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.
