the glass properly secured in place.

and to replace nay part of the control system
and any gas control which has been under
water.

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 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.
GOLD or BRASS
LOUVERS & TRIM
The 24 carat gold-plated or brass fi nish on the
louvers and trim requires little maintenance, and
need only be cleaned with a damp cloth. DO
NOT use abrasive materials or chemical clean-
ers, 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.
Disconnect 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.
GLASS GASKET
If the glass gasket requires replacement use
5/8" fl at glass gasket for the Bay Front (Part
# 936-243) and a tadpole glass gasket for the
Flush Front (Part # 936-155).
Caution: Wear gloves when removing
damaged or broken glass.
DOOR GLASS
Your FPI fireplace is supplied with high
temperature, 5 mm Neoceram ceramic glass
that will withstand the highest heat that your unit
will produce. If your glass requires cleaning, we
recommend using an approved glass cleaner
available at all authorized dealers. Do not use
abrasive materials. Do not clean the glass
when hot.
In the event that you break your glass by impact,
purchase your replacement from an authorized
FPI dealer only, and follow our step-by-step
instructions for replacement.
WARNING: Do not operate the
appliance with the glass panels
removed, cracked or broken.
Replacement of the glass panels
should be done by a licensed or
qualifi ed service person.
FLUSH GLASS REPLACEMENT
Remove the fl ush door front. Remove the 4
glass clips from each corner. Slide in the new
replacement glass. Push the 4 glass clips
back onto the frame. The glass must have
gasketing around it.
BAY GLASS REPLACEMENT
1) Remove the door from the unit and place
on a soft surface to prevent scratching.
2) Remove the nuts holding the glass clips in
place and remove.
3) Replace the glass. The glass must have
gasketing around it.
4) Reverse the previous steps, replace the
glass clips and fasten with the nuts but do not
over tighten, as this can break the glass.
5) 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.
