MAINTENANCE
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 Termination 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.
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.
GLASS GASKET
 
If the glass gasket requires replacement use 
glass gasket (Part # 936-265) for the Bay Front 
and a tadpole gasket for the Flush Front (Part 
# 936-155).

Incorrect fl ame pattern will have small, probably 
yellow fl ames, not coming into proper contact 
with the rear of the burner or thermopile. 
GOLD-PLATED TRIM
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. 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.
DOOR GLASS 
Your FPI  insert 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 appliance 
with glass panels removed, cracked 
or broken. Replacement of the glass 
should be done by a licensed or 
qualifi ed service person.
Caution: Wear gloves when removing 
damaged or broken glass.
Flush Glass Replacement
Remove the fl ush door front (as per instructions 
in section "Standard Flush Doo"). Remove the 
4 glass clips from each corner. Slide in the new 
replacement glass. Push the 4 glass clips back 
onto the frame. 
If you have an incorrect fl ame pattern, contact 
your FPI dealer for further instructions.
