Chateau™ Remote Control Transmitter Operating Instructions Introduction This transmitter operating range is approximately 20 feet (6 m). The transmitter operates on one of 1,048,576 security codes that are programmed into the transmitter at the factory; this transmitter operates on radio frequencies with nonTransmitter Wall Clip Slot Off Continuous Pilot Button Mode Button The transmitter operates on (2) 1.5V AAA batteries.
Chateau™ Setting ° F / ° C Scale ����� ���� The factory setting for temperature is ° F. To change this setting to ° C; Press the ON H/L key and the OFF CONTINUOUS PILOT key on the transmitter at the same time. This will change from ° F to ° C. Follow this same procedure to change from ° C to ° F. ��� Manual Function To operate the system in the manual “MODE” do the following: ���� Screen while depressing ON key Screen after 3 second default ON - HI Flame Operation Press and release the ON H/L key.
Chateau™ To Change the Set Temperature Press and hold the SET key until the desired set temperature is reached. (By pressing and holding the set key, the LCD screen set numbers will increase from 45° to 99°, then restart at 45°) ��� ��� ���� ���� Release the SET key. The LCD screen will display the set temperature for 3 seconds, then will flash the set temperature for 3 seconds, then the LCD screen will default to display the room temperature.
Chateau™ Operational Notes: The Thermostatic feature on the transmitter operates the appliance whenever the ROOM TEMPERATURE varies a certain number of degrees from the SET TEMPERATURE. This variation is called the “SWING” or TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL. The normal operating cycle of an appliance may be 2-4 times per hour depending on how well the room or home is insulated from the cold or drafts. The factory setting for the “swing number” is 2.

USA Installations: The venting system must conform with local codes and/ or the current National Fuel Gas code ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54. Only venting components manufactured by CFM Corporation can be used in Direct Vent systems.
Chateau™ Minimum clearance between vent pipes and combustible materials is 3¹⁄₂” (89 mm) on top, 2¹⁄₂” (64 mm) on both sides and 1¹⁄₂” (38 mm) on the bottom. �� �� �� �� �� When the vent termination exits through foundations less than 20” (508 mm) below siding outcrop, the vent pipe must be flush with the siding.
Chateau™ • The maximum number of 45° elbows permitted per • • side wall installation is two (2). These elbows can be installed in either the vertical or horizontal run. (Fig. 18) For each 45° elbow installed in the horizontal run, the length of the horizontal run MUST be reduced by 18” (45 cm). This does not apply if the 45° elbows are installed on the vertical part of the vent system. For each 90° elbow installed in the horizontal run, the length of the horizontal run MUST be reduced by 36” (914 mm).
Chateau™ STEP 3 X Slide the zero clearance sleeve through the wall and install the firestop on the inside surface of the wall. Secure with four (4) #8 sheet metal screws. STEP 4 Place fireplace into position. (Fig. 22) Measure the vertical height (X) required from the base of the flue collars to the center of the wall opening.

Chateau™ Lighting & Operating Instructions For Fireplaces equipped with American Flame Automatic Control System (IN or IP) Warning: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result, causing property damage, personal injury and loss of life. For Your Safety, Read the Following Warnings before Lighting the Appliance A. This fireplace is equipped with an ignition device which automatically lights the pilot and main burner.
Chateau™ Troubleshooting American Flame Gas Control System If erratic system behavior is observed that cannot be resolved by the methods outlined below, ensure that there is not a transmitter with batteries installed that may be interfering. If a transmitter is packed with batteries installed, its buttons may be depressed sending a constant signal which can interfere with the transmission of desired signals. A transmitter with new batteries can have a range of over 100’ (30.4 m).
Chateau™ Troubleshooting American Flame Gas Control System (continued) Main flame will not light • Verify the gas supply is turned on. • Ensure the pilot flame will ignite. If not, see pilot flame troubleshooting above. • Make sure the green and white leads from the module are securely connected to the terminals labeled “MAIN: on the valve body. • Make certain the pilot flame is in contact with the flame rectification sensor on the pilot assembly. This valve is equipped with a pilot flame adjustment screw.
Chateau™ American Flame Gas Control System Error Codes Ignition Safety: Protection for Ignition System Error Code: One beep every one second Description of Fault: Warn users if the pilot is not successfully ignited in 60 seconds. How to Clear: Press OFF then ON buttons to re-attempt ignition. What to Check: • Ensure gas supply is turned on. • Ensure orange/white leads from module are plugged into the “PILOT” connection on the valve body.
