PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT
To ignite or reignite the pilot, you must first
release the tension springs below the door.
3) Push in the gas control knob slightly and
turn clockwise to "OFF". Do not force.
4) Disconnect all electric power and gas to the
appliance if service is to be performed.
FIRST FIRE
Blower:
Only when the pilot holds, without pressure
being applied to the control knob, reapply the
tension springs to the door. The unit must
not be operated with the tension springs
unattached.
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.
The first fire in your insert 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.
NOTE:Forallpropaneunitsandunitsequipped

Plate Instructions" section for more details.
Burner Tray:
The burner tray is positioned directly under
the burner tube(s) and crystals and is made
of a different gauge material from the rest of
the firebox and body. Therefore, the varying
thicknesses of steel will expand and contract at
