10 | P a g e

11 | P a g e
IMPORTANT. The location of the remote control handset is important to assure proper temperature regulation. To
obtain a constant temperature. Flare recommends that the handset should be between 3 and 15 feet away from the
appliance but not directly above it. We also advise that the handset should be located away from any other heat
source and not in direct sunlight as this may affect the temperature sensor located in the remote handset.

12 | P a g e
RECEIVER AND REMOTE BATTERIES
Batteries –Remote
2 x AAA (alkaline recommended).
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.
An AC Mains Adapter may be connected in addition to batteries.
Without using a mains AC adapter, battery replacement is recommended at the beginning of each heating
season as part of the yearly service check.
CAUTION, DO NOT USE a screwdriver or other metallic object to remove the batteries from the battery box!
This could cause a short circuit to the system.
PAIRING REMOTE WITH FIREPLACE RECEIVER
Your remote will come paired with the fireplace receiver to allow operation out of the box. In an event, paring will
need to be redone (remote replacement, receiver replacement, etc.). Use the following procedure to pair the remote
with the receiver:
Press and hold the receiver’s reset button (see figure 21) until you hear two (2) beeps. The first beep is short
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
sequence has failed or the wiring is incorrect.

WALL SWITCH –OPTIONAL
The Wall Switch can be used to control your fireplace.
Following operation can be done from the wall switch:
Turn On fireplace.
Turn Off fireplace.

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 from 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.

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.
