GAS PIPE
PRESSURE TESTING
Aeration Adjustment Wire

The appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shut-off valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig. (3.45
kPa). Disconnect piping from valve at pressuresover 1/2 psig.

CAUTION: Carbon will be produced if air shutter
is closed too much.

The manifold pressure is controlled by a regulator
built into the gas control, and should be checkedat the pressure test point.

Note: any damage due to carboning resulting
from improperly setting the aeration controls
is NOT covered under warranty.

Note: To properly check gas pressure, both
inlet and manifold pressures should
be checked using the valve pressure
ports on the valve.

Note: Aeration Adjustment should only
be performed by an authorized FPI
Installer at the time of installation orservice.

LIGHTING
PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT
To ignite or reignite the pilot, you must firstrelease the tension springs below the door.
Only when the pilot holds, without pressure
being applied to the control knob, reapply thetension springs to the door. The unit mustnot be operated with the tension springs
unattached.
NOTE: For all propane units and units equippedwith electric spark boxes, see "Copy of Lighting Plate Instructions" section for more details.
IMPORTANT: Gas on/off knob cannot be
turned from "PILOT" to "OFF" unless it ispartially depressed.

363) Push in the gas control knob slightly andturn clockwise to "OFF". Do not force.
4) Disconnect all electric power and gas to theappliance if service is to be performed.

FIRST FIRE
The first fire in your stove is part of the paintcuring process. To ensure that the paint isproperly 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 theroom for a couple of hours.

The glass panel may require cleaning
after the unit has cooled down. DO
NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE
GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.
Note: When the glass is cold and theappliance is lit, it may cause
condensation and fog the glass.
This condensation is normal andwill disappear in a few minutes as
the glass heats up.

DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCEWITHOUT THE GLASS FRONT IN
PLACE.
During the first few fires, a white film
may develop on the glass front as partof the curing process. The glass should
be cleaned or the film will bake on andbecome very difficult to remove. Use a
non-abrasive cleaner and NEVER clean
the glass while it is hot.

AUTOMATICCONVECTION FANOPERATION
The fan operates automatically, turn the knob on
the side of the faceplate to adjust to the desired
speed. The fan will turn on as the stove comesup to operating temperature. After the unit has
been turned off and the unit cooled to below a
useful heat output range the fan will shut off
automatically.

NORMAL OPERATINGSOUNDS OFGAS APPLIANCES
It is possible that you will hear some sounds
from your gas appliance. This is perfectly normal
due to the fact that there are various gauges
and types of steel used within your appliance.
Listed below are some examples. All are normal
operating sounds and should not be considered
as defects in your appliance.
Blower:
FPI gas appliances use high tech blowers topush heated air farther into the room. It is not
unusual for the fan to make a "whirring" soundwhen ON. This sound will increase or decreasein volume depending on the speed setting ofyour fan speed control.
Burner Tray:
The burner tray is positioned directly under theburner tube(s) and logs and is made of a different
gauge material from the rest of the firebox andbody. Therefore, the varying thicknesses of steel
will expand and contract at slightly different
rates which can cause "ticking" and "cracking"U32-5 FPI Direct Vent Gas Insert

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
sounds. You should also be aware that as there
are temperature changes within the unit thesesounds will likely re-occur. Again, this is normal
for steel fireboxes.
Blower Thermodisc:
When this thermally activated switch turns ON
it will create a small "clicking" sound. This is theswitch contacts closing and is normal.
Pilot Flame:
While the pilot flame is on it can make a veryslight "whisper" sound.
Gas Control Valve:
As the gas control valve turns ON and OFF, adull clicking sound may be audible, this is normal
operation of a gas regulator or valve.
Unit Body/Firebox:
Different types and thicknesses of steel will
expand and contract at different rates resulting
in some "cracking" and "ticking" sounds will beheard throughout the cycling process.

MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Always turn the gas valve to off before
cleaning. For relighting, refer to lighting
instructions. Keep the burner and control
compartment clean by brushing andvacuuming at least once a year. Whencleaning the logs, use a clean soft paintbrush as the logs are fragile and easily
damaged.
2) Clean (never when unit is hot) appliance,
door and louvers with a damp cloth. Neveruse an abrasive cleaner. The gold louvers(and optional gold door) may be scratched
if abrasives are used to clean them.
The heater is finished in a heat resistantpaint 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 burner for proper
position and condition. Visually check theflame of the burner periodically, making surethe 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 ensurethat the flow of combustion and ventilation
air is not obstructed.
During the annual service call, the burners
should be removed from the burner tray
and cleaned. Replace the embers but do
not block the pilot.
5) Keep the area near the appliance clear andfree from combustible materials, gasoline
and other flammable vapours and liquids.

MAINTENANCE
GENERAL VENTMAINTENANCE
Conduct an inspection of the venting systemsemi-annually. Recommended areas to inspect
as follows:

Top View of pilot flame
Incorrect flame pattern will have small, probably
yellow flames, not coming into proper contact
with the rear of the burner or thermopile.

1) Check the Venting System for corrosion inareas that are exposed to the elements.
These will appear as rust spots or
streaks, and in extreme cases, holes.
These components should be replaced
immediately.
2) Remove the Termination Cap, and shine aflashlight down the Vent. Remove any bird
nests, or other foreign material.
3) Check for evidences of excessive
condensation, such as water droplets formingin the inner liner, and subsequently drippingout the joints, Continuous condensation cancause 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 tocold weather.

Top View of pilot flame
If you have an incorrect flame pattern, contact
your FPI dealer for further instructions.

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

LOG REPLACEMENTThe 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 thelogs. The pilot light generates enough heat toburn someone. If for any reason a log shouldneed replacement, you must use the proper
replacement log. The position of these logs
must be as shown in the diagram under Log
Installation.

GOLD-PLATED TRIM
The 24 carat gold plated finish on the trim
requires little maintenance, and need only becleaned with a damp cloth. DO NOT use abrasive
materials or chemical cleaners, as they may
harm the finish and void the warranty. Clean
any fingerprints off before turning the unit
on. If the top louvers start to discolour,check the door gasket seal and replace ifnecessary.

DOOR GLASSYour FPI insert is supplied with high temperature,
5 mm Neoceram ceramic glass that will withstandthe 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 appliancewith 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.

Flush Glass Replacement
Remove the flush door front (as per instructions
in section "Standard Flush Doo"). Remove the
4 glass clips from each corner. Slide in the new
replacement glass. Push the 4 glass clips backonto the frame.

NOTE: Improper positioning of logs may
create carbon build-up and will alter the unit’s
performance which is not covered underwarranty.

GLASS GASKET
If the glass gasket requires replacement use
