I. Control Module Operation

1. The control module has an ON/OFF/REMOTE selector
switch that must be set. See Figure 2.1.

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.

K. Frequently Asked Questions

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. Specica­tions of the attached non-combustible material are listed in Section 1.E.

Flue Information

A. Flue Components

These models are approved to use Hearth & Home
Technologies series pipes, components and termination.
Approved components are labeled for identication. This
pipe is tested and listed as an approved component of

the stove.

DO NOT USE FIELD-FABRICATED FLUE COMPO­NENTS. Refer to the flue manufacturer’s instructions.

This product is approved to be flued either horizontally,
through the side wall or vertically through the roof. You may
flue through a Class A or masonry chimney if an approved
adapter is used.

This gas stove is a balanced ue gas stove. All combus­tion air must come directly from the outside of the building.
The ue pipe for this unit consists of an inner and an outer
pipe. The inner pipe carries the gas stove exhaust out of
the system, and the outer pipe brings fresh combustion air
into the gas stove.

• A round support box/wall thimble or heat shield is
required when the ueing passes through a combustible
wall.

• A support box or ceiling restop is required when the
ueing passes through a combustible ceiling.

• Roof ashing and a storm collar are required when ueing
passes through the roof.

• Follow instructions provided with the ueing for installation
of these items.

B. Use of Elbows

CAUTION

ALL ue conguration specications MUST be followed.

• This product is tested and listed to these specications.

• Appliance performance will suffer if specications are not
followed.

Diagonal runs have both vertical and horizontal ue aspects
when calculating the effects. Use the rise for the vertical as­pect and the run for the horizontal aspect (see Figure 7.1).

Two 45º elbows may be used in place of one 90º elbow.
On 45º runs, 12 in. (305 mm) of diagonal is equal to 8-1/2
in. (216 mm) horizontal run and 8-1/2 in. (216 mm) vertical
run. A length of straight pipe is allowed between two 45º
elbows (see Figure 7.1).

WARNING

Fire Hazard.

Explosion Risk.

Asphyxiation Risk.

Do NOT connect this gas stove to a chimney
ue serving a separate solid-fuel or gas burning
gas stove.

• Flue this gas stove directly outside.

• Use separate ue system for this gas stove.

May impair safe operation of this gas stove or
other gas stoves connected to the ue.

C. Measuring Standards

Vertical and horizontal measurements were made using
the following standards.

• Pipe measurements are from center line to center line.

• Horizontal terminations are measured to the outside
edge of termination cap. See Figure 7.3.

• Horizontal pipe should be installed level with no rise.
