Optional Lighting Control
Turning OFF the fireplace with the wall switch will NOT turn OFF the lighting (if installed). To turn OFF these functions,
use the remote control before turning OFF the fireplace with the wall switch receiver.
1.
Repeatedly press MODE until the LIGHT icon displays (
Figure 48
).
2.
Press the UP/DOWN ARROW key to toggle through light intensity levels to OFF.
Manual ON—Remote Control System Bypass (flame operation only)
When bypassing the remote control system, the fireplace will operate at the last setting (Hi or Low).
1.
Slide the wall switch to the ON position (
Figure 47
). This will bypass the remote control, and the burner will light.
Manual OFF—Remote Control System Bypass (flame operation only)
When bypassing the remote control system, the fireplace will operate at the last setting (Hi or Low).
1.
Slide the wall switch receiver to the OFF position (
Figure 42
). The burner will shut OFF.
Continuous Pilot Ignition / Intermittent Pilot Ignition
These fireplaces have continuous pilot ignition (CPI) / intermittent pilot ignition (IPI) functionality; controlled by the
remote control transmitter:
• Intermittent Mode—The pilot is extinguished when the fireplace is OFF.
• Continuous Mode—The pilot stays ON when the fireplace is OFF.
In periods of extreme cold, condensation may form on the glass door when the fireplace is OFF and the pilot is in
intermittent mode. Also, with the pilot in intermittent mode, the fireplace may cycle startup (i.e., the pilot and burner ignite,
but the burner extinguishes and reignites several times until the flue reaches the temperature for proper drafting).
• To save energy—switch to intermittent mode.
• For a standing pilot that will help prevent glass door condensation and cycle startup—switch to continuous mode.
NOTE:
Continuous mode is indicated by a pilot that comes ON and remains lit when the fireplace is OFF.
Installing the Firebox Liners
Install the side panels (from kit)
1.
Align screw hole in top flange of side panel with upper hole in inside wall of fireplace.
2.
Align screw holes in bottom flanges of side panel with holes in front ledge and rear ledge.
3.
Secure each panel with three (3) screws provided with the kit.
Install back panel (from kit)
1.
Insert bottom edge of back panel into fireplace. Lift it over the tabs on rear ledge of fireplace, then position it in
front of the previously installed reflector.
2.
Align screw holes in top and bottom edges of back panel with holes in fireplace ceiling and rear ledge. Secure
using seven (7) screws provided with the kit.
Installing the Glass Media
1.
Install the glass media in the recessed area between the front and rear floors.
NOTE:
42” fireplaces require less than a full bag of glass media. 54” fireplaces require an entire bag of media.
2.
Spread the glass media in a thin layer, evenly around the burner. Do NOT mound the media.
NOTE:
It is important to ensure proper glass media placement per the manual when installing these units..
Verify pilot flame is not obstructed. Ensure media does not fall through the pilot hole in the floor. See Verifying

WARNING
• Do NOT attempt to install firebox liner panels until the fireplace is installed, the gas-line has been
connected and tested for leaks, and initial burner operation has been confirmed.
• The glass media was designed to provide a safe, reliable, attractive flame. Any attempt to use media not specified for
this fireplace will result in incomplete combustion, sooting, poor flame quality, and will void the warranty.
• Glass media gets very HOT during fireplace use and will remain hot up to ONE HOUR after gas supply is turned
off. HANDLE MEDIA ONLY WHEN COOL. Turn OFF all electricity to the appliance before installing media.
• If glass media is not installed according to the installation instructions, flame impingement and improper combustion could
occur, resulting in soot and/or excessive production of carbon monoxide (CO), a TOXIC gas that is colorless and odorless.
• This appliance is NOT designed to burn wood. Any attempt to burn wood in this fireplace may be a safety
hazard, cause irreparable damage the appliance, and void the warranty.
