any gas in the combustion chamber to
escape.

SHUTDOWN
PROCEDURE
1) Use the wall switch, thermostat or remote

2) Turn the main gas control clockwise to the
"OFF" position to turn off the pilot.
3) Turn off all electric power to appliance if
service is to be performed.
FIRST FIRE
The fi rst fi re in your fi replace 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 before 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.
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.
AERATION
ADJUSTMENT
The air shutter can be adjusted by moving the
adjusting wire up or down. The wire is accessed
through the bottom louver opening. Open the air
shutter for a blue fl ame or close for a yellower
fl ame. The burner aeration is factory set but
may need adjusting due to either the local gas
supply or altitude.
Minimum Air Shutter Opening:
3/16"
Natural Gas
1/4" Propane
CAUTION: Carbon will be produced if air shutter
is closed too much.
Note: Any damage due to carboning
resulting from improperly setting
the aeration controls is NOT covered
under warranty.
Note: Aeration Adjustment should only
be performed by an authorized FPI
Installer at the time of installation or
service.
Adjustment Wire: Push to close or pull to
open aeration cap.

Open - Short Blue
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.
IMPORTANT
To ignite or reignite the pilot, you
must fi rst 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.
NOTE: For all propane units and units
equipped with electric spark boxes,
see "Copy of Lighting Plate Instruc-
tions" section for more details.
