Morning. I have a newly installed Mendota M47 linear propane fireplace. The FP has been installer for about 2 months. It is currently in CPI mode (continuous pilot light). Yesterday I noticed the pilot light was out but didn't think anything of it. I hit the power button to turn the FP on and nothing happened so I shut the power off. After about 3 seconds I heard a click and the pilot light came on so I turned the FP on. I thought the pilot light being out was a fluke.

Unfortunately, the same sequence happened this morning so obviously the CPI mode isn't working. I checked the manual and did a google search but this problem is not addressed in either location.

Thanks in advance, Kimrunning
 
Turn the pilot 2 IPI, then turn it back to CPI, from the remote.
With the remote, press the bottom button on your remote. Toggle the up and down arrows, to select CPI or IPI.
