FIRST FIRE

The fi rst fi re in your insert 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 insert 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 crystals 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

22 U32S-5 FPI Direct Vent Gas Insert

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

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 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 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.

MAINTENANCE

INSTRUCTIONS

1) Always turn the gas valve to off 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 faceplate with a damp cloth. Never
use an abrasive cleaner. The fi nishes on the
door frame and faceplate 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 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 from the burner tray
and cleaned. Replace the embers but do
not block the pilot.

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.

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
