the TEMP + or - buttons.

Note: Do not leave the hand-held remote in the
AUTO mode close to the replace. The radiant
heat from the replace will turn off the replace.

of the room facing towards the replace.
Note: Do not hold the hand-held remote for a long
time. Body temperature will affect its operation in
the AUTO mode.
Safety Features
When away from home for an extended period
of time or as a child safety feature to prevent
accidental ignition of the replace, the receiver
ON/OFF/REMOTE switch should be in the OFF
position.
Auto Shutoff Feature
1. If the average room temperature exceeds 82°
Fahrenheit (28° Centigrade), the hand-held
remote control will perform a safety override
and shut the replace off. This feature is not
available in the MANU mode.
2. The receiver continuously receives signals
from the hand-held remote to control the
room temperature. If the hand-held remote is
misplaced, obstructed or for any reason cannot
transmit to the receiver, the receiver will shut
off the replace after 8 minutes.
