IPI/STANDING PILOT SYSTEM INFORMATION
Intermittent Pilot Light and Standing Pilot Light
Features
This gas fireplace Insert is equipped with an electronic ignition
System that first lights a pilot light then uses the pilot light to
ignite the main burners. The pilot light can be set in the
“Standing Pilot” mode to allow the pilot light to remain on inde-
finitely by toggling the “Standing Pilot Switch” to the ON posi-
tion. If the “Standing Pilot Switch” is toggled to the OFF
position, the pilot light will only light and remain ON while the
main fireplace burners are operating.
NOTE : Before inserting batteries into the Remote Receiver’s battery
compartment, toggle the Pilot Light ON/OFF switch to the OFF
position. Toggle the switch “DOWN” to OFF. If the Pilot Light
ON/OFF switch is left in the ON position, the pilot light will start
sparking as soon as the batteries are inserted and the system may
“Lock-Out” if the gas line is turned to off.
IPI Mode:
This mode turns the pilot light “OFF” when the fire-
place is not functioning and only lights the pilot light automatically
when a call for heat is made by the remote control.
Standing Pilot Mode
: If the “Standing Pilot Switch” is toggled
to ON, the pilot light will ignite and remain ON as long as the
“Standing Pilot Light Switch” is in the ON position.
NOTE : Mendota Fireplaces recommends that the Stand-
ing Pilot Mode be used during the winter months when
external temperatures fall below 50
o
F . This will keep the
fireplace chimney heated for proper updraft during burner igni-
tion and it will also eliminate excessive condensation of ex-
haust vapors on the door glass. Further, leaving the fireplace
in the Standing Pilot Mode will keep the fireplace body warm and eliminate cold drafts and heat loss to the cold air that is
trapped inside the firebox.
