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.

39612-4-0620 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 (See 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 - 24) for
nishing details, before you begin.

NOTICE: Never use plastic pipe. Check to conrm whether your
local codes allow copper tubing or galvanized.
NOTICE: Because some municipalities have additional local codes,
consult your local authority and installation code.
The use of the following gas connectors is recommended:
— ANSI Z21.24 Appliance Connectors of Corrugated Metal Tubing
and Fittings.
— ANSI Z21.45 Assembled Flexible Appliance Connectors of
Other Than All-Metal Construction
The above connectors may be used if acceptable by the authority
having jurisdiction. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires
that a exible appliance connector cannot exceed three feet in length.
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 leg be installed near the
gas inlet. See Figure 25. 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 Supply Valve (Check Local Code)
Each appliance should have its own manual gas supply valve.
A manual main gas supply valve 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 liqueed 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.
WARNING
Never use an exposed ame 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!
Figure 25
NOTICE: The millivolt gas controls are 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.
On direct ignition valves, hex plugs may be replaced with hose ttings
for pressure checks, then reinstalled before operating replace.
When using copper or ex connector use only approved ttings.
The replace 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).
WARNING
Pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (14 inches w.c.) (3.5kPa) on
the replace gas valve, may damage the valve.
Checking Manifold Pressures
Both Propane and Natural Gas valves have a built-in pressure regulator.
Natural Gas models will have a manifold pressure of approximately 3.5
inches w.c. (.871kPa) at the valve outlet with the inlet pressure to the
valve from a minimum of 4.5 inches w.c. (1.120kPa) for the purpose
of input adjustment to a maximum of 14.0 inches w.c. (3.484kPa).
Propane Gas models will have a manifold pressure approximately 10.0
inches w.c. (2.49kPa) at the valve outlet with the inlet pressure to the
valve from a minimum of 10.8 inches w.c. (2.68kPa) for the purpose
of input adjustment to a maximum of 14.0 inches w.c. (3.484 kPa).

SAFETY INFORMATION FOR USERS OF PROPANE GAS
Propane is ammable and can cause res 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.
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, or 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 reghters declare them to be
safe.
• Use your neighbor’s phone and call a trained Propane
Gas service person and the re 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 technician and reghters 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 appliance for you.
NO ODOR DETECTED - ODOR FADE
Some people cannot smell the odor of the chemical put
into the gas. You must nd out if you can smell the odor-
ant 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
lter 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.
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. Because 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 in-
structed 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 nd 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 qualied, do not light pilot lights, perform
service, or make adjustments to appliances on the Pro-
pane Gas system. If you are qualied, 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.
• Odors fade, due to oxidation by rust or adsorption on walls
of new cylinders and tanks. 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 lled and allowed to
set too long before relling. 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 ad-
visable. If you have any question about the gas odor,
call your Propane Gas Dealer. Aperiodic 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 im-
mediately. If the container valve is left on, the container
may draw in some air through openings such as pilot light
orices. 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 relled before it is
completely empty.
