COLD WEATHER = STANDING PILOT

This is just a reminder that during these cold winter months we recommend running our gas appliances in standing pilot, or "continuous pilot", mode.

What are the benefits of continuous pilot mode in the heart of winter?

• Continuous draft is established for smooth startup
• Glass remains warm; this eliminates cold air transfer into the home
• Reduced glass condensation = reduced glass cleaning = reduced maintenance

All of our Deluxe Premium Gas Fireplaces and Inserts feature the patented GreenSmart® System. This proprietary system is the most innovative collection of components, controls and technology that when combined provides an elegant, greener and smarter way to heat your home.

• Two Thermostat Modes
• Flame Adjustment (6 levels)

Thermostat Setting
Fireplace or insert turns ON or OFF to maintain your desired home/room temperature.

Manual Setting
ON/OFF, Fire and Fan stay where you manually set it.

Smart Thermostat Setting
“Smart Thermostat Mode” automatically adjusts the flame height based on the temperature setting, so the flame will modulate up/down as opposed to shutting OFF/ON like normal thermostats. This setting conserves fuel and maximizes the fireplace or inserts heating ability while extending the viewing pleasure of the fire.

 

Flame Adjustment
Adjust the height/heat of the flame. 6 levels of flame heights to choose from.

 

Convection Fans
Circulate room air around the firebox and deliver heated air into your home. 6 speeds to choose from.

 

Comfort Control™
Comfort Control turns off the rear burner while leaving the front burner on for an attractive flame when heat output is not the priority. This feature offers a turndown ratio of up to 75 percent and offers a more efficient way to heat your home by only burning the correct amount of fuel to keep a constant room temperature.

(This feature is not available on the 4237 Gas Fireplace)

 

 

Choice of Pilot Modes
Easily Switch Between Pilot Modes

GreenSmart Mode:
Use in summer or milder heating days to reduce gas consumption from the Pilot.

CPI – Continuous Pilot Mode:
Keeps the Pilot on at all times. This warms the vent system to maintain a strong draft in your chimney and reduce moisture condensation on the glass. Used in Fall/Winter or in cold climate areas. The GreenSmart® system includes a battery back-up, ensuring proper ignition even during power outages.

 

Accent Lights
Accent Lights are a standard feature in all Deluxe fireplaces and inserts. This feature adds a warm glow to both the logs and fireplace interior, and can be used when the fire is on or off. Perfect as a nightlight or soft indirect light for the room, the Accent Lights allow for visual enhancement of your fireplace or insert 365 days a year. 6 levels to choose from.
