NOTICE: You must light the pilot before using the remote control unit.
See Lighting Instructions
on page 14.
GHRCTB Series Operation:
2a. Press the AUTO/ON/OFF button on the hand-held remote control
(see Figure 21). The lights to the left of the button will show AUTO,
ON, or OFF.
In the ON mode, the burners will ignite. The heater is in manual
mode when ON is lit.
In the AUTO mode, the thermostat in the hand-held remote
unit controls the room temperature. To increase the room tem
-
perature, press the top arrow of the TEMP button. To lower the
room temperature, press the bottom arrow of the TEMP button.
At higher settings the heater will run longer.
IMPORTANT: This remote control has been specially engineered
to take an air temperature sample every 5.5 minutes in the auto
mode. It will not respond immediately to the temperature setting
being turned up or down.
IMPORTANT: The hand-held remote control unit must be near the
heater. Do not keep the hand-held remote control unit too close to
the heater. The thermostat on the hand-held remote control unit
will heat up too quickly and turn the heater off.
3. To turn the burner off, press the AUTO/ON/OFF button until OFF
lights. The pilot will remain lit.

(Optional GHRCTB Series Only) The thermostat control setting on the
remote control unit can be set to any comfort level between WARMER

tain the comfort level you select. The ideal comfort setting will vary
by household depending upon the amount of space to be heated, the
output of the central heating system, etc.
For wall thermostat operation, follow instruction supplied with thermo-
stat accessory GWMT1. For wall switch operation follow instructions
supplied with GWMS2.
