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.

implied, or in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be limited to replacement, repair, or refund, as specified above. 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. EXCEPT TO

MODULE
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 (RC300).
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 (RC200/RC300) 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 RC300
remote.
4. If you intend to use both an optional wired wall switch
and the RC300 remote control to operate your replace,
the wall switch will override any commands given by
the remote.
5. Module Reset
This module may lock-out under certain conditions.
When this occurs, the appliance will not ignite or
respond to commands. The module will go into lock-out
mode by emitting three audible beeps, then continuously
displaying a RED/GREEN error code at its status
indicator LED.

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.
