Pre-installation Questions and Answers

Operating Instructions

1. Be sure to read and understand all the instructions in this manual before operation of appliance.

2. Ensure all wiring is correct and properly enclosed to prevent possible shock.

3. Check for gas leaks.

4. Make sure the glass door is properly installed before operation. Never operate the appliance with the glass door removed.

About curing of the paint

Your stove or fireplace has been painted with the highest quality silicone stove paint. This paint dries quickly in 15-20 minutes when first applied at the factory. However, due to the high temperature silicone components, the paint will cure when heat is applied to the appliance as it is first used. The following information applies to the curing process to get the paint fully hard and durable.

Fire the appliance four successive times for 10 minutes each firing and a 5 minute cool down between each. Be aware during log and firebox paint curing that a white deposit may be developing on the inside of the glass doors. It is important to remove this white deposit from the glass doors using a fireplace glass cleaner.

 Babies, small children, pregnant women and pets should leave the area during the cure phase.  Ventilate well, open doors and windows.  Do not touch during curing.

Why does my fireplace or stove give off odour?

It is normal for your fireplace to give off some odor at first. This is due to the curing of the paint, adhesives, silicones and any undetected oil from the manufacturing process as well as the finishing materials used with the installations (e.g. marble, tile and the adhesives used to adhere this product to the walls can react with heat and cause odours).

It is recommended that you burn your gas fireplace or stove for a minimum of four hours at a time with the fan off (if a fan is present) after the curing of the paint has been completed. These odours can last upward to 40 hours of burn time; keep burning at a minimum of four hours per use until odours dissipate.

Noise coming from the fireplace?

Noise is caused by the expansion and contraction of metal as the appliance heats up and cools down. This is normal and is similar to the sounds produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or longevity of your fireplace. It is also normal for the fan to make some noise when it comes on. This noise can be reduced somewhat by turning down the speed of the fan with the variable speed control. Be aware, however, that this will reduce the volume of heated air circulated into the room by the fan.

Note to the Installer:

Be sure appliance is working properly and its operation (including remote control operation, if included) is fully explained to and understood by the customer.

Glass Cleaning

⚠ Cautions and Warnings

 Do not clean when the glass is hot.  The use of substitute glass will void all product warranties (see Glass Replacement in this section).  Care must be taken to avoid breakage of the glass.  Do not operate this fireplace without the glass front or with a broken glass front.  Do not strike or abuse the glass.

It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. During startup, condensation, which is normal, forms on the inside of the glass, and causes dust, lint etc. to cling to the glass surface.

Also, initial paint curing can deposit a slight film on the glass. It is therefore recommended that initially the glass be cleaned two or three times with a fireplace glass cleaner. After that, the glass should be cleaned two or three times a season depending on the circumstances.

Glass Replacement

Only Robax ceramic or coated Neoceram glass may be used for replacement for all FDV451 / MQFDV453 Models. Glass must be minimum 5mm thick.

To replace glass, clean all materials from the door frame. Scrape off old silicone all the way down to the metal. Using high-temp silicone [rated up to 500°F (260°C)] apply a continuous bead of approximately 1/8”-3/16” to all four [4] sides of the frame. With the frame resting on a flat surface, insert the new glass with a new gasket. Gently press the glass into the silicone. Be careful not to use excessive force on the glass. Let the silicone dry for approximately 15-20minutes.

Use caution when removing broken glass. Wear gloves. Removal of the Glass Front Door

1. Remove the door by unlatching the 2 top latches. Simply place 2 fingers in the grooves, and pull and lift upward slightly.

2. Once the top of the door is unlatched, pull it outward and lower it to unlatch the bottom.

3. To re-install, place the Bottom Door Ledge into the 2 Lower Latch assemblies first. Then swing the door closed to seal it against the firebox cavity. Re-latch the Upper Latch assembly to secure the door to the appliance.

Removal of the Glass Side Doors

1. Remove nuts with a 7/16” wrench.

2. Remove Door.

Spring Replacement

*Over time, the door latch spring (Part#36HB-123) may need to be replaced if tension is lost.

1. To replace latch spring, remove the 2 hex screws (located in the firebox) that secure the latch assembly in place.

2. Once the screws are removed the latches will slide out of place.

3. Remove the locknut from the latch assembly and replace the spring. Re-tighten the locknut until 2 thread turns are beyond the locknut. This is critical for proper tension. Replace latch assembly.
