Operation
WARNING – Read these instructions carefully before lighting the fireplace.
Four operation options are available for use with the fireplace:
10-Button Remote Control Handset (default option, always included with the fireplace)
Puck Handset (optional accessory)
Wall Switch (optional accessory)
MyFire Application (optional accessory, Wi-Fi capabilities automatically included with the fireplace)
IMPORTANT: The 10-Button remote control handset is always included with the fireplace regardless of
which operation option is chosen.
DO NOT DISCARD.
The 10-Button remote must be kept within 26 feet of the
fireplace at all times.
NOTES:
Wiring of valve and receiver must be completed before starting ignition. Failure to do so could damage the electronics.
If operating the fireplace without an AC adapter, battery replacement is recommended at the beginning of each heating
season.
Fireplaces with double glass, power vent, and/or interior lighting features must operate using the AC Adapter and therefore
will not operate during a power failure.
Only the Mertik Maxitrol AC Adapter is permitted for use with the fireplace. Use of other adapter brands can render the
system inoperable. The handsets, receivers, wall switches are not interchangeable with other electronics.
Batteries must be kept within their recommended temperature limits (32
F to 131
F).
10-Button Remote Control Handset
NOTE: Any device that functions using the same radio frequency as the handset will be affected when handset is in
use.
