1. After lighting, let pilot flame burn for about one minute.
This is required before the burner(s) will turn on. Turn
control knob to ON position. Adjust flame adjustment knob
anywhere between HI and LO. Slide the selector switch to
the REMOTE position.
Note:
The burner(s) may light if
hand-held remote ON button was on when selector switch
was last turned off. You can now turn the burner(s) on and
off with the hand-held remote control unit.
IMPORTANT:
Do not leave the selector switch in the AUTO
position on the handset when the pilot is not lit. This will
shorten the battery life.
IMPORTANT:
Be sure to press the ON/OFF buttons on
the hand-held remote control unit for up to 3 seconds to
assure proper operation.
2a. FHRC Series Operation: Press the control button on the
hand held remote to turn burner(s) on. Press the control
button again to turn burner(s) off (see Figure 7).
2b. FHRCT Series Operation: Select the MAN (manual) or
AUTO button on the hand-held remote control unit (see
Figure 8).
• In manual mode, turn burner(s) on or off by pressing
the ON or OFF buttons on the hand-held remote con-
trol unit.
• In auto mode, the room temperature is controlled by the
thermostat in the hand-held remote control unit. To in-
crease the room temperature, 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 en-
gineered to take an air temperature sample every 5.5
minutes in the auto mode. It will not respond immedi-
ately to the temperature setting being turned up or down.

IMPORTANT:
The hand-held remote control unit must be
in the vicinity of 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. Ideally the hand-held re-
mote control unit should be located in a central part of the
room where the heater is located.
3. Use the STATUS button on the hand-held remote control
unit to see the operation mode being used and the tem-
perature setting selected. A red light will come on beside
the operation mode being used when the status button is
pressed.
4. To turn the burners off when operating in the manual
mode, press the OFF button. If operating in the auto mode,
press the MAN button, then press the OFF button. The
pilot will remain lit.
IMPORTANT:
To turn the pilot off, manually turn the con-
trol knob on the heater to the OFF position.
