FIRST FIRE

The ﬁ rst ﬁ re in your insert is part of the paint

curing process. To ensure that the paint is

properly cured, it is recommended that you

burn your ﬁ replace for at least four (4) hours

the ﬁ rst time you use it with the fan on. When

ﬁ rst 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 the

room 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 the

appliance is lit, it may cause

condensation and fog the glass.

This condensation is normal and

will disappear in a few minutes as

the glass heats up.

DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCE

WITHOUT THE GLASS FRONT IN

PLACE.

OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

1) Read and understand these instructions

before operating this appliance.

2) Check to see that all wiring is correct and

enclosed to prevent possible shock.

3) Check to ensure there are no gas leaks.

4) Make sure the glass in the door frame is

properly positioned. Never operate the

appliance with the glass removed.

5) Verify that the venting and cap are

unobstructed.

6) Ensure that the brick panels, if used, are

FINAL CHECK

Before leaving this unit with the customer, the

installer must ensure that the appliance is ﬁ ring

correctly. This includes:

1) Clocking the appliance to ensure the

correct ﬁ ring rate (rate noted on label) at 15

minutes.

2) If required, adjusting the primary air to ensure

that the ﬂ ame does not carbon. First allow

the unit to burn for 15 min. to stabilize.

3) Check for proper draft.

CAUTION

Any alteration to the product that

causes sooting or carboning that

results in damage to the exterior facia

is not the responsibility of

During the ﬁ rst few ﬁ res, a white ﬁ lm

may develop on the glass front as part

of the curing process. The glass should

be cleaned or the ﬁ lm will bake on and

become very difﬁ cult to remove. Use a

non-abrasive cleaner and NEVER clean

the glass while it is hot.

IMPORTANT

To ignite or reignite the pilot,

you must ﬁ rst release the ten-

sion springs below the door.

NOTE: For all propane units and units

equipped with electric spark boxes,

see "Copy of Lighting Plate Instruc-

tions" section for more details.

Only when the pilot holds, without pressure

being applied to the control knob, reapply the

tension springs to the door. The unit must

not be operated with the tension springs

unattached.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

COPY OF LIGHTING INSTRUCTION PLATE AUTOMATIC

CONVECTION

FAN OPERATION

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 comes

up 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 OPERATING

SOUNDS OF

GAS 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 to

push heated air farther into the room. It is not

unusual for the fan to make a "whirring" sound

when ON. This sound will increase or decrease

in volume depending on the speed setting of

your fan speed control.

Burner Tray:

The burner tray is positioned directly under the

burner tube(s) and logs and is made of a different

gauge material from the rest of the ﬁ rebox and

body. Therefore, the varying thicknesses of steel

will expand and contract at slightly different

rates which can cause "ticking" and "cracking"

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.

22 U35 FPI Direct Vent Gas Insert

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).

STEEL OR GOLD TRIM

The steel or 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.

Top View of pilot ﬂ ame

Incorrect ﬂ ame pattern will have small, probably

yellow ﬂ ames, not coming into proper contact

with the rear of the burner or thermopile.

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).

Note: If you have an incorrect ﬂ ame pattern,

contact your FPI dealer for further

instructions.

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.
