D.  Power Outage

In the event of a power outage, the IFT-RC150 can 

continue to operate the hearth appliance if batteries are 

installed in the appliance’s battery backup system.  Refer 

to the appliance Owner’s Manual for instructions for 
operation during a power outage.

E.  Manual Appliance Shutoff

In the unlikely event that the IFT-RC150 malfunctions and 

will not turn off the appliance, call your dealer for service 

assistance. In the meantime, you may choose one of the 

following actions to turn off the appliance:

CAUTION!  Risk of burns!  Appliance surfaces are hot 

when operating and during cool down. Use care and wear 

gloves when opening the front and accessing compo-

nents inside the appliance.

Turn off power to the appliance (if back-up batteries 

are not installed):

•  If the appliance comes equipped with a wired-wall switch, 

use that to turn it off. 

  Alternately, you can also locate the house circuit breaker 

for appliance and turn it off.

NOTICE: Batteries should only be used as an appliance 

power source in the event of a power outage. Batteries 

should not be used as a primary long-term power source. 

A.  Turn Flame ON/OFF

•  To turn the flame ON, press the top of the rocker switch. 

•  To turn the flame OFF, press the bottom of the rocker 

switch.

The IFT-ECM on the appliance has a safety feature that 

automatically shuts down the appliance after 9 hours of 

continuous operation without receiving a command from 

any of its paired devices.  

Figure 6.  IFT-RC150 Functions

B. COLD CLIMATE

This function turns on a continuous pilot and keeps the air 

inside the hearth appliance warm while not in use. It is a 

useful feature in cold weather to minimize condensation 

on the appliance glass.
•  To turn the cold climate mode ON/OFF,  press the small 

momentary push button below the rocker switch.  

C.  LED INDICATOR

•  The LED indicator is located above the rocker switch.  It 

blinks every time it transmits a function and also during 

pairing.

• The LED also functions as a IFT-RC150 low battery 

indicator.  Replace batteries if the red LED blinks once 

every 3 seconds continuously for longer than 5 minutes.

Note:  

If the LED blinks once every 2 seconds for 2 minutes,  

          every 12 minutes, this indicates that the IFT-RC150  

       has lost communication with IFT-ECM.
