FPI P36-4 Zero Clearance Direct Vent Gas Fireplace
MAINTENANCE
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.
GOLD-PLATED &
BRASS LOUVERS
OR TRIM
The 24 carat gold plated or brass 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.
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 and 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 diagrams under Log
Installation.
Note: Improper positioning of logs may create
carbon build-up and will severely alter
the unit's performance which is not
covered under warranty.
THERMOPILE/
THERMOCOUPLE
1)
Open the bottom louvers.
2)
Loosen the thermocouple or thermopile with
a 7/16" wrench.
3)
Disconnect thermocouple by loosening nut
from the valve with a 9mm wrench. Dis-
connect thermopile by loosening 2 screws
marked TP on the valve.
4)
Drop the thermocouple or thermopile down
from the bracket and pull it out of the unit.
5)
Reinstall the new ones in reverse order.
