Determine the Ignition

To determine whether your appliance is an electronic
ignition or a standing pilot ignition, remove the lower
panel to examine the wiring system.  If your system has a
red ignitor button (as shown in Figure 1), you own a
standing pilot ignition fireplace.  If no red ignitor button is
present, you own an electronic ignition appliance.  

You may also check the rating label located on the inside
of the lower panel to determine ignition type.
