The following table provides recommended minimum “A” dimensions (taken from the top of the appliance opening to the bottom of the TV) for typical installations:

Mantel Type Dimension A (Inches)
Combustible Mantel 22.00
Non-Combustible Mantel 20.00

Additional guidelines include:

3. If TV temperatures exceed the manufacturer’s maximum allowable limits, increase the “A” dimension or the 28 inch minimum height dimension.


What is the initial break-in procedure for a new MONESSEN AVFL60NIF?

During manufacturing, components are treated with oils and bonding agents. To cure these materials, follow this procedure:

1. Run the appliance continuously on high for three to four hours.

2. Turn the appliance off and allow it to cool completely.

3. Provide maximum ventilation by opening windows and doors to allow odors and smoke to dissipate. Smoke detectors may activate during this process. Any remaining odors after this period will be slight and will disappear with continued use.


How do I light the MONESSEN AVFL60NIF using the Lighting Instructions?

1. This appliance is equipped with an intermittent pilot ignition (IPI) device which automatically lights the burner. Do not try to light it by hand.

2. Before lighting, smell around the appliance area for gas, including near the floor.

3. Wait five minutes to clear out any gas. If you smell gas, stop and follow the emergency procedures. If you do not smell gas, proceed to the next step.

4. To light the burner, turn the wall switch to ON, press the ON or FLAME button on the remote, or set the thermostat to the desired setting.

5. If the appliance does not light after three tries, call your service technician or gas supplier.


How do I operate the MONESSEN AVFL60NIF using battery power during a power outage?

In the event of an emergency power outage, you can use the factory-installed battery backup:

1. Access the control cavity by lifting the barrier screen off and removing any logs, stone, or crushed glass media.

2. Remove the two screws securing the burner assembly, lift the burner, and place the engine supports against the lower front space at the bottom of the face.

3. Locate the battery tray and insert four AA cell batteries, ensuring correct polarity.

4. Turn the appliance on using the wall switch or remote (note: remote functionality, lights, and auxiliary functions may be limited during battery operation).

5. To preserve battery life, do not use the HI/LO flame or THERMOSTAT options.

6. Once power is restored, remove the batteries from the tray to return to normal AC operation.


What are the functions of the Electronic Control Module (IFT2-ECM) selector switch on the MONESSEN AVFL60NIF?

The IFT2-ECM has a three-position selector switch:

OFF Position: The appliance will not respond to any commands from remotes or the mobile app. The unit should be in this position during installation, service, or to reset the system after a lock-out. If switched to OFF while operating, the system will shut down.

ON Position: The appliance will ignite and run continuously at the HIGH flame setting. No adjustment in flame height is possible. The system will automatically shut down the fireplace after 9 hours of continuous operation in this position.

REMOTE Position: This allows operation from the remote control or mobile app. The switch must be in this position to pair the module with a remote. The system will automatically shut down after 9 hours of continuous operation without a command.


How can I manually shut off the MONESSEN AVFL60NIF if the remote malfunctions?

If the remote fails and will not turn off the appliance, use one of the following methods:

1. Turn off the house circuit breaker assigned to the appliance.

2. Unplug the appliance from its electrical source (if accessible).

3. Turn the reset switch located on the front face of the unit to the OFF position.


What maintenance tasks should a homeowner perform on the MONESSEN AVFL60NIF?

Homeowners should perform the following tasks annually or seasonally:

Surrounds (Annually): Assess the condition of the screen and replace it if necessary. Inspect for scratches or dents and vacuum/dust all surfaces.

Remote Control (Seasonally): Verify operation, replace batteries as needed, and keep the remote out of reach of children. If the appliance is not used for an extended period, remove the batteries.


Why is my MONESSEN AVFL60NIF producing a metallic noise?

Metallic noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down. This is similar to sounds produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise is normal and does not affect the operation or longevity of the appliance; no action is necessary.


What do the IFT2-ECM LED error codes mean on the MONESSEN AVFL60NIF?

The status indicator LED on the control module will blink red and green to indicate specific errors:
