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.
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

is normal and will disappear
in a few minutes as the glass
heats up.

FAN OPERATION
The fan operates automatically, turn the knob
on the side of the faceplate to adjust to the

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 consid-
ered 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
