1. Introduction
1.1. Welcome
Thanks for buying your Well Straler gas heater.
We are glad to have you as a customer. With this quality product you will enjoy the cosy warmth and uniqueflame dance for
many years.
Before using the heater, please read the instructions carefully and keep them in a safe place.
Installation must be carried out by a suitably qualified gas technician in accordance with the gas safety regulations that are
currently in effect. Make sure that you get informed by your technician about how to use, operate and maintain your
appliance. Every appliance has been tested, carefully adjusted and sealed in the factory in accordance with I2H or I3B/P
category. The warranty will only be valid if the service has been completed by a competent person (according the gas safety
regulations in force). Failure to install thefire correctlycould lead to prosecution.
The appliance is covered with a heat-resistant surface coating. During the first few hours of use, it is absolutely normal that
a harmless temporary odor is produced. This disappears after a short period. We advise you to let the appliance work for a
few hours in a well ventilated room.
1.2. Warranty
This product has a 2 year warranty counting from the date of installation, and this for manufacturing defects only. The
warranty is limited to a simple exchange of parts that are recognized as defective by our technical department, and not
giving cause by any means to further liability. Shipping costs and labor are not part of the warranty and have to be paid by
the user. Warranty will be invalidated if the appliance has been poorly maintained, used ina wrong way, has been damaged
in an accident or catastrophe of which the origin has no connection with the appliance itself, or if service has been done by
an unauthorized person. Delicate parts in contact with fire like glass etc. are not covered by warranty. Complaints are only
accepted whenmade througha recognized dealer.
1.3. Security
1.3.1. Built-in safeties in the control system
The system operates on radio frequency signals that are sent by the transmitter (remote) to the receiver in the appliance.
We recommend that the transmitter always be located withinthe operating range (± 6 m).
To avoid unpleasant situations, the system has several built-in safety measures that alert the user whenaction is needed.
1.3.2. Thermo safety - transmitter
The transmitter has a thermo-safety function built into its software. It provides an extra margin of safety when the appliance
is in the THERMO or PROGRAM mode.
The thermo-safety is activatedwhen the transmitter is moved beyond the maximum recommended operating range, which is
± 6 m. It is also activated when batteries become weak or are removed from the transmitter. The thermo-safety operates in
the following manner (only in THERMO or PROGRAM mode):
The room temperature is measured every 2 minutes by the transmitter and compared against the SET temperature. In
addition to check these temperatures, the transmitter sends an RF signal to the receiver, signaling that the transmitter is still
in the operating range. Should the receiver NOT receive a transmitter signal every 2 minutes, the IC software in the receiver
will begin a 45 minutes countdown timing function (thermo-safety function).
If the receiver does not receive a signal from the transmitter during this 45 minutes period, the system will shut down the
appliance. The receiver will produce a series of rapid beeps for a period of 10 seconds, followed by a single beep every 4
seconds until atransmitter signal is again received and the system is RESET.
To RESET the receiver: press the MODE button until OFF appears on the LCD-screen. It is now possible to operate the
appliance to the preferred working mode.

4
1.3.3. Communication safety – transmitter
The communication-safety operates in all operation modes (ON-THERMO-PROGRAM):
At all times and in all operating modes, the transmitter sends an RF-signal every 15 minutes to the receiver, signaling that
the transmitter is within the normal operating range of ± 6 m. Should the receiver not receive a transmitter signal, the
IC-software in the receiver will begin a 1 hour countdown timing function. If the receiver does not receive a signal from the
transmitter during this 1 hour period, the system will shut down the appliance. The receiver will produce a series of rapid
beeps for a period of 10 seconds, followed by a single beep every 4 seconds until a transmitter signal is again received and
the system is RESET.
To RESET the receiver: press the MODE button until OFF appears on the LCD-screen. It is now possible to operate the
appliance to the preferred working mode.
1.3.4. Thermo-safety – receiver
The system has a thermo-safety feature that is built into the receiver. This feature is temperature-activated and it provides
an extra margin of safety in case the receiver should be placed where ambient temperatures exceed 65°C. At 65°C the
thermistor will automatically shut down the fireplace and the receiver will begin emitting a series of 4 beeps every 2 seconds.
When the ambient temperature near the receiver drops under 50°C, you can reactivate the appliance by pushing MODE on
the transmitter.
1.3.5. Child Protection (CP)
The system includes a child-proof ‘lock-out’ feature that allows the user to ”lock-out’operation of the appliance from the
transmitter.
REMARK: If the appliance is already operating in ON, THERMO or PROGRAM modes, engaging the ”lock-out” will not
cancel the operating mode. It only prevents the manual operation of the transmitter. If the appliance is operating in AUTO
mode (thermo and/or program operation) it will continue working normally. To totally ”lock-out” the operation of the
transmitter’s operating signals, the transmitter’s mode must be set to OFF.

1.4. Appliances with ventilator
To prevent cold air to flow out of the cooled-down appliance, the ventilator begins working after the appliance has warmed
up (± 5 minutes warming up at the maximum rate). After extinction of the burner the ventilator keeps working for 15 minutes,
in order to use the residual warmth.

2. Commands of your appliance
Some advantages of the Well Straler new product generation:
•Automatic ignition without steady pilot;
•Precise digital temperature control in a rangeof ± 6 m from the heater;
•Wireless RF remote control of all the functions of your heater in a range of
± 6m;
•Four different operation modes: (ON/OFF – THERMOSTAT – WEEKLY
PROGRAM – COUNTDOWN TIMER);
•Full automatic pre-programmed weekly program with 4 independent
temperature ranges each day, seven days a week.
IMPORTANT
For the device to work correctly, the emitter and receiver must be well tuned to each other (cfr. LEARN, p.14). If the
range is lower than 6 m, the antenna of the receiver (black wire on the side) must be moved. If the receiver is in
safety mode (one beep every 20 seconds), it has to be reset. In that case switch the receiver OFF, and then again
on REMOTE.
2.1. Transmitter
The transmitter operates on 2 AAA-size 1,5V batteries. We recommend the use of ALKALINE BATTERIES for maximum
operation performance. Insert batteries into the battery compartment on the back of the transmitter, positioning the (+) and
(-) ends of the batteries as indicated. Once batteries are inserted, the temperature will display. If this is not the case please
check thatbatteries are inserted properly (check polarity).

2.5. Operating your appliance
2.5.1. Manual (ON/OFF)
Press MODE until the LCD-screen displays ON. Together with ON the LCD-screen will display FLAME and 1 flame
symbol. At this point the spark electrode will begin sparking to ignite the pilot for a period of approx. 60 seconds. As soon
as a flame is detected the sparking will stop, and after a few seconds the main burner will ignite. The flame height at this
stage will be LO. The appliance will burn aslong as it is not turned off manually, regardless of the room temperature.
REMARK: In case of a new installation, it is possible that the pilot does not ignite after 60 seconds, due to air in the gas
pipes. In this case the appliance will shut down and turn to secure mode. Before you can use the appliance again it has to
be reset. To reset the appliance press MODE till LCD-screen displays OFF. To ignite again: press MODE until LCD-screen
displays ON. Repeat this procedure until there is no more air in the gas pipes that lead to the appliance and the pilot ignites.
Once the pilot is on and the main burner is burning low, it is possible to change the flame height and the speed of the fan
with the FLAME and FAN•
toggle keys.
To switch off the device, pushMODE until OFFappears. Thepilot as well as the main burner will be quenched.
After this, the fan will still turn for about 15 minutes, until the remaining heat is fully utilized.
There is an additional safety imbedded in this mode of operation that will put the fire automatically to OFF after a period of
9 hours.

2.5.9. Low battery indicator
The word LOW outlined by a battery on the left side of the LCD-screen will appear
when battery power has dropped significantly. At this time, approximately two weeks of
battery power remains until the transmitter may experience partial or complete loss of
functions.
(REMARK: Wrong placementof the batteries will also result in the appearance ofLOW
on the screen.)
Here’s how to replace the batteries:
1. Push the MODE-button until OFF appears on the screen;
2. Remove the batteries one by one;
3. Place new batteries, minding their polarity.
Replacing the batteries in an operational mode (ON – THERMO – PROGRAM) can damage the microprocessor.
2.5.10. Place of the remote controlsystem
As the transmitter is also the thermostat of your appliance, it is preferable to locate the bracket on an inside wall, sufficiently
far away from direct sources of heat such as a fireplace, incandescent lighting or sunlight, in order for it to detect actual
ambient room temperatures, and not a single heat source. Before fixing the bracket to the wall, check if the transmitter is not
outside the operating range of the receiver! Normal operatingrange is ± 6 m,but can vary.
The system operates on RF-signals. The place of the antenna (black thread on the side of the receiver) determines the
operating range of the system. In order to get the system to function as good as it may, the antenna must be free in the
appliance.
Be careful: Transmitter and receiver must be placed at at least 1 meter from electromagnetic fields (such as TV,
radio, PC, microwave oven,…). Repeated exposure to magnetic fields reduces the operating capacity of the
appliances.

Access to the LEARN-button
2.6. Receiver
The receiver is built-in in your appliance and has a 3-position slide button:
•LEFT: OFF (the system is OFF)
•MIDDLE: REMOTE (the system only operates if the receiver receives commands from the transmitter)
•RIGHT: ON (the system remains ON in lowflame until the slide switch is placed in theOFF or REMOTE position)
We advise you to put the slide switch in the OFF position if you will be away from your home for an extended period of time
or during summer. Placing the slide switch in the OFF position also functions as a safety ”LOCK-OUT”by both turning the
system off and rendering the TRANSMITTER inoperative.
2.6.1. Matching security codes (LEARN)
Each transmitter can use one of the 1.048.576 security codes. It may be
necessary to program the remote receiver to LEARN the security code of the
transmitter, upon initial use, if batteries are replaced or if a replacement
transmitter is purchased. When matching security codes, be sure the slide
button on the RECEIVER is in the REMOTE position: the code will not LEARN
if the slide switch is in the ON or OFF position. Program the remote RECEIVER
to LEARN a new security code by pushing in the LEARN-button on the top of
the remote RECEIVER until a beep is heard and then simultaneously pressing
MODE on the TRANSMITTER. The RECEIVER will emit a series of rapid
beeps indicating the transmitter‘s code has been programmed into the receiver.
When an existing receiver is matched to a new transmitter, the new security
code will overwrite the old one
REMARK: The microprocessor that controls the security code matching procedure is controlled by a timer
function. If you are unsuccessful in matching the security code on the first attempt, wait 1-2 minutes before trying
