ment knob anywhere between HI and

burners on and off. When turning
burners off, the pilot will remain lit.
GHRCT Operation:
2b. Select the MAN (manual) or AUTO
button on the hand-held remote con-
trol unit (see Figure 24).
• In manual mode, turn burners on
or off by pressing the ON or OFF
buttons on the hand-held remote
control unit.
• In auto mode, the room tempera-
ture is controlled by the thermo-
stat in the hand-held remote con-
trol unit. To increase the room tem-
perature, press the top arrow of the
TEMP button. To lower room the
temperature, press the bottom ar-
row of the TEMP button. At higher
settings the heater will run more.
IMPORTANT: This remote control
has been specially engineered to take
an air temperature sample every 5.5
minutes in the auto mode. It will not
respond immediately to the tempera-
ture setting being turned up or down.
IMPORTANT: The hand-held remote
control unit must be near the heater.
Do not keep the hand-held remote
control unit too close to the heater.
The thermostat on the hand-held re-
mote control unit will heat up too
quickly and turn the heater off.

held remote control unit to see the
operation mode being used and the
temperature setting selected. A red
light will come on beside the opera-
tion mode being used when the sta-
tus button is pressed.

ing in the manual mode, press the OFF
button. If operating in the auto mode,
press the MAN button, then press the
OFF button. The pilot will remain lit.
IMPORTANT: To turn the pilot off,
manually turn the control knob on the
heater to the OFF position.
Note: All remote control accessories must
be purchased separately (see Accessories,
page 25). Follow instructions included
with the remote control.
Thermostat Control Operation
(Optional GHRCT Only) The thermo-
stat control setting on the remote control
unit can be set to any comfort level be-
tween HI and LO. The burners will turn
on and off automatically to maintain the
comfort level you select. The ideal com-
fort setting will vary by household de-
pending upon the amount of space to be
heated, the output of the central heating
system, etc.

struction supplied with thermostat acces-
sory GWMT1. For wall switch operation
