GWMT1 WALL MOUNTED
THERMOSTAT (OPTIONAL)
Make sure the heater switch is on REMOTE
and set the temperature adjustment on wall
thermostat to the desired setting. The thermo-
stat has been electronically calibrated at the fac-
tory and requires no adjustment or leveling.
Upon installation, the thermostat must be al-
lowed to stabilize at room temperature for a
minimum of 30 minutes for proper operation.
See installation instructions on page 22 of this
manual.
GWMS2 WALL MOUNTED
SWITCH (OPTIONAL)
Make sure the heater switch is on REMOTE.
This wall switch works just like the conven-
tional light switch. Flip the switch up for on
and down for off.
Note:
Make sure that this switch is not in a
position to be mistaken for a light switch. This
may result in the fireplace being inadvertently
turned on without the proper precautions being
taken. See installation instructions on page 23
of this manual.
THERMOSTAT SERIES (MODEL

Safety Features
When away from home for an extended period of
time or as a child safety feature to prevent accidental
ignition of the fireplace, 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 fireplace 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 fireplace after 8 minutes.
