Hearth & Home Technologies
LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY
Hearth & Home Technologies, on behalf of its hearth brands (“HHT”), extends the following warranty for HHT
gas, wood, pellet, coal and electric hearth appliances that are purchased from an HHT authorized dealer.
WARRANTY COVERAGE:
HHT warrants to the original owner of the HHT appliance at the site of installation, and to any transferee taking ownership
of the appliance at the site of installation within two years following the date of original purchase, that the HHT appliance
will be free from defects in materials and workmanship at the time of manufacture. After installation, if covered compo-
nents manufactured by HHT are found to be defective in materials or workmanship during the applicable warranty period,
HHT will, at its option, repair or replace the covered components. HHT, at its own discretion, may fully discharge all of its
obligations under such warranties by replacing the product itself or refunding the verified purchase price of the product
itself. The maximum amount recoverable under this warranty is limited to the purchase price of the product. This warranty
is subject to conditions, exclusions and limitations as described below.
WARRANTY PERIOD:
Warranty coverage begins on the date of original purchase. In the case of new home construction, warranty coverage
begins on the date of first occupancy of the dwelling or six months after the sale of the product by an independent,
authorized HHT dealer/ distributor, whichever occurs earlier. The warranty shall commence no later than 24 months
following the date of product shipment from HHT, regardless of the installation or occupancy date. The warranty period for
parts and labor for covered components is produced in the following table.
The term “Limited Lifetime” in the table below is defined as: 20 years from the beginning date of warranty coverage for
gas appliances, and 10 years from the beginning date of warranty coverage for wood, pellet, and coal appliances. These
time periods reflect the minimum expected useful lives of the designated components under normal operating conditions.

wear gloves when opening the front and accessing com-
ponents inside the appliance.
- Be aware the appliance may be HOT, use
care in accessing the IFT-ECM.
- Set the IFT-ECM 3-position selector switch to
OFF position.
The IFT-RC400 and IFT-RC150 remotes are an option
for these models.
1. The Electronic Control Module (IFT-ECM) has a
three-position ON/OFF/REMOTE selector switch
that must be set for proper operation. See Figure
3.6. When changing switch positions, it is important
to pause in each position for 1-2 seconds.
OFF Position:
The appliance will not respond to any commands
from a wired wall switch, IFT-RC150 or IFT-RC400
remote controls. The unit should be in the OFF
position during service, fuel conversion, and to
reset the IFT-ECM in the event the system goes
into a LOCK-OUT mode as the result of a system
error. When switched to the OFF position while the
appliance is operating, the system will shut down.
ON Position:
The appliance will ignite and run continuously at
the HI ame setting. No adjustment in ame height
is possible.
Remote Position:
The remote position allows operation of the
appliance from a wired wall switch, IFT-RC400 or
IFT-RC150 remote controls. The IFT-ECM switch
must be in this position to pair the IFT-ECM with the
IFT-ACM (if installed), and/or IFT-RC400 and IFT-
RC150 remote controls. See the IFT-RC400 or IFT-
RC150 installation manual for detailed instructions
on pairing the IFT-ECM with the remote controls.
After successfully pairing a IFT-RC400, all installed
accessories can be controlled by the IFT-RC400
(see IFT-RC400 user manual). The RC150 allows
the user to turn ON/OFF the ame in the appliance
and activate the Cold Climate mode if desired. The
IFT-ECM has a safety feature that will automatically
shut down the replace after 9 hours of continuous
operation without receiving a command from the
IFT-RC400 or IFT-RC150.
2. If multiple control options are installed, the IFT-ECM
will respond to the last command from the wired wall
switch, IFT-RC400 or IFT-RC150. The wired wall
switch is NOT available if a Power Vent is used.
The IFT-ECM has a safety feature that will
automatically shut down the replace after
9 hours of continuous operation in the ON
position, except when operated in active
thermostat mode.
3. The Pilot button on the IFT-ECM activates the Cold
Climate function of the replace. This function lights
the pilot ame ONLY to provide enough heat in the
rebox to reduce condensation in cool, high humidity
ambient conditions. To activate the Cold Climate

5 Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting
A. Frequently Asked Questions - Appliance
ISSUE SOLUTIONS
Condensation on the glass This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the replace warms, this
condensation will disappear.
Blue ames This is a result of normal operation and the ames will begin to yellow as the replace is al-
lowed to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.
Odor from replace
When rst operated, this replace may release an odor for the rst several hours. This is caused
by the curing of the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing. Odor
may also be released from nishing materials and adhesives used around the replace. These
circumstances may require additional curing related to the installation environment.
Film on the glass
This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint and logs. Glass should be cleaned
within 3 to 4 hours of initial burning to remove deposits left by oils from the manufacturing
process. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas replace glass cleaner may be necessary. See
your dealer.
Metallic noise
Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to
the sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or
longevity of the replace.
Is it normal to see the pilot ame burn
continually?
In an intermittent pilot ignition system (IPI), the pilot ame should turn off when appliance is
turned off. Some optional control systems available with IPI models may allow pilot ame to
remain lit.
Power Outages
(battery backup)
This appliance can be operated on battery power in the event of a power outage. To access
the battery pack, the decorative front, mesh and glass assembly must be removed. Refer to
Section 3 for more details.
Wall above appliance feels hot to
the touch.
No action necessary. This appliance ships with a non-combustible material attached. Speci-
cations of the attached non-combustible material are listed in the Installer’s Manual for this
appliance.
