FINAL CHECK
Before leaving this unit with the customer, the
installer must ensure that the appliance is fi ring
correctly. This includes:
1) Clocking the appliance to ensure the cor-
rect fi ring rate (rate noted on label) at 15
minutes.
2) If required, adjusting the primary air to ensure
that the fl ame does not carbon. First allow
the unit to burn for 15 min. to stabilize.
3) Check for proper draft.
CAUTION
Any alteration to the product that
causes sooting or carboning that
results in damage to the exterior
facia is not the responsibility of
the manufacturer.
FIRST FIRE
The fi rst fi re 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 fi replace for at least four (4) hours
the fi rst time you use it with the fan on. When
fi rst 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.
DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCE
WITHOUT THE GLASS FRONT IN
PLACE.
During the fi rst few fi res, a white fi lm
may develop on the glass front as part
of the curing process. The glass should
be cleaned or the fi lm will bake on and
become very diffi cult to remove. Use a
non-abrasive cleaner and NEVER clean
the glass while it is hot.
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 unob-
structed.
6) Ensure that the brick panels, if used, 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.
LIGHTING
PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT
Prior to igniting or reigniting the
pilot, remove the glass door.
Only when the pilot holds, without pressure
being applied to the control knob, should you
reinstall the glass door. The unit must not be
operated with the glass door removed.
IMPORTANT: Gas cock knob cannot be
turned from "PILOT" to "OFF" unless it is
partially depressed.
2) Turn gas control knob so indicator points
to "OFF" position and allow 5 minutes for
any gas in the combustion chamber to
escape.
3) Turn gas control knob counterclockwise
so indicator points to the "PILOT" position.
Depress the gas control knob fully. Depress
the ignitor button several times until the
pilot lights. After approximately one minute,
release the gas control knob. The pilot fl ame
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) Reinstall the glass door (refer to page 14).
6) Use the switch, thermostat or remote control
to turn on the unit.
7) Rotate the fl ame height regulator to adjust
the fl ame height higher or lower.
SHUTDOWN
PROCEDURE
1) Use the 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.
Note: When the glass is cold and the appli-
ance 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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
COPY OF LIGHTING INSTRUCTION PLATE
AUTOMATIC
CONVECTION
FAN OPERATION
The fan operates automatically. Turn the knob on
the side of the faceplate to adjust to the desired
speed. The fan will turn on as the stove comes
up to operating temperature. After the unit has
been turned off and the unit has been cooled
to below useful heat output range, the fan will
shut off automatically.
NORMAL OPERATING
SOUNDS OF
GAS APPLIANCES
It is possible that you will hear some sounds
from your gas appliance. This is perfectly normal
due to the fact that there are various gauges
and types of steel used within your appliance.
Listed below are some examples. 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 fi rebox
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 fi reboxes.
Blower Thermodisc:
When thermally activated switch turns ON, it
will create a small "clicking" sound. This is the
contact switch closing.
Pilot Flame:
While the pilot fl ame is on it will make a slight
"whisper" sound.
Gas Control Valve:
As the gas control valve turns ON and OFF, a
dull clicking sound may be heard. This is normal
operation of a gas regulator or valve.
Unit Body and Firebox:
Different types and thicknesses of steel will expand and contract at different rates resulting in
some "cracking" and "ticking" sounds which will
be heard throughout the cycling process.

MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Always turn the gas valve to the off posi-
tion 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 clean soft
paint brush as the logs are fragile and easily
damaged.
2) Clean (never when unit is hot) appliance,
door and louvers with a damp cloth. Never
use an abrasive cleaner. The optional fi nishes on louvers and doors may be scratched
if abrasives are used to clean them. The
heater is fi nished in a heat resistant paint
and should only be refi nished with heat
resistant paint (not with wall paint). FPI uses
StoveBrite Paint - Metallic Black #6309.
3) Make a periodic check of the burner for
proper position and condition. Visually
check the fl ame of the burner periodically,
making sure the fl ames are steady: not
lifting or fl oating. If there is a problem, call
a qualifi ed service person.
4) The appliance and venting system must be
inspected before use, and at least annually,
by a qualifi ed fi eld service person, to ensure
that the fl ow of combustion and ventilation
air is not obstructed.
During the annual service call, the burners
should be removed and cleaned from the
burner tray.
5) Keep the area near the appliance clear and
free from combustible materials, gasoline
and other fl ammable vapours and liquids.
WARNING: CHILDREN AND
ADULTS SHOULD BE ALERTED
TO THE HAZARDS OF HIGH
SURFACE TEMPERATURE AND
SHOULD STAY AWAY TO AVOID
BURNS OR CLOTHING IGNITION.
YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD
BE CAREFULLY SUPERVISED
WHEN THEY ARE IN THE SAME
ROOM AS THE APPLIANCE.
CAUTION: ANY SAFETY SCREEN
OR GUARD REMOVED FOR
SERVICING AN APPLIANCE
MUST BE REPLACED PRIOR TO
OPERATING THE APPLIANCE.
CLOTHING OR OTHER FLAMMABLE MATERIAL SHOULD NOT
BE PLACED ON OR NEAR THE
APPLIANCE.
6) Each time the appliance is lit, it may cause
condensation and fog the glass. This
condensation and fog is normal and will
disappear in a few minutes as the glass
heats up.
Never operate the appliance without the
glass properly secured in place or with
the door open.
7) Do not use this appliance if any part has been
under water. Immediately call a qualifi ed
service technician to inspect the appliance
and to replace nay part of the control system
and any gas control which has been under
water.
8) Periodically check the pilot fl ames. Correct
fl ame pattern has three strong blue fl ames: 1
fl owing around the thermopile and 1 around
the thermocouple, and 1 fl owing across the
front of the burner.
Note: If you have an incorrect fl ame pattern,
contact your FPI dealer for further
instructions.

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.
2) Remove the Termination Cap, and shine a
fl ashlight down the Vent. Remove any bird
nests, or other foreign material.
3) Check for evidences of excessive condensa-
tion, such as water droplets forming in the
inner liner, and subsequently dripping out the
joints. Continuous condensation can cause
corrosion of caps, pipe, and fi ttings. 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 fi ttings have been disturbed, and consequently loosened. Also check mechanical
supports such as Wall Straps, or plumbers'
tape for rigidity.
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 to 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 diagram under Log
Installation.
NOTE: Improper positioning of logs may create
carbon build-up and will alter the unit’s performance which is not covered under warranty.
GLASS GASKET
If the glass gasket requires replacement use
a tadpole gasket for the Flush Front (Part #
936-155).
STEEL OR GOLD TRIM
The steel or 24 carat gold plated fi nish on the
louvers 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 fi nish and void the warranty.
Clean any fi ngerprints off before turning the
unit on. If the top louvers start to discolour,
check the door gasket seal and replace if
necessary.
20 E33 FPI Direct Vent Gas Insert
