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 louvers with a damp cloth. Never use an abrasive cleaner. The gold louvers (and optional gold door) may be scratched if abrasives are used to clean them.

The heater is finished in a heat resistant paint and should only be refinished 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 flame of the burner periodically, making sure the flames are steady; not lifting or floating. If there is a problem, call a qualified service person.

4)The appliance and venting system must be inspected before use, and at least annually, by a qualified field service person, to ensure that the flow 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 flammable 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: ANYSAFETYSCREEN OR GUARD REMOVED FOR SERVICING AN APPLIANCE MUST BE REPLACED PRIOR TO OPERATING THE APPLIANCE.

C L O T H I N G O R O T H E R FLAMMABLEMATERIALSHOULD 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 qualified 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 flames. Correct flame pattern has three strong blue flames: 1 flowing around the thermopile and 1 around the thermocouple, and 1 flowing across the rear of the burner (it does not have to be touching the burner).

Note: Ifyouhaveanincorrectflamepattern, 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 flashlight 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 fittings. 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 fittings 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 glass gasket (Part # 936-265) for the Bay Front and a tadpole gasket for the Flush Front (Part # 936-155).

STEEL OR GOLD TRIM

The steel or 24 carat gold plated finish 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 finish and void the warranty.
