Fireplace Thermostat Fix Kit – 228-30035
Printed 12/23/02 Page 1 of 6
Overview
This kit contains a remote that has been specially created to replace faulty modulating remotes
(SKU 99300652) It is intended as a fix for those remotes that are not working correctly.
This Remote is Non-Modulating
This remote does not have a modulating circuit. Therefore, you have two options for using this
remote:
• Option A Manually over-ride the regulator on the gas control valve. This will make the
heater operate with a high flame. If you do not insert the pin, the heater will operate at the
low flame height. Use the pin included with the modulating remote.
Twist and remove
the clear plastic
regulator cover
(be careful - it is
fragile). Remove the pin held
in this hole.

Replace the plastic cover to
secure the pin in place.
• Option B Remove the modulating regulator and replace with a stock regulator (LP or NG).

THERMOSTAT MODE:

TO ADJUST TARGET
TEMPERATURE:
Use the arrow keys to adjust the target
temperature to the desired level.
The heater will turn on and off to keep
the room temperature near the target
temperature.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
-- The thermostat has a delay to prevent
the heater from turning on and off
repeatedly. As a result, the target
temperature may be slightly higher (2°
or 3°) than the room temperature yet
the heater does not turn on –do not
adjust the target temperature –the
heater will turn on in a few minutes.
-- The thermostat is not intended for un-
attended use. If the thermostat calls for
heat for 6 hours continuously, it will shut
off and not turn on until reset.
HINT:
If your heater turns on
and off frequently, adjust
the flame height down
slightly for a more
consistent heat output.

If the heater is on (any mode) and the batteries go dead, the heater will turn off after 6 hours. To operate the
heater, use the switch on the heater to turn the heater on and off.
OPERATION DURING POWER OUTAGES
If a power outage occurs, the receiver will turn the heater off. Once power is restored, the remote will turn the
heater on (if the remote calls for heat) within 30 minutes. If you wish to over-ride the remote and turn the
heater on (gas stoves only), turn the on/off switch on the gas heater to "ON".
