I. Operation During A Power Outage -
IntelliFire™ Touch
The IntelliFire™ Touch intermittent pilot ignition system
comes with a battery backup system that enables the
system to operate in a power outage. The system offers
seamless transition from household AC power to battery
backup. The battery pack is located in the manual bag
that was shipped with the appliance. Battery longevity
and performance will be affected by long term exposure
to the service temperatures of this appliance.
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.
To Operate Fireplace Using Battery Power (DC):
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 battery pack that was shipped with your
manual, insert four AA cell batteries. Battery polarity
must be correct or module damage will occur. A
