Note the polarity of batteries and install them as indicated by the silk
screen (+/-) on the holder.
Set manual switch to OFF position, see figure 6.
Connect AC Power (120 volts, 60 Hz) to fireplace
Operating the System for the first time
Press SW1 button on the control module. The control module will beep three (3) times and amber LED, see figure 2, is illuminated to indicate that the IFC is ready to synchronize with a remote control within 10 sec. Push the ON button. The control module will “beep” four (4) times to indicate transmitter’s command is accepted.
The System is now initialized.
WARNING
Battery operated device. Read the battery instructions before installing them
into the system. Do not expose any battery, or its holder, or a device in
whichbatteries are installed, to a working temperature greater than 54°C /
129°F. Avoid battery overheating even if the working temperature of the device
to which the batteries are connected is reported to be greater than 54°C /
129°F. In case of overheating the bad cases, develop hydrogen gas and explode.
Temperature indication Display
With the system in the “Off” position, press the Thermostat Key and the Mode Key at the same time. Look at the LCD screen on the Remote Control to verify that a C or F is visible to the right of the Room Temperature display, see figure 5 .
Figure 5. Remote Control display in Farenheit & Celsius.
Turn On the Fireplace
With the system Off, turn the manual On/Off switch to on and press the On/Off Key on the Remote Control. The manual On/Off switch is located on the right side of the fireplace under the valve blind cover. The Remote Control display will show some other active Icons on the screen.At the same time the Control Module will activate the fireplace. A single “beep” from the Control Module will confirm reception of the command.
Figure 6. Manual On/Off Switch
Turn Off the Fireplace
With the system On, press the On/Off Key on the Remote Control. The Remote Control LCD display will only show the room temperature, see figure 7. At the same time the Control Module will turn off the fireplace. A single “beep” from the Receiver confirms reception of the command.
Figure 7. Remote Control display.
Remote-Flame Control
The proflame has six (6) flame levels. With the system on, and the flame level
at the maximum in the fireplace, pressing the Down Arrow Key once will reduce
the flame height by one step until the flame is turned off.
The Up Arrow Key will increase the flame height each time it is pressed. If
the Up Arrow Key is pressed while the system is on but the flame is off, the
flame will come on in the high position, see figure 8 & 9.
Figure 8. Flame Off and Flame Level 1.
Figure 9. Flame Level 5 and Flame Level Maximum.
Room Thermostat (Remote Control …….. Operation)
The Remote Control can operate as a room thermostat. The thermostat can be set to a desired temperature to control the comfort level in a room. To activate the function, press the Thermostat Key, see figure 1. The LCD display on the remote control will change to show that the room thermostat is “On” and the set temperature is now displayed, see figure 10. To adjust the set temperature press the Up or Down Arrow Keys until the desired set temperature is displayed on the LCD screen of the Transmitter.
Figure 10. Setting Room Thermostat
Smart Thermostat (Remote Control …….. Operation)
The Smart Thermostat function adjusts the flame height in accordance to the difference between the set point temperature and the actual room temperatures. As the room temperature gets closer to the set point the Smart FUnction will modulate the flame down. To activate the function, press the Thermostat Key, see figure 1, until the word “SMART” appears to the right of the temperature bulb graphic, see figure 11.
NOTE: When smart Thermostat is activated, manual flame height adjustment is disabled.

Fan Speed Control
The fireplace may be equipped with a hot air circulating fans. The speed of the fan can be controlled by the Proflame system. The fan speed can be adjusted through six (6) speeds. To activate this function use the Mode Key, see figure 1, to index to the fan control icon, see figure 12. Use the Up/Down Arrow Keys, see figure 1, to turn on, off, or adjust the fan speed, see figure 12. A single “beep” will confirm reception of the command.
Figure 12. Fan Speed Control
Accent Light Control
The fireplace may be equipped with accent lights. The auxiliary function controls the Accent Lights. To activate this function use the Mode Key, see figure 1, to index to the AUX icon, see figure 13.
Pressing the Up Arrow Key will turn the light on. Pressing the Down Arrow Key will turn the light off. A single “beep” will confirm the reception of the command.
Figure 13. Light Control
Continuous Pilot (CPI) Selection …………. (Optional)
In cold weather climates, the pilot burner can stay on continuously to prevent
condensation or cold air temperatures near the fireplace glass.
Note, some jurisdictions do no permit use of continuous pilot system.
Check local codes or contact your Montigo dealer.
WARNING
Do NOT use CPI with optional Power Vent.
With the system in “off” position press the Mode Key, see figure 1, to index to the CPI mode icon, see figure 14. Pressing the Up Arrow Key will activate the Continuous Pilot Ignition mode (CPI). Pressing the Down Arrow Key will return to IPI. A single “beep” will confirm the reception of the command.
NOTE:
- Requires CPI switch (not supplied).
- Set the CPI/IPI switch to CPI position (Switch closed) to enable remote CPI/IPI operation.
- Set the CPI/IPI switch to IPI position (switch open) to disable remote CPI/IPI operation. The system will now work in IPI mode only regardless of the selection on the remote control hand set.

Maintenance
Low Battery Power Detection
The life span of the batteries depends on various factors: quality of the batteries used, the number of ignitions of the appliance, the number of changes to the room thermostat set point, etc.
Remote Control
When the Remote Control batteries are low, a Battery Icon will appear on the LCD display of the Remote Control, see figure 16, before all battery power is lost. When the batteries are replaced this icon will disappear.
Figure 16. Low Battery Power Detection
Control Module
(Not applicable for Power Vented Units)
When the Control Module batteries are low, a “doublebeep” will be emitted from
the IFC when it receivers an On/Off command from the Remote Control. This is
an alert for a low battery condition of the receiver and after that no more
command will be accepted. When the batteries are replaced the “beep” will be
emitted from the receiver as soon as powered.
Troubleshooting
Below is a list of possible problems and solutions.
| Problem | Solution |
|---|
Control module beeps twice when On/Off button on remote is pressed and Red LED is On.| Replace batteries in battery pack.
(Not applicable for Power Vented Units)
Lights and Fans will not turn On.| Check main power is On.
Pilot will not spark.| Check and turn main On/Off switch to On.
Main burner will not light.| Check wiring
CPI [Continuous Pilot Ignition] / IPI [Intermittent Pilot Ignition] Jumper Cable Installation
“Why use CPI mode”?
There are several reasons why you may choose to use CPI mode. When a flue is cold it can be difficult to lightthe appliance. It can take a bit of time (particularly on tall vents) to initialize vent action. This can result in “lifting” or “ghosting” of the flames during the first two to three minutes of operation. It is also possible to encounter times when the fireplace fails to light successfully. The fireplace will then attempt to re-light a second or third time depending on prevailing temperatures or altitude. When in CPI mode the pilot also keeps the system warm. During a “cold” start, condensation will normally form on the inner glass surface of the door. This condensation will quickly dry, however, the condensation tends to run down the glass and cause some streaking. CPI mode helps to resolve this issue. If CPI mode is used during the winter months the energy it takes to run the pilot is partially recovered as heat into the building, so it does not waste as much energy as running a pilot in the off season.
A connector is supplied with this unit that can be plugged into the controller. This Jumper Cable gives the Remote Control the ability to operate the CPI / IPI switch and set the unit to operate in either condition. CPI means “Continuous Pilot Ignition” or “Standing Pilot” as it is commonly known. IPI means “Intermittent Pilot Ignition”, which only initializes the pilot when you are going to be using the appliance.
The difference between IPI and CPI:
IPI (Intermittent Pilot Ignition) Mode: is a fuel saving mode in which
the pilot is only used when the main burner is on.
CPI (Continuous Pilot Ignition) Mode: The Pilot runs continuously even
when the main burner is off.
