H. Heat Management
Heat Output
Heat Output is managed through the RC400 remote con-
trol that comes standard with the fireplace.
• Turn the appliance on and off.
• Adjust the height of the flame by varying the input using
the remote control.
• Adjust the fan speed.
For more information, see the instructions that accompany
the remote control.
NOTICE!
Set the fan speed to high on the RC400 remote
control during the first three to four hours of break-in
operation. See Section G. This break-in will ensure optimum
speed control of the fans during subsequent use.
G. Appliance Break-In
Follow the initial break-in procedure below to cure the
materials used to manufacture the fireplace and the
finishing materials around it.
• The fireplace should be run three to four hours
continuously on high flame and high fan.
• Turn the fireplace off and allow it to cool completely.
• Remove fixed glass assembly. See Section 4.B.
• Clean fixed glass assembly. See Section 4.B.
• Replace the fixed glass assembly and run continuously
on high an additional 12 hours.
Note:
For best results, complete second burn with the fan
off.
NOTICE!
This product comes equipped with fans that
provide remote control of heat output. See Section H. Set
the fan speed to high on the RC400 remote control during
the first three to four hours of break-in operation. This
break-in will ensure optimum speed control of the fans
during subsequent use.
NOTICE!
In some cases, residue may appear on the top
fiber refractory piece at the end of the initial break-in period.
Remove the residue by gently brushing with a soft-bristle
brush.
Note:
The IntelliFire Touch system has a safety feature
that automatically shuts down the fireplace after 9 hours of
continuous operation without receiving a command from
the remote control. If this occurs, restart the appliance.

Operation with 4xAA Battery Backup Power Source:
1. The decorative front should be removed to ease the
connection of the battery pack and replaced during
operation of the appliance.
2. Locate the USB-C battery power source that was
shipped in the gas appliance manual bag.
3. Insert 4xAA batteries into the battery backup power
source.
4. Make sure that the 4xAA batteries are inserted matching
the indicators shown on the battery backup power
source. If not installed correctly, module damage could
occur. A complete wiring diagram is included in the
Electrical section of the appliance installation manual.
5. Locate the USB-C connector on the appliance as
shown in Figure 3.4. Remove rubber plug from the
USB-C port and insert the battery backup power
source USB-C connector into the appliance USB-
C port. Save USB-C rubber plug for reusing after
power has been restored.
6. Place the battery backup power source away from
any heat source and hot surface to the extent pos-
sible. Excessive heat will reduce the battery life.
See Figure 3.5.
7. Turn on the gas appliance by using one of the IFT
control devices, RC150 Wireless Wall Switch or RC400
Remote Control, or through the Ignition Module.
The IntelliFire Touch intermittent pilot ignition system
comes with a battery backup system that enables
the system to operate in a power outage. This gas
appliance is equipped with a USB-C connector to use
battery backup power sources. The included 4xAA
battery backup power source can support gas appliance
operation for up to 72 hours. Other optional battery
backup power sources may be used, and could support
gas appliance operation for up to 172 hours ( 7 days).
The optional battery backup power sources will require a
single cable that has USB-C male connectors to connect
the gas appliance to a battery backup power source or
any other commercially available battery power sources
such as laptops or Lithium-Ion based battery pack
(power bank) chargers.
NOTICE:
Batteries should only be used as a power source
in the event of an emergency power outage. Batteries
should not be used as a primary long-term power source.
