•Low battery indicator on handsets with display.
•Battery replacement is recommended after 2 years.
Batteries – Receiver
•4 x 1.5 V “AA” (alkaline ONLY).
•Low battery indication: frequent beeps for 3 seconds when motor turns.

and the second beep is long. After the second beep, release the reset button.
•Within the subsequent 20 seconds, press the (Down Arrow) button on the handset until you hear two
additional short beeps confirming the code is set. If you hear one long beep, this indicates the code learning

add and arrange media in your Fireplace:
•Do not place any type of media on the pilot or in front of the pilot. Keep 1” distance from the pilot to allow
correct operation of the pilot.
•Media can be put over the Flare burner. Avoid placing media over the main burner ports as it may disrupt
flame in case of a clogged port.
•If using media that was not supplied by Flare Fireplace, make sure that the media is certified/suitable to be
used in direct vent gas fireplaces.
•Keep the pilot front cover view open in order to be able to view the pilot spark and flame from outside.
•Fireglass:
a. ¼” or ½” fireglass may be used.
b. When the fireplace window is open and media is placed, make sure fireglass does not fall on the
ceramic glass lower frame as that may cause breakage when putting back the ceramic glass.
c. Make sure pilot is clear of any fireglass particles.
d. Flare fireglass can be put safely in to the firebox. Avoid overloading the burner with fireglass,
specifically over the main burners ports.
•Maintain minimum distance of ¼” from media to the fireplace glass panels.
•Use the manual for instruction on how to remove and place back the fireplace glass in order to put or arrange
the fireplace media.
