•A 120VAC circuit for this product must be protected with
•Low voltage and 120 VAC voltage cannot be shared within the same wall box.
WARNING! Risk of Shock or Explosion! DO NOT wire 120V to the valve or to the appliance wall switch. Incor- rect wiring will damage controls.
•Determine if the appliance uses an Intellifire ignition system or standing pilot ignition system.

•To power appliance with 120VAC to operate a fan or remote control, an outlet box may be installed in a bottom back corner of the existing solid fuel masonry or factory built fireplace to plug in the cord assembly or the supplied power cord may be routed out onto the hearth to a nearby outlet.
NOTICE: DO NOT wire 120 VAC to the millivolt valve! This will damage the valve.
•If using a thermostat use one compatible with a millivolt gas valve system:
-Install the thermostat in the location as indicated in the thermostat instructions to ensure proper operation of appliance.
-Use low resistance thermostat wire for wiring from ignition system to the wall switch and thermostat.
-Keep wire lengths short as possible by removing any excess wire length.
C. IntelliFire Plus™ Ignition System Wiring
•Wire an outlet box (120VAC) in the bottom back corner of the existing solid fuel masonry or factory built fireplace to plug in the cord assembly. The supplied cord assembly may also be routed out onto the hearth to a nearby outlet.
