Thank You and Congratulations for choosing an Archgard Gas Fireplace!
Sereno (Se-RE-no) - Mastery over fire is one of the great achievements of humanity, providing heat, light, protection, and enhanced
nourishment. Since the dawn of human kind, we have been drawn to fire and the comfort that fire delivers. We allow the fire’s heat to
envelope us as we stare into the dancing flames, and allow our worries to melt away. What remains is “sereno”, the serene.

Pilot Settings

CPI vs IPI:
Continuous Pilot on Demand Ignition (CPI)
: In this mode the
pilot runs continuously even when the main burner is off. The
Continuous Pilot on Demand Ignition operates on a seven day
cycle. If the main burner is not turned on for seven continuous
days, the pilot will turn itself off. When the main burner is lit again
the cycle repeats. The pilot will remain lit for seven days, even
after the main burner is turned off. If the main burner is lit during a
seven day timing cycle, the seven day timer will reset.
Intermittent Pilot Ignition (IPI)
: A fuel saving mode in which the
pilot is only used when the main burner is on.
This appliance is shipped in IPI mode. IPI mode is often the
preferred method, however, there are some situations where
it may be preferable to switch the fireplace into CPI mode. For
example, in colder climates the glass door or the front of the
fireplace could become very cold to the touch. Dynamic Start
Advantage will solve most problems experienced by older IPI
operated fireplaces.
