OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Before operating this appliance, proceed through the following check list.
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 door is in place. Never operate the appliance with the door glass removed.
5)Verify that all venting and the cap is unobstructed.
6)Verify log placement. If the pilot cannot be seen when lighting the unit - the logs or the embers have been incorrectly positioned.
7)The unit should never be turned off and on again without a minimum of a 60 second wait.
8)When lighting the appliance, the inside of the glass may fog up. This will burn off after a few minutes of operation.
DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCE WITH THE GLASS ASSEMBLY REMOVED.
1)Open the bottom louver assembly
2)If the control knob is in the "OFF" position proceed to Step 5.
3)Push in gas control knob slightly and turn clockwise to "OFF". Knob cannot be turned from "PILOT" to "OFF" unless knob is pushed in slightly. Do not force.
4)Wait five minutes to allow gas, that may have accumulated in the main burner compartment, to escape. If you do smell gas, follow the instructions on the front of this manual. If you don't smell gas continue on to the next step.
5)Turn the gas control counter clockwise to "PILOT".
6)Push in control knob all the way and hold in. Continually push and release the black button on spark igniter until pilot lights. Continue to hold the control knob in for approximately one minute, then release the gas control knob. The pilot flame should continue to burn. If the pilot does not remain lit, repeat operation allowing a longer period before releasing gas control knob.
7)Turn gas control knob counter clockwise to "ON".
8)Use the rocker switch to operate main burner.
9)Rotate the variable flame control to adjust the flame height higher or lower.
10)Close the bottom louver assembly.
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 first few fires, a white film may develop on the glass front as part of the curing process. The glass should be cleaned or the film will bake on and become very difficult to remove. Use a
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.
LIGHTING
PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT
To ignite or reignite the pilot, you must first release the tension springs below the door.
Only when the pilot holds, without pressure being applied to the control knob, reapply the tension springs to the door. The unit must not be operated with the tension springs unattached.
NOTE: For all propane units and units equipped with electric spark boxes, see "Copy of Lighting Plate Instructions" section for more details.
IMPORTANT: Gas on/off knob cannot be turned from "PILOT" to "OFF" unless it is partially depressed.
SHUTDOWN
PROCEDURE
1)Use the rocker switch to turn off the main burner.
2)Open the bottom louver assembly.
3)Push in the gas control knob slightly and turn clockwise to "OFF". Do not force.
4)Disconnect all electric power and gas to the appliance if service is to be performed.
FIRST FIRE
The first fire 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 fireplace for at least four (4) hours the first time you use it with the fan on. When first 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.
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 firebox and body. Therefore, the varying
thicknesses of steel will expand and contract at
