SAFETY INFORMATION FOR USERS OF LP GAS
Propane (LP-Gas) is a flammable gas which can cause fires and explosions. In its natural state, propane is odorless and colorless. You may not know all the following safety precautions which can protect both you and your family from an accident. Read them carefully now, then review them point by point with the members of your household. Someday when there may not be a minute to lose, everyone’s safety will depend on knowing exactly what to do. If, after reading the following information, you feel you still need more information, please contact your gas supplier.
LP-GAS WARNING ODOR
If a gas leak happens, you should be able to smell the gas because of the odorant put in the LP-Gas.
That’s your signal to go into immediate action!
• Do not operate electric switches, light matches, use your phone.
Do not do anything that could ignite the gas.
• Get everyone out of the building, vehicle, trailer, or area. Do that IMMEDIATELY.
• Close all gas tank or cylinder supply valves.
• LP-Gas is heavier than air and may settle in low areas such as basements. When you have reason to suspect a gas leak, keep out of basements and other low areas. Stay out until firefighters declare them to be safe.
• Use your neighbor’s phone and call a trained LP-Gas service person and the fire department. Even though you may not continue to smell gas, do not turn on the gas again. Do not re-enter the building, vehicle, trailer, or area.
• Finally, let the service man and firefighters check for escaped gas. Have them air out the area before you return. Properly trained LP-Gas service people should repair the leak, then check and relight the gas appliance for you.
NO ODOR DETECTED - ODOR FADE
Some people cannot smell well. Some people cannot smell the odor of the chemical put into the gas. You must find out if you
can smell the odorant in propane. Smoking can decrease your ability to smell. Being around an odor for a time can affect your sensitivity or ability to detect that odor. Sometimes other odors in the area mask the gas odor. People may not smell the gas odor or their minds are on something else. Thinking about smelling a gas odor can make it easier to smell.
The odorant in LP-Gas is colorless, and it can fade under some
circumstances. For example, if there is an underground leak, the movement of the gas through soil can filter the odorant. Odorants in LP-Gas also are subject to oxidation. This fading can occur if there is rust inside the storage tank or in iron gas pipes.
The odorant in escaped gas can adsorb or absorb onto or into walls, masonry and other materials and fabrics in a room. That will take some of the odorant out of the gas, reducing its odor intensity.
LP-Gas may stratify in a closed area, and the odor intensity could vary at different levels. Since it is heavier than air, there may be more odor at lower levels. Always be sensitive to the slightest gas odor. If you detect any odor, treat it as a serious leak. Immediately go into action as instructed earlier.
SOME POINTS TO REMEMBER
• Learn to recognize the odor of LP-Gas. Your local LP-Gas
Dealer can give you a “Scratch and Sniff” pamphlet. Use it to find out what the propane odor smells like. If you suspect that your LP-Gas has a weak or abnormal odor, call your LP-Gas
Dealer.
• If you are not qualified, do not light pilot lights, perform service, or make adjustments to appliances on the LP-Gas system. If you are qualified, consciously think about the odor of LP-Gas prior to and while lighting pilot lights or performing service or making adjustments.
• Sometimes a basement or a closed-up house has a musty smell that can cover up the LP-Gas odor. Do not try to light pilot lights, perform service, or make adjustments in an area where the conditions are such that you may not detect the odor if there has been a leak of LP-Gas.
• Odor fade, due to oxidation by rust or adsorption on walls of new cylinders and tanks, is possible. Therefore, people should be particularly alert and careful when new tanks or cylinders are placed in service. Odor fade can occur in new tanks, or reinstalled old tanks, if they are filled and allowed to set too long before refilling. Cylinders and tanks which have been out of service for a time may develop internal rust which will cause odor fade. If such conditions are suspected to exist, a periodic sniff test of the gas is advisable. If you have any
question about the gas odor, call your LP-Gas dealer. A periodic sniff test of the LP-Gas is a good safety measure under any condition.
• If, at any time, you do not smell the LP-Gas odorant and you think you should, assume you have a leak. Then take the same immediate action recommended above for the occasion when you do detect the odorized LP-Gas.
• If you experience a complete “gas out,” (the container is under no vapor pressure), turn the tank valve off immediately. If the container valve is left on, the container may draw in some air through openings such as pilot light orifices. If this occurs, some new internal rusting could occur. If the valve is left open, then treat the container as a new tank. Always be sure your container is under vapor pressure by turning it off at the container before it goes completely empty or having it refilled before it is completely empty.

GAS SUPPLY
Installing a New Main Gas Cock
Each appliance should have its own manual gas cock.
A manual main gas cock should be located in the vicinity of the unit. Where none exists, or where its size or location is not adequate, contact your local authorized installer for installation or relocation.
Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping shall be resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gases. The gas lines must be checked for leaks by the installer. This should be done with a soap solution watching for bubbles on all exposed connections, and if unexposed, a pressure test should be made.
Never use an exposed flame to check for leaks. Appliance must be disconnected from piping at inlet of control valve and pipe capped or plugged for pressure test. Never pressure test with appliance connected; control valve will sustain damage!
NOTE: The millivolt gas controls are equipped with a captured screw type pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to provide a 1/8" test point up stream of the control.
On direct ignition valves, hex plugs may be replaced with hose fittings for pressure checks, then reinstalled before operating fireplace.
When using copper or flex connector use only approved fittings.
The appliance and it’s individual shut off valve must be disconnected from supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).
Attention! If one of the procedures results in pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (14" w.c.) (3.5 kPa) on the fireplace gas valve, it will result in a hazardous condition.
Checking Manifold Pressures
Both Propane and Natural gas valves have a built-in pressure regulator in the gas valve. Natural gas models will have a manifold pressure of approximately 3.5" w.c. (.871kPa) at the valve outlet with the inlet pressure to the valve from a minimum of 4.5" w.c.
(1.120kPa) for the purpose of input adjustment to a maximum of
14.0" w.c. (3.484kPa). Propane gas models will have a manifold pressure approximately 10.0" w.c. (2.49kPa) at the valve outlet with the inlet pressure to the valve from a minimum of 10.8" w.c. (2.68kPa) for the purpose of input adjustment to a maximum of 14.0" w.c. (3.484kPa).

Converting flue take-off to rear venting
When switching out the flue and inlet vent collars to run horizontally off the rear vent, the following steps must be taken.
1. Remove the inlet vent collar (8 screws) and flue collar (4 screws) from the top of the fireplace, and set to the side.
2. Remove the inlet cover plate and flue cover plate located on the back of the fireplace. These will be used to close the top flue and inlet openings.
3. Insert the insulation retainer bracket and insulation into the top
INLET VENT COLLAR flue pipe before reinstalling the flue cover plate over the top flue with 4 screws.
4. Reinstall the inlet cover plate over the top inlet opening with 4 screws. See illustration above..
5. Install the flue collar assembly to the rear flue with 4 screws.
6. Install the inlet vent collar to the rear of the fireplace with 8 screws.
7. This completes the conversion for a rear vent application.
Note: for top vented installations, the insulation and retainer are to be removed from the flue pipe and discarded.

VENTING FIREPLACE - TOP
Venting Graph (Dimensions in Feet)
To Use the Vent Graph (Figure 19)
1. Determine the height of the center of the horizontal vent pipe. Using this dimension on the Sidewall Vent Graph, locate the point it intersects with the slanted graph line.
2. From the point of this intersection, draw a vertical line to the bottom of the graph.
3. Select the indicated dimension, and position the unit in accordance with same.
EXAMPLE A:
If the vertical dimension from the floor of the unit is 35 feet, the horizontal run to the outer wall flange must not exceed 6.5 feet.
EXAMPLE B:
If the vertical dimension from the floor of the unit is 6.5 feet, the horizontal run to the outer wall flange must not exceed 14.5 feet.
Special Note: For each 45 degree elbow installed in the horizontal run, the length of the horizontal run MUST be reduced by 18" (45cm). This does not apply if the 45 degree elbows are installed on the vertical part of the vent system.
Reduce 3' for every 90° elbow.
Example: According to the chart the maximum horizontal vent length is 20' and if two 45 degree elbows are required in the horizontal vent it must be reduced to 17'.
The maximum number of 45 degree elbows permitted per side wall installation is two (2). These elbows can be installed in either the vertical or horizontal run.
Note: On vertical venting the first elbow does not get counted.

Below Grade Installation
When it is not possible to meet the required vent terminal clearances of 12" (305mm) above grade level, a snorkel kit is recommended.
It allows installation depth down to 7" (178mm) below grade level.
The 7" (178mm) is measured from the center of the horizontal vent pipe as it penetrates through the wall.
Ensure the sidewall venting clearances are observed. If venting system is installed below ground, we recommend a window well with adequate and proper drainage to be installed around the termination area.

Positioning the Fireplace
Determine the exact position of the appliance so the direct vent termination will be centered (if possible) between two (2) studs. This will avoid any extra framing. All vent kit pipes should be assembled on the unit after the unit is moved into the final position.
Cutting the Hole (Figures 23)
After the fireplace has been positioned in its permanent location, the hole through the exterior wall of the house can be cut. This hole must be 12" (305mm) high x 10" (254mm) wide with its center line determined by the amount of vertical rise and horizontal run of the termination. (See Figure 23) When locating the hole it must be noted that the bottom of the cap must be 12" (305mm) above the ground level, and top of the cap must be no less than 18" (457mm) below a combustible projection, and no closer than 9" (229mm) to any wall running parallel to vent termination.

To Use the Vent Graph (Figure 29)
1. Determine the height of the center of the horizontal vent pipe. Using this dimension on the Sidewall Vent Graph, locate the point it intersects with the slanted graph line.
2. From the point of this intersection, draw a vertical line to the bottom of the graph.
3. Select the indicated dimension, and position the unit in accordance with same.
EXAMPLE A:
If the vertical dimension from the floor of the unit is 12 feet, 4 inches the horizontal run to the outer wall flange must not exceed 12 feet, 3 inches.
EXAMPLE B:
If the vertical dimension from the floor of the unit is
6 feet, 9 inches the horizontal run to the outer wall flange must not exceed 6 feet, 6 inches.
Special Note: For each 45 degree elbow installed in the horizontal run, the length of the horizontal run MUST be reduced by 18" (45cm). This does not apply if the 45 degree elbows are installed on the vertical part of the vent system. Reduce 3' for every 90° elbow.
Example: According to the chart the maximum horizontal vent length is 20' and if two 45 degree elbows are required in the horizontal vent it must be reduced to 17'.
The maximum number of 45 degree elbows permitted per side wall installation is two (2).
These elbows can be installed in either the vertical or horizontal run.

TERMINATION CLEARANCES
Termination clearance for buildings with combustible and noncombustible exteriors.
Vertical Sidewall Installations
Important! Minimum clearance between vent pipes and combustible materials is three (3") (76mm) on top, and (1") (25mm) on bottom and sides.
Figure 34
Important! When vent termination exits through foundation less than 20" below siding outcrop, the vent pipe must flush up with the siding. SD-1284 termination cap must be used.
Information on Various Venting Routes and Components
Important: It is always best to locate the fireplace in such a way that minimizes the number of offsets and horizontal vent length.
Since it is very important that the venting system maintain its balance between the combustion air intake and the flue gas exhaust, certain limitations as to vent configurations apply and must be strictly adhered to.
The graph showing the relationship between vertical and horizontal side wall venting will help to determine the various vent lengths allowable.
The horizontal vent run refers to the total length of vent pipe from the flue collar of the fireplace to the face of the outer wall.
The maximum horizontal vent run is 20 feet (457 cm) when the vertical vent rise is 8 feet (244 cm) (See Figure 19).
Venting terminals shall not be recessed into wall or siding.

VENT SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION
Installing Vent Components (Figure 36)
Begin the vent system installation by installing the first Simpson
Duravent component, 90° elbow to the starting collars or straight pipe on the top of the appliance, then the straight pipe length and then horizontal or vertical termination kit.
NOTE: All outer connection joints must be sealed with aluminum tape, screws or silicone sealant rated above 300°F/149°C. The inner flue joints do not require any sealant.
Simpson Duravent vent system components lock into place by sliding the concentric pipe section with four (4) equally spaced interior beads onto the appliance collar or previously installed component end with four (4) equally spaced indented sections.
When the internal beads of each starting outer pipe line up, rotate pipe section clockwise 90° (approximately 3 inches). The vent pipe is now locked together.
Continue adding components per the pre-planned vent system configuration. Be certain that each succeeding vent component is securely fitted and locked into the preceding component in the vent system.

A horizontal pipe support MUST BE used for each 3 feet of horizontal run. The pipe supports should be placed around the pipe and nailed in place to framing members. There MUST BE a 3 inch clearance to combustibles above 8 inch diameter pipe and elbows and 1 inch clearance on both sides and bottom of the 8 inch dia. pipe to combustibles on all horizontal pipe sections and elbows.
Vertical runs of this vent systems must be supported every 4 feet above the appliance flue outlet by wall brackets attached to the
8 inch vent pipe and secured with nails or screws to structural framing members.

Installing Firestops (Figures 38, 39, 40 and 41)
Firestops are required for safety whenever the vent system passes through an interior wall, an exterior wall, or a ceiling. These firestops act as a firebreak heat shield and as a means to insure that minimum clearances are maintained to the vent system.
Horizontal runs in the vent system which pass through either interior or exterior walls, require the use of wall firestops on both sides of the wall through which the vent passes.
Cut a 10-3/8 inch x 12-3/8 inch hole in wall. Position firestop
(SD1249) on interior side of wall for 10-3/8 inch x 12-3/8 inch hole.
Attention: Wall firestop hole is off-set towards bottom of wall opening. Secure with nails or screws. Continue the vent run through the firestop (See Figure 38).
WALL FIRESTOP
HOLE IS OFF-SET
TOWARDS BOTTOM
OF WALL OPENING.
Figure 38
Vertical runs of this system which pass through ceilings require the use of ONE (1) ceiling firestop at the hole in each ceiling through which the vent passes.
Position a plumb bob directly over the center of the vertical vent component and mark the ceiling to establish the center point of the vent. Drill a hole or drive a nail through this center point and check the floor above for any obstructions such as wiring or plumbing runs. Reposition the appliance and vent system, if necessary, to accommodate ceiling joists and/or obstructions.
Cut a 10 1/2 inch x 10 1/2 inch hole through the ceiling, using the center point previously marked. Frame the hole with framing lumber the same size as the ceiling joists. (See Figure 39) If the area above the ceiling is NOT an attic, position and secure the ceiling firestop (SD-1263) on the ceiling side of the previously cut and framed hole. (See Figure 40) If the area above the ceiling is an attic, position and secure the firestop on top of the previously framed hole. (See Figure 41)
NOTE: Remove insulation from the framed area in the attic before installing the firestop and/or vent pipes.

HORIZONTAL TERMINATION
NOTE: Termination cap should pass through the wall firestop from the exterior of the building. Adjust the termination cap to its final exterior position on the building.
Warning: Termination cap must be positioned so that arrow is pointing up.
Attach the termination cap with the four wood screws provided.
Before attachment of the termination, run a bead of silicone sealant rated above 250°F on its outside edge too, so as to make a seal to the exterior wall.
NOTE: Wood screws can and should be replaced with appropriate fasteners for use on stucco, brick, concrete or other types of siding.
CAUTION: If exterior walls are finished with vinyl siding, (or materials that could become discolored or warp) it is necessary to install the vinyl siding standoff SD-1250.
Vinyl siding standoff SD-1250 will be installed between the vent termination and the exterior wall. (See Figure 42) This horizontal vent termination bolts onto the flat portion of the vinyl siding standoff, so an air space will exist between the wall and the termination cap.

DVVK-5F FLEX VENT INSTRUCTIONS
The DVVK-5F FLEX VENT KIT includes the following components:
• (1) Horizontal Termination Cap
• (1) 4-foot section of Flex vent with spacers (5" flue/8" outer pipe)
with flue adapter collar
• (1) Wall Firestop/Thimble Assembly
• Hardware pack that includes band clamps and screws
Flex venting can be installed either vertically or horizontally off of the DVP Series fireplaces. When installing a horizontal vent run from top connections, maintain at least ½" rise for every 12" of vent run. When venting horizontal off the rear vent connections, allow a minimum rise of 2". Refer to the Figure 42 when mounting termination near vinyl siding.
CAUTION: Always stretch and secure venting with wire or metal strapping to ensure that the horizontal runs do not sag.
If space permits, it is generally easier to attach venting in the top vent configuration.
Because of sharp edges, always use gloves when handling the flex vent components.
Vent connections should overlap a minimum of 1" for proper sealing.
Always follow the general venting requirements for vent terminal location, vent lengths, and clearance to combustible materials.
INSTALLATION
1. Unpack vent components and check that all items are included.
2. Check to see that the vent spacer springs are located around the flue vent at 8" and 12" intervals along its length. See Figure A.
If not, stretch the spacer springs to about 15" long and wrap them around the flue, then interlock the ends of each spring about 2".
See Figure B. Maintain equal distance between spring spacers.

VERTICAL TERMINATION
Locate and mark the center point of the venting pipe. Using a nail on the underside of the roof and drive this nail through this center point. Make the outline of the roof hole around this center point.
NOTE: Size of the roof hole dimensions depend on the pitch of the roof. There must be a 1 inch clearance (25mm) to the vertical pipe sections. This clearance is to all combustible material.
Cover the opening of the vent pipe and cut and frame the roof hole.
Use framing lumber the same size as the roof rafters and install the frame securely. Flashing anchored to frame must withstand high winds. The storm collar is placed over this joint to make a watertight seal. Non-hardening sealant should be used to completely seal this flashing installation.
Determining Minimum Vent Height Above the Roof.
WARNING: Major U.S. building codes specify minimum chimney and/or vent height above the roof top. These minimum heights are necessary in the interest of safety. These specifications are summarized in Figure 43.

2. Remove the cap and shine a flashlight down the vent. Remove any bird nests or other foreign material.
3. Check for evidence of excessive condensate, such as water droplets forming in the inner liner and subsequently dripping out at joints. Condensate can cause corrosion of caps, pipe and fittings. It may be caused by having excessive lateral runs, too many elbows and exterior portions of the system being exposed to cold weather.
4. Inspect joints to verify that no pipe sections or fittings have been disturbed and, consequently, loosened. Also, check mechanical supports, such as wall straps or plumbers’ tape for rigidity.
Venting terminal shall not be recessed into a wall or siding.
A removable panel or other means must be provided in the enclosure for visual inspection of the flue connection.
NOTE: This also pertains to vertical vent systems installed on the outside of the building.
Slide the vertical top SD-1291 over the ends of the vent pipe and secure. (See Figure 44)
Installing the Vent System in a Chase
A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the gas appliance and/or it’s vent system. Vertical vent runs on the outside of a building may be, but are not required to be installed inside a chase.

Note that for steep roof pitches, the vent height must be increased.
In high wind conditions, nearby trees, adjoining roof lines, steep pitched roofs, and other similar factors can result in poor draft, or down-drafting. In these cases, increasing the vent height may solve this problem.
General Maintenance
Conduct an inspection of the venting system semi-annually.
Recommended areas to inspect are as follows:
1. Check areas of the venting system which are exposed to the elements for corrosion. These will appear as rust spots or streaks and, in extreme cases, holes. These components should immediately be replaced.
Figure 44
CAUTION: Treatment of firestop spacers and construction of the chase may vary with the type of building. These instructions are not substitutes for the requirements of local building codes.
Therefore, your local building codes must be checked to determine the requirements for these steps.
NOTE: When installing this vent system in a chase, it is always good building practice to insulate the chase as you would the outside walls of your home. This is especially important for cold climate installations. Upon completion of building your chase framing, install the vent system by following the instructions in this manual. Remember to build the chase large enough so that minimum clearance of combustible materials (including insulation) to the vent system are maintained.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
750 Millivolt System
The standing pilot (750 millivolt system) is a continuous burning pilot. The pilot remains ON even when the main burner is OFF.
When you ignite the pilot, the thermopile produces millivolts
(electrical current) which energizes the magnet in the gas valve.
After 30 seconds to 1 minute time period you can release the gas control knob and the pilot will stay ON. Allow your pilot flame to operate an additional one (1) to two (2) minutes before you turn the gas control knob from the PILOT position to the ON position. This time period allows the millivolts (electrical current) to build-up to a sufficient level allowing the gas control to operate properly.
1. Follow the SAFETY and LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS for standing pilot controls found in this manual and on labels found in control compartment behind the door assembly.
CAUTION: During the initial purging and subsequent lightings, never allow the gas valve control knob to remain depressed in the “pilot” position without pushing the piezo ignitor button at least once every second.
2. During the operating season, leave the control valve knob in the
“ON” position. This will allow the pilot flame to remain lit. Turn the burner flame on or off with the fireplace Remote/OFF/ON switch, wall switch or remote controls.
NOTE: The gas control valve allows you to increase or decrease the height of the main burner flame. The control valve has a pressure regulator with a knob as shown in Figure 50. Rotate the knob clockwise to “HI” to increase the flame height and counterclockwise to “LO” to decrease the flame height.
3. When the operating season is over, turn the Remote/OFF/ON switch to “OFF” and the control valve to “OFF”. The system, including the pilot light, will be shut down.
The OWNER should carefully read and follow these operating instructions at all times. Lower the door assembly to view the gas controls for the fireplace.
Initial Lighting
Upon completing the gas line or turning the gas valve on after it has been in the “OFF” position, a small amount of air will be in the lines. When first lighting the fireplace, it will take a few minutes for the lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the purging is complete, the fireplace will light and operate satisfactorily.
Subsequent lightings of the appliance will not require such purging if the gas valve is not turned to “OFF.”

STANDING PILOT TROUBLESHOOTING
With proper installation and maintenance, your new Direct Vent Gas Fireplace will provide years of trouble-free service. If you do experience a problem, refer to the Trouble Shooting Guide below. This guide will assist a qualified service person in the diagnosis of problems and the corrective action to be taken.
1. Spark ignitor will not light pilot after repeated triggering of piezo ignitor button.
a. Defective ignitor (no spark electrode)
—Check for spark at electrode and pilot; if no spark and electrode wire is properly connected, replace ignitor.
b. No gas or low gas pressure.
—Check remote shut off valves from fireplace. Usually there is a valve near the main. There can be more than one
(1) valve between the fireplace and main.
—Low pressure can be caused by a variety of situations such as a bent line, too narrow diameter of pipe, or low line pressure. Consult with plumber or gas supplier.
c. No LP in tank.
—Check LP (propane) tank. Refill tank.
2. Pilot will not stay lit after carefully following lighting instructions.
a. Defective thermocouple.
—Check that pilot flame impinges on thermocouple. Clean and/or adjust pilot for maximum flame impingement.
—Ensure the thermocouple connection at the gas valve is fully inserted and tight (hand tight plus 1/4 turn). Faulty thermocouple if reading is below specified minimum of 15 millivolts.
—Disconnect the thermocouple from the valve, place one millivolt meter lead wire on the end of the thermocouple and the other millivolt meter lead wire on the thermocouple copper wire. Start the pilot and hold the valve knob in. If the millivolt reading is less than 15 millivolt, replace the thermocouple.
b. Defective valve.
—If thermocouple is producing more than 15 millivolts, replace faulty valve.
3. Pilot burning, no gas to burner, valve knob “ON”, REMOTE/
OFF/ON switch “ON.”
a. REMOTE/OFF/ON switch, wall switch, remote control or wires defective.
—Check REMOTE/OFF/ON switch and wires for proper connections. Place jumper wires across terminal at switch.
If burner comes on, replace defective switch. If OK, place jumper wires across switch wires at gas valve-if burner comes on, wires are faulty or connections are bad.
b. Thermopile may not be generating sufficient millivolts.
—If the pilot flame is not close enough physically to the thermopile, adjust the pilot flame.
—Be sure the wire connections from the thermopile at the gas valve terminals are tight and the thermopile is fully inserted into the pilot bracket.
—Check the thermopile with a millivolt meter. Take the reading at TH-TP & TP terminals of the gas valve. The meter should read 350 millivolts minimum, while holding the valve knob depressed in the pilot position, with the pilot lit, and the REMOTE/OFF/ON switch in the OFF position.
Replace the faulty thermopile if the reading is below the specified minimum.
—With the pilot in the ON position, disconnect the thermopile leads from the valve. Take a reading at the thermopile leads.
The reading should be 350 millivolts minimum. Replace the thermopile if the reading is below the minimum.
c. Defective valve.
—Turn valve knob to ON. Place REMOTE/OFF/ON switch to ON. Check with millivolt meter at thermopile terminals.
Millivolt meter should read greater than 200 millivolts. If the reading is okay and the main burner does not ignite, replace the gas valve.
d. Plugged main burner orifice.
—Check main burner orifice for blockage and remove.
4. Frequent pilot outage problem.
a. Pilot flame may be too high or too low, or blowing (high), causing pilot safety to drop out.
—Clean and adjust flame for maximum flame impingement on the thermocouple. Follow lighting instructions carefully.
5. The pilot and main burner extinguish while in operation.
a. No LP (Propane) in tank.
Check LP (Propane) tank. Refill fuel tank.
b. Inner vent pipe leaking exhaust gases back into system
—Check for leaks.
c. Glass too loose, gasket leaks in corners after usage.
—Be certain glass assembly is installed correctly.
d. Horizontal vent improperly pitched.
—The horizontal vent cap should slope down only enough to prevent any water from entering the unit. The maximum downwards slope is 1/4 inch.
e. Bad thermopile or thermocouple.
—Replace if necessary.
f. Improper vent cap installation.
—Check for proper installation and freedom from debris or blockage.
6. Glass soots.
a. Flame impingement on logs.
—Check and adjust log position. Contact Empire Comfort
Systems, Inc.
b. Debris around throat of main burner.
—Inspect the opening at the base of the main burner. It is imperative that NO material be placed in this opening.
7. Flame burns blue and lifts off main burner.
a. Insufficient oxygen being supplied.
—Check to make sure vent cap is installed properly and free of debris. Make sure that vent system joints are tight and have no leaks.
—Check to make sure that no material has been placed at the main burner base.

OPERATION
Module operation can be conveniently divided into two phases for S8600H. The phases are trial for ignition and main burner operation.
CHECKOUT
Check out the gas control system:
1. At initial installation of the appliance.
2. As part of regular maintenance procedures.
3. As the first step in troubleshooting.
4. Any time work is done on the system.
TRIAL FOR IGNITION
Pilot Ignition
Following call for heat (system start on S8600H), the module energizes the first main valve operator. The first main valve opens, which allows gas to flow to the pilot burner. At the same time, the electronic spark generator in the module produces a 13,000 volt spark pulse output (at 25 pf load). The voltage generates a spark at the igniter-sensor that lights the pilot.
STEP 1: Perform Visual Inspection.
A. With power off, make sure all wiring connections are clean and tight.
B. Turn on power to appliance and ignition module.
C. Open manual shutoff valves in the gas line to the appliance.
D. Do gas leak test ahead of gas control if piping has been disturbed.
17375-10-0706
If the pilot does not light, or the pilot flame current is not at least
1.0 uA and steady, the module will not energize the second main valve and the main burner will not light.
Page 37
INTERMITTENT PILOT TROUBLESHOOTING
Safety Lockout
S8600H provides 100 percent shutoff, or safety lockout. A timer starts timing the moment the trial for ignition starts. Ignition spark continues only until the timed trial for ignition period ends. Then the module goes into safety lockout. Lockout de-energizes the first main valve operator and closes the first main valve in the gas control, stopping pilot gas flow. The control system must be reset by setting the thermostat below room temperature for one minute or by turning off power to the module for one minute.
Main Burner Operation
When the pilot flame is established, a flame rectification circuit is completed between the sensor and burner ground. The flame sensing circuit in the module detects the flame current, shuts off the spark generator and energizes the second main valve operator. The second main valve opens and gas flows to the main burner, where it is ignited by the pilot burner. The flame current also holds the safety lockout timer in the reset (normal) operating condition.
When the call for heat ends, both main valve operators are de-energized, and both main valves in the gas control close.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.

Important
1. The following service procedures are provided as a general guide.
2. Meter readings between gas control and ignition module must be taken within the trial for ignition period. Once the ignition module locks out, the system must be reset by setting the thermostat down for at least one minute before continuing.
3. If any component does not function properly, make sure it is correctly installed and wired before replacing it.
4. The ignition module cannot be repaired. If it malfunctions, it must be replaced.
5. Only trained, experienced service technicians should service intermittent pilot systems.
Perform the CHECKOUT steps on page 37 as the first step in troubleshooting. Then check TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE to pinpoint the cause of the problem. If troubleshooting indicates an ignition problem, see Ignition System Checks below to isolate and correct the problem.
Following troubleshooting, perform the
CHECKOUT procedure
(page 37 ) again to be sure system is operating normally.
Ignition System Checks
Step 1: Check ignition cable.
Make sure:
A. Ignition cable does not touch any metal surfaces.
B. Ignition cable is no more than 36 inches long.
C. Connections to the ignition module and to the igniter-sensor are clean and tight.
D. Ignition cable provides good electrical continuity.
Step 2: Check ignition system grounding.
Nuisance shutdowns are often caused by a poor or erratic ground.
A. A common ground, usually supplied by the pilot burner bracket, is required for the module and the pilot burner/igniter sensor.
• Check for good metal-to-metal contact between the pilot burner bracket and the main burner.
• Check the ground lead from GND (BURNER) terminal on the module to the pilot burner. Make sure connections are clean and tight. If the wire is damaged or deteriorated, replace it with No. 14-18 gauge, moisture-resistant, thermoplastic insulated wire with 105 C (221 F) minimum rating.
• If flame rod or bracket are bent out of position, restore to correct position.
• Replace pilot burner/igniter sensor if insulator is cracked.
Step 3: Check spark ignition circuit. You will need a short jumper
wire made from ignition cable or other heavily insulated wire.
A. Close the manual gas valve.
B. Disconnect the ignition cable at the SPARK terminal on the module.
WARNING
When performing the following steps, do not touch stripped end of jumper or SPARK terminal. The ignition circuit generates 13,000 volts at 25 pf load and electrical shock can result.
C. Energize the module and immediately touch one end of the jumper firmly to the GND terminal on the module. Move the free end of the jumper slowly toward the SPARK terminal until a spark is established.
D. Pull the jumper slowly away from the terminal and note the length of the gap when sparking stops. Check table below.
ARC LENGTH
No arc or arc less than 1/8 inch.
ACTION
Check external fuse, if provided.
Verify power and module input terminal.
Replace module if fuse and power okay.
Arc 1/8 inch or longer Voltage output is okay.
Step 4: Check pilot flame current.
A. Turn off furnace at thermostat.
B. Disconnect main valve wire from the TH or MV terminal on the gas control.
C. Disconnect ground wire from GND (BURNER) terminal at module.
D. Connect a meter (dc microamp scale) in series with the ground lead.
• Disconnect ground lead from GND terminal on ignition module.
• Connect the black (negative) meter lead to the ignition module GND (BURNER) terminal.
• Connect the red (positive) meter lead to the free end of the ground lead.
E. Set thermostat to call for heat. The spark will light the pilot but the main burner will not light because the main valve actuator is disconnected.
F. Read the meter. The flame sensor current must be steady and at least 1.0 uA.
G. If the reading is less than the minimum or unsteady,
• Make sure pilot flame envelopes 3/8 to 1/2 inch of the flame rod.
• If necessary, adjust pilot flame by turning the pilot adjustment screw on the gas control clockwise to decrease or counterclockwise to increase pilot flame. Following adjustment, always replace pilot adjustment cover screw and tighten firmly to assure proper gas control operation.
• Check for cracked ceramic insulator, which can cause short to ground, and replace igniter-sensor if necessary.
• Make sure electrical connections are clean and tight. Replace damaged wire with moisture-resistant No. 18 wire rated for continuous duty up to 105 C (221 F).
H. Remove meter and reconnect all wires. Return system to normal operation before leaving job.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Please Note
It is normal for appliances fabricated of steel to give off some expansion and/or contraction noise during the start up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found with your furnace heat exchanger or car engine.
It is not unusual for your gas fireplace to give off some odor the first time it is burned. This is due to the curing of the paint and any undetected oil from the manufacturing process.
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated - open all windows.
It is recommended that you burn your fireplace for at least six
(6) hours the first time you use it. If optional fan kit has been installed, place fan in the “OFF” position during this time.
IMPORTANT: Turn off gas before servicing appliance. It is recommended that a qualified service person perform these checkups at the beginning of each heating season.
• Clean Burner and Control Compartment
Keep the control compartment, logs, and burner areas surrounding the logs clean by vacuuming or brushing at least twice a year.
Cleaning Procedure
1. Turn off pilot light at gas valve.
2. Remove glass front. (See Glass Removal)
3. Vacuum burner compartment.
4. Reinstall glass front.
5. Ignite pilot. (See Lighting Instructions)
6. Operate the pilot burner. If it appears abnormal call a service person.
• Check Vent System
The appliance and venting system should be inspected before initial use and at least annually by a qualified service person.
Inspect the external vent cap on a regular basis to make sure that no debris is interfering with the air flow.
Glass Cleaning
It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. During start-up condensation, which is normal, forms on the inside of the glass and causes lint, dust and other airborne particles to cling to the glass surface. Also initial paint curing may deposit a slight film on the glass. It is therefore recommended that the glass be cleaned two or three times with a non-abrasive household cleaner and warm water
(we recommend gas fireplace glass cleaner). After that the glass should be cleaned two or three times during each heating season depending on the circumstances present.
General Glass Information
Warning: Do not operate appliance with the glass front removed, cracked or broken. Replacement of the glass should be done by a licensed or qualified service person.
Only glass approved for use by the manufacturer in fireplace may be used for replacement. The glass replacement should be done by a licensed or qualified service person.
WARNING:
1. The use of substitute glass will void all product warranties.
2. Care must be taken to avoid breakage of the glass.
17375-10-0706
3. Under no circumstances should this appliance be operated without the glass front or with a broken glass front. Replacement of the glass (with gasket) as supplied by the manufacturer should be done by a qualified service person.
4. Do not abuse the glass by striking or hitting the glass.
WARNING: Do not use abrasive cleaners on glass. Do not attempt to clean glass when glass is hot.

FBB4 OPTIONAL VARIABLE SPEED BLOWER INSTALLATION
Attention: Install blower assembly before connecting gas inlet supply line
Note: Junction box on right side of fireplace must be pre-wired at time of fireplace installation for use with blower assembly.
It is recommended that an ON/OFF wall switch be installed that will activate the power supply to the furnace by a qualified electrician.
1. If installed, turn OFF gas supply to fireplace.
2. If applicable, turn OFF electric supply to fireplace.
3. Lower bottom louver on fireplace.
4. Refer to page 51, "Junction Box Wiring Installation
Instructions" to complete wiring of junction box.
Attention: If installed, do not damage gas inlet supply line when blower assembly is inserted into fireplace. If necessary, remove gas inlet supply line.
5. Insert blower assembly into interior, bottom of fireplace.
Position blower assembly behind gas valve, align notch on back of blower assembly with center screw on fireplace back and push blower assembly against fireplace back. The magnets on the back and bottom of blower assembly will sufficiently hold blower assembly in place.
6. Position speed control box to the right of gas valve. Attach speed control box to bottom of fireplace. The magnets on bottom of speed control box will sufficiently hold speed control box in place.
7. With base (flush face) of fan control switch facing upward, insert base of fan control switch under the mounting tabs on valve bracket. The base (flush face) of fan control switch must be in contact with bottom of firebox.
8. Insert power cord plug into junction box.
9. Close bottom louver on fireplace.
10. Installation of FBB4 optional variable speed blower assembly is completed.
Wiring
The appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, if an external electrical source is utilized. This appliance is equipped with a three-prong [grounding] plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug. For an ungrounded receptacle, an adapter, which has two prongs and a wire for grounding, can be purchased, plugged into the ungrounded receptacle and its wire connected to the receptacle mounting screw. With this wire completing the ground, the appliance cord plug can be plugged into the adapter and be electrically grounded.
Caution: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
Blower Motor
The blower motor does not have oiling holes. Do not attempt to oil the blower motor.
Blower Wheels
The blower wheels will collect lint and could require periodic cleaning. If the air output decreases or the noise level increases, it indicates a dirty blower wheel. Remove fan and clean blower wheels.
Warning: Unplugging of blower accessory will not stop the heater from cycling. To turn off gas to the heater (millivolt model): push in gas control knob slightly and turn clockwise to "OFF." Do not force. To turn off gas on direct ignition model, turn gas line valve to "OFF."
