SAFETY LABEL This is a copy of the labels that accompany each U31-2 Gas Insert. We have printed a copy of the contents here for your review. The safety label is located on a plate inside the base of the unit visible when the bottom louver is opened. NOTE: FPI units are constantly being improved. Check the label on the unit and if there is a difference, the label on the unit is the correct one.
REQUIREMENTS MA Code - CO Detector (for the State of Massachusetts only) 5.08: Modifications to NFPA-54, Chapter 10 (2) Revise 10.8.
INSTALLATION IMPORTANT: SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS The FPI Gas Insert must be installed in accordance with these instructions. Carefully read all the instructions in this manual first. Consult the building authority having jurisdiction to determine the need for a permit prior to starting the installation. NOTE: Failure to follow the instructions could cause a malfunction of the heater which could result in death, serious bodily injury, and/or property damage.
INSTALLATION 11) Failure to position the parts in accordance with the diagrams in this manual or failure to use only parts specifically approved with this appliance may result in property damage or personal injury. 12) Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be located out of high traffic areas and away from furniture and draperies.
INSTALLATION Conversion Kit from Natural Gas to Propane Model #402-969 for: U31-NG2 Units THIS CONVERSION MUST BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED GAS FITTER IF IN DOUBT DO NOT DO THIS CONVERSION !! 1) Turn the unit off and allow it to cool to room temperature. 8) Remove regulator from valve and replace with Propane regulator. See diagram 1. 2) Unplug or disconnect power source to stove.
INSTALLATION Before installing vent system ensure that the damper plate is open and secure to prevent the damper plate from falling down and crushing the liner. The manifold pressure is controlled by a regulator built into the gas control, and should be checked at the pressure test point. The pressure check should be carried out with the unit burning and the setting should be within the limits specified.
INSTALLATION 3) After five minutes, test that there is a “pull” on the flue by placing a smoke match, cigarette or similar device which gives off smoke, in front of the spill tube. To ensure a valid test, place a scrap piece of sheet metal (or other noncombustible material) between the spill tube and the upper louver, this will prevent the natural convection of the unit from interfering with the test. See diagram 1.
INSTALLATION 6) Place the Left Top Log D)02-46 on the pin on Log C)02-56 and on top of the cutout on Log A)02-43. A)02-43 B)02-45 3) Place Rear Log A)02-43 on the two pins on the rear log support.

Pins on Rear Log Support Pin 4) Place Front Right Log B)02-45 on the two pins as shown.
INSTALLATION FACEPLATE & TRIM INSTALLATION 1) Lay the faceplate panels flat, face down on something soft so they don't scratch. 2) Take the top faceplate and align the holes in it with the holes in the side panels. Using the screws provided, attach from the top of the panel (the holes in the top panel are slightly larger than the holes in the side panel to facilitate easier installation). Diagram 1.
INSTALLATION 3) Place the bottom of the flush glass behind the bottom glass trim. 4) Secure the glass with the two glass clips at the top corners of the glass. Secure glass clips with the screws provided. Do not over tighten as this could break the glass. BAY FRONT INSTALLATION 1) Place the bay door onto the 2 pins on the top of the unit.

INSTALLATION HAMPTON CAST FACEPLATE INSTALLATION NOTE: Do not install Cast Faceplate when unit is installed into a Zero Clearance Unit. 1) Lay the faceplate panels flat, face down on something soft so they don't scratch. 2) Attach the side filler brackets to the left and right sides using 3 screws and washer per side. NOTE: There are filler brackets specifically for each side. The way to differentiate this is that on the side of the brackets there are 2 mounting holes.
INSTALLATION 11) Mount the cast faceplate panels onto the insert body, sliding the side filler brackets into the space between the glass and the firebox. Secure using the 4 remaining black screws, 2 per side. Slide side filler bracket into gap between glass and fire box. HAMPTON CAST FACEPLATE GRILL INSTALLATION Before the grills are installed, a grill stop bracket needs to be put in place.
