IPI AND PILOT ON DEMAND MODES
Intermittent Pilot and Pilot on Demand 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 (Pilot on Demand) mode to allow the pilot to remain on for 7 days before timing out 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 for a time of 7 days of inactivity before shutting off. Each time
the fireplace is used the 7-day clock will reset.
5.7.1
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 press the
DOWN arrow button to set “IPI” mode. Once 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 firep lace 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 .
