IPI AND CPI MODES
Intermittent Pilot and Continuous (Standing) Pilot Features
This gas fireplace is equipped with an electronic ignition system that first lights a pilot then uses the pilot to ignite the main
burners. The pilot can be set in the CPI (Continuous Pilot Ignition) mode to allow the pilot to remain on indefinitely by setting
the remote control to CPI mode. If the remote control is set to the IPI (Intermittent Pilot Ignition) mode, the pilot will only light
and remain ON while the main fireplace burners are operating.
IPI Mode
: This mode turns the pilot off when the fireplace is not functioning and only lights the pilot automatically when a call
for heat is made by the remote control.
CPI Mode
: If set to CPI mode, the pilot will ignite and remain on always.
Setting to IPI or CPI mode
With the remote control
OFF, press the MODE button. You will see either “CPI” or “IPI”
displayed on the screen. Press the Up-
arrow button to set “CPI” mode and pr
ess the DOWN
arrow button to set “IPI” mode. On
ce set to the desired setting, press ON/OFF button to
activate the fireplace.
Note:
The snowflake icon will be visible on the display at all times when in CPI mode.
Recommended
: Mendota recommends that
CPI mode is used during the winter months
when the average daily high
temperature falls below 50
°
F. This will keep the fireplace chimney heated for proper updraft during burner ignition, and it will
also eliminate excessive condensation of exhaust vapors on the door glass. Leaving the fireplace in CPI mode will keep the
fireplace body warm and eliminate cold drafts and heat loss to the cold air that is trapped inside the firebox.
