G. Heat Management
Heat output can be controlled using the HI/LOW setting
on the control module. See Figure 3.3.
H. Detailed Component Operating Instruc-
tions - IntelliFireTM Plus
Control Module Operation
1. The control module has an ON/OFF/REMOTE selector
switch that must be set. See Figure 3.3.
OFF Position: Appliance will ignore all power inputs and
will not respond to any commands from a wall switch or
remote. The unit should be in the OFF position during
installation, service, battery installation, fuel conversion,
and in the event that the control goes into LOCK-OUT
mode as a result of an error code. The external control
switch must be in the OFF position also.
ON Position: Appliance will ignite and run continuously
in the HI flame setting, with no adjustment in flame
output. This mode of operation is primarily used for
initial installation or power outage operation with battery
backup. The external control switch must be in the ON
position also.
REMOTE Position: Appliance will initiate commands
from an optional wired wall switch and/or one of the
optional wireless remote options. The external control
switch must be in the ON position also.
2. With the module in REMOTE mode, the flame output
can be adjusted with the HI/LO selector switch on the
module. See Figure 3.3. Note that the control module
will always ignite the fireplace on HI and remain
so for the initial 10 seconds of operation. If the HI/
LO is switched to the LO position, the flame output
will automatically drop to the lowest setting after the
flame has been established for 10 seconds. After this
10-second period, the flame can be adjusted from HI
to LO with the switch.
3. The control module has a safety feature that automatically
shuts down the fireplace after nine hours of continuous
operation without receiving a command from the wall
switch or optional remote.

Nine Hour Safety Shutdown Feature
The appliance has a safety feature that automatically
shuts down the fireplace after nine hours of
continuous operation without receiving a command
from the wall switch or optional remote.
WARNING! DO NOT place combustible objects in front of
the fireplace. High temperatures could start a fire.
WARNING! Risk of Fire or Burns! Provide adequate
clearance for service access. Due to high temperatures,
the appliance should be located out of traffic and away
from furniture and draperies.
F. Appliance Break-In
Initial Break-in Procedure
When you light the appliance, you may notice that it
produces heat which does have an associated odor or
smell. This appliance should be run three to four hours
on the initial start-up. Turn it off and let it cool complete-
ly. Run the appliance for an additional 12 hours. This will
help cure the products used in the paint and logs.
4. The module has the capability to recognize potential
malfunctions. If these occur, it will fail to ignite and/or
respond to a command to ignite. If it fails to ignite, turn
off the external control switch and wait five seconds
and turn back on. If it fails to light the second time,
see Trouble Shooting guide. In this case, the module
may have gone into LOCK-OUT mode. In this state, it
will emit a RED/GREEN LED error code. To reset the
error code, switch the selector to OFF, and then back
to REMOTE or ON. If the ignition command again fails,
the module will emit an LED error code prior to going
back into LOCK-OUT mode. Contact your dealer for
service if this occurs.
Appliance ON/OFF
If an optional remote control or wall control is installed,
it should be used to control the ON/OFF function of the
appliance. Follow instructions included with the installed
control.
To operate the appliance without a wall control or remote
control, use the ON/OFF switch located on the control
box cover on the side of the appliance. See Figure 3.2.
CAUTION! Risk of Electric Shock! Avoid touching wires
and electrical components in appliance control cavity.

5 Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting
A. Frequently Asked Questions
ISSUE SOLUTIONS
Odor from fireplace
When first operated, this fireplace may release an odor for the first 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 finishing materials and adhesives used around the fireplace.
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 fireplace.
Lava Rock
There may be some “cracking” noise coming from the fireplace during the first few heating
and cooling cycles. This noise is associated with settling rock and some minor cracking of
larger pieces of rock. This will lessen over time as the glass rock is conditioned to the heat-
ing and cooling temperature changes.
Wall above appliance feels hot to
the touch.
No action necessary. This appliance ships with a non-combustible material attached. Speci-
fications of the attached non-combustible material are listed in the Installer’s Manual for this
appliance.

IntelliFire™ Plus Ignition System
Symptom Possible Cause Corrective Action
1. Pilot won’t light.
The ignitor/module
makes noise, but no
spark.
A. Incorrect wiring. Verify “S” wire (white) for sensor and “I” wire (orange) for ignitor are
connected to correct terminals on module and pilot assembly.
B. Loose connections or electrical
shorts in the wiring.
Verify no loose connections or electrical shorts in wiring from mod-
ule to pilot assembly. Verify connections underneath pilot assembly
are tight; also verify igniter and flame sense wires are not grounding
out to metal chassis, pilot burner, pilot enclosure, mesh screen if
present, or any other metal object.
C. Ignitor gap is too large. Verify gap of igniter to right side of pilot hood. The gap should be
approximately .17 in. or 1/8 in. (3 mm).
2. Pilot won’t light,
there is no noise or
spark.
A. No power, transformer installed
incorrectly, or depleted batteries.
Verify that transformer is installed and plugged into module. Check
voltage of transformer at connection to module. Acceptable read-
ings of a good transformer are between 6.4 and 6.6 volts DC. Bat-
tery power supply voltage must be at least 4 volts. If less than 4
volts, replace batteries.
B. A shorted or loose connection in
wiring configuration or wiring har-
ness.
Remove and reinstall the wiring harness that plugs into module.
Verify there is a tight fit. Verify pilot assembly wiring to module. Re-
move and verify continuity of each wire in wiring harness. Replace
any damaged components.
C. Improper wall switch wiring. Verify that 110-120 VAC power is “ON” to junction box.
D. Module not grounded. Verify black ground wire from module wire harness is grounded to
metal chassis of appliance.
3. Pilot sparks, but
Pilot will not light.
A. Gas supply. Verify that incoming gas line ball valve is “open”. Verify that inlet
pressure reading is within acceptable limits.
B. Ignitor gap is too large. Verify gap of igniter to right side of pilot hood. The gap should be
approximately .17 in. or 1/8 in. (3 mm).
C. Module is not grounded. Verify module is securely grounded to metal chassis of appliance.
D. Pilot valve solenoid. Verify that 1.5 to 1.8 VDC is supplied to pilot solenoid from module.
If below 1.5 volts, replace module. If 1.5 volts or greater, replace
valve.

4. Pilot sparks, but Pilot will
not light.
A. Gas supply. Verify that incoming gas line shutoff valve is “open”. Verify that inlet
pressure reading is within acceptable limits.
B. Ignitor gap is incorrect. Verify that spark gap from ignitor to pilot hood is .17 in. or 1/8 in (3
mm).
C. Module is not grounded. Verify black ground wire from module wire harness is grounded to
metal chassis of appliance.
D. Module voltage output is low. Verify battery voltage is at least 4 volts. Replace batteries if
voltage is below 4.
5. Pilot lights but continues
to spark, and burner will
not ignite. (If the pilot
continues to spark after
the pilot flame has been lit,
flame rectification has not
occurred.)
A. A shorted or loose connection
in flame sensing rod.
Verify all connections to wiring diagram in manual. Verify
connections underneath pilot assembly are tight. Verify
connections are not grounding out to metal chassis, pilot burner,
pilot enclosure or screen if present, or any other metal object.
B. Poor flame rectification or
contaminated flame sensing
rod.
Verify correct pilot orifice is installed and gas inlet is set to
pressure specifications. Check pilot for soot. Clean if necessary.
C. Module is not grounded. Verify module is securely grounded to metal chassis of appliance.
Verify that wire harness is firmly connected to the module.
D. Damaged pilot assembly or
contaminated flame sensing
rod.
Verify that ceramic insulator around the flame sensing rod is not
cracked, damaged, or loose. Verify connection from flame sensing
rod to white sensor wire. Polish flame sensing rod with fine steel
wool to remove any contaminants that may have accumulated on
flame sensing rod. Verify continuity with a multimeter with ohms
set at lowest range. Replace pilot if any damage is detected.
E. Module. Turn ON/OFF rocker switch or wall switch to OFF position.
Remove ignitor wire “I” from module. Place ON/OFF rocker switch
or wall switch in ON position. If there is no spark at “I” terminal
module must be replaced. If there is a spark at “I” terminal, module
is fine.
6. No pilot, no burner flame;
