CPI vs IPI:
Continuous Pilot on Demand Ignition (CPI): In this mode the
pilot runs continuously even when the main burner is off. The
Continuous Pilot on Demand Ignition operates on a seven day
cycle. If the main burner is not turned on for seven continuous
days, the pilot will turn itself off. When the main burner is lit
again the cycle repeats. The pilot will remain lit for seven days,
even after the main burner is turned off. If the main burner is lit
during a seven day timing cycle, the seven day timer will reset.
Intermittent Pilot Ignition (IPI): A fuel saving mode in which the
pilot is only used when the main burner is on. This appliance is
shipped in IPI mode. IPI mode is often the preferred method,
however, there are some situations where it may be preferable
to switch the fireplace into CPI mode. For example, in colder
climates the glass door or the front of the fireplace could become
very cold to the touch. Dynamic Start Advantage will solve most
problems experienced by older IPI operated fireplaces.
