 2.0 controls have four (4) 
positions:
  OFF  -  All gas to the gas logs is shut off at the   
  valve.
  IGN  -  Valve position to light/maintain a standing 
  pilot.

PILOT
The gas log heater is fi tted with a specially designed safety 
pilot light (ODS assembly) which senses the amount of 
oxygen available in the room and shuts the gas log heater 
off if the oxygen level begins to drop below a satisfactory 
level. The pilot can only be re-lit when adequate fresh air 
is available.
THERMAL GENERATOR
The millivolt gas log pilot is fi tted with a millivolt generator 
to provide power for remote activation.

COLD CLIMATE OPTION (IPI Models Only)
NOTE: If you live in a cold climate, seal all cracks around 
your appliance and wherever cold air could enter the room, 
with noncombustible material. It is especially important to 
insulate the outside chase cavity between the studs and 
under the fl oor on which the appliance rests, if the fl oor is 
above ground level.
Your fi replace is equipped with an intermittent pilot ignition 
(IPI) control. An IPI control with a standing pilot option 
provides the dual benefi t of an economical and environ-
mentally responsible product and one which lights easily 
even in the coldest climates. When in intermittent pilot
