The smoke should be drawn into the spill tube. If
the smoke is still not drawn into the spill tube, turn
the unit off and check for the cause of the lack of
draft. If necessary, seek expert advice.
For wind turbulent sites, a wind cap may remedy
the problem.
Note: The thermally activated safety switch
will sense the change in temperature and shut
down the gas valve in the event of a severe
downdraft or a blocked or disconnected vent.
The switch acts as a safety shut-off to pre
-
vent a build-up of carbon monoxide. If the
flue is blocked or has no "draw", the switch
will automatically shut off the supply of gas
within 5 - 10 minutes. Tampering with the
switch can result in carbon monoxide (CO)
If the heater turns off because of lack of
draft during the spillage test, check for the
cause and if necessary, seek expert advice.
The thermally actuated safety switch will
automatically reset after it has cooled off.
The switch will continue to cycle until the
draft problem is corrected. DO NOT BYPASS
OR DISCONNECT THIS SWITCH.
OPTIONAL
BRICK PANEL

TEST FOR FLUE
SPILLAGE
A "spillage" test must be made before the
installed unit is left with the customer. Fol
-
low the procedure below:
1.
Start all exhaust fans in the home and then
close all external doors and windows in the
house.
2.
Light the unit and set controls to maximum.
Turn fan off.
3.
After five minutes, test that there is a “pull” on
the flue by placing a smoke match, cigarette or
similar device which gives off smoke, in front
of the spill tube. To ensure a valid test, place a
scrap piece of sheet metal (or other noncom-
bustible material) between the spill tube and
the upper louver, this will prevent the natural
convection of the unit from interfering with the
test. See Diagram 1.
GAS INSERT AERATION
SYSTEM
The aeration adjustment rod is attached to the
air shutter which is located just above the orifice
bracket. The rod is used to adjust the aeration
on the main burner without having to take the
appliance apart.
The burner aeration is factory set but may need
adjusting due to either the local gas supply, air
supply or altitude.
Natural Gas: 3/8" (9.5mm) open
Propane:
3/8" (9.5mm) open
Note: Any damage due to carboning resulting
from improperly setting the aeration
controls is NOT covered under
warranty.
Note: Aeration Adjustment should only
be performed by an authorized FPI
Installer at the time of installation or
service.
4.
Before installing the side brick panels, loosen
the screws for the brick tabs enough so that you
can slide the brick clips on to the screws easily
but that the tabs are secure. For the location
of the side brick tab screws see Diagram 2.
5)
Slide brick panel under brick clips, tighten screws
securing clips to complete installation.

Check for proper draft by placing a match close to
the draft check opening. This should be checked
after the unit has been operating for 15 min.
