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 fl ame setting, with no adjustment in fl 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 (RC300).
2. If using a wired wall switch with the module in REMOTE
mode, the fl ame output can be adjusted with the HI/LO
selector switch on the module. See Figure 2.6. Note
that the fl ame 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 fi replace on HI and remain
so for the initial 10 seconds of operation. If the HI/LO
is switched to the LO position, the fl ame output will
automatically drop to the lowest setting after the fl ame
has been established for 10 sec. After this 10 second
period, the fl ame can be adjusted from HI to LO with
the switch.
3. The control module has safety feature that automatically
shuts down the fi replace 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 fi replace,
the wall switch will override any commands given by
the remote.

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 fl ames will begin to yellow as the appliance is al-
lowed to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.
When fi rst operated, this appliance may release an odor for the fi 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 fi 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 fi 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 fl ame should turn off when appliance is
turned off. Some optional control systems available with IPI models may allow pilot fl ame to
remain lit.
Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing must be
replaced prior to operating the appliance.
When properly maintained, your appliance will give you
many years of trouble-free service. We recommend annual service by a qualifi ed technician.
A. Maintenance Tasks-Homeowner
