INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

Consult local building codes before beginning

installation. Only a qualied service person

should install venting system. The installer must follow these safety rules:

• Wear gloves and safety glasses for

protection

• Use extreme caution when using ladders

or when on roof tops

• Be aware of electrical wiring locations in

walls and ceilings

The following actions will void the warranty

on your venting system:

• Installation of any damaged venting com-

ponent

• Unauthorized modication of the venting

system

• Installation of any component part not

manufactured or approved by FMI PRODUCTS, LLC

• Installation other than as instructed by

these instructions

Your FMI PRODUCTS, LLC stove with B-vent burner system is approved for use with any listed gas vent. A listed gas vent is a factory made and listed system designed, and installed exclusively for removing products of combustion, excess air, and dilution air resulting from burning fuel gas. Metal vents, the most common type of vent, employ double wall construction enclosing an insulating air

space. This air space both helps keep ue

gases warm and reduce heat transferred to nearby combustibles. This appliance is

equipped with a safety control system designed to protect against improper venting of combustion products.

It is very important that the venting system maintain its balance between the combustion

air intake and the ue gas exhaust. Certain limitations apply to vent congurations and

must be strictly followed.

WARNING: This gas stove with burner system and vent assembly must be vented directly to the outside. The venting system must NEVER be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance.

TYPE B-VENT INSTALLATION (Listed B-0 or Greater)

Before beginning installation be sure that the overall height and gas vent size conform to building code requirements. Gas vents extending through pitched roofs can extend a minimum height of at least 600 mm (2') higher than any obstruction within 3m (10'). Gas vents

extending through at roofs are required to

extend at least 600 mm (2') above the roof and at least 600 mm (2') higher than any portion

of the building or adjoining building within 3m

(10') of the gas vent.

• In absence of local codes, follow Section

7.0 of the current National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 and the Natural Gas Installation Code - vent sizings for

Category I systems using double wall B-1 vent pipe.

• Where the gas vent extends through accessible spaces, it should be enclosed to avoid personal contact and damage. Enclosure

walls should have a re rating equal to or greater than the oors through which the

gas vent passes except in single or twofamily dwellings.

• Situate the gas vent in the structure so that it can be installed without cutting joists, sills, plates, or major load bearing partitions or

members. It is also important to locate the base of the gas vent as near as possible to the heating appliance.

NOTICE: Treatment of restops

and construction of the chase

may vary from building type to building type. These instructions are not substitutes for the requirements of local building codes. You must follow all local building codes.

Note: When installing in a chase, you should insulate the chase as you would the outside walls of your home. This is especially important in cold climates. Minimum clearance between vent pipes and combustible materials such as insulation is 1".

CHECKING VENT CAPACITY

Complete all gas piping, electrical, and vent

connections. After adjusting the burner system

and lighting the main burners, allow a couple of

minutes for warm-up. Hold a lighted match just

under the rim of the draft hood relief opening.

Proper venting will draw the ame toward or

into the draft hood. Improper venting, indicated by escape or spillage of burned gas, will cause match to icker or go out. Smoke from a cigarette will also be pulled into the draft hood if the vent is drawing properly.

Your FMI PRODUCTS, LLC B-vent burner system has been tested and approved for operation at altitudes in the USA from 0-2000 feet.

When installing this burner system at an elevation above 2000 feet (in the USA), you may need to decrease the input rating by changing

the existing burner orice to a smaller size.

Reduce input 4% for each 1000 feet above sea level. Check with your local gas company

for proper orice size identication and proper orice for your location.

For assistance with any high altitude installation contact FMI PRODUCTS, LLC’s Technical Service Department at 1-866-328-4537.

TROUBLESHOOTING

VENTING PROBLEMS

Most venting problems are caused by incorrect vent sizing, improper installation, or inadequate air supply. A preliminary check

for a eld problem might include:

• Checking the vent sizing according to manufacturer’s specications, appliance input, and venting conguration

• Examining the entire venting system for faults such as disconnected joints for dam-

aged vent sections

• Making sure vent and air openings are not

obstructed

If these procedures do not reveal the source of the problem, troubleshooting may include attention to common venting problems.

FLUE GAS SPILLAGE

Spillage occurs when ue gases cannot exit

the vent system and back up into the dwelling. A primary symptom of appliances equipped

with a Vent Safety Shutoff System (ue spill

switch) is unexplained appliance shutoffs.

Other symptoms of ue gas spillage at the

draft hood include condensation on walls and windows and/or noticeable odors. Spillage may also result in the release of carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, highly toxic gas. A simple spillage test can be conducted if spillage is suspected. See Checking Gas Connection, page 15.

www.fmiproducts.com

CAUSES OF SPILLAGE AND CORRECTIVE ACTION

Incorrect Vent Sizing

If the vent is too small or too short, spillage may occur. If the vent is too large, excessive

dilution air may cool ue gases and reduce

draft, causing spillage. The vent cap size should also be checked. Check manufacturer’s instructions, appliance input rating, and appropriate sizing tables.

Venting Condition

Loose joints can affect draft and cause spillage. “Mashed” vent sections and damaged

vent caps can restrict ow and cause spillage.

Examine and replace as needed.

Obstructions

Small animals or birds may get into and block the vent or draft hood outlet. Dust, lint, and

foreign objects may obstruct air inlets. Remove

obstructions and clean openings.

Lateral Run

Lengthy horizontal or non-vertical runs

cause resistance to ow and may reduce

draft enough to cause spillage. The pitch of

lateral runs can also be a problem; lateral runs

should be pitched 1/4" rise per foot of horizontal run from the appliance to the vent.

Elbows

Too many elbows cause excessive restriction

of ow and may result in spillage. Usually,

two 90º turns can be tolerated in a properly sized venting system. More than two may cause problems and necessitate changing the system.

Negative Pressure in the Dwelling

An extremely tight house may not supply adequate combustion and venting air. Use of mechanical exhaust such as a dryer vent or range vent may worsen the problem. An air exchange system must be installed in the dwelling to correct this problem.

Flue Gas Cooling

Venting exposed to extremely cold temperatures or venting of single wall construction

loses heat needed to maintain draft; massive

masonry chimneys absorb needed heat. If the

ue gases cool excessively, draft is reduced

and spillage may result. Use proper materials, insulate and protect properly, reline when necessary.

112127-01E12

TROUBLESHOOTING VENTING PROBLEMS

Continued

Down Drafts

In certain wind conditions and in certain rela-

tionships with nearby structures and objects,

high pressure conditions may affect draft negatively. Relocate the vent cap, raise its height, or use an approved high wind cap.

INSTALLATION

NOTICE: This burner system is intended for use as supplemental heat. Use this burner system along with your primary heating system. Do not install this stove and burner system as your primary heat source. If you have a central heating system, you may run system’s circulating blower while using heater. This will help circulate the heat throughout the house. In the event of a power outage, you can use this burner system as your primary heat source.

CHECK GAS TYPE

Use proper gas type for the burner system unit

you are installing. If you have conicting gas

types, do not install burner system. See dealer where you purchased the stove and burner system for proper burner system according to your gas type. Conversion kits are also available for these models, see Accessories on page 29.

IMPORTANT: If installing gas conversion kit, do so at this time. Be sure to follow all installation instructions included with conversion kit.

INSTALLING GAS PIPING TO STOVE LOCATION

WARNING: A qualied installer or service person must connect burner system to gas supply. Follow all local codes.

CAUTION: For propane/LP units, never connect burner system directly to the propane/ LP supply. This burner system requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator between the burner system and propane/LP supply.

Installation Items Needed

Before installing stove and burner system, make sure you have the items listed below.

• external regulator (supplied by installer)

• piping (check local codes)

• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)

• equipment shutoff valve *

• test gauge connection *

• sediment trap

• tee joint

• pipe wrench

• approved exible gas line with gas con-

nector (if allowed by local codes) (not provided)

* An equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the equipment shutoff valve from your dealer.

For propane/LP connections only, the installer must supply an external regulator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11" and 14" of water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, heater regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 14, page 14. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

112127-01E 13

INSTALLATION

Continued

CAUTION: Use only new,

black iron or steel pipe. Internally-tinned copper tubing may be used in certain areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of 1/2" diameter or greater to allow proper gas volume to burner system. If pipe is too small, undue loss of volume will occur.

Installation must include an equipment shutoff valve, union, and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from burner system (see Figure 15).

Check your building codes for any special requirements for locating equipment shutoff valve to stoves.

Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT

threads. This will prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result in clogged burner system valves.

WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.

INSPECTING BURNERS

Check pilot ame pattern and burner ame

patterns often.

PILOT ASSEMBLY

The pilot assembly is factory preset for the

proper ame height. Alterations may have

occurred during shipping and handling. Call

a qualied service person to readjust the pilot

if necessary. The height of the thermopile must be 3/8" to

1/2" above the pilot ame as shown in Figure

33. The ame from the pilot burner must ex-

tend beyond the thermopile. If your pilot assembly does not meet these

requirements:

• turn burner system off (see To Turn Off Gas

to Appliance, page 21)

• see Troubleshooting, page 24

Thermopile

Piezo Ignitor

3/8" to 1/2"

Pilot Burner

BURNER FLAME PATTERN

Burner ames will be steady; not lifting or oating. Flame patterns will be different from unit to unit and will vary depending on installation type and weather conditions.

If the vent conguration is installed incorrectly, the ames will lift or “ghost”. This can be dangerous. Inspect the ames after installation to

ensure proper installation and performance.

Figure 32 shows a typical ame pattern. If burner ame pattern differs from that de-

scribed:

• turn burner system off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 21)

• see Troubleshooting, page 24.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Turn off burner system and let cool before cleaning.

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

www.fmiproducts.com

GLASS DOOR

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

WARNING: Do not use abra-

sive cleaners as this may dam-

age glass. Use a non-abrasive household glass cleaner to clean glass. Do not clean glass when hot.

112127-01E22

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Continued

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.

The glass should be cleaned several times with a non-ammonia, non-abrasive 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/Replac- ing Glass Door on page 17 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

29). 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/Replacing Glass Door, page 17). Vacuum all glass pieces with a shop vac.

Use only the ceramic glass door replacement intended for this burner system (see Replacement Parts, page 29 for details on ordering). No substitutions may be made. See Removing/Replacing Glass Door, page 17 for instructions for replacing glass door.

WARNING: Do not operate burner system with the glass door removed, cracked, or broken.

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 18, to properly replace logs.

• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any

carbon build-up on logs.

• Replace log(s) if broken. See Replacement Parts on page 29.

• Replace ember material periodically

as needed. See Replacement Parts on page 29.

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 con-

densation. Continuous condensation can cause corrosion of caps, pipes, and fittings 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 loos-

ened. Check mechanical supports such as wall straps for rigidity.
