First, change the batteries in the remote AND receiver box. (see pictures & video below for more help)

1. Find your remote.
2. The battery for the remote slides out the bottom of the remote.
3. DO NOT remove the screw on the back of the remote. 
4. You will need a small screwdriver to remove the battery compartment. You will see a little notch at the bottom of your remote, stick the screwdriver in there and pull the battery compartment out to reveal the battery. (See pictures below)
5. Replace the battery with a CR2032 battery.
6. Find the receiver box. It should be in the back corner of your fireplace, it has 2 wires attached to the control valve of your fireplace.
7. Turn the receiver box over to reveal an arrow.
8. Slide the bottom of the box with your thumb to reveal the batteries.
9. Replace the batteries with NEW AA batteries.
10. Once the batteries are changed in both the remote and receiver box, make sure the receiver box is set to REMOTE.
11. Now hit ‘on’ with the remote and your main burner should light.
12. If the fireplace turned on you’re all set! If it did not, continue below.

If your fireplace still won’t light, follow the steps below. (Check to see if the remote works after every step.)

1. If you changed the batteries in both your remote and receiver box and it still won’t light, try these next steps to troubleshoot.
2. Make sure the pilot is lit. If pilot is not, click HERE for instructions on how to light your pilot.
3. Make sure your control valve (knob that says off, on and pilot) is in the ON position and not in PILOT.
4. Make sure the remote receiver (black box in the fireplace) is in the REMOTE position.
5. If the remote is still not turning the fireplace on, slide the receiver box to the on position.
6. If the fireplace lit, but it won’t light in the remote position, the remote may need to be replaced.
7. If the fireplace still did not light, check the connections from your receiver box to the control valve, and make sure they are attached and not loose.
8. If you tried all of these steps and the fire still did not light, you may need service.
9. The intakes on the burner and pilot may have gotten clogged with dust, pet hair and pet dander and the unit is not getting enough clean air to work properly. Vent-free units need to be serviced every 2-3 years.
