IMPORTANT
* The battery light (BAT. LOW) on the Receiver will NOT turn on when the
Receiver is set to “ON” or “OFF”.
* When the Receiver is set to “REMOTE” the battery light will fl ash (1 blink
per second). Battery power is suffi cient.
* If the battery light (BAT. LOW) starts to fl ash rapidly (3 blinks per second),
this is an indication that the battery power is low and they should be
replaced.
* The Remote Control only responds to a Remote Control with a matching
ID Code. See page 4 for details.
Page 4
MATCHING REMOTE CONTROL & RECEIVER ID CODE
The Remote Control handset has a set of unique ID codes that is pre-programmed into its memory. This
set of ID codes helps to differentiate one Remote Control handset from another so that only the control
box with a matching ID code will respond to the appropriate Remot Control handset.
To ensure the Remote Control is matched to the Receiver correctly, please follow the steps below;
1. Ensure that the pilot is lit and the pilot control knob is in the ON position at the appliance.
2. Ensure both the Remote Control and the Receiver box are switched OFF.
3. Install the 2 x AAA alkaline batteries into the Remote Control.
4. Install the 4 x AA alkaline batteries into the Remote Receiver.
5. Switch the Receiver box to the REMOTE position.
6. Press and hold the PROG and PRESET buttons simultaneously on the remote control for up
to 20 seconds. During this time, the remote will display “LC” while it is transmitting codes to
the receiver. Once it has successfully transmitted, the burner will come on. If it does not work
the fi rst time wait for 1 minute and repeat steps 1 - 5.
7. Release both the PROG and PRESET buttons. The remote control will revert back to normal,
but the burner will still be on.
8. Press the ON/OFF button on the remote 2 times to turnn the burner off.
9. The remote control is now programmed to the receiver and the appliance can now be operated
with it.
The control box will only learn the Remote ID codes during the fi rst 30 seconds after power is applied and will ignore this special command from the Remote Control after the fi rst 30 seconds.
NOTE: This must only be performed by a qualifi ed installer.
IMPORTANT NOTE
When there is no signal from the Remote Control to the Receiver
either when the battery is low or the remote is out of range, the unit
will automatically shut down in 4 hours +/- 48 minutes.

Note: Ensure the Remote Control has been turned ON in order to operate in this mode.
Manual mode can be selected by pressing and releasing the AUTO/MAN button until the symbol
“MANUAL” is shown on the LCD.
In Manual mode, the Flame can be turned on and off using the Remote Control via the ON/OFF button.
AUTO MODE
There is a 3-minute delay built into the Remote Control. This delay will affect the “AUTO” and “PROG”
modes only. Which means the unit may not respond to specifi c instructions instantly when in either of
these 2 modes.
Note: Ensure the Remote Control has been turned “ON” in order to operate in this mode.
In Auto Mode the Remote Control operates as a thermostat to turn the fi re on and off depending on what
temperature setting it has been programmed to.
Auto mode can be selected by pressing and releasing the AUTO/MAN button until the symbol “AUTO”
is shown on the LCD.
In Auto mode, when either the “+” or “-” button is pressed, the Set Temperature will be displayed on the
LCD instead of the Room Temperature. The Set Temperature will remain displayed on the LCD for 5
seconds after the button is released and then the display will revert to show the Room Temperature. The
Set Temperature can be adjusted while it is displayed using the “+” and “-” buttons.
The LCD will show the following when either the “+” or “-” button is pressed:

Displaying Temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit
The default setting of the Remote Control is to display the temperature in Fahrenheit.
However, the Remote Control can be changed to display temperature in Celsius by the following
steps:
1. Ensure the Remote Control is switched off by using the On/Off button.
2. Press and hold the “-” button.
3. While the “-” button is held down, press and release the “+” button, this will toggle the
temperature display between °C and °F.
This setting is stored in memory hence the Remote Control will continue to display the
temperature in Celsius even if the battery is replaced.
