The receiver unit connects to your fireplace's millivolt gas valve system. Refer to your fireplace's manual for specific wiring diagrams. Generally, the receiver wires connect to the TH and TH/TP terminals on the gas valve. Ensure the gas supply is off before proceeding.

• Restore the gas supply to your fireplace.
