KEY INSTALLATION POINTS
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
This page references the most important key installation points when installing any Element 4 replace. This
page DOES NOT substitute for reading the entire manual.
F RECORDS
The installer MUST record the serial number and venting conguration to use for any technical issues that
may arise.
F ELECTRICAL
An approved 120V AC wall receptacle is required. The receiver MUST be powered by the AC adapter. Four
AA batteries may be used only for on-demand electrical requirement during power outage.
F FIRE MEDIA
When installing the re media make sure to NEVER mix dierent types of media or use media purchased
from another retailer. ALWAYS keep the second thermocouple AND pilot free from media.
F AIR OUTLETS
The warm air outlets MUST be installed BEFORE the rst light. The amount of square inches needed for the
opening varies from model to model.
F ENCLOSING THE FIREPLACE
ONLY a tested and approved non-combustible wallboard that is specied in the manual may be used when
enclosing the replace.
F FRAMING
The dimensions are dierent between metal and wood framing. Know which material you are using and
know the framing requirements.
F VENTING
The venting MUST follow the model specic graph shown in the manual. A restrictor may or may not need
to be used based on venting run and rise.
F CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS
REMEMBER that if the replace is installed before the site is nished, construction debris MUST be cleaned
from the enclosure and around the unit prior to nishing and the test re.
F GAS PRESSURES
Gas pressures MUST be read with a manometer and conrmed with what is required in the installation

USER INFORMATION
WARMTH AND BEAUTY HOW IT WORKS
The Element4 replaces are direct vent replaces and, as such, the intake and exhaust are both handled through the vent pipe. The
replace also provides convection air to your room. The illustration shows one of the unique features of the Element4 replaces - its
use of warm, convection air ow.
Other replaces have louvered metal boxes around them to keep temperatures under control. The Element4 replaces use your
enclosing walls, or chase, to guide this warm air.
When the air within the chase is warmed by the replace, it exits through an air outlet that you have provided. This chase air is then
replaced by room air which enters through the Air Inlet (provided by the replace design) and through the Wall Access Door. As the
exiting warm air cools, it falls to the oor where it's drawn into the inlets and the cycle repeats.
The replace provides the inlet for room air as part of its design; you provide the warm air outlet as part of your design.
See the ENCLOSING the FIREPLACE section of this manual for more information.

CLEARANCES
These are NOT zero-clearance fireplaces. All clearances to
combustible AND non- combustible materials MUST be maintained
as described in this manual.
LOCATING THE FIREPLACE
When selecting a location for the replace:
• Ensure that all minimum clearances to combustible AND noncombustible materials are met.
• Provide adequate clearances for servicing.
• Consider venting dimensions (rise, run and number of
elbows, etc.) when selecting the location for your replace.
• Locate the appliance out of trac and away from furniture
and draperies.
• Keep the location free of electrical, plumbing or other
heating/air conditioning ducting.
PLACING THE FIREPLACE
The base upon which the appliance rests must be sturdy, level
and built to safely support at least 800 pounds (363 kilograms).
The base may be the oor or a purpose-built raised platform, e.g.
wood, metal. When placed on a platform, an 8” (203 mm) x 6” (152
mm) opening must be cut through the platform top. The lineset can
be routed through this opening. Room air must be allowed to ow
through the Wall Access Door then through this platform opening.
MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES
• The appliance is approved with a minimum clearance to
combustible materials of 26” (660 mm) to the top, 11” (280
mm)
on all sides and 4” (100 mm) to the bottom. Any spacer
or framing used closer than this dimension must be noncombustible (e.g. metal).
• The minimum distance from the bottom of the appliance to
the room ceiling is 72” (1830 mm).
• When installing the venting, the following clearances to
combustible materials MUST be maintained:
a. 3” (76 mm) above any horizontal venting
b. 1” (25 mm) to venting sides or below any horizontal
venting
• Do not block or restrict the Air Inlet, located between the
stando frame and glass.
The minimum clearances (air spaces) to combustible materials
must be maintained. It is of the greatest importance that the
replace and vent system be installed only in accordance with
these instructions.
Clearance to combustibles summary:
Back: 11” (280 mm)
Front: 11” (280 mm)
Sides: 11” (280 mm)
Top: 26” (660 mm)
Floor: 4” (100 mm)
The Floor dimension (above) is measured from the bottom of
the rebox. When the adjustable feet are in their lowest position
the required clearance to the oor is maintained.
The feet on the appliance are designed to sit on a at platform,
however the appliance must not be installed on any combustible
material other than wood. For example, carpet or linoleum bases
are not permitted.
Do not place anything between the bottom of the rebox and the
bottom of the feet.
ENSURE THAT THE LINESET (WHICH INCLUDES THE GAS
VALVE, ELECTRICAL WIRING, AND GAS LINES) DOES NOT
IMPEDE THE FULL OPERATION OF THE RELIEF DOORS. IT IS
YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THESE
CRITICAL COMPONENTS THROUGHOUT THE INSTALLATION
PROCESS. REMOVE AND DISPOSE OF ALL WRAPS AND TIES.

GAS and ELECTRIC
INSTALLING THE GAS LINE
In accordance with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54 (USA) or CAN/CSA-B149.1 (Canada,) correctly size and
route the gas supply line from the supply regulator to the area where the appliance is to be installed.
Never use galvanized or plastic pipe unless it is rated for use with gas. Gas supply pipes must be designed, routed, constructed and
made of materials that are in strict accordance with local codes and regulations. A qualied plumber or gas tter should be hired to
correctly size and route the gas supply line to the appliance in accordance with all applicable codes and regulations.
Installing a gas supply line from the fuel supply to the appliance involves numerous considerations of materials, protection, sizing,
locations, controls, pressure, sediment trap, and other criteria. The sizing and/or installing of gas piping should only be performed
by a qualied plumber or gastter.
The gas control inlet accepts a ⁄” NPT tting.
The gas supply piping should have a separate gas shuto valve and a capped, 1/8” pipe tapping upstream of the valve for the purpose
of reading pressure. A service shuto valve must be placed within six feet of the replace gas control valve.
The gas supply pressure at the gas control valve must not exceed the Maximum Supply Pressure as shown in the Specications
and Dimensions section of this manual.
The gas supply line must be properly connected and bled by a certied gastter or plumber.
The appliance and its main gas valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that
system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa). The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing
its equipment shuto valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psi
(3.5 kPa).

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The Element 4 replaces use a receiver and remote control for their burner operation. The remote control comes with two AAA
batteries and the receiver is powered by a 120V AC adapter, included. The replace MUST be powered by the AC adapter for
improved reliability and customer satisfaction.
The installer must provide an approved 120V AC receptacle to be placed within the six foot cord limit of the AC adapter.
The receiver MUST be powered by the AC adapter. Four (4) AA batteries may be used only for on-demand electrical requirement
during a power outage. Remove batteries after use to avoid battery corrosion. Battery corrosion will damage the receiver.
Electrical work must be performed by a qualied, licensed electrician.
WARNING
All wiring shall be in compliance with all local, city, and state codes.

VENTING
CONFIGURATION
CONFIGURING THE VENTING
The replaces in this manual are direct vent replaces that use a co-axial or “pipe within a pipe” venting system. The outer “pipe” or vent
conducts fresh, outside air into the replace and the inner vent carries the exhaust outside. This system, which can run either horizontally
through a side wall or vertically through the roof, produces an ecient system because conditioned building air is not used for combustion.
• Only the 5” x 8” direct vent components from the companies listed below are approved for use with these replaces. Any of
the 5” x 8” direct vent components suitable for the local condition are permitted. Please visit www.europeanhome.com/qr-
support or via the QR code below for installation instructions.
• This replace is shipped with a North American venting adapter. It MUST attach to the vent collar of
the replace.
• All venting measurements are taken from the top center of the vent collar on the top of the replace
and all congurations must fall within the acceptable range of the venting charts.
• A minimum clearance of 3” (75 mm) must be maintained between combustible materials and the top
of any horizontal vent pipe surface; a minimum clearance of 1” (25 mm) must be maintained between
combustible materials and any other vent pipe surface.
• The horizontal parts of the venting must be pitched up away from the replace. For every 12” (305 mm) of horizontal run, the
venting must rise ¼” (6.5 mm) toward the termination. The venting must never run downward unless with the use of a power
vent.
North American Vent Adapter
• Whenever venting passes through a wall, an approved heat shield or ‘wall thimble’ must be installed.
• A power vent system is available for venting that falls outside of the venting graphs. Refer to the appropriate power vent
manual for any venting conguration which is outside of the vent graphs shown here.
• Your venting needs to be inspected annually, including any connected components, to ensure that the system is working as
designed.
• In colder climate environments, the replace can be lowered to STANDY BY MODE (Pilot Flame only). This will help maintain a
steady draft within the venting over a period of up to ve days. See the “Operating the Fireplace” section.

VENTING
Elbows do not help the movement of air through your venting conguration and must be included when determining your minimum
and maximum vent lengths.
Elbows are called either ‘vertical’ or ‘horizontal’ depending on their mounted position. The two types of elbows are:
TYPE N - 45° or 90° elbows which transition from vertical to horizontal and vice versa.
- For every Type N elbow, you must add 40”/1m to your THS
TYPE Q - 45° or 90° elbows which transition from horizontal to horizontal.
-For each 90° elbow in the horizontal section you must add 80” (2m) to your THS
-For each 45° elbow in the horizontal section you must add 40” (1m) to your THS
No more than four 90° elbows OR eight 45° elbows OR a combination totaling no more than 360° ‘elbow degrees’ are allowed. For
example, a combination of two 90° elbows and two 45° elbows is allowed (90° + 90° + 45° + 45° equals 270°) but a combination of
three 90° elbows and three 45° elbows is not allowed (the total equals 405°.)
CONFIGURATION
APPLYING THE RESULTS
Once you have calculated your total vertical section (TVS) and your total horizontal section (THS) plot the intersection of these
two numbers on the appropriate venting chart.
The intersecting block will have either a 0, 35 or X.
0 conguration allowed, no restrictor required
35 conguration allowed, restrictor needed
X conguration not allowed
If your TVS and THS intersect at a block with an “X” the conguration is not allowed.
For venting congurations that intersect at an “X” a power vent option may be available.
Some examples are;
- using the Vertical Termination Chart, a TVS of 9’ (2.74m) and a THS of 7’ (2.13m) is not allowed.
- using the Horizontal Termination Chart, a TVS of 6’ (1.82m) and a THS of 4’ (1.21m) is not allowed.
- using the Horizontal Termination Chart, a TVS of 9’ (2.74m) and a THS of 3’ (0.9m) is allowed.
FITTING THE RESTRICTOR
The restrictor, if needed, mounts across
the exhaust opening at the top of the
end wall nearest the venting.

COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
Materials that can catch re and burn are considered combustible. Any material that is made of, or faced with wood, wood pulp,
paper, plastic or any other material that can catch re and burn is considered combustible. Even though these materials may have
been ‘ame-proofed’, made ‘re-resistant’ or are ‘re-rated’ they are considered combustible. Standard and Type X drywall are
combustible.
NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
A material is non-combustible when it cannot catch re and burn. For example, materials made of stone, brick, concrete, tile, steel,
plaster or glass are non-combustible.
The table below shows a list of materials which are reported by their manufacturers to be non-combustible (in accordance with the
ASTM E136 standard) AND approved for use around replaces.
Skamol Skamotec® 225 and the Promat PROMAFOUR® system are preferred products for enclosing replaces.

ENCLOSING the FIREPLACE
BUILDING THE ENCLOSURE/FRAMING
A safe installation of your Element4 replace requires that three things be clearly understood.
1. Most important, these replaces are NOT zero-clearance replaces. Unlike zero-clearance replaces, there is not an outer
metal box around the Element4 replaces which increases the framing dimensions.
2. Only the non-combustible wall around the glass, the platform (oor,) the mounting brackets and the venting may touch the
replace.
3. The controls will be mounted to your enclosure and below the burner. The controls are at the end of a line set and are to be
accessed via the Wall Access Door (included.) The controls must be located for ease of physical access (gas line, maintenance,
etc.) as well as wireless signal (remote control) access. See the LOCATING THE CONTROLS and the MOUNTING THE CONTROLS sections. The
Wall Access Door has a total opening of 25 in (161 cm through which air must pass into the chase.
It may seem straightforward to build the ‘rough opening’, set the replace then attach the wall. However, for most projects, it will be
easier to rst set the replace in position then enclose it with Skamol Skamotec® or Promat PROMAFOUR® building board.
REDUCED CLEARANCE TO EXISTING COMBUSTIBLE WALLS
When retrotting the replace against an existing wall it is often desirable to reduce the distance between the replace and the
combustible wall. Normally, this distance is 11” (280 mm) but it may be reduced by shielding the existing nished wall with a 1” (25mm)
air gap and a sheet of non-combustible material as shown on the following page.
IN ALL CASES:
• A reduced clearance “wall protection shield” is ONLY ALLOWED ON A VERTICAL WALL; IT IS NOT ALLOWED TO BE USED ON
HORIZONTAL OR ANGLED SURFACES WITHIN THE NON-COMBUSTIBLE ZONE.
• The “wall protection shield” shall be placed no closer than 1” (25 mm) to the oor or any intersecting walls. Air MUST be allowed
to continually circulate around all sides of the wall shield.
• A 1” (25 mm) air gap between the wall shield and the existing wall MUST be maintained.
• A 2” (50 mm) air gap between the wall shield and the replace MUST be maintained.

The nished wall(s) must be at least ½” (12 mm) thick or the replace trim will extend beyond the nished wall. The list below shows
the thickness of the approved wall products.
Your choice of wall material depends largely on the intended nish. For example, a thinner wall product and a layer of stone may be
thick enough to reach the trim edge. If a painted nish is desired then a wall at least ½” (12 mm) thick will suce.
Facing material should be installed against the outer frame of the replace, with an ⁄” (3 mm) vertical or horizontal clearance

COLD CLIMATE INSULATION
For cold climate installations, it is especially important to insulate outside the chase cavity, between studs and under the oor on
which appliance rests, if oor is above ground level. Gas line holes and other openings should be lled with approved restop.
If the replace is being installed on a cement slab in cold climates, a sheet of plywood or a raised platform can be placed underneath
to prevent cold transferring to the replace and into the room. It also helps to tape the venting for maximum air tightness and to
caulk the restops.
LOCATING THE CONTROLS
The standard control system consists of four major components; the receiver, the remote control, the gas valve, and the power
supply.
The remote control is the device by which you operate the replace. The receiver and the gas control are at one end of a line set
which is connected to the rebox near the center. As shipped, the line set is wrapped together and xed to the replace. Remove
all wraps and ties prior to installation.
The Wall Access Door is provided with your replace. When locating the Wall Access Door you must consider four types of access:
1. Air access. Room air must be allowed to ow freely through the Wall Access Door perforations, the site-built platform
and the replace chase. The Wall Access Door must be installed in the same room as the replace.
2. Line set access. The line set is to be unwrapped. Do not kink the lineset and do not bend to a radius of less than 2” (50 mm)
3. Physical access. The gas valve/receiver must be readily accessible for maintenance, etc.
4. Wireless access. The signals from the remote must get to the receiver, inside the access door.
If the Access Door is not used its air access equivalent 25 in (161 cm) as well as physical, wireless and line set access must be
provided.
MOUNTING THE CONTROLS
Do not place the controls above the level of the burner. If the replace is to be set directly on the oor, the controls must be placed outside
the non-combustible zone.
The table shows the dimensions and the required rough opening of
the Wall Access Door. The door should be mounted with the hinge

TEST FIRE
Prior to being placed into operation, the replace should be test-red in stages to ensure that all components are in good working
order. This replace has a 2nd thermocouple which senses the burner ame. The system will turn itself o if the system does not
sense the 2nd thermocouple output within 29 seconds after the valve opens.

Note that a single, long beep indicates that the 2
preventing the replace from starting. Allow time for the 2nd thermocouple to cool down before attempting a start. The system is
ready to start when pressing the ON/OFF button produces a response from the valve.
1. Start the replace with the hearth panel out and with the front glass o. Ensure that the pilot ame both heats the primary
thermocouple and lights the burner. For safety, a post-purge delay is built into the system. Subsequent start attempts
MUST NOT take place for at least thirty (30) seconds.
2. Start the replace with the hearth panel in place and with all of the glass panels xed correctly in place. Ensure that the
main burner ames engulf the 2nd thermocouple and the replace stays lit for at least 1 full minute. If the system turns itself
o after 29 seconds install the required media (next section) and return here. Installing the re media will help with the
ame around the 2nd thermocouple. Subsequent start attempts MUST NOT take place for at least ve (5) minutes.
3. Start the replace with the media installed. If the system turns itself o after 29 seconds, rearrange the media to produce
a good ame at the 2nd thermocouple. This step may have to be repeated several times before the media is in the best
place for consistent operation. A single, long beep indicates that the 2nd thermocouple is still too hot to start the ignition
sequence. Allow time for the 2nd thermocouple to cool down. Once the system stays lit for at least one full minute, turn
the replace o, x the glass panels in place and operate the replace for at least 45 minutes to ensure the system works
properly when heated.

OPERATING the FIREPLACE
THE FIRST FIRE
When the replace is rst heated, an odor may be given o by the hot metal. This is normal and is a result of the ‘burn o’ of the
lubricants and sealants used when manufacturing the replace. We recommend that you open the nearby windows for extra
ventilation and then operate the replace for at least four hours.
When the glass is cold, some condensation may appear on the glass after lighting the replace. This is normal and the
condensation will disappear as the glass warms.
During this rst re, examine the ame for appearance and quality. Examine the burner media for sooting. The ame pattern
should be similar to that show below. Flames may appear blue and will turn yellow after 15 to 20 minutes.
After this burn-o period, turn o the replace and let it cool completely to room temperature and clean both sides of the glass
and the interior panels as described in the MAINTENANCE section.
Since it is a metal replace, the heat-up and cool-down cycles may produce some noises caused by the expansion and contraction
of these metals. The premium materials and build quality of your replace will keep these sounds to a minimum.

REMOVING AND CLEANING THE GLASS
OVERVIEW
The glass panel(s) are held in place by two gasketed clamps (one on
either side with two bolts each) and a rope gasket at the lower edge
of the glass. These instructions require two technicians and will
show you how to remove and install the glass panel(s).
Please read these instructions completely before proceeding.
TOOLS REQUIRED
• No. 2 Phillips screwdriver (not included)
• Gloves (not included)
• 2 Suction Cups
REMOVING THE GLASS
Step 1.
Remove all of the trim pieces (magnetically attached) from the
replace. The Tenore has two glass panels, therefore, twice the
number of trim pieces. There is no top trim on either replace. The
trim pieces are held rmly in place with magnets and will simply lift
out. The bottom (horizontal) trim pieces are at the lower edge of the
glass panels and the side (vertical pieces) are where the glass meets
the wall.
Step 2.
The glass panel is held in place by a gasketed glass clamp on the left
and right ends and a rope gasket along the bottom edge. Remove
the retaining bolt(s) holding the glass clamps and then remove the
clamps. Gently pull the rope gasket from its channel.
Step 3.
Securely attach a suction cup to the glass approximately 24”(600 mm)
from either end and lift the glass up into the clearance notch.
Side Trim
Bottom Trim
With the glass panel raised into the upper rail, swing the lower edge
of the glass panel out towards the room and gently lower the glass
towards the oor until it clears the replace.
Step 4.
Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for the other glass panel, if present.
PROPERLY PLACE, CLAMP AND SEAL THE GLASS PANEL(S) BEFORE
LIGHTING THE FIRE!

MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE GLASS
Burning natural gas (NG) or propane (LP) in this replace will always result in some of the gas components being deposited on the
glass. Hydrogen suldes and mercaptans, which are present in the burning gas, condense onto the relatively cooler glass surface
and cause white lm to build up over time.
The amount of this white lm is inuenced by a number of factors such as; the conguration of the system venting, thermal eciency
of the replace design, the humidity of combustion air, frequency of replace use, burner performance and, the replace design itself.
Do not use normal household (usually ammonia-based) glass cleaners to clean the glass as these cleaners can leave a permanent
stain. Only a gas replace glass cleaner should be used. Products such as Stove Bright® Gas Appliance Glass Cleaner by Forrest
Technical Coatings, Imperial Gas Fireplace Glass Cleaner by Imperial Manufacturing Group and GFC™ Gas Fireplace Glass Cleaner by
A.W. Perkins Co. are designed for this purpose.
Follow the instructions for use and do not clean the glass when it is hot! If the glass becomes coated with deposits which cannot
be removed it must be replaced.
The replace glass should be cleaned before the replace is rst lit and then after the replace has been through its four hour burnin cycle. This will reduce potential build up on your glass.
INSTALLING THE GLASS
The glass panel(s) should be installed in reverse order of their removal.
Upper Rail
Step 1.
Securely attach the two suction cups, each approximately 24”(600
mm) from either end. Lift the glass panel up into the upper rail and
swing the lower edge of the glass panel against the rebox gasket. Set
the glass clamps into place and hold them loosely into place with a
retaining bolt. DO NOT tighten the retaining bolts yet.
Gasket
Glass
Left Side Trim
Step 2.
Ensure that the glass is at against the rebox gasket and centered on
the rebox.
Step 3.
Center the rope gasket on top of the gasket channel (in front of the
lower edge of the glass.) While holding the center in place, gently
stretch the gasket while laying it into the gasket channel, left and right.
Press the gasket down into the length of the gasket channel.
Step 4.
Hand tighten the bolts onto the glass clamps.
Step 5.
While ensuring that the glass panels are tight and square to each other, tighten the retaining bolt(s) on each clamp NO MORE
THAN ¼ TURN.
PROPERLY PLACE, CLAMP AND SEAL THE
GLASS PANEL(S) BEFORE LIGHTING THE FIRE!

Installation and maintenance must be performed by an authorized qualied installer, service agency or gas supplier.
TURN OFF THE GAS before servicing the appliance. It is recommended that a qualied service technician perform an
appliance check-up/service once a year.
Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing MUST BE REPLACED before operating this appliance.
DO NOT USE this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualied service technician to inspect the
unit and to replace any part of the control system and any gas valve that has been under water.
Any alteration to the product that causes soot or carbon to form and results in damage is not the responsibility of the
manufacturer.
Inspect the external vent cap on a regular basis to make sure that no debris, plants, trees, or shrubs are interfering with the
air ow.
BURNER MAINTENANCE
The ames from the burner should be visually checked. The ame should have a blue base and yellow tops and be candle-like in
appearance.
PILOT MAINTENANCE
The pilot ame must be visually checked. The pilot ame must always be present when the appliance is in operation and should
appear as shown (with hearth panel removed.)
The pilot has two distinct ames, one engulng the thermocouple on its left, the other reaching across to the burner.
The area around the pilot should be inspected for cleanliness. Lint or foreign material must be removed with a brush or vacuum.

Page 54
MAINTENANCE
THERMOCOUPLE MAINTENANCE
The Element4 fireplaces have two thermocouples; one next
to the pilot and one opposite the pilot side of the burner. The
completeness and operation of both must be checked. A qualied
installer must conrm that both thermocouples are in place and
not damaged. While checking the thermocouple, please ensure
that the ignitor rod is not cracked as well.
VENT MAINTENANCE
The following venting system inspection by a qualied service
technician is recommended every six months:
1. Inspect for excessive condensation, e.g. water droplets
forming in the inner lining and subsequently dripping out of
the joints. This can cause corrosion in the system.
2. Check for corrosion in areas exposed to the elements.
Where rust spots or holes have appeared, these must be
immediately replaced.
3. Ensure that there is no foreign material in the vents. Survey
by removing the cap and shining a light down the vent.
4. Check all joints and pipes to make sure that nothing has
been disturbed or loosened.

E4-SA-SHSC-02
MODES OF OPERATION
• Mode 1 - the external source provides “ON“ and “OFF“
operation only. The remote control provides all other
functions.
Note: Even if the re is switched on by the external
source, the remote control, in the thermostatic mode,
controls the room temperature. The room temperature
setting of the remote control will remain the same for
the next ON-cycle of the external source as long as the
temperature setting of the remote control has not been
changed. If the remote control is in manual mode, it will
go to High Fire in the next cycle of external operation.
• Mode 2 - The remote control must be set to the manual
mode if the external source is to control the room
temperature. If the handset is placed in the thermostatic
mode it will override the external source.
NOTE:
Frequent ON and OFF cycles will limit life expectancy of the
valve and will increase battery consumption. The replace
should be powered by the AC adapter for improved
reliability and customer satisfaction.
