SELECTING LOCATION

To determine the safest and most efcient
location for your replace, consider the fol-

lowing guidelines:

1. The location must allow for proper clear­ances (see Figure 1).

• Flush installation is recommended where

living space is limited.

• Projected installation may be ideal for

a new addition to an existing nished

wall.

• Corner installation makes use of a space

that may not normally be used and pro-

vides a wider and more efcient range

for radiant heat transfer.

2. Consider a location where the replace

would not be affected by drafts, air con­ditioning ducts, windows or doors.

3. A location that avoids the cutting of joists
or roof rafters makes ventilation installa­tion easier.

SAFETY

DANGER: Carbon monoxide poisoning may lead to death!

This replace must be installed by the O.E.M. builder or by a qualied (certied or licensed)

service person. It has a sealed gas combustion chamber that uses a coaxial pipe (pipe within a
pipe and having the same center) venting system. It brings in fresh air for combustion through
the outer pipe and combustion gases are exhausted through the inner pipe. If the glass door
assembly and venting pipe are not properly seated, connected and sealed, carbon monoxide
leakage (spillage) can occur.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the u,
with headaches, dizziness or nausea. If you have these signs, the replace may not be work-

ing properly. Get fresh air at once! Have replace serviced. Some people are more affected
by carbon monoxide than others. These include pregnant women, people with heart or lung

disease or anemia, those under the inuence of alcohol and those at high altitudes.

Propane/LP & Natural Gas: Propane/LP and natural gas are odorless. An odor-making agent
is added to the gas. The odor helps you detect a gas leak. However, the odor added to the
gas can fade. Gas may be present even though no odor exists.

Make certain you read and understand all warnings. Keep this manual for reference. It is your
guide to safe and proper operation of this replace.

WARNING: Any change to this replace or it’s controls can be
dangerous. Do not modify this replace under any circumstances.
Any parts removed for servicing must be replaced prior to operat­ing replace.

WARNING: Do not use a blower insert, heat exchanger insert or
other accessory not approved for use with this replace.

WARNING: This appliance is only for use with the type of gas
indicated on the rating plate. This appliance is not convertible for
use with other gases unless a certied kit is used.

WARNING: Do not allow fans to blow directly into the replace.

VENT TERMINATION CLEARANCES

Final position of your replace depends on

location of the vent termination in relation to
clearances that must be observed as shown
in Figure 5 on page 8.

The vent system serves as the “chimney” as
well as combustion air supply (air intake).
The horizontal run must have a rise of 1/4"
(0.6 cm) for every 12" (30.48 cm) of horizon­tal run towards the termination. Maximum
horizontal run depends on vertical rise from

replace adapter collar to vent termination

(see table below).

5. For horizontal installation, an optional
siding standoff may be installed between
vent cap and exterior wall. Secure horizon­tal vent cap to standoff. Secure standoff/
vent cap assembly to wall (see Figure 7).
Do not seal termination to vent pipe. Vent
termination must be removable for service
pipe inspection.

6. For vertical installation, a vertical termi­nation is available. A vertical ue restric­tor must be installed into inner collar of

replace as shown in Figure 6, page 10.

When installing a length of pipe for vertical

termination that is over 3 ft., support pipe
every 3 ft. using metal wall straps. Vertical
to horizontal pipe must be kept at a 1 ft. to
4 ft. ratio with a maximum run of no more
than 20 ft.

If an offset is necessary in attic to avoid

obstruction, it is important to support vent
pipe every 3 ft. to avoid excessive stress
on elbows and possible separation (see
Figure 8).

INSTALLATION FOR VERTICAL
TERMINATION

Note: Vertical restrictor must be installed
in all vertical installations.

1. Determine the route your vertical venting
will take. If ceiling joists, roof rafters, or
other framing will obstruct venting system,
consider an offset (see Figure 13) to avoid
cutting load bearing members.

Note: Pay special attention to these instal-

lation instructions for required clearances
(air space) to combustibles when passing
through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures,
attic rafters, etc. Do not pack air spaces
with insulation. Also note maximum
vertical rise of venting system and any
maximum horizontal offset limitations.

2. Set replace in desired location. Drop a

plumb line down from ceiling to position

of replace exit ue. Mark center point

where vent will penetrate ceiling. Drill a
small locating hole at this point.

Drop a plumb line from inside roof to

BLOWER ACCESSORY

WARNING: If there is a duplex

electrical outlet installed in the

right side of the bottom of the
replace base area, be sure that
the electrical power to the outlet is
turned off before proceeding with
blower installation. Failure to do
this may result in serious injury.

Model BKT

This product is equipped with a BKT blower.

The blower is located against the lower rear

wall of the rebox outer wrapper with the

exhaust port directed upward. The blower is
held in position against the back wall by the
magnets incorporated onto the blower hous­ing (see Figure 33).

The thermal disc assembly is attached to

the outer rebox onthe upper left side of the
replace (see Figure 35, page 22). The ther-

modisc must be oriented as shown Figure 35,
page 22 in order to sense temperature and
properly operate.

CAUTION: Never touch the

blower wheel while in operation.

For thermal disk replacement, loosen screw
and slide bracket assembly out from under­neath screw (see Figure 35, page 24).

Blower will only run when speed control knob
is in the ON position and thermal switch

senses temperature after replace begins to

heat up. Blower speed can be adjusted by ro­tating control knob. To turn off, turn knob fully
counterclockwise until it clicks off. If blower

is ON and has been running with replace

operating, blower will continue to run for a

short time after replace has been turned off.

As thermal switch cools down, blower shuts
down automatically.

BURNER FLAME ADJUSTMENT

Burner ame adjustment (shutter opening) has been factory preset (for natural gas) to proper
air-to-gas ratio. This ratio results in an even, clean burning ame across burner (see Figure 40).

If adjustment is necessary, you can restore proper ame setting by loosening air shutter screw

and rotating air shutter until proper setting is achieved (see Figure 41). Correct shutter open­ings are: 3/16'' for natural gas and fully open for propane/lp gas.

WARNING: Improper installa-

tion, adjustment, alteration, ser-

vice or maintenance can cause

injury or property damage. Refer
to this manual for assistance.

OPERATION

OPERATION GUIDELINES

• When used for the rst time, replace may

emit a slight odor for about 16 to 24 hours.
This is normal and is due to “curing” of logs
and “burn-in” of internal paint and lubricant
used in manufacturing process.

• Keep compartments, logs, burners and

area surrounding logs clean by vacuuming
and brushing at least twice a year or as
necessary.

• Turn off gas and remote switch before

servicing appliance. Any safety screen or

guard removed for servicing the replace

must be replaced prior to operation.

• Have a qualied agency periodically inspect

vent system at the start of each heating
season for any obstruction which will hinder

its normal operation. Never obstruct ow
of combustion and ventilation air. Keep
front of replace clear of all obstacles and

materials.

CAUTION: You must keep
control areas, burners and
circulating air passageways of
replace clean. Inspect these
areas of replace before each
use. Have replace inspected
yearly by a qualied service
person. Fireplace may need
more frequent cleaning due to
excessive lint from carpeting,
bedding material, pet hair, etc.

GLASS DOOR

WARNING: Handle glass
door panel with care. Do not
strike, slam or otherwise abuse
glass. Do not operate replace
with the glass door unlatched,
removed, cracked or broken.

WARNING: Do not use

abrasive cleaners as this may
damage glass. Use a nonabra­sive household glass cleaner to
clean glass. Do not clean glass
when hot.

Glass must be cleaned periodically. During
start-up it is normal for condensation to form
on the inside of the glass causing lint, dust
and other airborne particles to cling to the
glass surface. During initial start-up a slight

lm may form on the glass due to paint curing.

www.fmiproducts.com

The glass should be cleaned several times
with a non-ammonia, nonabrasive household

cleaner and warm water after the rst two

weeks of operation. Thereafter, clean the
glass two or three times during each heating
season, depending on the usage and circum­stances present. Refer to Removing Glass
Door, page 18 of this manual when removing
glass door for cleaning.

WARNING: Only parts sup­plied by the manufacturer should
be used when replacing broken
or damaged glass door panel
(see Replacement Parts, page

32). This glass door panel is
a complete unit. No substitute
materials may be used.

CAUTION: Wear gloves and
safety glasses while handling or
removing broken glass. Do not
remove if glass is hot. Keep chil­dren and pets away from glass.

If glass has been broken, carefully remove
glass door (see Removing Glass Door, page

18). Vacuum all glass pieces with a shop vac.

CAUTION: Do not vacuum if

pieces are hot.

Use only the tempered glass door replace-

ment intended for this replace (see Replace­ment Parts, page 32 for detail on ordering).
No substitutions may be made. See Remov­ing Glass Door, page 18 for instructions for

replacing glass door.

PILOT AND BURNERS

• Remove ember material before cleaning

burners and replace when cleaning is
complete.

• Burner and controls should be cleaned with

compressed air to remove dust, dirt or lint.

• Use a vacuum cleaner or small, soft bristled

brush to remove excess dust, dirt or lint.

LOGS

• If you remove logs for cleaning, refer to

Installing Logs Lava Rock and Glowing
Embers, page 19, to properly replace logs.

• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any

carbon buildup on logs.

• Replace log(s) if broken. See Replacement
Parts on page 32.

•

Replace ember material periodically
as needed. See Replacement Parts on
page 32.

VENTING SYSTEM

Conduct annual inspection of the venting
system following these guidelines:

1. Check areas of venting system that are
exposed to the weather for corrosion (rust
spots or streaks and, in extreme cases,
holes). Have these items replaced im-

mediately by a qualied service person.

2. Remove the vent cap and shine a ash-

light into the vent. Remove any foreign
material.

3. Check for evidence of excessive con­densation. Continuous condensation can

cause corrosion of caps, pipes and ttings

and can be caused by having excessive
lateral runs, too many elbows or exterior
portions of the system being exposed to
cold weather.

4. Inspect joints to verify that no pipe section

or tting has been disturbed and loosened.

Check mechanical supports such as wall
straps for rigidity.
