Town & Country Fireplaces feature the Maestro Control
System*. Each replace arrives equipped with a small
wall-mounted decor-series faceplate that is located by
wire up to 25’ from the hearth. This permits on/off oper-
ation, ame modulation and houses the battery back-up
system for operation during power outages.
The concealed valve system within the replace fea-
tures a quick disconnect modular design, and external
ports for gas set-up and testing. With no batteries in the
replace, there is little need for the property owner to
open the glass upon installation.
An elegant handheld 4-way programmable remote is
also included with every unit. A count-down timer, week-
day/weekend programmable on/off, manual control and
thermostat mode (where permitted), are programmed
on the easy-to-read LCD display. The remote also offers
a child lock-out feature.
Each Town & Country Fireplace is shipped with a
Maestro Control electronic ignition system. Conversion
to standing pilot is possible at the press of a button.
*Available on Series C Town & Country replaces only.

Hearth Extension
While a hearth extension is not required for this
replace, one is recommended for aesthetic
reasons. The hearth extension should be non-
combustible and must not be any more than
1" above the bottom of the replace. If thicker,
replace must be raised up accordingly.
Caution: Hearth extensions
thicker than 1" will interfere with
the window frame.
