COPY OF LIGHTING INSTRUCTION PLATE
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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 flame 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 result-
ing 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 vac-
uuming 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 finished in a heat resistant
paint and should only be refinished 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
flame of the burner periodically, making
sure the flames are steady; not lifting or
floating. If there is a problem, call a qualified
service person.
4) The appliance and venting system must be
inspected before use, and at least annual-
ly, by a qualified field service person, to
ensure that the flow 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 flammable vapours and liquids.
