Conversion of Gazco Upgradable Controls to Battery Remote Control Ensure that combustible materials are not placed next to or on top of the appliance when using this control.

Do not use the thermostatic remote with the open front fires such as the VFC or baskets. This upgrade can be fitted by anyone capable of simple DIY jobs and requires no special training.

1 Conversion of Gazco Upgradable Controls to Battery Remote Control Ensure that combustible materials are not placed next to or on top of the appliance when using this control. Especially when using the thermostatic version which could turn the appliance on automatically when the room may be unattended. Do not use the thermostatic remote with the open front fires such as the VFC or baskets. This upgrade can be fitted by anyone capable of simple DIY jobs and requires no special training. It is however very important that these instructions are thoroughly understood before attempting the upgrade. Do not open the body of the control valve or loosen any fasteners or pipes not shown in this instruction. If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life. If the appliance is left unattended for longer periods (e.g. vacation), the combination control should be turned either off or to pilot position, so that it cannot receive commands from the remote transmitter. Caution: If the appliance is left unattended in operation, in rare cases the receiver could respond to extraneous sound waves, thereby activating the motor and adjusting the flame height.

3 1. GENERAL POINTS 1.1 This conversion will be either for a standard remote control or a thermostatic remote control. 1.2 The standard kit contains the parts shown in diagram 1 and the thermostatic kit contains the parts shown in diagram 2. A = Handset B = Motor C = Receiver D = Connecting wires E = Receiver batteries x 4 F = Handset battery x 1 G = Microswitch (thermostatic version only) 1.3 Tools required for this conversion are a small flat bladed and a small cross head screwdriver. 1.4 This conversion can be fitted to any of the Gazco upgradable control gas appliances. NOTE - the thermostatic version is not to be used with open fires as it could turn the fire on without supervision. 1.5 This upgrade can be fitted either before or after installation of the appliance. NOTE - Stoves must have a minimum 150mm side clearance to allow access for this conversion. 2. CONVERSION OF THE VALVE 2.1 Ensure that the appliance is turned off and that it is completely cold. If the appliance has an electrical connection make sure that this is also turned off and unplugged. 2.2 Find the control valve on the appliance, it should look like the control valve shown in diagram 3. If your control valve does not look like the one shown in this diagram, it may be that you have an appliance that is not upgradable. 2.3 Undo the single screw that secures the control cover, see diagram 3a. 2.4 To release the right hand side of the control cover insert the narrow blade screwdriver into the slot shown in diagram 4, lever it gently and pull from the right hand side at the same time. The cover will now come off, there is a small cylindrical metal spacer inside the cover, this can be discarded. 2.5 If you have the thermostatic version, fit the micro switch shown in diagram 5. NOTE - ensure it is the right way up - the printed side facing you. If you do not have a thermostatic version proceed to Locate the motor on the valve by lifting it up and over the left hand control knob so that the silver motor body sits on top of the valve and the gear on the front of the motor engages with the control knob. See diagram 6. A slight movement of the motor may be required to ensure that it engages correctly with the control knob. 2.7 The control cover should now snap back onto the valve holding the motor in position. Replace the securing screw and tighten gently. See diagram Insert the 4 AA batteries into the receiver as shown in diagram Plug the cable connector onto the receiver as shown in diagram 8A for the standard remote or 8B for the thermostatic remote. Take care to get the connector the right way up and in the position shown Plug the other end of the wires onto the valve, the leads will only fit the correct connector, follow diagram 9A for the standard remote or 9B for the thermostatic remote House the receiver in position and tidy the wires up as shown in diagram 10. Follow the appropriate diagram. BASKET & MTM FIRES - place the receiver on the floor in the coolest place below the fire 2.12 Insert the 9-volt battery into the remote control handset as shown in diagram Using the next section of these instructions, test the operation of the remote control. 3

4 3. OPERATION OF THE REMOTE CONTROL 3.1 LIGHTING THE PILOT See diagram Ensure that the appliance pilot has been lit. Follow the instructions below There are two control knobs on the valve, the right hand knob controls the pilot ignition and the left knob controls the main burner Ensure that the left hand control knob is pointing to off ( ). If not press the off button ( ) on the handset until the knob rotates fully clockwise, a clicking noise will be heard when it is fully rotated (this is normal) Ensure that the right hand control knob is pointing to off ( ) Press in the right hand control knob and rotate it anti-clockwise until a click is heard (keep pressing in) and the knob is pointing to pilot ( ). The pilot should now light Keep the control knob pressed in for 10 seconds and then release it, the pilot should stay alight If the pilot will not light after repeated attempts, contact the retailer or installer from whom the appliance was purchased. However some appliances may be lit with a match as a temporary measure, refer to the users instructions supplied with the appliance Turn the right hand control to point to main burner ( ).
