In FrameMaker 8 (and earlier) the shortcut you mention is to *display and activate* the spell-check window once it is alraedy open. To invoke the spell-check mode and open that window in the first place, the shortcut is Esc, e, s (three separate keystrokes). 
Also note that you appear to be misinterpreting Adobe's notation for the shortcut. The correct way to type it is as four keystrokes, one of which is compound. In other words: Esc, F (shift + f), i, s.
