I recently purchased a fireplace that came with a Maxitrol remote control, it has automatic ignition from the handset

(has a red dot on the button)

but I find the system very confusing to use, each button has double use and the scrolling system through menu is also difficult.

does anyone else suffer with this problem?

are other remotes as hard to use?

Is this system very popular?

or is it just me.

any comments are welcome.
