7) Verify log placement. If the pilot cannot be
seen when lighting the unit, the logs have
been incorrectly positioned.
3) Turn off all electric power to appliance if
service is to be performed.
8) The unit should never be turned off, and on
again without a minimum of a 60 second
wait.
FIRST FIRE
The first fire in your stove is part of the paint
curing process. To ensure that the paint is
properly cured, it is recommended that you
burn your fireplace for at least four (4) hours
the first time you use it with the fan on. When
first operated, the unit will release an odour
caused by the curing of the paint, the burning
off of any oils remaining from manufacturing.
Smoke detectors in the house may go off at
this time. Open a few windows to ventilate the
room for a couple of hours.
LIGHTING
PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT
Prior to igniting or reigniting the
pilot, remove the glass door.
Only when the pilot holds, without pressure
being applied to the control knob, should you
reinstall the glass door. The unit must not be
operated with the glass door removed.
The glass panel may require cleaning after the
unit has cooled down.
IMPORTANT: Gas cock knob cannot be
turned from "PILOT" to "OFF" unless it is
partially depressed.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE
GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.

NORMAL OPERATING
SOUNDS OF
GAS APPLIANCES
It is possible that you will hear some sounds
fromyourgasappliance.Thisisperfectlynormal
due to the fact that there are various gauges
and types of steel used within your appliance.
Listedbelowaresomeexamples.Allarenormal
operatingsoundsandshouldnotbeconsidered
as defects in your appliance.
Blower:
FPI gas appliances use high tech blowers to
push heated air farther into the room. It is not
unusual for the fan to make a "whirring" sound
when ON. This sound will increase or decrease
in volume depending on the speed setting of
your fan speed control.
Burner Tray:
The burner tray is positioned directly under the
burner tube(s) and logs and is made of a differ-
ent gauge material from the rest of the firebox
and body. Therefore, the varying thicknesses of
steelwillexpandandcontractatslightlydifferent
rates which can cause "ticking" and "cracking"
sounds. You should also be aware that as there
are temperature changes within the unit. These
sounds will likely re-occur. Again, this is normal
for steel fireboxes.
Blower Thermodisc:
When thermally activated switch turns ON, it
will create a small "clicking" sound. This is the
contact switch closing.
Pilot Flame:
While the pilot flame is on it will make a slight
"whisper" sound.
Gas Control Valve:
As the gas control valve turns ON and OFF, a
dull clicking sound may be heard. This is normal
operation of a gas regulator or valve.
Unit Body and Firebox:
Different types and thicknesses of steel will ex-
pand and contract at different rates resulting in
some "cracking" and "ticking" sounds which will
be heard throughout the cycling process.

INSTRUCTIONS
1) Always turn the gas valve to the off posi-
tion before cleaning. For relighting, refer to
lighting instructions. Keep the burner and
controlcompartmentcleanbybrushingand
vacuuming at least once a year.
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.
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 com-
ponents should be replaced immediately.
When cleaning the logs, use a clean soft

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.
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.
