AUTO MODE
In Auto Mode the remote will adjust the flame setting and fan speed according to the
temperature difference between the Set Temperature and the Room Temperature.
When the set temperature is higher than the room temperature by more than
2.5°C, the flame will be at the highest setting (6) and the fan speed will default to
the lowest setting (1).
As the set temperature approaches room temperature, the flame level will reduce
accordingly. When the set temperature is equal to the room temperature, the
flame will stay at the lowest setting, and the fan will turn off.
Once the room temperature is higher than the set temperature by 2°C, the flame
will turn OFF.
Auto mode can be selected by pressing and releasing the AUTO/MAN button until the
symbol “AUTO” is shown on the LCD.
In Auto mode, when either the “+” or “-” button is pressed, the Set Temperature will be
displayed on the LCD instead of the Room Temperature. The Set Temperature will
remain displayed on the LCD for 5 seconds after the button is released and then the
display will revert to show the Room Temperature. The Set Temperature can be adjusted
while it is displayed using the “+” and “-” buttons.
