Introduction
The RC300 multifunctional remote control is designed
to control pilot light, fl ame height, blower speed, and
up to two 120 VAC auxiliary functions on your gas fi re-
place. The RC300 is equipped with thermostat func-
tions which can automatically control the temperature
in the room in which it is installed. The control is only
for use with the Hearth & Home Technologies IntelliFire
Plus™ system (IPI). The AUX300 module is rated for 120
VAC, 60 Hz, and is required for operation of this remote
control device.

This remote control is tested and safe when installed in
accordance with this installation manual. Do not install
any components that may be damaged.
Do not modify , disassemble, or substitute any of the com-
ponents included with this kit. Installation of this unit must
be done by a qualifi ed service technician.
Placement of this remote control may affect performance.
An assessment of the space should be done prior to in-
stallation for optimum performance.
Determine Location
Determine the location for the remote control. The selected
location should be in the same space as the gas fi replace.
Never place this unit in a separate room. The remote control
must be placed within 30 feet (9.14 m) of the fi replace but

FCC Requirements
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Changes or modifi cations to
this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pur-
suant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in ac-
cordance with the instructions, may cause harmful in-
terference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a partic-
ular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dif-
ferent from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Contact the dealer or an experienced radio TV techni-
cian for help.
Canadian Equipment Requirements
This digital apparatus does not exceed the (Class A/ Class
B) limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus
set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Cana-
dian Department of Communications. Le present appareil
numerique n’emet pas de bruits radioelectriques depas-
sant les limites applicables aux appareils numeriques (de
la class A/de la class B) prescrites dans le Reglement sur
le brouillage radioelectrique edicte par le ministere des
Communications du Canada.
This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry and Science
Canada. Operation is subject to the following two condi-
tions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference, including interfer-
ence that may cause undesired operation of the device.
