616 GSR Insert - Cheat Sheet
Page 1 of 2 17601749 Printed 11/28/12
The 616 GSR2 has several new features and characteristics that require special attention during installation and set-up. This
unit uses the new GreenSmart 2 system. Refer to the owner’s manual for full details.
GreenSmart™ 2
This heater has been updated with the 2013 version of GreenSmart™ 2 components from SIT. These components function in
a near identical fashion to the previous 2012 components. The primary differences are:
• The accent light now has dimming capability built into the remote.
• The pilot may be switched from intermittent (IPI) to standing pilot from the remote.
Remote Control / Pilot Warnings
Installing batteries in the battery holder or connecting the appliance to power may automatically initiate the CPI
pilot mode, resulting in a lit pilot flame. Do not place combustibles in the firebox.
KEEP BATTERIES AND COVER
INSTALLED AT ALL TIMES
The remote control system requires the batteries and battery cover to remain in place at all times. Once
the batteries or cover are removed, the system may re-start in standing pilot mode. If this occurs when
the heater is in Remote Mode, you will not be able to turn the heater off manually from the battery box.
If you need to replace dead batteries, make sure to turn the appliance off before removing the batteries.
NOTE: If the batteries go dead, the system will operate normally as long as household power (120v AC)
is present.
If using LP (Propane)
A conversion kit is required if using propane with this heater (sku 94400999 – GSR Stepper Motor Kit).

without the firebacks in place.
ORDER OF INSTALLATION
When setting up the insert, you will need to follow a specific order of installation to optimize
installation time. Failure to have all of the accessories available at the time of installation will delay
installation and may lead to unnecessary disassembly of components.
1. Run gas line to the fireplace
2. Remove the glass frame.
3. Run vent through fireplace chimney. On larger fireplaces, the vent connector may be left in place.
For smaller fireplaces, remove the vent connector. See “Vent Connector Removal and Installation”

before attaching the vent. See “Diffuser Adjustment” for details.
