OPERATING PROCEDURE
Initializing the System for the first time
Install the 4 AA batteries into the receiver battery bay. Note the polarity of
the battery and insert into the battery bay as indicated on the Battery cover
(+/-). Place the 3 position slider switch in the “Remote” position. (fig. 3)
Using the end of a paper clip, or other similar object, insert the end of the
paper clip into the hole marked “PRG” on the Receiver front cover (fig 3).
The Receiver will “beep” three (3) times to indicate that it is ready to
synchronize with a Transmitter. Install the 3 AAA type batteries in the
Transmitter battery bay, located on the base of the Transmitter. With the
batteries already installed in the Transmitter, push the On button. The
Receiver will “beep” four times to indicate the Transmitter’s command is
accepted and sets to the particular code of that Transmitter. The system is
now initialized.
Temperature indication Display
With the system in the “OFF” position, press the Thermostat Key and the Mode
Key at the same time. Look at the LCD screen on the Transmitter to verify that
a C or F is visible to the right of the Room Temperature display. (Fig.

Turn on the Appliance
Press the ON/OFF Key on the Transmitter. The Transmitter display will show all
active Icons on the screen. At the same time the Receiver connects the
thermopile to the gas valve millivolt coil and the appliance main burner
turns on. A single “beep” from the Receiver will confirm reception of the
command.
Turn off the Appliance
Press the ON/OFF Key on the Transmitter. The Transmitter LCD display will only
show the room temperature and Icon (Fig. 7). At the same time the Receiver
disconnects the thermopile from the gas valve millivolt coil and the
appliance burner turns off. A single “beep” from the Receiver confirms
reception of the command.
Remote Flame Control
The proflame GTMF has six (6) flame levels. With the system on, and the flame
level at the maximum in the appliance, pressing the Down Arrow Key once will
reduce the flame height by one step until the flame is turned off.
The Up Arrow Key will increase the flame height each time it is pressed. If
the Up Arrow Key is pressed while the system is on but the flame is off, the
flame will come on in the high position. ( Fig. 8 & 9 ) A single “beep” will
confirm reception of the command.
ROOM THERMOSTAT ( Transmitter Operation)
The Remote Control can operate as a room thermostat. The thermostat can be set
to a desired temperature to control the comfort level in a room.
To activate this function, press the Thermostat Key (Fig. 1). The LCD display
on the Transmitter will change to show that the room thermostat is “ON” and
the set temperature is now displayed (Fig. 10). To adjust the set
temperature, press the Up or Down Arrow Keys until the desired set temperature
is displayed on the LCD screen of the Transmitter.
Smart Thermostat (Transmitter Operation)
The Smart Thermostat function adjusts the flame height in accordance to the
difference between the set point temperature and the actual room temperatures.
As the room temperature gets closer to the set point the Smart Function will
modulate the flame down.
To activate this function, press the Thermostat Key (Fig. 1) until the word
“SMART” appears to the right of the temperature bulb graphic (Fig. 12). To

LOW BATTERY P0WER DETECTION
Transmitter
The life span of the remote control batteries depends on various factors:
quality of the batteries used, the number of ignitions of the appliance, the
number of changes to the room thermostat set point, etc.
When the Transmitter batteries are low, a Battery Icon will appear on the LCD
display of the Transmitter (Fig. 19) before all battery power is lost. When
the batteries are replaced this Icon will disappear.
Receiver
The life span of the Receiver batteries depends on various factors: quality of
the batteries used, the number of ignitions of the appliance, the number of
changes to the room thermostat set point, etc.
When the Receiver batteries are low, No “beep” will be emitted from the
Receiver when it receives an On/Off command from the Transmitter. This is an
alert for a low battery condition for the Receiver. When the batteries are
replaced the “beep” will be emitted from the Receiver when the ON/OFF Key is
pressed (See Initialization of The System).
MANUAL BYPASS OF THE REMOTE SYSTEM
If the batteries of the Receiver or Transmitter are low or depleted, the
appliance can be turned on manually by sliding the three position slider
switch on the Receiver to the ON position.
This will bypass the remote control feature of the system and the appliance
main burner will come on if the gas valve is in the “On” position.
