LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY

Hearth & Home Technologies, on behalf of its hearth brands (”HHT”), extends the following warranty for HHT gas, wood, pellet, coal and electric hearth appliances that are purchased from an HHT authorized dealer.

WARRANTY COVERAGE:

HHT warrants to the original owner of the HHT appliance at the site of installation, and to any transferee taking ownership of the appliance at the site of installation within two years following the date of original purchase, that the HHT appliance will be free from defects in materials and workmanship at the time of manufacture. After installation, if covered components manufactured by HHT are found to be defective in materials or workmanship during the applicable warranty period, HHT will, at its option, repair or replace the covered components. HHT, at its own discretion, may fully discharge all of its obligations under such warranties by replacing the product itself or refunding the verified purchase price of the product itself. The maximum amount recoverable under this warranty is limited to the purchase price of the product. This warranty is subject to conditions, exclusions and limitations as described below.

WARRANTY PERIOD:

Warranty coverage begins on the date of original purchase. In the case of new home construction, warranty coverage begins on the date of first occupancy of the dwelling or six months after the sale of the product by an independent, authorized HHT dealer/ distributor, whichever occurs earlier. The warranty shall commence no later than 24 months following the date of product shipment from HHT, regardless of the installation or occupancy date. The warranty period for parts and labor for covered components is produced in the following table.

The term “Limited Lifetime” in the table below is defined as: 20 years from the beginning date of warranty coverage for gas appliances, and 10 years from the beginning date of warranty coverage for wood, pellet, and coal appliances. These time periods reflect the minimum expected useful lives of the designated components under normal operating conditions.

•Damage to printed, plated, or enameled surfaces caused by fingerprints, accidents, misuse, scratches, melted items, or other external sources and residues left on the plated surfaces from the use of abrasive cleaners or polishes.

•Repair or replacement of parts that are subject to normal wear and tear during the warranty period. These parts include: paint, wood, pellet and coal gaskets, firebricks, grates, flame guides, batteries and the discoloration of glass.

•Minor expansion, contraction, or movement of certain parts causing noise. These conditions are normal and complaints related to this noise are not covered by this warranty.

•Damages resulting from: (1) failure to install, operate, or maintain the appliance in accordance with the installation instructions, operating instructions, and listing agent identification label furnished with the appliance; (2) failure to install the appliance in accordance with local building codes; (3) shipping or improper handling; (4) improper operation, abuse, misuse, continued operation with damaged, corroded or failed components, accident, or improperly/ incorrectly performed repairs; (5) environmental conditions, inadequate ventilation, negative pressure, or drafting caused by tightly sealed constructions, insufficient make-up air supply, or handling devices such as exhaust fans or forced air furnaces or other such causes; (6) use of fuels other than those specified in the operating instructions; (7) installation or use of components not supplied with the appliance or any other components not expressly authorized and approved by HHT; (8) modification of the appliance not expressly authorized and approved by HHT in writing; and/or (9) interruptions or fluctuations of electrical power supply to the appliance.

In no event will HHT be liable for any incidental or consequential damages caused by defects in the appliance. Some states do not allow exclusions or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so these limitations may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific rights; you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.

H. IPI Battery Tray/Battery Installation

The IntelliFire PlusTM system has a battery backup option. Battery longevity and performance will be affected by the service temperatures of this appliance.

NOTICE: Batteries should only be used as a power source in the event of an emergency such as an outage.

The removable battery tray is located in the lower left corner of the appliance next to the lower glass clip. Remove batteries from tray before sliding tray back into appliance. See Figure 2.3.

A notch on the right side of the tray engages the tray with the appliance. See Figure 2.4. To remove the tray, rotate the left side of the tray outward and pull to the left to disengage the notch. Place the batteries in the tray and return it to the closed position with the notch engaged in the appliance.

I. Control Module Operation

1.The control module has an ON/OFF/REMOTE selector switch that must be set. See Figure 2.6.

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 flame setting, with no adjustment in flame 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 (RC300).

2.If using a wired wall switch with the module in REMOTE mode, the flame output can be adjusted with the HI/LO selector switch on the module. See Figure 2.6. Note that the flame HI/LO selector switch will become inactive once an optional remote control (RC200/RC300) is programmed to the control module. Note that the control module will always ignite the fireplace on HI and remain so for the initial 10 seconds of operation. If the HI/LO is switched to the LO position, the flame output will automatically drop to the lowest setting after the flame has been established for 10 sec. After this 10 second period, the flame can be adjusted from HI to LO with the switch.

3.The control module has safety feature that automatically shuts down the fireplace after 9 hours of continuous operation without receiving a command from the RC300 remote.

4.If you intend to use both an optional wired wall switch and the RC300 remote control to operate your fireplace, the wall switch will override any commands given by the remote.

M. Frequently Asked Questions

	ISSUE	SOLUTIONS
	Condensation on the glass	This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the appliance warms, this
		condensation will disappear.
	Blue flames	This is a result of normal operation and the flames will begin to yellow as the appliance is al-
		lowed to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.
		When first operated, this appliance may release an odor for the first several hours. This is
	Odor from appliance	caused by the curing of the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing.
		Odor may also be released from finishing 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
	Film on the glass	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 fireplace 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
	Metallic noise	the sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or
		longevity of the appliance.
	Is it normal to see the pilot flame burn	In an intermittent pilot ignition system (IPI), the pilot flame should turn off when appliance is
		turned off. Some optional control systems available with IPI models may allow pilot flame to
	continually?
		remain lit.
