N. Low Battery Power Detection

Transmitter

The life span of the remote control batteries depends on various factors: quality of batteries used, the number of ignitions of the appliance, the number of changes to the room thermostat set point, etc.

When the transmitter batteries are low, a battery icon will appear on the LCD display of the transmitter (Figure 2.17) before all battery power is lost. When the batteries are replaced this icon will disappear.

Figure 2.17 Battery Low Icon

O. Manual Bypass of the Remote System

If the batteries of the receiver or transmitter are low or depleted, the appliance can be turned on manually by sliding the 3-position slider switch on the receiver to the ON position. This will bypass the remote control feature of the system and the appliance main burner will come on if the gas valve is in the ON position.

P. Remote Operation

This remote control kit has a hand held transmitter that can be used as a remote on/off or as a thermostat. The transmitter display shows the current room temperature, target temperature, timer setting, on/off status, low battery indicator, current time, burner/valve operation and fan operation. Electrical ratings for the receiver are: 110 VAC, 60 Hz, 6 W.

S. 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 ﬂ ames This is a result of normal operation and the ﬂ ames will begin to yellow as the appliance is allowed

to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.

Odor from appliance When ﬁ rst operated, this appliance may release an odor for the ﬁ rst several hours. This is caused

by the curing of materials from manufacturing. Odor may also be released from ﬁ nishing materials and adhesives used near the appliance. These circumstances may require additional curing related to the installation environment.

Film on the glass 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. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas appliance glass cleaner may be necessary. See your dealer.

Metallic noise 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.

Is it normal to see the pilot ﬂ ame burn continually?

In an IntelliFire 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. In a standing pilot system the pilot will always stay on.

B. Construct the Appliance Chase

A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the gas appliance and/or its vent system.

NOTICE: Treatment of ceiling ﬁ restops and wall shield

ﬁ 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 ﬂ oor of the chase should be insulated. Vapor and air inﬁ ltration barriers should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for the rest of the home. Additionally, in regions where cold air inﬁ ltration may be an issue, the inside surfaces may be sheetrocked and taped for maximum air tightness.

To further prevent drafts, the wall shield and ceiling ﬁ re- stops should be caulked with high temperature caulk to seal gaps. Gas line holes and other openings should be caulked with high temp caulk or stuffed with unfaced insulation. If the appliance is being installed on a cement slab, 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 speciﬁ ed 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 ﬁ replace or chimney.

• Failure to maintain airspace may cause overheating and a ﬁ re.

Verify ﬂ ame is engulﬁ ng sensor rod. If the pilot assembly does not have a ground strap, consider installing one to increase ﬂ ame rectiﬁ cation. Verify correct pilot oriﬁ ce is installed and inlet gas speciﬁ cations are met. Flame carries rectiﬁ cation current, not the gas. If ﬂ ame lifts from pilot hood, the circuit is broken. A wrong oriﬁ ce or too high an inlet pressure can cause pilot ﬂ ame to lift. The sensor rod may be contaminated. Clean sensor rod with emery cloth.

wire harness is ﬁ rmly connected to module. Verify that ceramic insulator around the sensor rod is not cracked, damaged, or loose.

Verify connection from sensor rod to white sensor wire. Clean sensor rod with emery cloth to remove any contaminants that may have accumulated on sensor rod. Verify continuity with a multimeter with ohms set at lowest range.

Clean and adjust the pilot ﬂ ame for maximum ﬂ ame impingement on sensor. Follow lighting instructions carefully.

Check for gas leaks.

The horizontal vent cap should slope down only enough to prevent any water from entering the unit. The maximum downwards slope is 1/4 in.

Tighten the corner.

Check for proper installation and freedom from debris or blockage.

THIS OPENING. Ensure that the vent cap is installed properly and free of debris, and that the vent system

joints are tight and have no leaks; that no debris has been placed at the base of, or in the rea of the air holes in the center of the base pan beneath the burner; that the glass is tightened properly on the unit, particularly on top corners.

Verify fan control module is plugged in to box, 3-pin connector is seated.
