IPI/STANDING PILOT SYSTEM INFORMATION
Intermittent Pilot Light and Standing Pilot Light Features
This gas fireplace 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 CPI (Standing Pilot) mode to allow the pilot light to remain on indefinitely
by setting the Remote Transmitter to CPI mode. If the remote transmitter is set to the IPI (Intermittent Pilot) mode, the pilot
light will only light and remain ON while the main fireplace burners are operating.
IPI Mode:
This mode turns the pilot light “OFF” when the fireplace is not functioning and only lights the pilot light automat-
ically when a call for heat is made by the remote control.
(CPI) Standing Pilot Mode:
If set to CPI Mode, the pilot light will ignite and remain ON at all times.
Setting To IPI versus CPI Mode
:
With the remote transmitter OFF, press the MODE
button. You will see either “CPI” or “IPI” displayed
on the transmitter screen. Press the UP arrow but-
ton to set “CPI” mode and press the DOWN arrow
button to set “IPI” mode. One set to the desired
setting, press On/Off button to activate the fire-
place.
NOTE
: Mendota Fireplaces recommends that the
(CPI) Standing Pilot Mode be used during the win-
ter months when the average daily high tempera-
ture falls below 50
o
F. This will keep the fireplace
chimney heated for proper updraft during burner
ignition and it will also eliminate excessive conden-
sation of exhaust vapors on the door glass. Fur-
ther, leaving the fireplace in the Standing Pilot
Mode will keep the fireplace body warm and elimi-
nate cold drafts and heat loss to the cold air that is
trapped inside the firebox.
