4. Operating Instructions

Once installed and programmed, the Proflame 2 IFC module allows for convenient control of your hearth appliance. Operation is primarily managed through your paired remote transmitter.

4.1. Ignition Modes (IPI/CPI)

The module supports two main ignition modes:

• IPI (Intermittent Pilot Ignition): The pilot flame ignites only when the main burner is called to operate, conserving fuel.
• CPI (Continuous Pilot Ignition): The pilot flame remains lit continuously, providing instant ignition of the main burner and a constant heat source. This mode is often preferred in colder climates to prevent downdrafts and maintain a warm flue.

Refer to your remote transmitter's manual for instructions on how to switch between IPI and CPI modes, or to adjust other settings.
