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 de-
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
During the first few fires, a white film
may develop on the glass front as part
of the curing process. The glass should
be cleaned or the film will bake on and
become very difficult to remove. Use
a non-abrasive cleaner and NEVER clean
the glass while it is hot.
FIRST FIRE
The first fire in your stove is part of the paint
curing process. To ensure that the paint is
properly cured, it is recommended that you
burn your fireplace for at least four (4) hours

have accumulated in the main burner com-
partment, to escape. If you do smell gas,

OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Before operating this appliance, proceed
through the following check list.
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.

operate the appliance with the door glass
removed.
5) Verify that all venting and the cap is unob-
structed.
6) Verify log placement. If the pilot cannot be
seen when lighting the unit - the logs or the
embers have been incorrectly positioned.

again without a minimum of a 60 second
wait.

the glass may fog up. This will burn off after
a few minutes of operation.
DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCE
WITH THE GLASS ASSEMBLY RE-
MOVED.
LIGHTING
PROCEDURE
the first time you use it with the fan on. When
first 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 con-
densation 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.
IMPORTANT
To ignite or reignite the pilot,
you must first release the
tension springs below the door.
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.
