616 Diamond-Fyre (DF) Insert - Cheat Sheet
Page 1 of 2 17601781 Printed 5/10/13
The 616 DF has several new features and characteristics that require special attention during installation and set-up. This unit
uses the new GreenSmart 2 system. Refer to the owner’s manual for full details.
GreenSmart™ 2
This heater uses the GreenSmart™ 2 components from SIT. These components function in a near identical fashion to the
previous GreenSmart™ 1 components. The primary differences are:
• The accent light now has dimming capability built into the remote.
• The pilot may be switched from intermittent (IPI) to standing pilot from the remote.
Remote Control / Pilot Warnings
Installing batteries in the battery holder or connecting the appliance to power may automatically initiate the CPI
pilot mode, resulting in a lit pilot flame. Do not place combustibles in the firebox.
KEEP BATTERIES AND COVER INSTALLED AT ALL TIMES
The remote control system requires the batteries and battery cover to remain in place at all times. Once
the batteries or cover are removed, the system may re-start in standing pilot mode. If this occurs when
the heater is in Remote Mode, you will not be able to turn the heater off manually from the battery box.
If you need to replace dead batteries, make sure to turn the appliance off before removing the batteries.
NOTE: If the batteries go dead, the system will operate normally as long as household power (120v AC)
is present.
This Insert Uses a Unique Remote (no comfort control)
This insert uses a single-burner configuration, unlike our other inserts. The remote has been re-programmed to remove the
comfort control feature.
If using LP (Propane)
A conversion kit is required if using propane with this heater (sku 94400999 – GSR Stepper Motor Kit).

HAVE YOUR ACCESSORIES ON HAND WHEN INSTALLING THIS INSERT
This insert requires the following accessories:
•9 Pounds of Crushed Glass (may be ordered from Travis Industries in 10 pound boxes)
•Metal Firebacks (black painted, black enamel, stainless steel) – ceramic firebacks will not fit
•616 Surround Panels
•616 Face
These accessories are required to ensure correct and safe operation. Do not operate the appliance
without the firebacks in place.
ORDER OF INSTALLATION
When setting up the insert, you will need to follow a specific order of installation to optimize
installation time. Failure to have all of the accessories available at the time of installation will delay
installation and may lead to unnecessary disassembly of components.
1. Run gas line to the fireplace
2. Remove the glass frame.
3. Run vent through fireplace chimney. On larger fireplaces, the vent connector may be left in place.
For smaller fireplaces, remove the vent connector. See “Vent Connector Removal and Installation”
for details.
INSTALLATION WARNING: If using a tall vent on natural gas (over 25’) – you must
open the diffuser before attaching the vent. See “Diffuser Adjustment” for details.
INSTALL THE LIGHT SHIELD (ALL FACES EXCEPT SHADOWBOX). The light shield
(shipped with the face) prevents light from exiting the upper grill area. Install this prior to
placing the insert.
4. Place insert into position and attach the gas line and vent.
5. Remove the media tray.
NOTE: If using propane (LP), convert the appliance at this time.
6. Install the firebacks.
7. Replace the media tray.
8. Install the crushed glass (see instructions in manual – make sure to use the pilot guard).
LP Units: Make sure the glass is a maximum 1 layer thick on or near the burner
NG Units: Make sure the glass is a maximum 2 layers thick on or near the burner.
If the glass is too thick it will impair burner performance and create soot.
9. Install the surround panel (see instructions included with surround panel).
10. Replace the glass.
11. Install the face (see instructions included with the face).
12. Follow the instructions under “Finalizing the Installation.”
