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.

2)Clean (never when unit is hot) appliance, door and louvers with a damp cloth. Never use an abrasive cleaner. The optional finishes on louvers and doors 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 the 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 and cleaned from the burner tray.

5)Keep the area near the appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapours and liquids.

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 front of the burner.

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

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.
