INSTRUCTIONS

1) Always turn the gas valve to the off position

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 fi nishes on

louvers and doors 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

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 qualifi ed 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 fl ames. Correct

flame pattern has three strong blue fl ames: 1

flowing around the thermopile and 1 around the thermocouple, and 1 fl owing across the front of the burner.

Note: If you have an incorrect flame pattern, contact your FPI dealer for further instructions.

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,suchaswaterdropletsforming 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.

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.

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.

5) Keep the area near the appliance clear and

free from combustible materials, gasoline

and other fl ammable vapours and liquids.

CLOTHING OR OTHER FLAMMABLE MATERIAL SHOULD 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.
