This video shows how to turn a fireplace on and off from a remote. Specifically, it is the GV60 Remote from Maxitrol commonly found on Valor fireplaces.
Gathering around the fireplace with family and friends on those chilly winter days can’t be beat. In times like this the fire can be hypnotizing, but if your glass is dirty it can interfere with your enjoyment of the fire.
Here are some do’s and don’ts on how to keep your gas and wood fireplace and stove glass clean over the holidays, and year round.

turn fireplace on with hand held remote ,leave it on for 1 hr and try to turn it down ,but remote wont respond it will not turn down unit is valor 739 1ln nat gas
Have you tried replacing the batteries in the handheld part? Have you also tried replacing the batteries in the receiver box (ie – the box at the fireplace)?
I have the same problem it will turn on ok but it won’t turn down the flame or turn off – I have changed the batteries in both the remote and receiver and still no luck – any suggestions?
Hi Steve – it definitely sounds like a battery in the receiver issue or a range issue (is the handheld remote too far from the FP?). If those do not solve the problem (it sounds like you’ve already replaced batteries – ensure they are good quality batteries by the way) – then you will need a replacement part inside the fireplace. Please contact our service department (if you are in our geographical area) and we can get someone out. Thanks.
