CPI – Continuous Pilot Mode

• CPI mode keeps the pilot light ignited for 7 days.
• Keeping the pilot ignited, allows the firebox to remain warm. This helps the fireplace establish a draft which can be useful for days with high wind and extreme cold.

My Glass has condensation on it”

1. Condensation is a normal occurrence in direct Vented fireplaces. it will evaporate when the unit heats up.
2. To reduce the amount of condensation you see, it is suggested to leave your unit in CPI mode. (Page 8) This leaves the pilot light on for a maximum of 7 days.

This keeps your firebox warm and dry thereby reducing the moisture in the firebox that would result in condensation.

The flames look blue

1. Blue-coloured flames are a normal occurrence when the fireplace is first turned on. Venting size and setup will determine how quickly the flame establishes its orange colour.
2. Improper venturi or restrictor adjustment
   • If the flame remains blue after prolonged use contact your Urbana dealer.
