INSTALLATION
Before installing vent system ensure that the damper plate is open and secure to prevent the damper plate from falling down and crush- ing the liner.
Themanifoldpressureiscontrolledbyaregulator built into the gas control, and should be checked at the pressure test point. The pressure check shouldbecarriedoutwiththeunitburningandthe setting should be within the limits specifi ed.
GAS INSERT AERATION
SYSTEM
The aeration adjustment rod is attached to the air shutter which is located just above the orifi ce bracket. The rod is used to adjust the aeration on the main burner without having to take the appliance apart.

with the screw hole in the top of the fi rebox. The screw is secured through the inside top of the fi rebox into the bottom of the spill tube. (If screw holes do not line up then draft hood is not positioned correctly.)

NOTE: final gas connection should be after unit is in place to avoid damage to line when pushing the unit into position.
VENTING
THE APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE CONNECTED TOACHIMNEYFLUE SERVING A SEPARATE SOLID FUEL BURNING APPLIANCE.
This appliance is designed to attach to a 4" diam- eter type
flue height of 12 feet is recommended.
TheFPI Insert incorporates its own internal draft hood, so no additional external draft hood is required.
Periodically check that the vent is unrestricted and an adequate draft is present when the unit is in operation. (See page 8 for spillage test.)
WARNING: Operation of this ap- pliance when not connected to a properly installed and maintained venting system or tampering with the blocked vent shutoff system can result in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and possible death.
Combustion and Ventilation Air
WARNING: This appliance needs fresh air for safe operation and must be installed with provisions for ad- equate combustion and ventilation air available to the room in which it is to be operating.
Follow CAN/CGA B149 (in Canada) or ANSI Z223.1 (in the USA) requirements, and any local codes or regulations of the enforcing authority.
Air for combustion is drawn in through the front of the unit, therefore, the front of the unit must be kept clear of any obstructions.
GAS PRESSURE TEST
The unit is preset to give the correct gas input at the specifi ed manifold pressures shown on the label. The maximum gas manifold pressure is:
Natural Gas | 3.8" w.c. |
Propane | 11.0" w.c. |
The burner aeration is factory set but may need adjusting due to either the local gas supply, air supply or altitude.
Natural Gas: | 1/8" (3.2mm) open |
Propane: | 3/16" (4.8mm) open |
Note: Any damage due to carboning result- ing from improperly setting the aera- tion controls is NOT covered under warranty.
Note: Aeration Adjustment should only be performed by an authorized FPI Installer at the time of installation or service.
TEST FOR FLUE
SPILLAGE
A " spillage" test must be made before the installed unit is left with the customer. Follow the procedure below:
1)Start all exhaust fans in the home and then close all external doors and windows in the house.
2)Light the unit and set controls to maximum. Turn fan off.
