This unit must be installed by a qualified installer to prevent the possibility of an
explosion. Your dealer will know the requirements in your area and can inform you
of those people considered qualified. The room heater should be inspected and
cleaned before use and at least annually by a qualified service person. More
frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding
material, etc.
The instructions in this manual must be strictly adhered to. Do not use makeshift
methods or compromise in the installation. Improper installation will void the
warranty and safety listing.

hazard. Direct questions
about the type of fuel used to
your dealer or installer
Operate the heater accordin
to the instructions included in
this manual.
If the main burners do not start

Gas
Contact your local buildin
officials to obtain a permit and
information on any installation

well.
It is imperative that control

the heater be kept clean and
free of obstructions. These
areas provide the air necessary
for safe operation.
Do not store or use gasoline or

?
If the flame becomes sooty,
dark orange in color, or
extremely tall, do not operate
the heater. Call your dealer
and arrange for proper
servicing.
Do not operate the heater if it is
not operating properly in any
fashion or if you are uncertain.
Call your dealer for a full
explanation of your heater and
what to expect.
Do not operate if any portion of
the heater was submerged in
water or if any corrosion occurs.
Immediately call a qualified
service technician to inspect
the appliance and to replace
any part of the control system
and any gas control that has
been under water.
Do not place clothing or other
flammable items on or near
the heater. Because this
heater can be controlled by a
thermostat there is a possibility
of the heater turning on and
igniting any items placed on
or near it.
The viewing glass should be
opened only for conducting
service. Do not operate with
cracked, broken, or removed
glass.
Any safety screen or guard
removed for servicing must be
replaced prior to operating the
heater.
Prior to removing the glass,
remove the batteries from the
battery box (or shut off gas to
the fireplace). This prevents
any chance of accidental
burner ignition when
accessing the firebox.

Press the “MODE” button on the remote until

Adjusting the Target Temperature of the Thermostat:
Make sure the remote is in thermostat mode. Hold down the “SET” button until the desired
temperature is displayed ( “SET TEMP” will be displayed on the LCD, indicating that the
thermostat temperature is being set). The thermostat may be set at any temperature between 45°
and 99° F. If the desired temperature is missed, simply hold down the button (the temperature
will scroll up to 99° then re-start at 45°).
NOTE: If the fireplace is in thermostat mode, and any button on the wall switch is pressed, the
remote will return to manual mode. Simply press any button on the remote to return control of
the fireplace to the remote.
WARNING: While in thermostat mode the fireplace will turn on and off to meet the temperature
demands of the remote. Do not place any items near the fireplace or conduct service without
removing the batteries and disabling the fireplace.
WARNING: If the remote is set to a high temperature the fireplace may remain on for an extended
period of time. This may be a concern to those using LP (propane).
•Burn the heater at a high setting for an extended period (up to 48 hours). This will cure the
painted surfaces. Fumes from the paint curing and oil burning off the steel will occur. This is
normal. We recommend opening a window to vent the room.
• Condensation may appear on the glass each time you start the fireplace - this is normal.
• Blue Flames will occur on the fireplace when it first comes on. After fifteen minutes the flames
will turn a more realistic yellow and orange color.
Adjusting the Flame Height
Adjustment with the Wall Switch (recommended)
With the fireplace in manual mode and the fireplace on, click the “HI” or “LO” button until the
desired flame height is achieved.
Adjustment with the Remote
With the fireplace in manual mode and the fireplace on, click and hold the “ON” button until the
desired flame height is achieved. Each time the “ON” button is held down, the flame height will
toggle between getting taller (“HI” will be displayed on the LCD screen) or getting smaller (“LO”
will be displayed on the LCD screen).
Continuous Pilot – For Very Cold Conditions
This fireplace can be configured to run with an intermittent or continuous (standing) pilot. For
normal conditions we recommend using the intermittent pilot (pilot is on only when the main
burner is on). For extremely cold conditions we recommend using a continuous pilot (pilot is on all
the time). By having the pilot on continuously, a draft is established in the vent, allowing the main
burner to turn on with less air-flow disruption.
Setting the Fireplace to Continuous Pilot
Press and hold down the “OFF Continuous Pilot” button on the remote for 10 seconds. “PILOT” will
appear on the LCD screen, indicating that the fireplace is configured for a continuous pilot. To
configure the fireplace for an intermittent pilot, press and hold down the “OFF Continuous Pilot”
button on the remote for 10 seconds until the “PILOT” is no longer visible on the LCD screen.
Normal Operating Odors
This appliance has several areas that reach high temperatures. Dust or other particles on these
areas may burn and create an odor. This is normal during start-up. You may notice the smell is
more acute if the appliance was left idle for a long period.
Power Outages
This fireplace utilizes household power (110 VAC) to power the receiver module and intermittent
pilot system. A separate battery box is included to provide power for the adjustable flame height
and in case of power outages. If you experience a power outage and the unit does not operate,
make sure to replace the AA batteries in the battery box (see “Battery Installation” on page 19).
