3) For exterior walls, insulate the enclosure to
the same degree as the rest of the house,
apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per
local installation codes. (Do not insulate

the fireplace itself.)

4) The top of the unit must not be closer than

32" (813mm) to the ceiling.

Note: 40-1/2" (1029mm) is the minimum

height for both flex termination or
Simpson Dura-Vent venting.

Note: The unit does not have to be com-

pletely enclosed in a chase. The
clearance on top of the unit is 0" to
the standoffs so combustible
building materials can be laid di­rectly on top of the standoffs. You
must maintain clearance from the
vent to combustible materials for
flex, see Vent Clearances.

5) Use steel studs for framing where the

1-1/2" (38mm) clearance from the vent to
combustible material cannot be maintained,
e.g. front top header.

UNIT ASSEMBLY

PRIOR TO

INSTALLATION

The Top Facing Support, the Side Nailing Strips
and the 2 Top Standoffs must be correctly
positioned and attached to the top before unit
is slipped into position.

Top Standoff Assembly

The top standoffs are shipped in a flat position
and must be folded into shape and attached.

1) Remove the standoffs from the fireplace
top.

2) Take each standoff and bend into the cor­rect shape. Bend up at the bend lines until
the screw holes in the standoff and the pre­punched screw holes on the fireplace top
line up.

3) Attach the standoff securely to the top with
2 screws per standoff (on opposite cor­ners).

Top Facing Support and

Side Nailing Strips

Determine the total thickness of facing material
(e.g. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to allow the
finished surface to be flush with the front of the
unit. Total facing thickness can vary from 1/2"
(13mm) to 1-1/4" (32mm) thick.

The Top Facing Support & Side Nailing Strips
can be mounted in 3 different positions de­pending on the thickness of the facing material.

Screw Facing Material
Position Depth

A 1/2" / 13mm
B 7/8" / 22mm
C* 1-1/4" / 32mm

* For "C" screw position the top facing support
is reversed.

1) Mount Top Facing Support using the 3
supplied screws into the three pre-punched
screw holes on the top front of the unit. Use
hole positions A, B, or C depending on your
facing depth.

"C" Screw Position:

For a facing material depth of 1-1/4"
(32mm), the top facing support must be
reversed.

2) Use the same screw hole position for the
Side Nailing Strips as was used for the Top
Facing Support. Attach each side nailing
strip using 3 screws.

VENTING

INTRODUCTION

The P36D uses the "balanced flue" technology
Co Axial system. The inner liner vents products
of combustion to the outside while the outer liner
draws outside combustion air into the combus­tion chamber thereby eliminating the need to use
heated room air for combustion and losing warm
room air up the chimney.

Not e : These flue pipes must not be con-

nected to any other appliance.

The gas appliance and vent system must be
vented directly to the outside of the building, and
never be attached to a chimney serving a
separate solid fuel or gas burning appliance.
Each direct vent gas appliance must use it's
own separate vent system. Common vent sys­tems are prohibited.

INSTALLATION

HORIZONTAL

INSTALLATIONS

Install the vent system according to the
manufacturer's instructions included
with the components.

1) Set the unit in its desired location. Check to

determine if wall studs or roof rafters are in
the way when the venting system is at­tached. If this is the case, you may want to
adjust the location of the unit. Rough in the
gas preferably on the right side of the unit
and the electrical (junction block is on the left
side) on the left.

2) Direct Vent pipe and fittings are designed
with special twist-lock connections to con­nect the venting system to the appliance flue
outlet. A twist-lock appliance adaptor is an
available option that must be used in con­junction with the Simpson Dura-Vent Direct
Vent GS system.

3) Put a bead of silicone inside the outer section
of the adapter and a bead of Mill Pac on the
inner collar. Slip the adapter over the exist­ing inner and outer flue collar and fasten to
the outer collar only with the 3 supplied
screws (drilling pilot holes will make this
easier). Level the fireplace and fasten it to
the framing using nails or screws through
the nailing strips.

4) Assemble the desired combination of pipe
and elbows to the appliance adaptor and
twist-lock for a solid connection.

Note:

a) Twist-lock procedure: Four indentations,

located on the female ends of pipes and
fittings, are designed to slide straight
onto the male ends of adjacent pipes and
fittings, by orienting the four pipe inden­tations so they match and slide in to the
four entry slots on the male ends, Dia­gram 1. Push the pipe sections com­pletely together, then twist-lock one
section clockwise approximately one­quarter turn, until the two sections are
fully locked. The female locking lugs will
not be visible from the outside, on the
Black Pipe or fittings. They may be locat­ed by examining the inside of the female
ends.

Diagram 1

Note: Apply sealant "Mill-Pac" to inner

pipe and high temperature sili­cone sealant to outer pipe on eve­ry twist-lock joint.

b) Horizontal runs of vent must be sup-

ported every three feet. Wall straps are
available for this purpose.

5) Mark the wall for a 10" x 10" square hole.
The center of the square hole should line up
with the centerline of the horizontal pipe.
Cut and frame the 10 inch square hole in the
exterior wall where the vent will be termi­nated. If the wall being penetrated is con­structed of non-combustible material, i.e.
masonry block or concrete, a 7"(178mm)
dia. (7-1/2"(191mm) dia. for flex) hole is
acceptable.

Note: With
Dura-Vent,
the mini­mum height
is achieved
by installing
a 90o elbow
directly to
the rigid
pipe adaptor.

Diagram 2

Note:

a) The horizontal run of vent must be level,

or have a 1/4 inch rise for every 1 foot
of run towards the termination. Never
allow the vent to run downward. This
could cause high temperatures and may
present the possibility of a fire.

b) The location of the horizontal vent termi-

nation on an exterior wall must meet all
local and national building codes, and
must not be blocked or obstructed. For
External Vent Terminal Locations, see
diagram on page 20.

c) Snorkel Terminations:

For installations requiring a vertical rise
on the exterior of the
building, 14-inch and
36-inch tall Snorkel
Terminations are avail­able, as well as the
standard Riser
Vent. Follow the
same instal­lation pro­cedures as
used for
standard
Horizontal
Termina­tion. NEV­ER install
the snor­kel upside
down.

Diagram 3

Note: Riser Vent
is only for use
in above grade
terminations.

Diagram 3a

*Diagrams 3 & 4: As specified in CGA B149
Installation Code. Local codes or regula­tions may require different clearances.

Below Grade Installation

If the Snorkel Termination must be installed
below grade, i.e. basement application, proper
drainage must be provided to prevent water
from entering the Snorkel Termination. Refer to
Diagram 4. Do not attempt to enclose the Snor­kel within the wall, or any other type of enclo­sure.

Diagram 4

NOTE: For Snorkel terminations in ABOVE

grade installations, follow nation­al or local code requirements.

6) The arrow on the vent cap should be

pointing up. Insure that the 1-1/2" clear-

ances to combustible materials are main­tained (Diagram 4). Install the termination
cap.

FPI P36D Zero Clearance Direct Vent Gas Fireplace 31

INSTALLATION

Diagram 5

The four wood screws provided should be
replaced with appropriate fasteners for
stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of
sidings.

Note: If installing termination on a siding

covered wall, a vinyl siding stand­off or furring strips must be used
to ensure that the termination is
not recessed into the siding.

7) Before connecting the horizontal run of

vent pipe to the vent termination, slide the
Wall Thimble over the vent pipe.

8) Slide the appliance and vent assembly to­wards the wall carefully inserting the vent
pipe into the vent cap assembly. It is impor­tant that the vent pipe extends into the vent
cap sufficient distance so as to result in a
minimum pipe overlap of 1-1/4 inches. Se­cure the connection between the vent pipe
and the vent cap by attaching the two sheet
metal strips extending from the vent cap
assembly into the outer wall of the vent
pipe. Use the two sheet metal screws
provided to connect the strips to the pipe
section. See Diagram 6.

VERTICAL

TERMINATION

1) Maintain the 1-1/4" clearances

(air spaces) to combustibles
when passing through ceilings,
walls, roofs, enclosures, attic
rafter, or other nearby com­bustible surfaces. Do not pack
air spaces with insulation.
Check for the maximum vertical
rise of the venting system and
the maximum horizontal
offset limitations.

2) Set the gas appliance in
its desired location. Drop
a plumb bob down from
the ceiling to the position
of the appliance flue exit,

and mark the location where the vent will
penetrate the ceiling. Drill a small hole at his
point. Next, drop a plumb bob from the roof
to the hole previously drilled in the ceiling,
and mark the spot where the vent will
penetrate the roof. Determine if ceiling joists,
roof rafters or other framing
will obstruct the venting sys­tem. You may
wish to relocate
the appliance or
to offset, as
shown in Dia­gram 2 to avoid
cutting load
bearing mem­bers.

Diagram 1

Diagram 2

4) Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and
elbows. Ensure that all pipes and elbow
connections are in the fully twist-locked
position and sealed.

5) Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small
drilled hole placed in the roof in Step 2. The
hole should be of sufficient size to meet the
minimum requirements for clearance to com­bustibles of 1-1/2". Slip the flashing under
the shingles (shingles should overlap half
the flashing) as per Diagram 4.

Diagram 4: The upper half of the flashing is

installed under the roofing material and not

nailed down until the chimney is installed.

This allows for small adjustments.

6) Continue to assemble pipe lengths.

Note: If an offset is necessary in the attic

to avoid obstructions, it is impor­tant to support the vent pipe every
3 feet, to avoid excessive stress
on the elbows, and possible sep­aration. Wall straps are available
for this purpose (Diagram 2).

Galvanized pipe is desirable above the roof­line due to its higher corrosion resistance.
Continue to add pipe sections through the
flashing until the height of the vent cap meets
the minimum height requirements specified in
Diagram 5 or local codes. Note that for steep

Diagram 7

Note: Apply sealant "Mill-Pac" to inner

pipe and high temperature sili­cone sealant to outer pipe on eve­ry twist-lock joint.

3) A Firestop spacer must be installed in the

floor or ceiling of every level. To install the
Firestop spacer in a flat ceiling or wall, cut
a 10 inch square hole. Frame the hole as
shown in Diagram 3 and install the firestop.

roof pitches, the vertical height must be in­creased. A poor draft, or down drafting can
result from high wind conditions near big trees
or adjoining roof lines, in these cases, increas­ing the vent height may solve the problem.

7) Ensure vent is vertical and secure the base
of the flashing to the roof with roofing rails,
slide storm collar over the pipe section and
seal with a mastic.

8) Install the vertical termination cap by twist­locking it.

Note: Any closets or storage spaces,

which the vent passes through
must be enclosed.

installation more
aesthetically pleas­ing, we recom­mend framing out a
square to mount
the terminal to.

Note: If installing termination on a siding

covered wall, furring strips must
be used to ensure that the termi­nation is not recessed into the
siding.

2) Level the fireplace and fasten it to the

framing using nails or screws through the
nailing strips.

3) Assemble the vent assembly by applying
Mill Pac to the 4"(100mm) inner collar of the
termination and slipping the 4"(100mm) liner
over it at least 1-3/8" (35mm). Fasten with
the 3 screws (drilling pilot holes will make
this easier). Apply Mill Pac or high temper­ature silicone to the 6-7/8"(175mm) flex pipe
and slip it over the 6-7/8" outer collar of the
vent terminal at least 1-3/8"(35mm) and
fasten with the 3 screws.

NOTE: Horizontal sections must be sup-

ported at intervals not exceeding 3
feet (0.9 meter). (Flame picture and
performance will be affected by
sags in the liner).

4) Separate the 2 halves of the wall thimble

and securely fasten the one with the tabs
to the outside wall making sure that the tabs
are on top and bottom. Fasten the other
thimble half to the inside wall. The thimble
halves slip inside each other and can be
adjusted for 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 walls. The liners

must slip over the collars a minimum
of 1-3/8".

5) Slip the assembled liner and termination
assembly through the thimble making sure
the termination cap faces up (there are
markings on the cap that show which way
is up). This will position the termination cap
with proper down slope for draining water.
Fasten the cap to the outer wall with the 4
supplied screws.

6) Pull the centre 4"(100mm) liner and outer
6-7/8"(175mm) liner out enough to slip over
the flue collars of the fireplace. (You may
wish to cut the liner shorter to make it more
workable.) Do not bend liner more than 90o.

7) Apply Mill Pac over the fireplace inner collar
and slip the 4"(100mm) liner down over it
and attach with 3 supplied screws.

8) Do the same with the 6-7/8"(175mm) liner.

9) Apply a bead of silicone between the thim-

ble and termination and around the outer
edge of the terminal at the wall in order to
keep the water out.

IMPORTANT: Do not locate termination
hood where excessive snow or ice build­up may occur. Be sure to check vent
termination area after snow falls, and clear
to prevent accidental blockage of venting
system. When using snow blowers, make
sure snow is not directed towards vent
termination area.

1) Locate the unit in the framing, rough in the
gas (preferably on the right side of the unit)
and the electrical (Junction block is on the
left side) on the left. Locate the centerline
of the termination and mark wall according­ly. Cut a 10"(254mm) hole in the wall (inside
dimension).

Note: A 1-1/2"(38mm) clearance around

the liner must be maintained ex­cept that only a 1" (25mm) clear­ance is needed at the termination
end. We recommend framing a
10"(254mm) x 10"(254mm) (inside
dimensions) hole to give struc­tural rigidity for mounting the ter­mination.

HIGH ELEVATION

This unit is approved in Canada for altitude 0 to
4500 ft. (CAN1 2.17-M91) with the orifice
supplied.

it is always best to consult with your local
authorities and the CAN/CGA B149 installation
code.

For USA installations follow local codes and/or
the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1.

When using copper or flex connectors use only
approved fittings. Always provide a union so
that gas lines can be easily disconnected for
servicing. Flare nuts for copper lines and flex
connectors are usually considered to meet this
requirement.

Important: Always check for gas leaks
with a soap and water solution or gas leak
detector. Do not use open flame for leak
testing.

PILOT ADJUSTMENT

Periodically check the pilot flames. Cor­rect flame pattern has three strong blue
flames: 1 flowing around the thermopile,
1 around the thermocouple and 1 flowing
across the burner (it does not have to be
touching the burner).

Note: If you have an incorrect flame pat-

tern, contact your FPI dealer for
further instructions.

Incorrect flame pattern will have small,
probably yellow flames, not coming into
proper contact with the rear burner or
thermopile or thermocouple.

The manifold pressure is controlled by a reg­ulator built into the gas control, and should be
checked at the pressure test point.

Note: To properly check gas pressure,

both inlet and manifold pressures
should be checked using the
valve pressure ports on the valve.

1) Make sure the valve is in the "OFF" posi-

tion.

2) Loosen the "IN" and/or "OUT" pressure
tap(s), turning counterclockwise with a
1/8" wide flat screwdriver.

3) Attach manometer to "IN" and/or "OUT"
pressure tap(s) using a 5/16" ID hose.

4) Light the pilot and turn the valve to "ON"
position.

5) The pressure check should be carried out
with the unit burning and the setting should
be within the limits specified on the safety
label.

6) When finished reading manometer, turn
off the gas valve, disconnect the hose and
tighten the screw (clockwise) with a 1/8"
flat screwdriver. Note: Screw should

be snug, but do not over tighten.

WIRING DIAGRAM

This heater does not require a 120V A.C.
supply for operation. In case of a power failure,
the burner switch and the optional remote
control/thermostat will continue to operate.

However, a 120V A.C. power supply is needed
for the fan/blower operation.

(Do not cut the ground terminal off under
any circumstances.)

NOTE: Even if the fan is not purchased

with the unit, it is still a good idea
to bring power to the receptacle
box (provided with the unit) in case
the fan is installed at a later date.

Caution: Ensure that the wires do
not touch any hot surfaces and are
away from sharp edges.

OPERA TING INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

1) Read and understand these instructions

before operating this appliance.

2) Check to see that all wiring is correct and
enclosed to prevent possible shock.

3) Check to ensure there are no gas leaks.

4) Make sure the glass in the door frame is

properly positioned. Never operate the ap­pliance with the glass removed.

5) Verify that the venting and cap are unob­structed.

6) Ensure that the brick panels are installed.

7) Verify log placement. If the pilot cannot be

seen when lighting the unit, the logs have
been incorrectly positioned.

8) The unit should never be turned off, and on
again without a minimum of a 60 second
wait.

3) Turn gas control knob counterclockwise so
indicator points to the "PILOT" position.
Depress the gas control knob fully. De­press the igniter button several times until
the pilot lights. After approximately one
minute, release the gas control knob. The
pilot flame should continue to burn. If the
pilot does not remain lit, repeat operation
allowing a longer period before releasing
gas control knob.

4) When the pilot stays lit, turn the gas knob
further counterclockwise to the "ON" posi­tion.

5) Use the wall switch, thermostat or remote
control to turn on the unit.

6) Rotate the flame height regulator to adjust
the flame height higher or lower.

SHUTDOWN

PROCEDURE

1) Use the wall switch, thermostat or remote

control to turn off the main burner.

2) Turn the main gas control clockwise to the
"OFF" position to turn off the pilot.

3) Turn off all electric power to appliance if
service is to be performed.

FIRST FIRE

During the first few fires, a white film
may develop on the glass front as part
of the curing process. The glass should
be cleaned or the film will bake on and
become very difficult to remove. Use
a non-abrasive cleaner and NEVER clean
the glass while it is hot.

AERATION

ADJUSTMENT

The air shutter can be adjusted by moving the
adjusting wire up or down. The wire is ac­cessed through the bottom louver opening.
Open the air shutter for a blue flame or close for
a yellower flame. The burner aeration is factory
set but may need adjusting due to either the local
gas supply or altitude.

Minimum Air Shutter Opening:

3/16" Natural Gas
1/4" Propane

CAUTION: Carbon will be produced if air
shutter is closed too much.

Note: Any damage due to carboning re-

sulting from improperly setting the
aeration controls is NOT covered
under warranty.

Note: Aeration Adjustment should only

be performed by an authorized FPI
Installer at the time of installation

LIGHTING

PROCEDURE

IMPORTANT

To ignite or reignite the pilot,

you must first release the

tension springs below the door.

Only when the pilot holds, without pressure
being applied to the control knob, reapply the
tension springs to the door. The unit must
not be operated with the tension springs
unattached.

IMPORTANT Gas cock knob cannot be
turned from "PILOT" to "OFF" unless it is
partially depressed.

1) Turn burner OFF using "ON/OFF" switch.

2) Turn gas control knob so indicator points to

"OFF" position and allow 5 minutes for any
gas in the combustion chamber to escape.

The first fire in your stove is part of the paint
curing process. To ensure that the paint is
properly cured, it is recommended that you burn
your fireplace for at least four (4) hours the first
time before you use it with the fan on.

When first operated, the unit will release an
odour caused by the curing of the paint, the
burning off of any oils remaining from manufac­turing. Smoke detectors in the house may go off
at this time. Open a few windows to ventilate
the room for a couple of hours.

The glass panel may require cleaning after the
unit has cooled down. DO NOT ATTEMPT

TO CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE IT IS
HOT.

Note: When the glass is cold and the

appliance is lit, it may cause con­densation and fog the glass. This
condensation is normal and will
disappear in a few minutes as the
glass heats up.

DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCE
WITHOUT THE GLASS FRONT IN
PLACE.

Adjustment Wire: Push to close or

pull to open aeration cap.

You may shut off the pilot during prolonged non use periods to conserve fuel.

This appliance must be installed in accordance with local codes, if any; if none, follow the

National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or Natural Gas and Propane Installation

Codes, CSA B149.1. (Australia: AG601, New Zealand: NZS 5261)

COPY OF THE LIGHTING PLATE INSTRUCTIONS

All are normal operating sounds and should
not be considered as defects in your appliance.

Blower:

FPI gas appliances use high tech blowers to
push heated air farther into the room. It is not
unusual for the fan to make a "whirring" sound
when ON. This sound will increase or decrease
in volume depending on the speed setting of
your fan speed control.

Burner Tray:

The burner tray is positioned directly under the
burner tube(s) and logs and is made of a
different gauge material from the rest of the
firebox and body. Therefore, the varying thick­nesses of steel will expand and contract at
slightly different rates which can cause "tick­ing" and "cracking" sounds. You should also be
aware that as there are temperature changes
within the unit these sounds will likely re-occur.
Again, this is normal for steel fireboxes.

Blower Thermodisc:

When this thermally activated switch turns ON
it will create a small "clicking" sound. This is the
switch contacts closing and is normal.

Pilot Flame:

While the pilot flame is on it can make a very slight
"whisper" sound.

Gas Control Valve:

As the gas control valve turns ON and OFF, a
dull clicking sound may be audible, this is normal
operation of a gas regulator or valve.

Unit Body/Firebox:

Different types and thicknesses of steel will
expand and contract at different rates resulting
in some "cracking" and "ticking" sounds will be
heard throughout the cycling process.

MAINTENANCE

INSTRUCTIONS

1) Always turn off the gas valve before

cleaning. For relighting, refer to lighting
instructions. Keep the burner and control
compartment clean by brushing and vacu­uming at least once a year. When cleaning
the logs, use a soft clean paint brush as the
logs are fragile and easily damaged.

2) Clean appliance and door with a damp cloth
(never when unit is hot). Never use an
abrasive cleaner. The glass should be
cleaned with a gas fireplace glass cleaner.

The glass should be cleaned when it
starts looking cloudy.

3) The heater is finished in a heat resistant
paint and should only be refinished with
heat resistant paint. FPI uses StoveBright
Paint - Metallic Black #6309.

MAINTENANCE

4) Make a periodic check of burner for proper

position and condition. Visually check the
flame of the burner periodically, making
sure the flames are steady; not lifting or
floating. If there is a problem, call a qualified
service person.

5) The appliance and venting system must be
inspected before use, and at least annually,
by a qualified field service person, to en­sure that the flow of combustion and ven­tilation air is not obstructed.

Note: Never operate the appliance with-

out the glass properly secured in
place.

6) Do not use this appliance if any part has

been under water. Immediately call a qual­ified service technician to inspect the appli­ance and to replace nay part of the control
system and any gas control which has
been under water.

7) Verify operation after servicing.

General Vent Maintenance

Conduct an inspection of the venting system
semi-annually. Recommended areas to inspect
as follows:

1) Check the Venting System for corrosion in
areas that are exposed to the elements.
These will appear as rust spots or streaks,
and in extreme cases, holes. These com­ponents should be replaced immediately.

warranty. Clean any fingerprints off be-

fore turning the unit on.

GOLD-PLATED or

BRASS TRIM

The 24 carat gold plated or brass finish on the
trim requires little maintenance, and need only
be cleaned with a damp cloth. DO NOT use
abrasive materials or chemical cleaners, as
they may harm the finish and void the warranty.

Clean any fingerprints off before turning
the unit on. If the top louvers start to
discolour, check the door gasket seal and
replace if necessary.

LOG REPLACEMENT

The unit should never be used with broken logs.
Turn off the gas valve and allow the unit to cool
before opening door and carefully remove the
logs. (The pilot light generates enough heat to
burn someone.) If for any reason a log should
need replacement, you must use the proper
replacement log. The position of these logs must
be as shown in the diagrams under Log Instal­lation.

Note: Improper positioning of logs may

create carbon build-up and will
severely alter the unit's perform­ance which is not covered under
warranty.

DOOR GLASS

Your FPI fireplace is supplied with high temper­ature, 5 mm Neoceram ceramic glass that will
withstand the highest heat that your unit will
produce. If your glass requires cleaning, we
recommend using an approved glass cleaner
available at all authorized dealers. Do not use
abrasive materials. Do not clean the glass
when hot.

In the event that you break your glass by
impact, purchase your replacement from an
authorized FPI dealer only, and follow our
step-by-step instructions for replacement.

WARNING: Do not operate the appliance
with the glass panels removed, cracked
or broken. Replacement of the glass
panels should be done by a licensed or
qualified service person.

Caution: Wear gloves when removing
damaged or broken glass.

Flush Glass Replacement

Remove the flush door front. Remove the 4
glass clips from each corner. Slide in the new
replacement glass. Push the 4 glass clips back

onto the frame. The

glass must have

gasketing around

it.

2) Remove the Cap, and shine a flashlight

down the Vent. Remove any bird nests, or
other foreign material.

3) Check for evidences of excessive conden­sation, such as water droplets forming in
the inner liner, and subsequently dripping
out the joints, Continuous condensation
can cause corrosion of caps, pipe, and
fittings. It may be caused by having exces­sive lateral runs, too many elbows, and
exterior portions of the system being ex­posed to cold weather.

4) Inspect joints, to verify that no pipe sections
or fittings have been disturbed, and conse­quently loosened. Also check mechanical
supports such as Wall Straps, or plumbers'
tape for rigidity.

GOLD-PLATED or
BRASS LOUVERS

The 24 carat gold-plated or brass finish on the
louvers and trim requires little maintenance, and
need only be cleaned with a damp cloth. DO
NOT use abrasive materials or chemical clean­ers, as they may harm the finish and void the

936-243) and a tadpole glass gasket for the
Flush Front (Part # 936-155).

Bay Glass Replacement

1) Remove the door from the unit and place on

a soft surface to prevent scratching.

2) Remove the nuts holding the glass clips in
place and remove.

3) Replace the glass. The glass must have
