NOTE: fi nal gas connection should be after unit is in place to avoid damage to line when pushing the unit into position.

VENTING

Combustion and Ventilation Air

WARNING: This appliance needs fresh air for safe operation and must be installed with provisions for adequate combustion and ventilation air available to the room in which it

is to be operating.

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.

THE APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE

CONNECTED TO A CHIMNEY FLUE

SERVING A SEPARATE SOLID

FUEL BURNING APPLIANCE.

Follow CAN/CGA B149 (in Canada) or ANSI

Z223.1 (in the USA) requirements, and any local codes or regulations of the enforcing authority.

TEST FOR FLUE

SPILLAGE

This appliance is designed to attach to a 4" diameter type B-Vent or listed gas fuel type vent liner running the full length of the chimney. A minimum fl ue height of 12 feet is recommended. B-Vent must be supported by a vent support - supplied by vent manufacturer. See chart on this page for minimum distances from roof.

Air for combustion is drawn in through the front of the unit, therefore, the front of the unit must be kept clear of any obstructions.

A " spillage" test must be made before the installed unit is left with the customer. Follow the procedure below:

GAS PRESSURE TEST

1) Start all exhaust fans in the home and then close all external doors and windows in the house.

TheFPI Insert incorporates its own internal draft hood, so no additional external draft hood is required.

Periodically check that the vent is unrestricted and an adequate draft is present when the unit is in operation. (See page 8 for spillage test.)

The unit is preset to give the correct gas input at the specifi ed manifold pressures shown on the label. The maximum gas manifold pressure is:

Natural Gas 3.8" w.c.

2) Light the unit and set controls to maximum.

Turn fan off.

FPI U31-2 Gas Fireplace Insert

INSTALLATION

3) After fi ve minutes, test that there is a “pull” on the fl ue by placing a smoke match, cigarette or similar device which gives off smoke, in front of the spill tube. To ensure a valid test, place a scrap piece of sheet metal (or other noncombustible material) between the spill tube and the upper louver, this will prevent the natural convection of the unit from interfering with the test. See diagram

1.

If the heater turns off because of lack of draft during the spillage test, check for the cause and if necessary, seek expert advice.

The thermally actuated safety switch will automatically reset after it has cooled off.

The switch will continue to cycle until the draft problem is corrected. DO NOT BYPASS

OR DISCONNECT THIS SWITCH.

5) Remove the brick tabs and slide the side brick panels into position. See diagram 3.

Install the brick tabs. See diagram 2.

Diagram 2

OPTIONAL

BRICK PANEL

1) Unwrap the brick pattern panels from the protective wrapping.

2) Remove the glass front if it is already installed.

3) Put the rear brick panel fl at against the back of the unit.

Diagram 1

The smoke should be drawn into the spill tube.

If the smoke is still not drawn into the spill tube, turn the unit off and check for the cause of the lack of draft. If necessary, seek expert advice.

4) Before installing the side brick panels, loosen the screws for the brick tabs enough so that you can slide the brick tabs on to the screws easily but that the tabs are secure. For the location of the side brick tab screws see diagram 1.

Diagram 3

For wind turbulent sites, a wind cap may remedy the problem.

Note: The thermally activated safety switch will sense the change in temperature and shut down the gas valve in the event of a severe downdraft or a blocked or disconnected vent. The switch acts as a safety shut-off to prevent a build-up of carbon monoxide. If the fl ue is blocked or has no "draw", the switch will automatically shut off the supply of gas within 5 - 10 minutes. Tampering with the switch can result in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and possible death.

AUTOMATIC

CONVECTION

FAN OPERATION

NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS OF

GAS APPLIANCES

The fan operates automatically, turn the knob on the side of the faceplate to adjust to the desired speed. The fan will turn on as the stove comes up to operating temperature. After the unit has been turned off and the unit cooled to below a useful heat output range the fan will shut off automatically.

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 decrease in volume depending on the speed setting of your fan speed control.

Burner Tray:

The burner tray is positioned directly under the burner tube(s) and logs and is made of a different gauge material from the rest of the fi rebox and body. Therefore, the varying thicknesses of steel will expand and contract at slightly different rates which can cause "ticking" and "cracking" sounds. You should also be aware that as there

24

FPI U31-2 Gas Fireplace Insert

MAINTENANCE

are temperature changes within the unit these sounds will likely re-occur. Again, this is normal for steel fi reboxes.

5) Keep the area near the appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other fl ammable vapours and liquids.

Incorrect fl ame pattern will have small, probably yellow fl ames, not coming into proper contact with the rear burner or thermopile.

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.

WARNING: CHILDREN AND

ADULTS SHOULD BE ALERTED

TO THE HAZARDS OF HIGH

SURFACE TEMPERATURE AND

SHOULD STAY AWAY TO AVOID

BURNS OR CLOTHING IGNITION.

YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE

CAREFULLY SUPERVISED WHEN

THEY ARE IN THE SAME ROOM

AS THE APPLIANCE.

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 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 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.

If there is a problem, call a qualifi ed service person.

CAUTION: ANY SAFETY SCREEN

OR GUARD REMOVED FOR SERV-

ICING AN APPLIANCE MUST BE

REPLACED PRIOR TO OPERAT-

ING THE APPLIANCE.

CLOTHING OR OTHER FLAM-

MABLE MATERIAL SHOULD NOT

BE PLACED ON OR NEAR THE

APPLIANCE.

Top View of pilot fl ame

If you have an incorrect fl ame pattern, contact your FPI dealer for further instructions.

GOLD-PLATED TRIM

6) Each time the appliance is lit, it may cause condensation and fog the glass. This condensation and fog is normal and will disappear in a few minutes as the glass heats up.

The 24 carat gold plated fi nish on the trim requires little maintenance, and need only be cleaned with a damp cloth. DO NOT use abrasive materials or chemical cleaners, as they may harm the fi nish and void the warranty.

Never operate the appliance without the glass properly secured in place, with broken glass or with the door open.

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.

7) Verify proper operation after servicing.

8) Periodically check the pilot fl ames, there should be three strong blue fl ames approx.

3/4" long - 1 fl ame to the front burner, and

1 to the thermopile and one to the left. See diagrams below.

Correct fl ame pattern has two strong blue fl ames: 1 fl owing around the thermopile and

1 reaching towards the rear burner (it does not have to be touching the burner).

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 to 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 diagram under Log

Installation.

NOTE: Improper positioning of logs may create carbon build-up and will alter the unit’s performance which is not covered under warranty.

4) 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.

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.

GLASS GASKET

If the glass gasket requires replacement use

7/8" fl at glass gasket (Part # 936-243) for the

Bay Front and for the Flush Front.
