OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

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 fi reboxes.

Blower Thermodisc: 

When this thermally activated switch turns ON 
it will create a small "clicking" sound. This is the 
switch contacts closing and is normal.

Pilot Flame:

 

While the pilot fl ame is on it can make a very 
slight "whisper" sound.

Gas Control Valve:

 

As the gas control valve turns ON and OFF, a 
dull 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 be 
heard 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 and 
vacuuming at least once a year. When 
cleaning the logs, use a clean soft paint 
brush as the logs are fragile and easily 
damaged.

2)

  Clean (never when unit is hot) appliance, 

door and louvers with a damp cloth.  Never 
use an abrasive cleaner. The gold louvers 
(and optional gold door) may be scratched 
if abrasives are used to clean them.

 

The heater is fi nished in a heat resistant 
paint and should only be refi nished 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 the 
fl ame of the burner periodically, making sure 
the fl ames are steady; not lifting or fl oating. 
If there is a problem, call a qualifi ed service 
person. 

4)

  The appliance and venting system must be 

inspected before use, and at least annually, 
by a qualifi ed fi eld service person, to ensure 
that the fl ow 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 and 

free from combustible materials, gasoline 
and other fl ammable vapours and liquids.

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.

 

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 qualifi ed 
service technician to inspect the appliance 
and to replace nay part of the control system 
and any gas control which has been under 
water.

8) 

Periodically check the pilot fl ames. Correct 

fl ame pattern has three strong blue fl ames: 1 
fl owing around the thermopile and 1 around 
the thermocouple, and 1 fl owing across the 
rear of the burner (it does not have to be 
touching the burner).

1)  Push in gas control knob slightly and turn to “PILOT” position.

2)  Push in control knob all the way and hold  in until the pilot lights 

up. Continue to hold the control knob in for about 20 seconds 
after the pilot is lit. Release knob.

3) Push in gas control knob slightly and turn to "ON" position.

4) Turn ON the fl ame switch.

2) Wait fi ve (5) minutes  to clear out any gas. If you then smell gas 

STOP! follow “B” in the safety information above on this label. If 
you don’t smell gas, go to the next step.

3)  Turn knob  on gas control counterclockwise           to “PILOT”.

4) Push in control knob all the way and hold in.  Immediately push 

black button on spark igniter until pilot lights. Continue to hold the 
control knob in for about 1/2 minute after the pilot is lit. Release 
knob and it will pop back up. Pilot should remain lit. If it goes out, 
repeat steps 3) and 4). 

 

If knob does not pop up when released, stop and immediately call 
your service technician or gas supplier.

 

 If the pilot will not stay lit after several tries, turn the gas control 
knob to “OFF” and call your service technician or gas supplier.

5)  Turn gas control knob counterclockwise        to “ON”.

6)  Use rocker switch to operate main burner.

DO NOT REMOVE THIS INSTRUCTION PLATE

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING

A)

  This appliance has a pilot which must be lighted by  hand,  following  the  instructions below  exactly.

B)

  BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the fl oor because some gas is heavier than 

air and will settle on the fl oor.

      WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
 

-  Do not try to light any appliance

 

-  Do not touch any electric switch, do not use any phone in your building

 

-  Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbors phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

 

-  If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fi re department.

C)

  Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not push in or turn by hand, don’t try to 

repair it, call a qualifi ed service technician. Force or attempted repair may result in a fi re or explosion.

D)

  Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualifi ed service technician to inspect the appliance and 

to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.

E) 

 This appliance needs fresh air for safe operation and must be installed so there are provisions for adequate combustion and ventilation air.
