U32-4 FPI Direct Vent Gas Insert
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.
AUTOMATIC  
CONVECTION FAN 
OPERATION
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.
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 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" 
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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.

have accumulated in the main burner 
compartment, to escape. If you do smell

LIGHTING 
PROCEDURE
FIRST FIRE
The fi rst fi re 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 fi replace for at least four (4) hours 
the fi rst time 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. 
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 Instructions" section for more details.
IMPORTANT:  Gas on/off knob cannot be 
turned from "PILOT" to "OFF" unless it is 
partially depressed.
