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 has been cooled
to below 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"
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 fi reboxes.
Blower Thermodisc:
When thermally activated switch turns ON, it
will create a small "clicking" sound. This is the
contact switch closing.
Pilot Flame:
While the pilot fl ame is on it will make a slight
"whisper" sound.
Gas Control Valve:
As the gas control valve turns ON and OFF, a
dull clicking sound may be heard. This is normal
operation of a gas regulator or valve.
Unit Body and Firebox:
Different types and thicknesses of steel will
expand and contract at different rates resulting in
some "cracking" and "ticking" sounds which will
be heard throughout the cycling process.
