notify manufacturer for info on the propane set up they sell their units in both set up --lp or natural ---also look up parts their are multi sites to choose from

Every time the batteries are changed in the receiver and transmitter the transmitter has to be "re-learned" to the receiver. To do this locate the "learn" button which will look like a tiny hole so you have to stick the end of a pin or a pen in the hole to press the button. Hold the button down until it beeps at you 5 times and release. press the button again and release and then press Any button on the transmitter.
Once the receiver is set into its "learn" function it does not matter what button is pressed on the transmitter because the next signal the receiver picks up will be the frequency it is attached-to.
In order to change the transmitter simply hold the learn button down until it beeps 5 times again which tells us it has wiped out its memory. Then press, release and press the transmitter.

If you want to check if your remote is working and you have a cell phone that takes pictures hold the remote in front of the camera and when you have a pitre of the remote press the button and you see it on the camera if you don't the remote is not working hope this helps (this goes for all remotes ) Tom

• Make sure your valve is in the "on" position and not "pilot".
• Install fresh batteries in both remote and receiver (remotes are finicky about good batteries.
• Ensure the switch on your receiver is in the "remote" position.
• Follow manual to re-sync handheld to receiver if necessary.
• A burner not lighting could also be the fault of the appliance (bad thermopile). Check this too, and replace if needed.
  
• Replace remote if necessary: Universal Fireplace Remotes

• Find the remote's receiver under the fireplace.
• There should be a switch to change from "remote" to "ON".
• Turn the switch to "ON", if the fireplace ignites, you may need to re synchronize your remote. If it does not, your remote control may be bad.
• Bypass the remote to ensure your fireplace is operational by connecting the "TH" and "TP/TH" terminals on the valve with a wire or paperclip. If the fireplace lights up fine, then it is for sure a bad remote.
• Universal gas fireplace remotes can be found HERE.

If the pilots are lit and holding, the problem is not with the thermopiles, Did you turn the gas control knob from the PILOT position to the ON position. If not, that's the problem.Sanding the Thermopiles will serve no purpose, sine the pilots are lit and holding. When a Thermopile fails, it fails without any warning. In this particular case, you may need to recheck the batteries in the handheld remotes and the receiver boxes in the fireplace's control compartment. Make sure they are all the batteries are facing the proper direction and that all are strong. If I recall correctly, there should be 6 batteries total for each remote control. 2-in the handheld and 4-in the receiver box.

If you can continue to have a problem with this, please get back to me and include the Model Number for each fireplace, if they aren't identical.

Hope this helped you and thanks for choosing FixYa.

you can buy a kit at home depot, you just need to know the psi for the unit so you can get a kit with the proper regulator. Kit will be in the section with water heaters, or seasonal, with the fireplaces.

If it's a Remote Controlled unit and uses a radio frequency remote control, the unit may be overheating.
They are heat sensitive and will shut down the burner if the temp reaches 160 degrees.
If it is a Remote Controlled Gas Fireplace as stated. Move the Receiver Box as far out from the gas logs and off to side as much as the wiring will allow. If you have a lower louvered control compartment, the remote receiver should be down inside there. However, it doesn't get hot there.

If your is not Remote Controlled, the Oxygen Depletion Sensor (ODS) which is part of the pilot assembly may be partially clogged with dust, lint and/or pet hair and will need to be cleaned out.
Remember, Vent-free Gas Appliances use interior air for combustion. So whatever is floating in your household air goes into the fireplace. burners, pilot, etc and clogs it up. By the same token, the oxygen level in the room air may be too low, when you run the burner on high and the ODS is doing exactly what it should.

Finally, the Thermocouple (which is another safety feature) may be loose where it connects into the Gas Control Valve and is loosing contact when the burner is on high.

If you still have your Owners Manual for you Gas Fireplace, consult it's Trouble Shooting Guide, as well as the section on Maintenance. Both sections will be of great help in allowing you to perform the necessary things.

If you don't have your Owners Manual go online to the Manufacturer's website. There you can download the Owners Manual for your Model in a pdf format and print it.

If you don't know who the manufacturer is ... look in the fireplace or the lower control compartment for some metal or plastic tags, which should be wired to the controls. One of those tags (look on both sides of the tags) will tell you who the manufacturer is, the model number and the serial number.

Hope this helps you solve your problem.

Pilot light stays lit various times, sometimes for several days then other times for a few minutes. Lights best when temp outside is below freezing. Pilot flame appears to receive too much air. How do you adjust the pilot flame? Is this done using two screws marked A & E? Do you have suggestions?
Thanks,
Ed

YOU SHOULD GET A GAS FITTER TO CHANGE FIREPLACE OVER TO GAS .
