The appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shut-off valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig. (3.45
kPa). Disconnect piping from valve at pressures
over 1/2 psig.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 cooled to below a
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"

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1) Push in gas control knob slightly and turn to “PILOT” position.

2) Push in control knob all the way and hold in untilthe pilot lights
up. Continue to hold the control knob in for about 20 seconds
after the pilot is lit. Release knob.

3) Push in gas control knob slightly and turn to "ON" position.

4) Turn ON the flame switch.

2) Wait fi ve (5) minutes to clear out any gas. If you then smell gas
STOP! follow “B” in the safety information above on this label. If
you don’t smell gas, go to the next step.

3) Turn knob on gas control counterclockwise to “PILOT”.

4) Push in control knob all the way and hold in. Immediately push
black button on spark igniter until pilot lights. Continue to hold the
control knob in for about 1/2 minute after the pilot is lit. Release
knob and it will pop back up. Pilot should remain lit. If it goes out,
repeat steps 3) and 4).
If

knob does not pop up when released, stop and immediately call

your service technician or gas supplier.

If the pilot will not stay lit after several tries, turn the gas control

knob to “OFF” and call your service technician or gas supplier.

5) Turn gas control knob counterclockwise to “ON”.

6) Use rocker switch to operate main burner.

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.

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.

GOLD-PLATED TRIM

The 24 carat gold plated fi nish 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 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.

DOOR GLASS

Your FPI insert 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 appliance
with glass panels removed, cracked
or broken. Replacement of the glass
should be done by a licensed or
qualifi ed service person.

Caution: Wear gloves when removing
damaged or broken glass.

Flush Glass Replacement

Remove the fl ush door front (as per instructions
in section "Standard Flush Doo"). Remove the
4 glass clips from each corner. Slide in the new
replacement glass. Push the 4 glass clips back
onto the frame.

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
glass gasket (Part # 936-265) for the Bay Front
and a tadpole gasket for the Flush Front (Part
# 936-155).

MAINTENANCE

Bay Glass Removal

1) Remove the door from the unit and place

on a soft surface to prevent scratching.
