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

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

NOTE: A shutoff / dante valve should be sup­plied in or near the unit (or as per local codes)
for ease of servicing this appliance.

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

The gas line is located on the right hand side of
the appliance.

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" position.

2) Loosen the "IN" and/or "OUT" pressure tap(s),

turning counterclockwise with a

1/8" wide fl at 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 specifi ed on the safety label.

6) When fi nished reading manometer, turn off the
gas valve, disconnect the hose and tighten the
screw (clockwise) with a 1/8" fl at screwdriver.

Note: Screw should be snug, but do not over
tighten.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLATION

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 glass door frame

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

5) Verify that the venting and cap are unobstructed.

6) The unit should never be turned off, and on

again without a minimum of a 60 second wait.

FIRST FIRE

The FIRST FIRE in your heater is part of the paint
curing process. To ensure the paint is properly
cured, it is recommended you burn your fi replace
for at least four (4) hours the fi rst time.

When fi rst operated, the unit will release an odour
caused by the curing of the paint and 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 may require cleaning.

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 A TTEMPT TO CLEAN THE GLASS
WHILE IT IS STILL HOT!

DO NOT BURN THE UNIT WITHOUT THE
GLASS DOOR IN PLACE.

LIGHTING

PROCEDURE

IMPORTANT
To ignite or reignite the pilot, you
must fi rst remove the glass door.

1) Press and release on ON/OFF button once

on the remote control or ON/OFF switch.

2) After approximately 4 seconds the spark
ignition system will spark for 60 seconds to
light the main burner.

3) The unit will turn on.

Note: The fi rst try for ignition will last approxi-

mately 60 seconds. If there is no fl ame ignition
(rectifi cation) the board will stop sparking for
approximately 35 seconds. After wait time
, the board will start second try for ignition
by sparking for approximately 60 seconds .
If there is still no positive ignition the board
will go into lock out.

The system will need to be reset as follows:

a) Turn the system off using ON/OFF switch

or press ON/OFF button - if using optional
remote.

b) After approximately 2 seconds turn on ON/

OFF switch or press ON/OFF button if using
optional remote.

c) Repeat step 2.

SHUTDOWN

PROCEDURE

1) Turn the wall mounted switch or remote to

the "OFF" position.

2) Press "OFF" on the remote control.

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.

Burner Tray:

The burner tray is positioned directly under the
burner 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.

Pilot Flame:

While the pilot fl ame 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.

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.

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 after the unit has cooled down
or the fi lm will bake on and become very
diffi cult to remove. Use a non-abrasive
cleaner and DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.

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.

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
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 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.

GLASS GASKET

If the glass gasket requires replacement use
a tadpole gasket for the Flush Front (Part #
936-155).

DOOR GLASS

Y our FPI insert is supplied with high temperature,
5 mm Neoceram ceramic glass that will withstand
the highest heat that your unit will produce. Do
not abuse the glass by striking the surface or
by slamming the door shut.

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, do not use substitute materials
(Regency Glass part # 940-355/P). Follow
our step-by-step instructions for replacement.

Warning: Wear gloves when removing
damaged or broken glass.

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

CLOTHING OR OTHER FLAMMABLE
MATERIAL SHOULD NOT BE PLACED
ON OR NEAR THE APPLIANCE.

6) Each time the appliance is lit, it may cause
