the air
deflector on the burner.
When in place, the log rests
level as shown in the picture
to the right. Note how the right
portion of the log lines up with
the right front log, creating the
appearance of one log.

Ember Placement
Place the embers along the firebox floor and burner to help conceal the burner. Make sure none of
the embers are directly over the burner holes. See the photo below.
Note how the embers do not
cover any burner holes. Place
the embers around the burner
to create a realistic effect.
Rock Wool Placement
The included rock wool is placed on top of the burner to enhance the glow from the burner. The
rock wool works best when it is applied in a very thin, porous layer. The best method for
applying the rock wool is to brush it on to the burner. Compress a clump of rockwool between your
thumb and forefinger. Use a stiff brush to apply a thin layer of rockwool fibers onto the burner. Do
not use the entire bag of rockwool. Use only a small amount and save the remainder. Over-use of
rockwool will diminish the glow and may cause sooting or other adverse conditions.

Slide this silver tab out.
7/16" Wrench
When in the LP position a hole
will appear near one of the tabs.
Tighten the pilot hood
until it is fully secure.
The gas control valve and receiver
module are found on the back side of
this plate.
The burner tray is held
in place with 9 screws
(7 on the firebox wall, 2
on the pilot assembly).
Remove the burner tray
and place it on the
firebox floor.
