BEFORE YOU START
Television Considerations
Installing a television above a replace has become increasingly
popular; however, the area above any replace gets hot and most
TV manufacturers recommend against placing their products
near a heat source.
If you install a television above this replace, 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 replace, turn off the replace and
let it cool completely before servicing or touching any buttons on
the TV.
Sample Warnings and Denitions:
DANGER
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in minor or moderate injury.
NOTICE: Addresses practices not related to personal injury.
____________________________________________________
Read all instructions before starting installation and
follow them carefully to ensure safety. Failure to follow
the instructions will void the warranty and may cause a
re hazard.
The warranty will be voided by, and the warranter disclaims
any responsibility for the following actions:
• Installation by anyone other than the dealer or his agent.
• Installation of any damaged replace or component.
• Modication of the replace or direct vent system.
• Installation other than as instructed by Empire Comfort
Systems.
• Improper positioning of logs, glass door, or accessories.
• Installation and/or use of any component part not
manufactured or approved by Empire Comfort Systems.
All correspondence should refer to complete Model Number, Serial
Number and type of gas. Fill out the Homeowner Reference Section.
(See Page 3).
Unpacking The Fireplace
1. Cut away shrink-wrap material around the unit.
Retain instruction manual and instruction sheets.
2. Remove non-combustible board from the rear of the
replace, and place in a safe location. It will be needed
for installation.
3. Get help to lift replace.

37606-4-0718 Page 5
BEFORE YOU START (CONT’D)
Accessories
Most accessories install much more easily before tting the
replace to the opening.
For example, it takes just 10-15 minutes to install the blower side
before it’s framed in. Once the replace is framed in, it takes up
to an hour.
Preparation
This replace and its components are safe when installed
in accordance with this Manual. Report any parts damaged
in shipment to your dealer. Do not install the replace with
damaged, incomplete or substitute parts.
Installation Considerations
• Gas supply piping – right or left side entrance
• Electrical supply and connections 120V, 60Hz, 1 Amp,
right side entrance
• Allowable replace mounting surfaces:
1. A at, hard, combustible or non-combustible surface
2. A raised platform of combustible or non-combustible
material.
3. The four corners of the replace onto non-combustible
material so that contact is made on all four perimeter
edges on the bottom of the replace – such as on cinder
blocks (where allowed by local codes).
• If the replace is installed directly on carpeting, tile or other
combustible material other than wood ooring, it should be
installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width
and depth of the replace.
• This replace is designed to be installed in a zero-clearance
enclosure. Combustible material can come in contact with
the side standoff spacers, and the replace can be secured
to combustible framing with the framing brackets provided
with the replace.
Planning the installation
First determine where the replace will be located and what
accessories will be installed.
Your location must allow for:
• Venting – either vertical or horizontal. Choose a vent
conguration, (See Pages 34-36) and make sure the required
access through attics and walls is not blocked by other utilities
such as water lines, sewer vents, gas lines, etc. If access
is blocked, you will need to move the utilities or relocate the
replace.
• Gas supply piping (right or left side of entrance) – see pipe
size and specs on (Page 17).
• Electrical supply requirements
(120V, 60Hz, 1 Amp) (right side entrance)
• Proper framing required for installation of the replace.
See framing dimensions on (Page 22).
• Finishing the replace – drywall thickness, tile or stone
thickness, and the desired decorative accessories can affect
how you frame the opening and how you attach the nailing
anges to set the proper depth. (See Pages 23 and 24) for
nishing details, before you begin.

Notes to Installer
• This direct-vent replace is designed to:
- Operate with combustion air drawn from outside of the
building.
- Expel all exhaust gases to the outside of the building.
• The installation must conform with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54* Natural Gas and Propane Installation
Code, or CSA B149.1 in Canada. * Available from the
American National Standards Institute, Inc. 11 West 42nd
St., New York, N.Y. 10036
• Any alteration of the original design, installation other than
as shown in these instructions, or use with a type of gas not
shown on the rating plate is the responsibility of the person
and company making the change.
• This replace is not for use with solid fuels.
• These replace models may be installed in a bedroom or
bed-sitting room in the U.S.A. and Canada.
WARNING
Any change to this replace can be dangerous. Improper
installation or use can cause serious injury or death from
re, burns, explosion or carbon monoxide poisoning.
Fireplace Certication
This replace is design certied in accordance with American
National Standard/CSA Standard ANSI Z21.88/CSA 2.33 and by
Underwriters Laboratories as a Direct Vent Gas Fireplace Heater
and shall be installed according to these instructions.
Consult your local building code agency, prior to installation,

The replace, when installed, must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes or, in absence of local codes, with
the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70 or Canadian Electric
code, CSA C22.1, if an external electrical source is utilized.
Qualied Installing Agency
Installation and replacement of gas piping, gas utilization
equipment or accessories and repair and servicing of equipment
shall be performed only by a qualied agency. The term “qualied
agency” means any individual, rm, corporation or company

of Massachusetts. Requirements on Page 53.
High Altitude (USA)
When installing this replace at an elevation above 2000 feet
(in the United States) it may be necessary to decrease the input
rating by changing the existing burner orice to a smaller size.

above sea level.
High Altitude (CANADA)
Altitude: 0-4500 feet (0-1370 meters)
When installing this replace at an elevation above 4500 feet
(in Canada), check with local authorities.
Consult your local gas utility for assistance in determining the
proper orice for your location.
