Installation Considerations - Fireplace Installation Guidelines When planning a fireplace installation, it’s necessary to determine: • Gas supply piping (right side entrance). • Electrical supply requirements (120V, 60Hz, 1 Amp) (right side entrance) • These models do not include the Accent Light assembly. However, the Accent Light Kit may be purchased and installed during or after fireplace installation. Instructions are supplied with the Accent Light Kit. • Proper opening size of framing required for installation of the fireplace. The framing of the fireplace will determine how the fireplace finishing materials will be applied. Refer to the installation information on pages 20 to 23. The blower kit is easier to install at the time of fireplace • installations. See blower installation section on pages 8 to 10. In planning the installation for the fireplace, determine where the fireplace is to be installed and whether optional accessories are desired. Gas supply piping should also be planned at this time. The fireplace can be mounted on any of these surfaces: 1. A flat hard combustible or non-combustible surface. 2. A raised platform of combustible or non-combustible material. If the fireplace is installed directly on carpeting, tile or other combustible material other than wood flooring, it should be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the fireplace. The fireplace is designed to be installed in a zero-clearance enclosure. This means that combustible materials must be located at clearances specified or provided by standoffs or spacers attached to the fireplace. Combustible materials can come in contact with the nailing flanges provided. HOMEOWNER REFERENCE INFORMATION Record the following information about your fireplace.

If you install a television above this fireplace, Empire Comfort Systems accepts no responsibility for damage or injuries. Follow the television manufacturer’s installation instructions, including any recommendations regarding proximity to heat sources. If you have a TV above your fireplace, turn off the fireplace and let it cool completely before servicing or touching any buttons on the TV.

Minimum clearance between vent pipes and combustible materials is 3 inch (76 mm) on top, and 1 inch(25 mm) on bottom and sides. Important! When vent termination exits through foundation less than 20 inch (508 mm) below siding outcrop, the vent pipe must extend outward so that the horizontal vent termination is located flush to, or beyond the outcrop siding. 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. Page 14 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. Venting termination shall not be recessed into wall or siding.

It is required by the National Fuel Gas Code that a drip leg be installed near the gas inlet. See Figure 16. This should consist of a vertical length of pipe tee connected into the gas line that is capped on the bottom in which condensation and foreign particles may collect. Installing a New Main Gas Shut-Off Valve (Check Local Code) Each fireplace should have its own manual gas shut-off valve. A manual main gas shut-off valve should be located in the vicinity of the fireplace. 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 epxosed flame to check for leaks. Fireplace must be disconnected from piping at inlet of control valve and pipe capped or plugged for pressure test. Never pressure test with fireplace connected; control valve will sustain damage! NOTICE: The gas control is equipped with a captured screw type pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to provide a 1/8 inch test point up stream of the control. See Figure 17. When using copper or flex connector use only approved fittings. The fireplace 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 (3.5 kPa). The fireplace 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 (3.5 kPa). Attention! If one of the procedures results in pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (14-in w.c.) (3.5 kPa) on the fireplace gas valve, it will result in a hazardous condition. Page 16 40375-1-1019 GAS SUPPLY (CONT’D) 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-in w.c. (.871 kPa) at the valve outlet with the inlet pressure to the valve from a minimum of 4.5-in w.c. (1.120 kPa) for the purpose of input adjustment to a maximum of 14.0-in w.c. (3.484 kPa). Propane Gas models will have a manifold pressure approximately 10.0-in w.c. (2.49 kPa) at the valve outlet with the inlet pressure to the valve from a minimum of 10.8-in w.c. (2.68 kPa) for the purpose of input adjustment to a maximum of 14.0-in w.c. (3.484 kPa). Gas Line Connection Remove the access panel from the right side of the fireplace shown in Figure 18 to access the gas valve, gas flex line, junction box, and system wiring. Attach the gas flex line to the pre-installed gas line. Refer to the Gas Supply section in this manual for details on the installation requirements for the gas supply line.

Fireplace framing can be built before or after the fireplace is set in place. Framing should be positioned to accommodate wall covering and fireplace facing material. The fireplace framing should be constructed of 2 x 4 lumber. Refer to Figure 23 for minimum framing dimensions. CAUTION Measure fireplace dimensions and verify framing methods, and wall covering details before framing construction begins. Framing dimension A includes a 16 inch clearance for framing standoffs on fireplace. After installing fireplace into framing, the non-combustible board must cover the 16 inch opening above the fireplace. Notice: For finishing to top of fireplace, refer to Figures 32 and 33. B Additionally, in regions where cold air infiltration may be an issue, the inside surfaces may be sheet rocked and taped (or an equivalent method may be used) to achieve maximum air tightness. To further prevent drafts, the wall shield and ceiling firestops should be caulked with caulk rated for a minimum of 300°F continuous exposure rating to seal gaps. Gas line holes and other openings should be caulked or stuffed with unfaced insulation. If the fireplace is being installed on a cement surface, a layer of plywood may be placed underneath to prevent conducting cold up into the room. Framing and Finishing 1. Choose fireplace location. See pages 14 - 15. 2. Frame in fireplace with a header across the top. It is important to allow for finished face when setting the depth of the fireplace. 3. Secure the four framing brackets and hand bend them into a V shape as shown in Figure 24. Secure with #10 x 1/2 inch hex-head screws. 4. Locate the nailing flanges on the sides of the fireplace (two each side). See Figure 24. A C INDEX NO.

This will avoid any extra framing. All vent kit pipes should be assembled on the fireplace after the fireplace is moved into the final position. Cutting the Hole After the fireplace has been positioned in its permanent location, the hole through the exterior wall can be cut. This hole must be 11 inch high x 9-1/8 inch wide with its center line determined by the amount of vertical rise and horizontal run of the termination. See Figures 42 and 43. When locating the hole it must be noted that the bottom of the cap must be minimum of 12 inch (305mm) above the ground level, and top of the cap must be no less than 18 inch (457mm) below a combustible projection, and no closer than 9 inch (229mm) to any wall running parallel to vent termination. Below Grade Installation When it is not possible to meet the required vent termination clearances of 12 inch (305 mm) above grade level, a snorkel kit is recommended. It allows installation depth down to 7 inch (178 mm) below grade level. The 7 inch (178 mm) 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.

Figure 53 40375-1-1019 Page 29 VERTICAL TERMINATION Locate and mark the center point of the vent pipe using a nail on the underside of the roof. Drive the nail through the center point. Mark the outline of the roof hole around this center point. NOTICE: Size of the roof hole dimensions depend on the pitch of the roof. There must be a 1 inch (25 mm) clearance 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 water-tight 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 55. 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. Check local building codes to determine the requirements for these steps. NOTICE: Build the chase large enough to maintain the minimum clearance of combustible materials (including insulation) to the vent system. When installing the vent system in a chase, insulate the 24” MINIMUM chase as you would CLEARANCE TO the outside walls of your home. This is especially important in cold climates. Upon completion of chase framing, install COMBUSTIBLES the vent system NATURAL OR by following the instructions in this manual. The vertical termination cap for this fireplace must not be any MAN MADE closer than 24-in. to combustible materials. See Figure 56. 24” MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES NATURAL OR MAN MADE45° 8’ (2.44M) MAX 45° 40’ (12.19M) MAX 8’ (2.44M) MAX 8’ (2.44M) MAX 40’ (12.19M) MAX VENT CAP 24” 45° 8’ (2.44M) MAX 45° GAS VENT 24” MORE THAN 10 FEET Figure 55 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. Figure 56 If two vertical terminations are run near each other, they may be placed a minimum of 12 inches between them if they are at the same height. See Figure 54. If two vent terminations are not at the same height, they must be positioned at least 24 inches apart to minimize draft issues between them. 12” MINIMUM Installing the Vent System in a Chase A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the gas fireplace and/or its vent system. Vertical vent runs on the outside of a building may be, but are not required to be installed inside a chase. Figure 57 Page 30 40375-1-1019 VERTICAL TERMINATION (CONT’D) Vertical Through-the-Roof Applications Your Gas Fireplace has been approved for: a) Vertical installations up to 40 feet in height. b) Two sets of 45-degree elbow offsets within these vertical installations. From 0 to a maximum of 8 feet, a vent pipe can be used between elbows. c) Wall straps must be used to support offset pipe every 4 feet. This application will require that you first determine the roof pitch and use the appropriate venting components. OFFSET CHART General Maintenance Inspect venting system semi-annually as follows: 1. Check for corrosion areas of the venting system exposed to the elements. These will appear as rust spots or streaks and, in extreme cases, holes. Replace damaged components should immediately. 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. RISE Venting termination 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. NOTICE: This also pertains to vertical vent systems installed on the outside of the building. Slide the vertical vent cap over the ends of the vent pipe and secure. See Figure 59.

When installing a horizontal vent run from top connections, maintain at least 1/2 inch rise for every 12 inches of vent run. When venting horizontal off the rear vent connections, allow a minimum rise of 2 inch. Refer to Page 14 when mounting termination near vinyl siding. 4. 5. Slide the Flex Vent flue pipe into the Outer Flex Vent pipe. Install the Wall Firestop/Thimble assembly as required through the wall. Refer to the venting charts in the fireplace manual to determine the proper height and size of the vent opening. The minimum opening should be 9 inch wide by 11 inch high. The minimum combustible clearance from the horizontal vent is 1 inch from sides and bottom, and 3 inch above the vent pipe. See Figure C. TOP OF VENT COMBUSTIBLES NOT ALLOWED IN SHADED AREA 4” DIAMETER FLUE 7” DIAMETER INTAKE VENT 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. STEP-BY-STEP 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 inch and 12 inch intervals along its length. See Figure A. If not, stretch the spacer springs to about 15 inches long and wrap them around the flue, then interlock the ends of each spring about 2 inches. See Figure B. Maintain equal distance between spring spacers. SPACER SPRINGS FLEX OUTER VENT Figure C 6. 7. In most cases, after determining the length of the vent that is needed, it may be easier to install the flue and outer vent pipes to the Termination Cap first, then from the outside, feed the venting through the wall to the fireplace. If the venting is to long, trim off any excess vent before attaching the vent end connectors. CAUTION Do not use force when installing the Horizontal Vent Termination into the flex venting. Always stretch venting out first, then cut off excessive vent material prior to sliding the vent termination into the flue and inlet venting. Forcing the termination cap into the flex venting will deform the flue venting, which will restrict the exhaust gases, and cause improper operation of the fireplace. 8. 9. Attach the Termination Cap to the outside of the house. Prior to making the vent connections, apply high temperature sealant (1000 degree F min.) to the vent connections before securing with the band clamps provided. NOTICE: the flue pipe end without the adapter is to be installed to the Termination Cap. 10. Apply sealant to the outside of the flue pipe adapter and connect to the flex flue pipe. Then insert the adapter into the fireplace flue. Secure flue adapter to the fireplace flue with a minimum of two screws provided. See Figure D.

Page 34 40375-1-1019 DVVK-4FV DIRECT VENT TERMINATION KIT (CONT’D) Step-By-Step Installation 1. Unpack vent components and check all items for shipping damage. 2. For this venting system to operate as designed it is dependent on the use of all parts and procedures detailed in these instructions. Failure to follow these instructions may potentially affect the performance of this vent system and the attached appliance. 3. As per the fireplace manufacturer’s instructions, replace the existing 6-5/8 inch diameter fireplace vent adapter with the 7 inch diameter flex vent fireplace adapter included in the vent kit. Install the adapter collar with the screws removed from the standard fireplace collar. Refer to the fireplace manual for additional information on the vent collar removal and installation. 4. Once the fireplace location has been determined, mark the ceiling where the flex vent will pass through. Cut an opening for installation of the firestop thimble assembly. The opening must measure a minimum of 9-1/2 inch x 9-1/2 inch square. See Figure 60. Figure 60 40375-1-1019 5. Next, determine the location for the cutout in the roof opening. This opening must be large enough to provide a minimum 1 inch air space clearance from the vertical vent pipe to any combustible framing. 6. Install the Firestop/Thimble assembly to the framed opening in the ceiling using common nails or screws. NotICE: The thimble assembly is adjustable up or down as needed within the firestop. It is also designed with a pivoting firestop for use with 0 - 3/12 pitch cathedral ceilings. 7. To begin vent system assembly, first layout all the vent components on the floor in the order in which they will be assembled. 8. Stretch the 4 inch diameter inner flex flue and 7 inch diameter outer flex vent to the maximum length of 6 feet. 9. Install the spring spacers provided around the 4 inch diameter flex flue at 1 foot intervals, then slide the flue pipe with spacers into the 7 inch diameter outer flex vent pipe. Make sure the springs are spaced evenly starting at 12 inches from the fireplace collar. See Figure 61. Figure 61 Page 35 DVVK-4FV DIRECT VENT TERMINATION KIT (CONT’D) 10. With the flex vent assembly and the 48 inch long hard pipe components laid out on the floor, begin securing these parts together. First, apply a generous bead of silicone sealant to the inside of the 4 inch diameter flex flue (not the end with the pre-installed connector), then slide the flex flue over the 4 inch diameter hard pipe flue. Be sure to overlap at least 1-1/4 inch. Secure this connection with a 4 inch diameter band clamp provided. Be careful not to damage or tear the flex flue when tightening clamp. 11. Repeat the connection process for the outer 7 inch diameter flex vent to hard pipe connection. Use silicone sealant at this joint also, overlap at least 1-1/4 inch, then secure the joint with the 7 inch diameter band clamp provided. Be careful not to damage or tear the flex vent pipe when tightening the clamp. 12. While the venting is still on the floor, assemble the roof jack components as shown in Figure 62 and pre-install the roof jack assembly to the hard pipe approximately 18 inches from the top end of the hard pipe. 13. Now the pre-assembled vent system may be carried to the roof, then lowered through the roof cutout opening (see step 5). Feed the flex vent end down through the roof opening and firestop/thimble assembly installed in steps 4 through 6. 14. Secure the roof support assembly to the roof sheathing with at least four nails/screws through each support bracket. Check that the combustible clearances through the roof framing will maintain at least a 1” clearance from the vent pipe. 15. Determine how high the vent terminal should be located above the roof line based on the roof pitch information shown in Figure 63. Adjust the vent system height by loosening the pre-installed roof support pipe clamp and sliding the vent pipe up or down as pre-determined, then re-tighten the pipe clamp. Install a couple of sheet metal screws through the pipe clamp into the outer hard vent pipe to lock in place. 16. Check to make sure that the bottom end of the flex vent is long enough to reach the fireplace adapter collars. If too long, trim off the extra flex vent not needed. Figure 62 ROOF PITCH H (Min.)

To attach the vent connections at the fireplace, be sure the 7 inch diameter adapter collar has been installed per step 3. Apply a bead of silicone sealant to the 4 inch diameter flex connector, then slide the flex pipe adapter collar into the fireplace flue collar and secure by installing a minimum of two screws through the flue collar and into the adapter. See Figure 64. 18. Apply sealant to the 7 inch diameter adapter collar, slide outer flex vent over the collar, then secure with a 7 inch diameter band clamp. See Figure 64. Figure 65 20. Install the roof flashing, and seal using common constructions practices. Figure 64 19. Once the lower connections are made and the flex pipe is secured with support bands as required (3 feet minimum between supports) then the roof flashing can be installed. See Figure 65. 21. An additional storm collar band is provided in kit that may be used as an attic insulation shield. The collar can be installed around the flex pipe (or hard pipe) just above the firestop thimble. This collar will act as a shield to prevent blown insulation from entering the thimble. 22. To complete the vent installation, install the vent termination cap to the top of the hard vent pipe assembly. Mate up the flue and outer telescopes with the hard pipe assembly, then secure by installing a minimum of two sheet metal screws into the overlapped flanges of the cap and pipe. 23.

Allow 3 inch clearance to combustibles above 8 inch diameter pipe and elbows, and 1 inch clearance to both sides and bottom. Installing Firestops 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. Support vertical runs of this vent systems every 4 feet using wall brackets attached to the vent pipe, then secured with nails or screws to structural framing. Horizontal Firestops 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. Position the firestops on both sides of the framed hole, previously cut. See Figure 68. Secure firestop with nails or screws. Continue the vent run through the firestops. OUTSIDE THIMBLE ASSEMBLY 11” (297 mm) MIN. 9 1/8” (232 mm) MIN. EXTERIOR SHEAVING INSIDE THIMBLE ASSEMBLY Figure 67 Page 40 Figure 68 40375-1-1019 FRAMING AND FINISHING (CONT’D) Vertical Firestops Vertical runs of this system which pass through ceilings require the use of ONE 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 fireplace and vent system, if necessary, to accommodate ceiling joists and/or obstructions. Cut a 9-1/2 inch x 9-1/2 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 69. If the area above the ceiling is NOT an attic, position and secure the ceiling firestop on the ceiling side of the previously cut and framed hole. See Figure 70. If the area above the ceiling is an attic, position and secure the firestop on top of the previously framed hole. See Figure 71. NOTE: Remove insulation from the framed area in the attic before installing the firestop and/or vent pipes. Figure 71 Finishing Finish the walls with the material of your choice. Figure 14 on Page 14 shows the minimum vertical and corresponding maximum horizontal dimensions of mantels or other combustible projections above the top front edge of the fireplace. Only non-combustible materials may be used to cover the black fireplace front. WARNING When finishing the fireplace never obstruct or modify the air inlet/outlet louvers in any manner.

See Figure 98 before all battery power is lost. When the batteries are replaced this Icon will disappear. OFF Figure 96 Figure 98 40375-1-1019 Page 49 MULTIFUNCTION REMOTE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Using the Fireplace without a Remote Control The fireplace can be turned ON (HI only) and OFF with the wall switch. The fireplace flame ON/OFF is the only function that will operate; no flame adjustment, light or blower will work when using the wall switch. The wall control switch should be turned OFF when the fireplace is not being used for extended periods of time. Battery Backup Operation Install batteries (See initialization sequence on page 69). In case of power loss, the fireplace will switch to battery mode automatically. The fireplace will operate normally without the fan or light control when in battery mode. Low Battery Detection When the backup batteries are low, a double-beep will be emitted when the module receives an on/off command. No commands will be accepted until the batteries are replaced or the A/C power is restored. Lockout State Definition A lockout state is reached when an ignition error occurs. The lockout state will remain set in memory as long as the power supplies are applied. This could mean both an anomalous flame detection and/or too many unsuccessful ignition tries. This state is a safe condition for the fireplace and is entered automatically by the IFC board. When the IFC board gets into lockout state: 1. both the Pilot and the Main Burner solenoids in the gas valve are de-energized; 2. a diagnostic code is sent through the diagnostic red LED. 3. the IFC board will ignore any burner ignition command and remain in the OFF state unless the unlock command sequence is met. The causes of lockout must be investigated under safe conditions by the user and/or the service personnel. To reset the IFC from a lockout state, perform the following procedure: • Turning the system power supplies (to the wall control or remote control) OFF for two or three seconds and then restoring a power supply back on. The return of the system to normal operation must be checked under safe conditions by the user and/or service personnel. Page 50 40375-1-1019 INTERMITTENT PILOT LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING Warning If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life. A. This appliance has a pilot which can be lit with the manual on/off switch, a remote control, or by switching the remote receiver switch to the “ON” position.

Figure 103 Page 58 40375-1-1019 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE (CONT’D) MAINTeNance and Service The only recommended maintenance for the homeowner is periodically cleaning the glass. Before cleaning the glass read the warnings below. This fireplace has no user-serviceable mechanical components. Contact your dealer or a qualified gas appliance service technician for all service and repair. Accessing the Control Module WARNING Always turn off gas and electrical supply to the fireplace before servicing. 1. 2. 3. Remove the barrier screen and glass door assemblies, and set them aside in a safe location. It is not necessary to remove decorative glass media from the burner cover or accent glass panels to gain access to the control module. The control module is in the lower front corner of the fireplace bottom. It is secured to the fireplace with Velcro. The gas control and LED light wiring is routed through the lower right side opening to the gas valve wire connections. The 120V power cords are routed through the lower right side opening and plugged into the Junction Box receptacle. Refer to the electrical connections section for additional information. MAINTENANCE Maintenance frequency must be determined individually for each application. Some considerations are: • Cycling frequency. Fireplaces that may cycle 20,000 times annually should be checked monthly. • Intermittent use. Fireplaces that are used seasonally should be checked before shutdown and again before the next use. • Dusty, wet or corrosive environment. Because these environments can cause the gas control to deteriorate more rapidly, the system should be checked more often. • Any control should be replaced if it does not perform properly on checkout or service. In addition, replace any module if it is wet or looks like it has been wet. Service Do not disassemble the gas control; it contains non-replaceable components. Attempted disassembly or repair can damage the control. Exactly follow the warnings and the lighting instructions. 1. Before lighting, smell around the fireplace area for gas. If the fireplace uses Propane (bottled) gas, be sure to smell next to the floor because Propane gas is heavier than air. If you smell gas, immediately shut off the manual valve in the gas piping to the fireplace or on Propane at the tank. Do not try to light any appliance. Do not touch any electrical switch or use the phone. Leave the building and call your gas supplier. If your gas supplier cannot be reached, call the fire department. 2. The gas control must be replaced if it has been flooded with water. Call a qualified service technician. 3. The gas control is a safety device. It must be replaced in case of any physical damage such as bent terminals, missing parts, stripped threads, or evidence of exposure to excessive heat. 40375-1-1019 Follow the operating instructions provided by the manufacturer of your appliance. NOTICE: It is normal for fireplaces 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 normal 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 oil from the manufacturing process. Please ensure that your room is well ventilated - open a window. Burn your fireplace for at least one hour 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 fireplace. Have a qualified service person perform these check-ups once a year preferably before the using of the fireplace. • Clean Burner and Control Compartment Keep the control compartment and burner area clean by vacuuming or brushing at least twice a year. Cleaning Procedure 1. Turn off fireplace. 2. Remove the barrier screen and glass door assembly. See Glass Door Removal. 3. Remove decorative media (a clean portable shop-vac is recommended). 4. Vacuum burner cover and burner screen areas. The control module located in the bottom front corner can also be vacuumed off. 5. Replace decorative media. 6. Reinstall the glass door and barrier screen. 7. Ignite fireplace. See Lighting Instructions. 8. If flame appears abnormal, call a service person. WARNING Handle the glass with care to avoid breaking it. Never strike the glass. To prevent etching or discoloring, clean the glass with Fireplace Glass Cleaner (available from your dealer). Never use cleaners that contain ammonia or abrasives. Never clean the glass while it is hot or even warm. Touching hot glass can cause severe burns. Using liquids or aerosols on hot glass will cause it to shatter. Never operate the fireplace with the glass removed or cracked. Have your dealer replace damaged glass only with glass and gasket material from Empire Comfort Systems. Using substitute glass will void the warranty. Page 59 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE (CONT’D) • Check Vent System The fireplace 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 Clean the glass before use and two or three times each heating season. 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. Use a non-abrasive household cleaner and warm water (we recommend gas fireplace glass cleaner). WARNING Do not use Ammonia based or abrasive cleaners on glass. Do not attempt to clean glass when glass is hot. General Glass Information WARNING Do not operate fireplace with the glass front removed, cracked or broken. 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. 2. 3. 4. The use of substitute glass will void all product warranties. Care must be taken to avoid breakage of the glass. Under no circumstances should this fireplace 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. Do not abuse the glass by striking or hitting it. Page 60 Glass Door and Barrier Screen Removal and Replacement Refer to page 53 for removal of the barrier screen and glass door assemblies. Refer to the Parts View and Parts List on pages 50 and 51 to identify replacement parts such as the barrier screen and glass door assemblies. Glass Door Installation Refer to Figures 99 and 100 to install the glass door assembly. Because of the width of the door assembly, it is recommended that two people install it. Hold the door at an angle so the bottom is about 8 inches from the fireplace face. Engage the top slots in to door frame with the tabs located at the top of the firebox. Gently pivot the door inward to align the four bullet catches across the bottom of the door frame. Once the bullet pins are aligned with the spring catches on the door frame, push the bottom of the door inward to engage the spring catches with the bullet pins. Door Limiter Bracket Installation After the Glass Door is installed, the Door Limiter Bracket must be attached. Using a 5/16 inch hex nut driver, install (3) #10-24 x 3/8 inch screws to retain the Limiter Bracket to the bottom flange of the Glass Door frame. NOTICE: The Door Limiter Bracket must be re-installed to the Glass Door frame prior to operation of the fireplace. Barrier Installation The barrier screen assembly simply installs onto the glass door assembly without fasteners. The barrier frame engages onto (4) pins located on the outer flanges of the door frame. 40375-1-1019 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE (CONT’D) For The Homeowner Annual Inspection • Have the fireplace inspected annually before use. • More frequent inspection and cleaning may be required if the fireplace is installed in an area exposed to pet hair or dust, or to excessive lint from new carpeting or bedding materials.

Propane GAS WARNING ODOR If a gas leak happens, you should be able to smell the gas because of the odorant put in the Propane 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. Propane 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 Propane 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 Propane Gas service people should repair the leak, then check and relight the gas fireplace 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 Propane 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 Propane Gas also are subject to oxidation. This fading can occur if there is rust inside the storage tank or in iron gas pipes. Page 64 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. Propane 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 Propane Gas. Your local Propane 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 Propane Gas has a weak or abnormal odor, call your Propane Gas Dealer. • If you are not qualified, do not light pilot lights, perform service, or make adjustments to appliances on the Propane Gas system. If you are qualified, consciously think about the odor of Propane 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 Propane 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 Propane 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 Propane Gas Dealer. A periodic sniff test of the Propane Gas is a good safety measure under any condition. • If, at any time, you do not smell the Propane 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 Propane 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. 40375-1-1019 REQUIREMENTS FOR MASSACHUSETTS For all side wall horizontally vented gas fueled equipment installed in every dwelling, building or structure used in whole or in part for residential purposes, including those owned or operated by the Commonwealth and where the side wall exhaust vent termination is less than seven feet above finished grade in the area of the venting, including but not limited to decks and porches, the following requirements shall be satisfied: 3.
