OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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
vacuuming 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 faceplate with a damp cloth. Never
use an abrasive cleaner. The fi nishes on the
door frame and faceplate may be scratched
if abrasives are used to clean them.
The heater is fi nished in a heat resistant
paint and should only be refi nished 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
fl ame of the burner periodically, making sure
the fl ames are steady; not lifting or fl oating.

inspected before use, and at least annually,
by a qualifi ed fi eld service person, to ensure

not block the pilot.
