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 ig-
nite the main burners. The pilot light can be set in the CPI (Standing Pilot) mode to allow the pilot light to remain on indef-
initely 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 button 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 fireplace.
NOTE : Mendota Fireplaces recommends that the (CPI) Standing Pilot Mode be used during the winter months
when the average daily high temperature falls below 50
o
F . This will keep the fireplace chimney heated for proper up-
draft during burner ignition and it will also eliminate excessive condensation of exhaust 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.
