I. 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.

ISSUE SOLUTIONS
Condensation on the glass
Blue ames
Odor from replace
Film on the glass
Metallic noise
Power Outages (battery backup)
Wall above appliance feels hot to
the touch.
This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the replace warms, this condensation will disappear.
This is a result of normal operation and the ames will begin to yellow as the replace is allowed
to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.
When rst operated, this replace may release an odor for the rst several hours. This is caused
by the curing of materials from manufacturing. Odor may also be released from nishing materials
and adhesives used near the replace. These circumstances may require additional curing related
to the installation environment.
This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint. Glass should be cleaned within 3 to 4
hours of initial burning. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas appliance 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 replace.
This appliance can operated on battery power in the event of a power outage. To access the battery pack, the decorative front, mesh and glass assembly must be removed. Refer to Section 12
for more details.
No action necessary. This appliance ships with a non-combustible material attached. Specications of the attached non-combustible material are listed in Section 1.E.

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 inltration barriers
should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for
the rest of the home. Additionally, in regions where cold
air inltration may be an issue, the inside surfaces may be
sheetrocked and taped for maximum air tightness.
NOTICE: Measure fireplace 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 caulk with a minimum of
300ºF continuous exposure rating to seal gaps. Gas line
holes and other openings should be caulked withcaulk
with a minimum of 300ºF continuous exposure rating 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.
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 specied 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
