MANUAL LIGHTING
PROCEDURE
Note: All remote control accessories must
be purchased separately (see Accessories,
page 23). 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.
For wall thermostat operation, follow in-
struction supplied with thermostat acces-
sory GWMT1. For wall switch operation
follow instructions supplied with GWMS2.
OPTIONAL REMOTE
OPERATION
NOTICE: You must light the pilot
before using the hand-held re-
mote control unit. See
Lighting
Instructions on page 14.
1. After lighting, let pilot flame burn for
about one minute. Turn control knob
to ON position. Adjust flame adjust-
ment knob anywhere between HI and
LO. Slide the selector switch to the
REMOTE position.
Note: The burn-
ers may light if hand-held remote ON
button was on when selector switch
was last turned off. You can now turn
the burners on and off with the hand-
held remote control unit.
IMPORTANT: Do not leave the se-
lector switch in the REMOTE posi-
tion when the pilot is not lit. This will
drain the battery.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to press the
ON/OFF buttons on the hand-held
remote control unit for up to 3 sec-
onds to assure proper operation.
GHRC Operation:
2a. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the
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, page 16).
• 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 longer.
IMPORTANT: This remote control
has been specially engineered to
take an air temperature sample ev-
ery 5.5 minutes in the auto mode.
It will not respond immediately to
the temperature setting being
turned up or down.
IMPORTANT: The hand-held re-
mote 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 remote control unit will
heat up too quickly and turn the
heater off.
