IPI and CPI Modes
Intermittent Pilot and Continuous (Standing) Pilot Features
This gas fireplace is equipped with an electronic ignition system that first lights a pilot then uses the pilot to
ignite the main burners. The pilot can be set in the CPI (Continuous Pilot Ignition) mode to allow the pilot to
remain on indefinitely by setting the remote control to CPI mode. If the remote control is set to the IPI
(Intermittent Pilot Ignition) mode, the pilot will only light and remain ON while the main fireplace burners are
operating.
IPI Mode: This mode turns the pilot off when the fireplace is not functioning and only lights the pilot
automatically when a call for heat is made by the remote control.
CPI Mode: If set to CPI mode, the pilot will ignite and remain on at all times.
Setting to IPI or CPI mode
With the remote control off, press the MODE button. You will see either “CPI”
or “IPI” displayed on the screen. Press the UP arrow button to set “CPI” mode
and press the down arrow button to set “IPI” mode. Once set to the desired
setting, press On/Off button to activate the fireplace.
Note: The snowflake icon will be visible on the display at all times when in CPI
mode.
Recommended: Mendota recommends keeping the fireplace in CPI mode. While not mandatory, this will
keep the fireplace chimney heated for proper updraft during burner ignition, and it will also eliminate
excessive condensation of exhaust vapors on the door glass. Leaving the fireplace in CPI mode will keep the
fireplace body warm and eliminate cold drafts and heat loss to the cold air that is trapped inside the firebox.
