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
firebox and body. Therefore, the varying thick-
nesses of steel will expand and contract at
slightly different rates which can cause "tick-
ing" 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 fireboxes.
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 flame 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 off the gas valve before
cleaning. For relighting, refer to lighting
instructions. Keep the burner and control
compartment clean by brushing and vacu-
uming at least once a year. When cleaning
the logs, use a soft clean paint brush as the
logs are fragile and easily damaged.
2) Clean appliance and door with a damp cloth
(never when unit is hot). Never use an
abrasive cleaner. The glass should be
cleaned with a gas fireplace glass cleaner.
The glass should be cleaned when it
starts looking cloudy.
3) The heater is finished in a heat resistant
paint and should only be refinished with
heat resistant paint. FPI uses StoveBright
Paint - Metallic Black #6309.
