Optional, wireless, wall mounted timer allows for a timed, worry-free operation.
Special considerations should be made when selecting a location for your heater before installation. The most important
of which should be a location that will serve to be the most functional and useful in providing heat. Suggested locations
would be under an eave, on a wall of an open or partially enclosed patio, or on a fascia. This heater has been
thoroughly tested and certified to function during and after mild rain storms, and during mild wind conditions. We
would like to point out, however, that by avoiding locations that subject your heater to constant wind or rain exposure,
will greatly extend the life or your new heater. Other considerations should be its mounting position in relation to
combustible materials. Combustible materials include wood, wood fascias, wood siding, stucco mounted over wood
studs, vinyl siding, and drywall. See installation diagrams that reference mounting distances.
MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS
Select a location that provides the most functionality.
Avoid locations that are prone to direct wind or rain exposure.
This heater provides ample heat and large heat adjustability. It does not have to be located at eye level, as, its
high output will allow a distant location to still be affective.
Do not mount this heater indoors or in a totally enclosed room. It needs air to breath and vent.

P a g e | 2
Avoid locations that are in close proximity to combustible materials (see illustration diagrams and mounting
distances)
Avoid locations that are so low that, it could cause danger for those passing by.
Standard and preferred installation places the gas exit (and vented valve access cover) of the heater on the
RIGHT side. This position places the gas exit and the AC adaptor cord at the REAR of the heater installation.
This method is preferred , not only from a visual standpoint, but allows for slightly less pipe routing, and
creates more pivot adjustability . There are times, however, given a particular gas origination location, where
right side hook up is not practical. The left side installation is still acceptable, and the heater will perform
equally as well. Simply consider that there will be slightly more gas line routing to perform.
Do not mount heater within a close proximity to fire sprinklers (4 ft minimum recommended) to avoid
accidental activation of the sprinklers.
As heater placement is being evaluated, also consider whether the AC adaptor will be used (recommended)
and the DC battery operation becomes a secondary, back up battery source. If so, consider the proximity of
the nearest 110V AC GFI grounded power outlet to the location of the heater. The power cord on the AC
adaptor is 24 In. long and plugs directly into the right side wall of the heater. If there is no AC GFI grounded
outlet near the desired installation site, then one needs to be added by a qualified electrician. An outdoor
extension cord can also be used, on a temporary basis, to bring AC power to the adaptor plug location.
CODE REQUIREMENTS
When an appliance is to be connected to a fixed piping system, the Installation must be in accordance with local codes,
or in the absence of codes, with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z224 (for Canada, CAN/CGA-
B149.1 and -B149.2).
If AC power is being routed for AC/DC Transformer hook-up, then the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 shall apply
(for Canada, the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 Part 1 and Part 2 shall apply)
GAS SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS
Each Lynx Eave Mount Patio Heater is built specifically to be run either with NG (Natural Gas) or LP (Liquid Propane).
This heater is dedicated to one of these two gas types and it is not easily field convertible. Identify the type of gas that
you will be using, and identify the heater gas type. This can be found on the rating label which has been placed on the
inside of the valve compartment, behind the access cover.
The Gas Inlet Pressure for this heater is as follows:
FUEL W.C. MAX INLET PRESSURE W.C. MIN. INLET PRESSURE PRESSURE AT VALVE
NG 10 IN. 6.0 IN. 5.0 IN.
LP 13 IN 11 IN. 10 IN.
It is important that the inlet gas piping system be size properly for the gas appliance that it serves. Please use the above
chart to for verification of the Gas Inlet Pressure required for this product.

P a g e | 3
A minimum pipe size of ½” is required for inlet piping. The supplied exit coupling of this heater is ½”NPT (female). A ½”
leaver-handled, manual gas shut-off valve should be installed within 6 feet of the appliance to allow emergency gas
shut-off and provide isolation for servicing.
All gas pipe connections to the heater must be sealed with gas pipe compound or Teflon sealing tape. Prior to use, the
gas supply line should be checked for leaks by applying a mild solution of soap and water. Never use an open flame to
check for leaks. See section titled ‘Checking for Gas Leaks’ on page 10.
Keep all gas supply lines as short as possible because gas lines lose pressure over distance. Additionally, each ‘T’ or
elbow that is added to the line can also reduce pressure. This drop in pressure can affect overall heater performance.
IMPORTANT NOTE: There is a pressure tap built into the valve system used on the Lynx Eave Mount Patio Heater. To
access this tap, remove the 2 screws which hold the louvered plate on the END CAP of the heater. Remove this plate
and look for the 2 smaller, slotted, brass screws. The uppermost screw is the OUTLET pressure (as seen when the
heater is pointed downward). The lower screw is the INLET pressure. To access either inlet for taking measurements,
turn the screw until it becomes loose. It will not fall out, as, it is captivated in the valve. Be sure to re-tighten screw
after pressure measurements have been taken.
A typical gas supply line might consist of ½” piping beginning at the gas supply source. This line will be routed, within the
shortest possible distance, up to the vicinity of the heater location (30 Ft. MAX). This line, as previously mentioned, will
have a ½” lever- handled gas shut-off valve installed in-line, and within 6-feet of the termination point. After final heater
positioning and mounting angle is created, the pipe line is then routed directly to the ½” NPT (female) coupling at the
end of the heater. As an alternate to this installation, after the gas line has been routed to the vicinity of the heater, and
after final positioning and pivot angle has been determined, a short gas flex line can be installed from the end of the
hard pipe to the ½” NPT (female) coupling on the heater. This flex line should be 1/2” I.D. (5/8” O.D.), Stainless Steel,
with ½”MIP fittings at both ends. A ½” FIP coupling will then be used to connect the flex line to the hard pipe. The use of
this flex line allows for additional angle (pivot) adjustment of the heater after installation has been complete.
All gas connections must be made by a qualified technician, specifically trained in the installation of this type of gas
appliance. Some states or provinces require this trained personnel be licensed. Installations must be performed in
accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, the regulations governed by that state or province.

MOUNTING THE HEATER
Initial mounting considerations have been discussed, and now it’s time commit your placement theory into motion.
Consider the following pieces of information to help you through: The Lynx Eave Mount Patio Heater is made from the
finest materials available- heavy gauge stainless steel. As a result, this heater is heavy- It weighs around 50 pounds and
must be mounted securely. The ‘100 pound rule’ should be followed, whereas, it must be mounted such that the
anchors will support at least 100 pounds, or it may be considered a ‘suspension hazard’. FAILURE TO INSTALL THE
HEATER IN SUCH A MANNER MAY CAUSE THE HEATER TO FALL, RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, INJURY, OR
DEATH. ADDITIONALLY, LOCAL CODES REGARDING HEAD CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS MUST BE OBSERVED. Each
mounting bracket is provided with (4) mounting holes. A quantity of (8) 5/16 x 1/1-2” Stainless lag bolts have been
provided for installation. If mounting into solid wood, for example, an eave joist , then only 2 holes (front to back holes)
per bracket need to be used (the inside holes nearest the vertical wall). Otherwise, use all (4) holes per bracket. If
mounting into a ‘hollow surface’, for example, stucco over wallboard and studs, , then 5/16” anchors, that are
appropriate for the mounting surface ,must be used (not provided).The distance between the outermost holes of the
mounting brackets, across the heater length , is 48”. This distance is intended to accommodate standard roof joist
spacing of 24” O.C. The distance between the innermost holes of the mounting brackets is 45-1/2”. The short distance
between the holes (side to side) on each mounting bracket is 1-1/4”. The long distance (front-to back) is 4-1/2” between
the holes. See illustration.
Mounting Bracket Spacing

P a g e | 5
If it has been determined that the heater be mounted straight down, i.e., with no angle on its pivot point, then the
heater should be mounted NO CLOSER than 14” from the ceiling. The side clearances should be NO CLOSER than 12” to
a side wall, and the rear clearances should be NO CLOSER than 12” to a rear wall. Use the LOWEST pair of holes in the
mounting bracket extension arms. See illustration below.
Straight Mounting
If it has been determined that the heater be mounted at an angle, up to 30 degrees on its pivot, then the heater should
be mounted NO CLOSER than 18” from the ceiling. The side clearances should be NO CLOSER than 12” to a side wall,
and the rear clearances should be NO CLOSER than 12” to a rear wall. Use the HIGHEST pair of holes in the mounting
bracket extension arms. See illustration below.
Angled Mounting

P a g e | 6
IMPORTANT NOTE: Use only the mounting brackets provided with this heater. Heater must be installed in a horizontal
manner parallel with the ground. The heater can, however, be tilted upward to a maximum of 30 degrees. NEVER
mount the heater on a vertical axis. Such an installation is considered unsafe and will void all warranties.
Eave Fascia Mounting
If it has been determined that the heater will be mounted on the fascia of an eave, then the heater should be mounted
with the brackets in the EXTENDED position only. The heater can be mounted in either the straight down position, or
angled upward to a maximum of 30 degrees AWAY from the house. DO NOT MOUNT HEATER TOWARD the house, as,
this position would allow exhaust heat to be directed toward the combustible fascia. It is important to note that, when
mounting on a fascia, the lower pivot mounting screw (normally located within the curved slot) will NOT be used.
In all mounting configurations, it is critical to NOT exceed a MAXIMUM pivot angle of 30 degrees. When using this
mounting configuration, since the lower pivot bolt will not be used, the maximum angle control slot will also not be
used. The maximum 30 degree pivot angle can be determined by sighting the angled surface near the top of the heater .
When this surface is parallel with the ground, the heater is at 30 degrees ( See illustration on page 8). When mounting
on a fascia, NO PORTION OF THE HEATER SHALL BE CLOSER THAN 12 INCHES FROM THE FASCIA SURFACE.

P a g e | 7
Mounting Bracket Assembly
Locate and assemble the mounting brackets based on your pre-determined mounting distance to the ceiling (14” if
mounting flat, 18” if mounting at an angle). Slide the long bracket extension INSIDE the main mounting bracket until the
intended set of holes align. The entrance slot is at the bottom of the main mounting bracket. For each bracket, use
quantity (2) ¼-20 x ½” Hex Bolts (provided). Carefully insert each screw through the 2 larger holes of the main mounting
bracket and through the lower holes (for the 14” position),OR through the 2 upper holes (for the 18” position) of the
mounting bracket extension. Tighten both nuts securely. Snap the decorative cap over each larger hole of the main
mounting bracket. Repeat for other bracket. See illustration below.

P a g e | 8
After assembling the mounting brackets, they can now be installed in the pre-selected location. Please again refer to
the mounting bracket spacing diagram, page 4. The spacing of the outer-most sets of holes of the mounting brackets is
48”. The spacing of the inner-most sets of holes is 45-1/2”. These numbers are given to you as a reference for planning.
Mount one single mounting bracket first. Choose the side which may be the closest to a combustible material. This way,
it is easier to measure and determine that the exact minimim clearance is being adhered to . If mounting onto wood,
predrill pilot holes using ¼” drill. (If surface is other than wood, then anchors will need to used- follow instructions that
come with the anchors) If the mounting bracket is resting entirely on the wood surface, mount using all (4) screws per
bracket. It mounting on the edge of a wood joist, then use the 2 holes closest to the vertical wall of the bracket.
Install the second bracket such that the outer most sets of holes are 48” from outer-most set of holes on the first
bracket. THIS WILL CREATE A RESULTING DIMENSION OF EXACTLY 49-3/32” BETWEEN THE EXTENSION ARMS OF THE
BRACKET. If not, then remeasure and mark again. Pre-drill and mount the second bracket.
Place the heater into location, on the ground , directly under the mounting brackets- Using 2 people, and 2 ladders,
carefully lift the heater into position. Place the heater inside the extension arms of the brackets and secure the heater
at both ends, first with (2) ¼-20 x 1” hex head bolts. Mount screws in the UPPER holes first. Tilt the heater into the pre-
determined angular position (0-30 degrees). Install the second set of ¼-20 x 1” hex head bolts through the curved slots
directly below the first holes. The maximum 30 degree angle will be achieved when the screw is ‘bottomed out’ at one
end of the curved slot. This angle can also be sited by looking at the angled surface on the back of the heater. When the
angled surface is PARALLEL to the ground (or the ceiling) the then heater is at 30 degrees. DO NOT MOUNT THE HEATER
MORE THAN 30 DEGREES, as damage can occur to the protective grill. Always use the 2 bolts per side and always use
the bottom curved slot for angle positioning (EXCEPTION- eave fascia mounting does not require bottom bolt for
mounting).
MAKING THE GAS CONNECTIONS
Gas connections will vary considerably depending on heater mounting location selected and the gas type (NG or LP)
being used. See also previous section ‘Gas Supply and Connections’. Prior to mounting the heater, the gas connections
were considered and an overall routing ‘plan’ was established. A minimum pipe size of ½” is required for inlet piping.
The supplied exit coupling of this heater is ½”FIP (female). A ½” leaver- handled manual gas shut-off valve should be
installed within 6 feet of the appliance to allow emergency gas shut-off and provide isolation for servicing.

P a g e | 9
All gas pipe connections to the heater must be sealed with gas pipe compound or Teflon sealing tape. Prior to use, the
gas supply line should be checked for leaks by applying a mild solution of soap and water. Never use an open flame to
check for leaks. See section titled ‘Checking for Gas Leaks’, page 10.
Run the gas line to the vicinity of the heater. It is recommended that the gas line be securely fixed to the wall or
mounting surface. WARNING: do not run gas line in a location that it can be tripped over or in a location that passes
by either the heat output or the exhaust of the heater. This gas line can now be attached directly to the heater using a
series of elbows and short sections of straight pipe (nipples), sufficient to lead gas piping from the wall to the inlet of the
heater. The final fitting will be a ½”NPT male pipe to mount directly into the heater. A convenient alternative to this
termination point is to run a flexible gas line directly from the termination point of the hard piping to the inlet of the
heater. This typical flexible line would be ½” I.D. (5/8” O.D.) stainless steel, with ½” MIP (male) fittings at both ends.
(Lynx P/N 31546). A ½” FIP (female) coupling would then be used to connect the flex line to the hard pipe. Please note,
for Natural Gas (NG) installations, a regulator is not required, as the heater is equipped with a built-in regulator inside
the valve. For Propane (LP) installations, always use the regulator that is provided with the propane flexible
connection hose.
An alternative to the hard pipe installation (NG or LP) is to use a flexible hose which mounts directly from the main gas
source and extends directly into the heater inlet. Lynx provides such a hose. Please order Lynx P/N LQD-EM if this type
of installation is desired. See illustrations below for all three installation techniques.

P a g e | 10
CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS
DANGER! To prevent fire or explosion, DO NOT smoke or allow any potential source of ignition (sparks, electrical
arcing, cell phones, etc.) in the area while performing a leak test. Leak tests should be conducted outdoors only.
Never conduct a leak test using fire or open flame.
The following leak test proceedure is to be performed on all newly installed gas pipes, fittings, and connections:
1. Create a soapy solution of 1 part dish soap and 3 parts water.
2. Turn ON the fuel supply. For Natural Gas (NG), turn the in-line manual gas shut-off lever ¼ turn so that the lever
is parallel and in-line with the pipe or hose. For Liquid Propane (LP) , open the gas cyinder knob by a minimum of
1 full turn and if connected to the Lynx LQD-EM, turn the in-line valve ¼ turn so that the lever is parallel and in-
line with the hose.
3. Apply the soap solution by squirt bottle or paint brush on all connections and fittings.
4. If bubbles appear to ‘grow’ on any of the connections, you have a gas leak. IMMEDIATELY turn OFF the gas
supply.
FIXING A GAS LEAK:
1. At the identified point of leakage, assure that the joint was sealed with gas pipe compound or Teflon sealing
tape. If either of these are missing, then the connection must be unassembled and reassembled with proper
sealing compound.
2. If the connection has the proper sealing compound, then tighten the fittings further. Re-apply the soap solution
and re-test for gas leaks.
3. If gas leak still exists, then it is recommended that the entire section of pipe and fittings around the leak be
unassembled. Examine each fitting and assure that all threads are ‘true’ and that no fittings or pipe have
deformation. If so, replace them with new fittings. Once again, apply sealing compound around all joints and re-
assemble the pipes and fittings. If a flexible gas line is being used to connect the heater to the hard piping, and
the leak is at that section, then be certain the fitting attached to the heater is the proper ½” MIP fitting, and the
fitting at the other end is also a ½” MIP fitting used with a ½” coupling to join to the ½” pipe. Very often, a flex
hose such as this is created with removable fittings at the ends to create the ½” MIP thread. These removable
fittings themselves use a flare thread, and not a pipe thread. NEVER USE SEALING COMPOUND OR TEFLON
TAPE ON FLARED FITTINGS.
4. Reapply soap solution on all fittings and repeat as necessary until all leaks have been sealed.
5. If a leak appears at an LP cylinder valve, DO NOT ATTEMPT to repair it. The only way to safely resolve a
damaged cylinder is to replace it.

P a g e | 11
MAKING THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
If the AC adaptor is NOT being used, and it is intended to run the heater from battery power only, then NO special
electrical connections need to be considered. Assure the the AC/DC output plug, at the right end of the heater, is
covered with the rubber plug that is mounted under the jack.
If the AC adaptor IS being used, the battery function becomes secondary and used as back-up. Electrical connections
need to be considered.
An approved, GFI protected, grounded, 110V AC, OUTDOOR outlet box and electrical receptacle must be installed
within 24 in. of the AC/DC output plug located at the right end of the heater. This box must be installed by a qualified
electrician and must be placed in a location that is sheltered from rain. Plug the transformer directly into the electrical
socket. Plug the jack, at the other end of the transformer cord, into the corresponding jack receptacle of the heater.
Secure any loose or dangling wires with tape, wire ties, or insulated wire staples.
An alternate to this connection is to run an outdoor extension cord from the closest GFI protected, 110 V grounded
outlet to a distance of within 24 in. from the right end (jack location) of the heater. This cord and connection must be
sheltered from the rain, and must not be in direct line with either the heat output coming from the front of the heater
OR the exhaust gasses exiting the top of the heater. It is recommended that this cord be secured to the wall (or similar
structure) with either tape, wire ties, or insullated wire staples. This installation is condsidered a TEMPORARY
installation.
WIRELESS WALL SWITCH
Select a location for this switch, but do not mount it at this time. Select a location that it out of reach of children, and is
just LOW enough to be reached by an adult. It is recommended that the wall switch be mounted near the heater (within
10 ft) so the heater can both be SEEN and HEARD during operation of the wall switch. This wall switch mounts on a flat
surface with the mounting screws provided. Double sided tape (not provided) will also work for this step.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
Wireless Wall Switch-This unit uses (2) pre-installed 3V Lithium Batteries CR2032. If batteries were not previously
installed, remove the cover by inserting a small screw driver into one of the slots on the side. Twist the screw driver
slightly to snap open the cover from the body. (do not attampt to remove the small screws at the bottom). Insert the
provided lithium batteries (Posiitive (+) side up), making sure the edge of the battery is inserted UNDER the small
battery retaining clip. If the wall switch will be mounted with the provided screws, then mount into position (while the
cover is still off) at this time. After mounted, snap the cover back onto the wall switch body. See pictures below.

INITIALIZING THE REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM- REFERENCE ONLY
Locate the wireless wall switch, and press the “OFF” button. Confirm that the red LED flashes. The LED will flash every
time that any of the 4 buttons is pushed. This confirms that the unit is functioning, and that the button selection has
been confirmed. NOTE: in ALL cases, the remote controls have already been factory initialized.Press the ‘ON’button
on the wallswitch to confirm. You will hear ‘clicking’coming from the heater. Press the ‘OFF’button immediately and
proceed to the next section ‘BASIC OPERATION OF YOUR HEATER’.
The receiver is located inside the valve compartment and is accessible through the louvered plate on the right END CAP
of the heater. If this plate is still off from the battery installation, then proceed to the next paragraph. Otherwise,
remove the 2 screws holding the end plate in position, and rotate the plate, from the bottom, until the plate is free from
the heater. Allow the plate to hang below the heater (it is connected to the battery wires).
Look inside the compartment and locate the black vinyl cover cap on the side of the module enclosure. Peel the cap off
with your finger nail or screw driver. Look inside the box and notice the small botton on the side of the receiver. This is
the LEARN button. See illustration below. With the wall switch in one hand, and a paper clip or the tip of a writing pen
in the other hand, press the ‘LEARN’ button of the receiver. Release the LEARN button. You will hear one beep. Now
press the ‘ON’ button on the wall switch. Once the code is accepted, you will hear four beeps in rapid succession. You
should now hear the pilot sparking rapidly. This indicates that your programming was successful. If the pilot did not
begin to spark, then repeat the above process. After programming, press the ‘OFF’ button to turn the system off.
NOTE: the wireless wall switch can now be mounted (if not previously mounted), on a flat surface, at your
predetermined location. Use the screws provided with the switch or double sided tape for mounting (not provided).

Once the wireless wall switch has been successfully programmed, repeat the process with the touch screen remote
control. Once again, press the LEARN button on the receiver. Release the LEARN button. You will now hear a single beep.
Now push the lower, center MODE SET button on the transmitter until the word ‘ON’is displayed in the upper left hand
corner. Once the code is accepted, you will hear four beeps in rapid succession. You should also hear the pilot sparking
rapidly. This confirms that the signal has been received, and your programming was successful. Press the mode button
until ‘OFF’is displayed at the top right side of the screen. Re-confirm proper functioning by turning the transmitter back
to ‘ON’and listening for rapid sparking of the pilot. Once confirmed, press the mode set button until ‘OFF’ appears, to
shut the system off.
Replace the plastic cap over the LEARN BUTTON access hole. Replace the louvered end plate over the open end of the
heater and tighten the two screws.
Refer to the section ‘TOUCH SCREEN REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION’ to learn more about the remote operations that
are possible with your Lynx Heater.
BASIC OPERATION OF YOUR HEATER
Your new Lynx Eave Mount Patio Heater has been designed with cutting edge technology and easily operates with either
the manual ON-OFF-HI-LOW wall switch or with the use of a touch screen remote control. Please study the section of
this manual entitled ‘Remote Control Operation’ to allow a full understanding of the heater’s capabilities.
Manual Operation
1. TURN THE GAS ON. If this is a Natural Gas (NG) installation, turn the manual shut-off valve lever ¼ turn so that
the lever is parallel and in-line with the gas line. If this is a Liquid Propane (LP) installation, open the gas cylinder
valve by a minimum of one full turn, and if connected to the Lynx LQD-EM, turn the in-line valve lever by ¼ turn
so that the lever is parallel and in-line with the gas line.
2. At the wall switch, push the ‘ON’ button, and listen for the pilot to spark rapidly. After the pilot sparks, you will
hear the small pilot flame ignite. Shortly after that, you will hear the main burner of the heater ignite. When
using the wall switch, the heater will light on ‘HIGH’ regardless of the previous setting when it was turned off.
Allow the heater to warm up for a few seconds, and then press the ‘LO’ button to adjust the heat downward.
Each press of the button will lower (or raise) the heat level by one increment. If you hold the ‘HI’ button
continuously, the heat level will advance more rapidly. Likewise, when you press the ‘LO’ button , the heat will
become lower by one increment, and by pressing the ‘LO’ button continuously, the heat level will decrease more
rapidly. Push the “OFF’ button when finished using the heater.
‘OFF’ Button ‘ON’ Button
3. IMPORTANT NOTE: When the heater is being lit for the first time after installation, or after hooking up a gas line for
the first time, the gas lines will need to purge themselves of the air to fill with gas. Depending on the length of gas
lines, this may take a few minutes or possibly more. The spark ignition system is designed to spark for 1 minute, and

then ‘time out’. This is part of the safety system. If this occurs, simply turn the wall switch to OFF, and then turn
back to ON. The spark will return to its normal function. Repeat this operation until the pilot lights. Once the pilot
lights, the heater will light within seconds.
4. ALSO NOTE: when the heater is operated for the first time, there may be a certain level of smoke exiting the heater
exhaust vents. This may last for up to 15 minutes. This is NORMAL. This is a result of the manufacturing oils, cleaning
oils, and anti-seize lubricants, burning away under high temperature for the first time. After this ‘break-in’ period,
your heater should function normally, emitting no additional smoke.
Touch Screen Remote Control Operation
Before attempting to operate your remote, you must be sure that the remote control has been ‘initialized’ or paired
with the receiver. Please see the section of this manual titled ‘Initializing the Remote Control System ’, page 13.
Changing from Degrees Fahrenheit (F) to Degrees Celsius (C)
When the remote control is OFF, the current air temperature is displayed in the upper right hand corner of the
display window. This temperature will read either in degrees Fahrenheit (F) or degrees Celsius (C). To alternate
and change between degrees (F) and degrees (C), with the remote in the OFF position, simply press the DOWN
arrow key and the UP arrow key at the same time briefly. Use a short click and do not hold the buttons down
continuously. Please refer to the diagram ‘Touch Screen Remote Control Layout’, page 16, for reference.
