b) The transmitter will automatically turn off the appliance when the
room temperature is more than one degree above the set temperature.
4. There may be a slight delay in the response of the unit (on/off) to a
temperature setting as room temperature is monitored every 3 minutes.
5. Press the”ON” button or”OFF”button or”MODE”button to exit the
thermostatic mode (Return to Manual Mode). The “ROOM” temp icon will
disappear on the lower LCD display. The transmitter will be in the manual

Transmitter Wall Clip"
The transmitter can be hung on a wall using the clip provided. If the clip
is installed on a solid wood wall, drill 1/8” pilot holes and install with the
screws provided. If it is installed on a plaster/wallboard wall, first drill
two 1/4” holes into the wall. Then use a hammer to tap in the two plastic
wall anchors flush with the wall; then install the screws provided.
THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS APPLY TO THE IF-SSKT
Receiver
Begin by installing (4) AA-size batteries. Slide open the battery cover on
receiver. It is recommended that ALKALINE batteries always be used for this
product. Be sure the batteries are installed with the (+) and (-) ends facing the
correct direction. Close battery cover.
Installation
The remote receiver can be either wall-mounted in a standard plastic switch box (not metal) or
placed on or near the fireplace hearth. Preferably, the remote receiver should be wall-mounted in a
plastic switch box, as this will protect its electronic components from the heat produced by the gas
appliance. The remote receiver should be kept away from temperatures exceeding 130º F. Battery life
is also significantly shortened if batteries are exposed to temperatures 130ºF or higher. Before
installation make sure the remote receiver slide switch is in the OFF position.
Wall Mount
When wall mounting the remote receiver, longer wires (not included) are required to connect to the
gas valve or electronic module.
These wires must:
Be at least 18 Gauge (AWG)
• Be no longer than 20’
• Have no splices
Hearth Mount
The remote receiver may be placed on the fireplace hearth or under the fireplace behind the control
access panel. Use the wires attached to the remote receiver to connect to the gas valve or an on/off
switch (included piggyback connectors have both male & female terminals for flexibility).Be sure that
the connectors do not touch each other or other bare metal surfaces.
Wiring The Remote To Valve
Connect one wire from the remote receiver to the TH terminal on the gas valve
Connect the other wire from the remote receiver to the TH/TP terminal on the gas valve

(See diagram below)
Slide Switch
1. ON position: the system will remain on until the slide switch is placed in the OFF or REMOTE
position."
2. REMOTE position: the system will only operate if the remote receiver receives a signal from the
transmitter."
3. OFF position: the system is off. The slide switch should be placed in the OFF position if you
will be away for an extended period of time. If the remote receiver is mounted out of
children’s reach, the OFF position also functions as a safety device by both turning the system
offand rendering the receiver inoperable.
Testing Your New Remote System
1. Light your gas appliance following the appliance lighting instructions that come with the
appliance. Confirm that the pilot light is on; it must be in operation for the remote control to
operate the main gas valve. Appliance control knob must be in the ON position. Appliance
ON/OFF switch must be in ON position.
2. Slide the 3 position button on the remote receiver to the ON position. The main gas flame
should ignite.
3. Slide the button to OFF. The flame should extinguish (the pilot light will remain on).
4. Slide the button to REMOTE (the center position), then press the transmitter to turn the
system to ON. The main gas flame should ignite.
5. Press the transmitter to turn the system to OFF. The flame should extinguish (the pilot light
will remain on).
