Chateau™ Direct Vent Gas Fireplace Remote Control Transmitter Operating Instructions Introduction This transmitter operating range is approximately 20 feet (6 m). The transmitter operates on one of 1,048,576 security codes that are programmed into the transmitter at the factory; this transmitter operates on radio frequencies with nonTransmitter Wall Clip Slot Off Continuous Pilot Button Mode Button The transmitter operates on (2) 1.5V AAA batteries.
Chateau™ Direct Vent Gas Fireplace Setting ° F / ° C Scale ����� ���� The factory setting for temperature is ° F. To change this setting to ° C; Press the ON H/L key and the OFF CONTINUOUS PILOT key on the transmitter at the same time. This will change from ° F to ° C. Follow this same procedure to change from ° C to ° F.
Chateau™ Direct Vent Gas Fireplace To Change the Set Temperature Press and hold the SET key until the desired set temperature is reached. (By pressing and holding the set key, the LCD screen set numbers will increase from 45° to 99°, then restart at 45°) ��� ��� ���� ���� Release the SET key. The LCD screen will display the set temperature for 3 seconds, then will flash the set temperature for 3 seconds, then the LCD screen will default to display the room temperature.
Chateau™ Direct Vent Gas Fireplace Operational Notes: The Thermostatic feature on the transmitter operates the appliance whenever the ROOM TEMPERATURE varies a certain number of degrees from the SET TEMPERATURE. This variation is called the “SWING” or TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL. The normal operating cycle of an appliance may be 2-4 times per hour depending on how well the room or home is insulated from the cold or drafts. The factory setting for the “swing number” is 2.
