SAFETY INFORMATION FOR USERS OF LP-GAS

by point with the members of your household. Someday

whentheremaynotbeaminutetolose,everyone'ssafetywill

depend on knowing exactly what to do. If, after reading the

following information, you feel you still need more informa-

tion, please contact your gas supplier.

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 precau-

tions which can protect both you and your family from an

accident. Read them carefully now, then review them point

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.

•

Use your neighbor's phone and call a trained LP-Gas service

person and the fire department. Even though you may not

continuetosmellgas, donotturnonthegasagain. Donotre-

enter the building, vehicle, trailer, or area.

•

Close all gas tank or cylinder supply valves.

•

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.

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.

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 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-Gasmaystratifyinaclosedarea,andtheodorintensitycould

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.

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.

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

findoutwhatthepropaneodorsmellslike. Ifyoususpectthat

your LP-Gas has a weak or abnormal odor, call your LP-Gas

Dealer.

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 you are not qualified, do not light pilot lights, perform

service, or make adjustments to appliances on the LP-Gas

system. Ifyouarequalified, consciouslythinkabouttheodor

of LP-Gas prior to and while lighting pilot lights or perform-

ing service or making adjustments.

•

If, at any time, you do not smell the LP-Gas odorant and you

thinkyoushould,assumeyouhavealeak.Thentakethesame

immediateactionrecommendedabovefortheoccasionwhen

you do detect the odorized LP-Gas.

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.

If you experience a complete "gas out," (the container is

under no vapor pressure), turn the tank valve off immedi-

ately. 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

turningitoffatthecontainerbeforeitgoescompletelyempty

or having it refilled before it is completely empty.

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

The use of the following gas connectors is recommended:

— ANS Z21.24 Appliance Connectors of Corrugated Metal

Tubing and Fittings

— ANS Z21.45 Assembled Flexible Appliance Connectors of

Other Than All-Metal Construction

A gas valve and ground joint union should be installed in the gas

line upstream of the gas control to aid in servicing. It is required

by the National Fuel Gas Code that a drip line be installed near the

gas inlet. 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.

The above connectors may be used if acceptable by the authority

having jurisdiction. The state of Massachusetts requires that a

flexible appliance connector cannot exceed three feet in length.

When using copper or flex connector use only approved fittings.

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 10.5" w.c. (2.615kPa). 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 11.0" w.c. (2.739kPa) for the purpose of input

Venting Graph (Dimensions in Feet)

To Use the Vent Graph (Figure 10)

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 22.5 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,

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.

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.

Figure 26

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.

Important! When vent termination exits through foundation less than 20" below siding outcrop, the vent pipe must flush up with the

siding. SD-985 for DVS-30 or SD-1284 for DVS-36/42 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 25)

Venting terminals shall not be recessed into wall or siding.

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.

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.

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.

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 mini-

mum heights are necessary in the interest of safety. These

specifications are summarized in Figure 40.

Slide the vertical top SD-991 for DVS-30 or SD-1291 for DVS-

36/42 over the ends of the vent pipe and secure. (See Figure 41)

Installing the Vent System in a Chase

A chase is a vertical box like structure built to enclose the gas

applianceand/orit'sventsystem.Verticalventrunsontheoutside

of a building may be, but are not required to be installed inside a

chase.

Figure 40

Figure 41

Notethatforsteeproofpitches, theventheightmustbeincreased.

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.

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.

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

streaksand,inextremecases,holes.Thesecomponentsshould

immediately be replaced.

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.

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

Placement of the glowing embers (rock wool) is very individual

and light coverage of the areas indicated will provide your best

effects. We recommend separation of the rock wool by hand and

make your coverage as light and fluffy as possible.

In normal operation at full rate after 10 to 15 minutes, the flame

appearance should be sets of yellow flames.

NOTE: Flames will be random by design, flame height will go

up and down.

Place just enough rock wool on the burner to obtain the glow and

a gold yellow flame.

Glowing embers (rock wool) can cover the pan burner in between

the front and middle logs, but very little is necessary to cover this

area. Excess rock wool material causes the yellow flame to be-

come orange and stringy. Apply just enough to obtain slow glow

and a bright yellow flame.

Do not place rock wool over large ports in rear portion of burner.

A thin layer of glowing embers (rock wool) should be placed

under open space between the right and left middle logs.

During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various

components of this appliance are treated with certain oils, films

or bonding agents. These chemicals are not harmful, but may

produce annoying smoke and smells as they are burned off during

the initial operation of the appliance, possibly causing headaches

or eye or lung irritation. This is a normal and temporary

occurrence.

Rock wool should not be placed in the area of the pilot assembly.

Placing Lava (Decorative) Rock in Front of Grate and Burner

Pan on Fireplace Floor

Spread lava rocks on fireplace floor in front of grate. The rocks

are for decorative effect and are not required for fireplace

operation.

The initial break-in operation should last 2-3 hours with the burner

at the highest setting. Provide maximum ventilation by opening

windows or doors to allow odors to dissipate.Any odors remaining

after this initial break-in will be slight and will disappear with

continued use.

ATTENTION: DO NOT PLACE LAVA ROCKS ON

LOGS, BRANCHES OR ROCK WOOL. THE LAVA

ROCKS SHOULD ONLY BE PLACED ON THE

FIREPLACE FLOOR.

FLAME APPEARANCE

Flames from the pilot (rear right back side of the pan burner) as

well as the main flame should be visually checked as the log set

is installed.

STANDING PILOT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The standing pilot (750 millivolt system) is a continuous burning

pilot. The pilot remains ON even when the main burner is OFF.

3. When the heating season is over, turn the on/off switch to

"OFF" and the control valve to "OFF". The system, including

the pilot light, will be shut down.

750 Millivolt System (Figures 48 and 49)

When you ignite the pilot, the thermocouple 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.

STANDING PILOT TROUBLESHOOTING

With proper installation and maintenance, your new Gas Direct Vent Fireplace should provide years of trouble-free service. If you

doexperienceaproblem, refertotheTroubleShootingGuidebelow. Thisguidewillassistaqualifiedservicepersoninthediagnosis

of problems and the corrective action to be taken.

1. Spark ignitor will not light pilot after repeated triggering

of piezo ignitor button.

—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.

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.

c. Defective valve.

—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.

—Turn valve knob to "ON." Place ON/OFF 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.

—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.

d. Plugged main burner orifice.

—Check main burner orifice for blockage and remove.

4. Frequent pilot outage problem.

—Check LP (propane) tank. Refill tank.

2. Pilot will not stay lit after carefully following lighting

instructions.

a. Pilot flame may be too high or too low, or blowing (high),

causing pilot safety to drop out.

a. Defective thermocouple.

—Cleanandadjustflameformaximumflameimpingement

onthethermocouple.Followlightinginstructionscarefully.

5. The pilot and main burner extinguish while in operation.

a. No LP (Propane) in tank.

—Checkthatpilotflameimpingesonthermocouple.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.

Check LP (Propane) tank. Refill fuel tank.

b. Inner vent pipe leaking exhaust gases back into system

—Check for leaks.

—Disconnect the thermocouple from the valve, place one

millivolt meter lead wire on the end of the thermocouple

andtheothermillivoltmeterleadwireonthethermocouple

copperwire. Startthepilotandholdthevalveknobin. Ifthe

millivolt reading is less than 15 millivolt, replace the

thermocouple.

c. Glass too loose, gasket leaks in corners after usage.

—Be certain glass assembly is installed correctly and

tighten screws.

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.

b. Defective valve.

—If thermocouple is producing more than 15 millivolts,

replace faulty valve.

e. Bad thermopile or thermocouple.

—Replace if necessary.

3. Pilot burning, no gas to burner, valve knob "ON", on/off

switch "ON."

f. Improper vent cap installation.

—Checkforproperinstallationandfreedomfromdebrisor

blockage.

6. Glass soots.

a. "On/Off" switch, wall switch, remote control or wires

defective.

—Check"on/off"switchandwiresforproperconnections.

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.

a. Flame impingement on logs.

—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.

b. Thermopile may not be generating sufficient millivolts.

—If the pilot flame is not close enough physically to the

thermopile, adjust the pilot flame.

—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.

—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 ON/OFF switch in the OFF position.

Replace the faulty thermopile if the reading is below the

specified minimum.

—Be sure glass is tightened properly on unit, particularly

on top corners.

burner.

C. Make sure main burner lights smoothly without flash-

back. Make sure burner operates smoothly without float-

ing or lifting.

D. If gas line has been disturbed, complete gas leak test.

GAS LEAK TEST: Paint gas control gasket edges and all

pipe connections downstream of gas control, including

pilot tubing connections, with rich soap and water solu-

tion. Bubbles indicate gas leaks. Tighten joints and

screws or replace component to stop gas leak.

E. Turn thermostat below room temperature. Make sure

FLAME CURRENT: 1 uA, min.

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 pro-

duces a 13,000 volt spark pulse output (at 25 pf load). The

voltage generates a spark at the igniter-sensor that lights the

pilot.

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.

DVS-36 & DVS-42 INTERMITTENT PILOT TROUBLESHOOTING

Main Burner Operation

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.

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.

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.

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

WARNING

1. The following service procedures are provided as a gen-

eral guide.

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.

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 malfunc-

tions, it must be replaced.

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.

5. Only trained, experienced service technicians should ser-

vice intermittent pilot systems.

ARC LENGTH

ACTION

Perform the CHECKOUT steps on page 10 as the first step in

troubleshooting. Then check TROUBLESHOOTING

GUIDE to pinpoint the cause of the problem. If troubleshoot-

ing indicates an ignition problem, see Ignition System Checks

below to isolate and correct the problem.

No arc or arc less than

1/8 inch.

Check external fuse, if pro-

vided.

Verify power at module input

terminal.

Replace module if fuse and

power okay.

Following troubleshooting, perform the CHECKOUT proce-

dure (page 10 ) again to be sure system is operating normally.

Arc 1/8 inch or longer.

Voltage output is okay.

Ignition System Checks

Step 1: Check ignition cable.

Step 4: Check pilot flame current.

Make sure:

A. Turn off furnace at thermostat.

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.

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. Ignition cable provides good electrical continuity.

D. Connect a meter (dc microamp scale) in series with the

ground lead.

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.

• 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.

• 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 connec-

tions are clean and tight. If the wire is damaged or

deteriorated, replace it with No. 14-18 gauge, mois-

ture-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.

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 de-

crease or counterclockwise to increase pilot flame.

Following adjustment, always replace pilot adjustment

cover screw and tighten firmly to assure proper gas

control operation.

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.

• 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

Glass Removal and Replacement (Figure 55)

1. Push up and outward to remove top louver.

2. Lower door assembly.

3. Release two door latches at bottom of firebox.

4. Grasp bottom of glass frame, lift glass frame upward in order to

release glass frame from lip on top of firebox.

5. Align and place top of glass frame over lip on top of firebox.

6. Grasp bottom of glass frame, push inward and place glass frame onto

firebox.

PLEASE NOTE

It is normal for appliances fabricated of steel to give off some

expansion and/or contraction noised 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 Empire 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.

7. Attach two door latches onto bottom of glass frame.

Please ensure that your room is well ventilated - open all windows.

8. Align and insert (4) mounting tabs on top louver with (4) slots on

casing top. Push downward to lock the top louver into position.

It is recommended that you burn your Empire unit 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 competent service technician perform these check-

ups 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 Appropriate Pilot Lighting Instructions)

6. Operate the pilot burner. If it appears abnormal call a service

person.

GLASS FRAME

• Check Vent System

The appliance and venting system should be inspected before initial

use and at least annually by a qualified field 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.
