MAINTENANCE
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 components should be replaced
immediately.
2)
Remove the Termination Cap, and shine a
fl ashlight down the Vent. Remove any bird
nests, or other foreign material.
3)
Check for evidences of excessive
condensation, such as water droplets forming
in the inner liner, and subsequently dripping
out the joints, Continuous condensation can
cause corrosion of caps, pipe, and fi ttings.
It may be caused by having excessive
lateral runs, too many elbows, and exterior
portions of the system being exposed to
cold weather.
4)
Inspect joints, to verify that no pipe
sections or fi ttings have been disturbed,
and consequently loosened. Also check
mechanical supports such as Wall Straps,
or plumbers' tape for rigidity.
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.
NOTE: Improper positioning of logs may
create carbon build-up and will alter the unit’s
performance which is not covered under
warranty.
GLASS GASKET
If the glass gasket requires replacement use
glass gasket (Part # 936-265) for the Bay Front
and a tadpole gasket for the Flush Front (Part
# 936-155).

GOLD-PLATED TRIM
The 24 carat gold plated fi nish on the trim
requires little maintenance, and need only be
cleaned with a damp cloth. DO NOT use abrasive
materials or chemical cleaners, as they may
harm the fi nish and void the warranty.
Clean
any fi ngerprints 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 temperature,
5 mm Neoceram ceramic glass that will withstand
the highest heat that your unit will produce. If
your glass requires cleaning, we recommend

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

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