Understanding the Basic Operation

Residential R320 & R420 fireplace
The control compartment of this fireplace is located in the
bottom of the fireplace right below the burner system. All
models will be supplied with a Honeywell smart valve gas
control and will not have a variable flame control. There
are two air switches that are controlling the gas control
system, and are located in the bottom of this fireplace.
These gas valves, and pressure switches communicate
with the electrical control panel via a six conductor cable
supplied with the fireplace.
To operate the fireplace, Montigo has supplied and installed
twenty feet of low voltage wire to this electrical control
panel. Connect the two wire harness to a standard single
pole ON/Off switch located at a location of your choice.
You may also extent these wires to any length, as long as
you select a wire of equal quality.
