NOTICE: You must light the pilot

before using the hand-held re-

mote control unit. See Lighting

Instructions on page 10.

After lighting, let pilot flame burn for about

one minute. Turn control knob to ON posi-

tion. Adjust flame adjustment knob anywhere

between HI and LO. Flip AUTO/OFF/ON

switch to AUTO. Slide the selector switch

to the REMOTE position (see Figure 13).

Note:

The burner may light if hand-held

remote was on when selector switch was last

turned off. You can now turn the burner on and

off with the hand-held remote control unit.
IMPORTANT:

Do not leave the selector switch

in the REMOTE or ON position when the pilot

is not lit. This will drain the battery.

INSPECTING BURNERS

Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame pat-

terns often.

PILOT FLAME PATTERN

You can view the pilot light through the pilot

viewing hole on the pilot bracket. This is located

under the front grate bar on the right side of the

log set.
Figure 15 shows a correct pilot flame pattern.

Figure 16 shows an incorrect pilot flame pattern.

The incorrect pilot flame is not touching the ther-

mocouple. This will cause the thermocouple to

cool. When the thermocouple cools, the appliance

will shut down.
If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in

Figure 16
• turn appliance off (see To Turn Off Gas to

Appliance, page 10)

• see Troubleshooting, page 13
Note:

The pilot flame on natural gas units will

have a slight curve but flames should be blue and

have no yellow or orange color.
