This is your main screen. An outside air temperature will be displayed at the top of your screen. This temperature reflects the postal code entered during set up.

This main screen also provides:

Location and name of the appliance controlled by this device.
Status of the Flame function. If flame function is ON, then the flame level will be displayed.

FUNCTIONS – iOS

Flame

Turn Flame On/Off
Move the slider switch to the right to turn ON the Flame, to the left to turn OFF the flame. When the flame is ON the slider switch color will change.
Flame Height
You can set the flame height with the (+) / (-) buttons for your desired flame height level to affect the ambiance and control the heat output. Each press of the button will change the flame height one level.
Your appliance will remember the previous flame height setting and adjust the flame to that level 10 seconds after turning the flame on. Each level will take 4 seconds to transition.

Note: It is recommended to allow four seconds between each command to change the flame height. If the flame height adjustments are made too quickly, the app display may not accurately display flame height status.

Thermostat
If this appliance is equipped with a remote control, you can set and maintain your desired room temperature through the app.
Note: The remote control is equipped with a sensor that measures temperature. Locate the remote within the room that you want to maintain the temperature.

On/Off
This function is to turn your appliance thermostat ON or OFF.

Thermostat Adjustment
When the Temperature function is turned ON, the rotary icon will activate for room temperature adjustment. Rotate the thermostat adjustment to the desired room temperature.

Timer
A timer can be set to automatically turn off the appliance after a set time, up to 2 hours and 59 minutes. Turn the flame on prior to setting the timer. The timer will turn the flame off automatically after the the selected preset amount of time. See Figure 4.

This appliance defaults to the previous settings, when activated.

Cold Climate
This function turns on a small continuous pilot flame and keeps the air inside your appliance warm while not in use. It is a useful feature in colder weather to minimize con-densation on the appliance glass.

Note: This feature is not available if a Power Vent or Smart Wall is installed on the appliance.

Note: The Cold Climate function will automatically turn OFF after 166 hours if appliance is not actively used. If Flame ON is activated before 166 hours, the cold climate timer will reset.

Lights
The lights will only appear if that feature is available on your appliance. Adjust the lights in the appliance using the slider bar on app screen. There are three light levels.

Fan
The fan will only appear if the feature is available on your appliance. Your appliance has a built-in delay that prevents the fan from operating within the first three minutes of operation. This allows the air to be heated to a comfortable temperature before the fan circulates it. Adjust the fan speed using the slider bar on app screen. There are four levels for fan speed.

The fan will always start on Level 4 for the first ten seconds, then automatically adjust to the speed selected on the app.
The fan will automatically run for 12 minutes after the flame is turned OFF. This feature is intended to transfer residual heat from the appliance.

Power Vent
If the appliance was installed with a Power Vent, a two minute pre-purge is required between the ON command and the flame ignition. The app may display a pop-up message to confirm that Power Vent is in pre-purge mode.

Set up Instructions for Commercial Application

In commercial or business environments, it is common to have Firewall security setup on your network. If your router is configured with MAC address filtering enabled, the MAC addresses of the Wi-Fi module must be added to the list of authorized devices.
Please work with your network administrator to understand your network configuration, if required to add the MAC address to your router, use the instructions below.

To do this:

Locate and copy the MAC address found on the Wi-Fi module. See Figure 1.
Provide the MAC address to your network administrator.
The network administrator will configure the server to allow for an unauthenticated connection to the MAC address of the Wi-Fi module.
Once the MAC address is added, download and set up the IntelliFire app:
- iOS device – follow “Set-up Instructions for iOS” located in Section 4.
- Android device – follow “Set-up Instructions for Android” in Section 6.

Note: There is a possible exception to the set-up pro cess, depending on instructions you receive from your network administrator to accomplish the unauthenticated connection. Section 4, step 7 (iOS) or Section 6, step 8 (Android), your network administrator may advise you to select the Wi-Fi network but do not enter a network password. In this case, after you select “next” the app will ask if you are sure you want to continue without a password. Select yes and complete the setup.

Troubleshooting

NOTE: Weak Wi-Fi signal strength at the appliance may cause the IntelliFire app to lag in response to commands.
If you have access to see the Wi-Fi module and control module in your appliance, the Wi-Fi module will illuminate light sequences that may be helpful during troubleshooting. See Figure 1 in Section 10 for locating your module.
