age, bodily injury, or even death.

Intermittent Pilot Light and Standing Pilot Light Features

This gas fireplace is equipped with an electronic ignition System that first lights a pilot light then uses the pilot light to ig-
nite the main burners. The pilot light can be set in the "Standing Pilot" mode to allow the pilot light to remain on indefinite-
ly by toggling the "Standing Pilot Switch" to the ON position. If the "Standing Pilot Switch" is toggled to the OFF position,
the pilot light will only light and remain ON while the main fireplace burners are operating.
IPI Mode:
This mode turns the pilot light "OFF" when the fireplace is not functioning and only lights the pilot light auto-
matically when a call for heat is made by the remote control.
Standing Pilot Mode
NOTE: Mendota Fireplaces recommends that the Standing Pilot Mode be used during the winter months when
external temperatures fall below 50
tion and it will also eliminate excessive condensation of exhaust vapors on the door glass. Further, leaving the fireplace
in the Standing Pilot Mode will keep the fireplace body warm and eliminate cold drafts and heat loss to the cold air that is
trapped inside the firebox.
ATTENTION!
The transmitter and receiver are RADIO FREQUENCY DEVICES. Placing the receiver in or near metal may
severely reduce the signal range.
• Turn off the main gas supply of the appliance during installation or maintenance of the receiver.
• Place the receiver's 3-position slider switch in the "off" position during installation or maintenance.
• Turn "off" main gas supply to the appliance prior to removing or reinserting the batteries in the receiver.
• During appliance installation/maintenance or in case of remote control malfunction, turn off electrical
supply to this appliance and remove the batteries from the wall receiver battery compartment. Contact
technical service.
