J. Control Module Operation

1. The control module has an ON/OFF/REMOTE selector
switch that must be set. See Figure 2.3.

OFF Position: Appliance will ignore all power inputs and

will not respond to any commands from a wall switch or
remote. The unit should be in the OFF position during
installation, service, battery installation, fuel conversion,
and in the event that the control goes into LOCK-OUT
mode as a result of an error code.

ON Position: Appliance will ignite and run continuously

in the HI ame setting, with no adjustment in ame
output. This mode of operation is primarily used for

initial installation or power outage operation with battery

backup.

REMOTE Position: Appliance will initiate commands

from an optional wired wall switch and/or the wireless
remote (RC300AU).

2. If using a wired wall switch with the module in REMOTE
mode, the ame output can be adjusted with the HI/
LO selector switch on the module. See Figure 2.3.
Note that the ame HI/LO selector switch will become
inactive once an optional remote control (RC300AU) is
programmed to the control module. Note that the control
module will always ignite the replace on HI and remain
so for the initial 10 seconds of operation. If the HI/LO
is switched to the LO position, the ame output will
automatically drop to the lowest setting after the ame
has been established for 10 sec. After this 10 second
period, the ame can be adjusted from HI to LO with
the switch.

3. The control module has safety feature that automatically
shuts down the replace after 9 hours of continuous
operation without receiving a command from the
RC300AU remote.

4. If you intend to use both an optional wired wall switch
and the RC300AU remote control to operate your
replace, the wall switch will override any commands
given by the remote.

5. The module has the capability to recognize potential
malfunctions. If these occur, it will fail to ignite and/
or respond to a command to ignite via the wall switch
and/or remote. In this case, the module may have
gone into LOCK-OUT mode. In this state, it will emit
a LED error code. To reset the error code, switch the
selector to OFF, and then back to REMOTE or ON. If
the ignition command again fails, the module will emit
an LED error code, prior to going back into LOCK-OUT
mode. Contact your dealer for service if this occurs.

Nine Hour Safety Shutdown Feature

This appliance has a safety feature that automatically
shuts down the replace after 9 hours of continuous
operation without receiving a command from the wall
switch or RC300AU remote.

Note: If the module is in LOCK-OUT mode, resetting the
circuit breaker to the appliance will also reset the module.

Note: For units installed in Australia, the residence’s 220/240
wall outlet to which this appliance’s power cord is connected,
must be wired to an in-line on/off switch. This is required for
servicing and/or resetting the control module in the event of
a control module LOCK-OUT.

L. Frequently Asked Questions

ISSUE SOLUTIONS

Condensation on the glass

Blue ames

Odor from appliance

Film on the glass

Metallic noise

Is it normal to see the pilot ame burn

continually?

This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the appliance warms, this
condensation will disappear.

This is a result of normal operation and the ames will begin to yellow as the appliance is al­lowed to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.

When rst operated, this appliance may release an odor for the rst several hours. This is caused
by the curing of the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing. Odor may
also be released from nishing materials and adhesives used around the appliance.

This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint and logs. Glass should be cleaned
within 3 to 4 hours of initial burning to remove deposits left by oils from the manufacturing
process. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas replace glass cleaner may be necessary. See
your dealer.

Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to
the sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or
longevity of the appliance.

In an intermittent pilot ignition system (IPI), the pilot ame should turn off when appliance is
turned off. Some optional control systems available with IPI models may allow pilot ame to
remain lit.

B. Constructing the Appliance Chase

A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the
gas appliance and/or its vent system. In cooler climates
the vent should be enclosed inside the chase.

NOTICE: Treatment of ceiling restops and wall shield
restops and construction of the chase may vary with the
type of building. These instructions are not substitutes
for the requirements of local building codes. Therefore,
you MUST check local building codes to determine the
requirements to these steps.

Chases should be constructed in the manner of all out­side walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting prob­lems. The chase should not break the outside building
envelope in any manner.

Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever oor of the chase
should be insulated. Vapor and air inltration barriers
should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for
the rest of the home. Additionally, in regions where cold
air inltration may be an issue, the inside surfaces may be
sheetrocked and taped for maximum air tightness.

NOTICE:Measure heater dimensions and verify framing
methods and wall covering details, before framing

construction begins.

To further prevent drafts, the wall shield and ceiling re­stops should be caulked with high temperature caulk to
seal gaps. Gas line holes and other openings should be
caulked with high temperature caulk or stuffed with un­faced insulation. If the appliance is being installed on a
cement surface, a layer of plywood may be placed under­neath to prevent conducting cold up into the room.

The top and back of heater are dened by stand-offs.

The minimum clearance to a perpendicular wall extending
past the face of the heater is 1in. (25 mm).

The back of the heaters may be recessed into combustible
construction.

Note: Not intended for heater insert.

In planning the installation for the heater it is necessary
to determine where the unit is to be installed, the type of
ue system to be used (straight out, corner, or elevated),
and whether optional accessories (wall switch or remote
control) are desired. Gas supply piping should also be
planned. Refer to the appliance data plate on the base
pan of the heater for all gas pressures and input rate
information.

The heater can be mounted on any of the following surface:

1. A at surface (minimum 1/4 in. (6 mm) base).

2. Four (4) corner supports.

(Example: Four (4) concrete masonry blocks). These
supports must be positioned so they contact all four (4)
perimeter edges on the bottom of the unit.

Heater framing can be built before or after the heater is set
in place. Framing should be positioned to accommodate
wall covering and heater facing material. The heater fram­ing should be constructed of 2 in. X 4 in. (51 x 102 mm)
lumber or heavier. The framing headers may rest on the
heater standoffs. Refer to Figure 5.1 and Figure 5.3 for
heater and framing reference dimensions.

C. Clearances

NOTICE:Install appliance on hard metal or wood surfaces

extending full width and depth. DO NOT install directly
on carpeting, vinyl, tile or any combustible material other

than wood.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! Maintain specied air space

clearances to appliance and vent pipe:

• Insulation and other materials must be secured to prevent
accidental contact.

• The chase must be properly blocked to prevent blown
insulation or other combustibles from entering and
making contact with replace or chimney.

• Failure to maintain airspace may cause overheating and
a re.
