MAINTENANCE

6)Each time the appliance is lit, it may cause condensation and fog the glass. This con- densation and fog is normal and will disap- pear 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 qual- ified service technician to inspect the appli- ance 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).

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 compo- nents 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 conden- sation, 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 exces- sive lateral runs, too many elbows, and exterior portions of the system being ex- posed to cold weather.

4)Inspect joints, to verify that no pipe sections or fittings have been disturbed, and conse- quently loosened. Also check mechanical supports such as Wall Straps, or plumbers' tape for rigidity.

Clean any fingerprints off before turning the unit on. If the top louvers start to discolour, check the door gasket seal and replace if necessary.

DOOR GLASS

Your FPI insert is supplied with high tempera- ture, 5 mm Neoceram ceramic glass that will withstand the highest heat that your unit will produce. If your glass requires cleaning, we recommend using an approved glass cleaner available at all authorized dealers. Do not use abrasive materials. Do not clean the glass when hot.

In the event that you break your glass by impact, purchase your replacement from an authorized FPI dealer only, and follow our step- by-step instructions for replacement.

Warning: Do not operate appliance with glass panels removed, cracked or broken. Replacement of the glass should be done by a licensed or qualified service person.

Caution: Wear gloves when removing damaged or broken glass.
