A. Wiring Requirements

NOTICE: This appliance must be electrically wired and grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition or the Canadian Electric

Code CSA C22.1.

Wire the appliance junction box to 110-120 VAC. This is required for use of optional accessories and proper operation of the appliance (Intellifire ignition).

A 110-120 VAC circuit for this product must be protected with ground-fault circuit-interrupter protection, in compliance with the applicable electrical codes, when it is installed in locations such as in bathrooms or near sinks.

Low voltage and 110 VAC voltage cannot be shared within the same wall box.

WARNING! Risk of Shock or Explosion! DO NOT wire 110V to the valve or to the appliance wall switch. Incorrect wiring will damage controls.

B. Intellifire Ignition System Wiring

Wire the appliance junction box to 110 VAC for proper operation of the appliance.

WARNING! Risk of Shock or Explosion! DO NOT wire IPI controlled appliance junction box to a switched circuit. Incorrect wiring will override IPI safety lockout.

Refer to Figure 12.2, Intellifire Pilot Ignition (IPI) Wiring Diagram.

This appliance is equipped with an Intellifire control valve which operates on a 3 volt system.

Plug the 3-volt AC transformer into the appliance junction box to supply power to the unit OR install two D cell batteries (not included) into the battery pack before use.

NOTICE: Batteries should not be placed in the battery pack while using the transformer. Remove batteries before using the transformer, and unplug the transformer before installing the batteries. Battery polarity must be correct or module damage will occur. When using batteries, place the battery pack outside the decorative front to prolong the life of the batteries.

C. Optional Accessories Requirements

This appliance may be used with a wall switch, wall mounted thermostat and/or a remote control.

Wiring for optional Hearth & Home Technologies approved accessories should be done now to avoid reconstruction. Follow instructions that come with those accessories.
