Matching Remote Handset and Control Box 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 Remote Control Handset.
To ensure the remote control is matched to the receiver correctly, please follow the steps
below:
1. Ensure that the Remote Control and the 3-way switch located at the appliance are
both in the OFF position.
2. Ensure that the pilot is lit and the pilot control knob is in the ON position on the
appliance.
3. Install the 2 x AAA alkaline batteries into the Remote Control.
4. Unplug and re-plug the power cord. The power cord is located on the left hand
side of the appliance and will be plugged into the receptacle.
5. Switch the 3-way switch located on the appliance to the REMOTE position.
6. Press and hold the PROG and FAN buttons simultaneously for up to 20 seconds.
During this time, the remote will display LC while it is transmitting codes to the
receiver. Once it is successfully transmitted, one will hear the solenoid click and
the burners will come on. If is does not work the first time, repeat steps 1 - 6.
7. Release both the PROG and FAN buttons. The remote will revert back to normal,
but the burner will still be on.
8. Press the ON/OFF button on the remote control 2 times to turn 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 first 30 seconds after
power is applied and will ignore this special command from the Remote after the first 30
seconds.
NOTE: This must only be performed by a qualified installer.

AUTO MODE
In Auto Mode the remote will adjust the flame setting and fan speed according to the
temperature difference between the Set Temperature and the Room Temperature.
When the set temperature is higher than the room temperature by more than
2.5°C (4.5°F), the flame will be at the highest setting (7) and the fan speed will
default to the lowest setting (1).
As the set temperature approaches room temperature, the flame level will reduce
accordingly. When the set temperature is equal to the room temperature, the
flame will stay at the lowest setting, and the fan will turn off.
Once the room temperature is higher than the set temperature by 2°C (3.6°F), the
flame will turn OFF.
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:
