IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

30786-3-0614 Page 5
Some people cannot smell well. Some people cannot smell the
odor of the chemical put into the gas. You must nd out if you
can smell the odorant in propane. Smoking can decrease your
ability to smell. Being around an odor for a time can affect your
sensitivity or ability to detect that odor. Sometimes other odors in
the area mask the gas odor. People may not smell the gas odor
or their minds are on something else. Thinking about smelling a
gas odor can make it easier to smell.
The odorant in LP-Gas is colorless, and it can fade under some
circumstances. For example, if there is an underground leak, the
movement of the gas through soil can lter the odorant. Odorants
in LP-Gas also are subject to oxidation. This fading can occur if
there is rust inside the storage tank or in iron gas pipes.
The odorant in escaped gas can adsorb or absorb onto or into walls,
masonry and other materials and fabrics in a room. That will take
some of the odorant out of the gas, reducing its odor intensity.
LP-Gas may stratify in a closed area, and the odor intensity could
vary at different levels. Since it is heavier than air, there may be
more odor at lower levels. Always be sensitive to the slightest gas
odor. If you detect any odor, treat it as a serious leak. Immediately
go into action as instructed earlier.
Propane (LP-Gas) is a ammable gas which can cause res
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
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 read-
ing the following information, you feel you still need more
information, please contact your gas supplier.
• Learn to recognize the odor of LP-Gas. Your local LP-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 LP-Gas has a weak or abnormal odor, call your LP-Gas
Dealer.
• If you are not qualied, do not light pilot lights, perform service,
or make adjustments to appliances on the LP-Gas system. If
you are qualied, consciously think about the odor of LP-Gas
prior to and while lighting pilot lights or performing service or
making adjustments.
• Sometimes a basement or a closed-up house has a musty
smell that can cover up the LP-Gas odor. Do not try to light
pilot lights, perform service, or make adjustments in an area
where the conditions are such that you may not detect the odor
if there has been a leak of LP-Gas.
• Odor fade, due to oxidation by rust or adsorption on walls of
new cylinders and tanks, is possible. Therefore, people should
be particularly alert and careful when new tanks or cylinders
are placed in service. Odor fade can occur in new tanks, or
reinstalled old tanks, if they are 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 advisable. If you have any question
about the gas odor, call your LP-Gas dealer. Aperiodic
sniff test of the LP-Gas is a good safety measure under
any condition.
• If, at any time, you do not smell the LP-Gas odorant and you
think you should, assume you have a leak. Then take the same
immediate action recommended above for the occasion when
you do detect the odorized LP-Gas.
• If you experience a complete “gas out,” (the container is under
no vapor pressure), turn the tank valve off immediately. If the
container valve is left on, the container may draw in some air
through openings such as pilot light 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 con-
tainer 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.
• Do not operate electric switches, light matches, use your phone.
Do not do anything that could ignite the gas.
• Get everyone out of the building, vehicle, trailer, or area. Do
that IMMEDIATELY.
• Close all gas tank or cylinder supply valves.
• LP-Gas is heavier than air and may settle in low areas such as
basements. When you have reason to suspect a gas leak, keep
out of basements and other low areas. Stay out until reghters
declare them to be safe.
• Use your neighbor’s phone and call a trained LP-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 man and reghters 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.
SOME POINTS TO REMEMBER
NO ODOR DETECTED - ODOR FADE
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!

in Figure 4b.
Attention: For installation of the EMPT Mantel base and/or Man-
tel top components, reference the assembly instructions included
with the mantel.
Attention: The replace venting must start off horizontally when
using the EMPT mantel. Once through the wall, the vent system
may be run vertically or continue with a horizontal termination.
Reference the venting section for additional mantel information.
Installing the 3-Piece Canopy and End Shield
Prior to installing the Peninsula mantel, install the 3-piece canopy
and End Shield in conjunction with the (4) Mantel Corner Brackets
(included with the Mantel Top) as shown in Figure 5a. Refer to
the instructions included with the EMPT Mantel Top for additional
installation details.
1. Install (2) of the Mantel Corner Brackets at the vent end cor-
ners rst. Loosely attach each bracket with one #10 x 1/2"
Hex Head screw through the rear ange and into the pilot hole
on top of the replace. See Figure 5.
2. Position the Rear Canopy with the mitered corner to the open
end of the replace. The canopy will slide under the ange of
the Rear Mantel Corner Bracket. Align the holes in the canopy
with the corner bracket and loosely install a #10 x 1/2" Hex
Head screw to retain.
3. Position the Front Canopy with the mitered corner to the open
end of the replace. The canopy will slide under the Rear Man-
tel Corner Bracket. Align the holes in the Canopy and Corner
Bracket and loosely install a #10 x 1/2" Hex Head screw to
retain.
4. Place the other (2) Mantel Corner Brackets on top of the Front
and Rear Canopies near the open end of the replace and
loosely install a #10 x 1/2" screw through the corner bracket
and canopy, then into the pilot holes provided. Do not tighten
the screws.
5. Install the End Canopy by sliding it under the Open End Man-
tel Corner Bracket anges and align mounting holes. Then,
place the End Shield above the End Canopy and Mantel Cor-
ner Brackets, align holes, then loosely secure all three parts
with #10 x 1/2" screws to the replace.
6. Adjust the canopies left to right as needed so that the mitered
corners meet, then tighten all previously installed screws to
secure end shield, canopies, and mantel corner brackets.
7. To nish canopy installation, install two (2) canopy corner tie
brackets at the underside of the canopy corners as illustrated
by Figure 5a. Use a Phillips screwdriver to install two (2) #8 x
1/2 black sheet metal screws to attach each corner bracket.
Before tightening screws, align the canopy mitered corners
together then secure.
Figures 5 and 6 show placement of the corner brackets,
canopies, and the end shield. Figure 7 shows a nished view of
the replace mantel, top and base.

Figure 9
The gas pipeline can be brought in through the right or left side of
the appliance. Consult the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1 CAN/CGA-B149 (.1 or .2) installation code.
Installing a New Main Gas Cock
Each appliance should have its own manual gas cock.
A manual main gas cock should be located in the vicinity of the unit.
Where none exists, or where its size or location is not adequate,
contact your local authorized installer for installation or relocation.
Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping shall be resistant
to the action of 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.
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!
NOTE: The millivolt gas controls are equipped with a captured screw
type pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to provide a
1/8" test point up stream of the control.
When using copper or ex connector use only approved ttings.
The appliance and it’s individual shut off valve must be disconnected
from supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system
at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system
by closing its individual manual shut off valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to
or less than 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).
Attention! If one of the procedures results in pressures in excess of
1/2 psig (14" w.c.) (3.5 kPa) on the replace gas valve, it will result
in a hazardous condition.
Checking Manifold Pressures
Both Propane and Natural gas valves have a built-in pressure
regulator in the gas valve. Natural gas models will have a manifold
pressure of approximately 3.5" w.c. (.871kPa) at the valve outlet
with the inlet pressure to the valve from a minimum of 4.5" w.c.
(1.120kPa) for the purpose of input adjustment to a maximum of
14.0" w.c. (3.484kPa). Propane gas models will have a manifold
pressure approximately 10.0" w.c. (2.49kPa) at the valve outlet
with the inlet pressure to the valve from a minimum of 10.8" w.c.
(2.68kPa) for the purpose of input adjustment to a maximum of
14.0" w.c. (3.484kPa).

always best to consult your local authority and installation code.
The use of the following gas connectors is recommended:
— ANS Z21.24Appliance Connectors of Corrugated Metal Tubing
and Fittings.
— ANS Z21.45Assembled FlexibleAppliance Connectors of Other
Than All-Metal Construction
The above connectors may be used if acceptable by the authority
having jurisdiction. The state of Massachusetts requires that a exible

REAR VENT CONVERSION
Converting ue take-off to rear venting
When switching out the ue and inlet vent collars to run horizontally
off the rear vent, the following steps must be taken.
1. Remove the inlet vent collar (8 screws) and ue collar (4 screws)
from the top of the replace, and set to the side.
2. Remove the inlet cover plate (4 screws) and ue cover plate
(4 screws) located on the back of the replace. These will be
used to close the top ue and inlet openings.
3. Install ue cover plate over the top ue opening with 4 screws.
4. Reinstall the inlet cover plate over the top inlet opening with 4
screws. See Figure 11.
5. Install the ue collar assembly to the rear ue with 4 screws.
6. Install the inlet vent collar to the rear of the replace with 8
screws.
7. This completes the conversion for a rear vent application.

In planning the installation for the replace, it is necessary to
determine where the unit is to be installed and whether optional
accessories are desired. Gas supply piping should also be planned
at this time. A gas shutoff must be installed in this line.
The replace can be mounted on any of these surfaces:
1. A at hard combustible or non-combustible surface.
2. A raised platform of combustible or non-combustible material.
3. Four (4) corners of the replace so contact is made on all four
perimeter edges on the bottom of the unit.
(Example: Four (4) concrete masonry blocks.)
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 unit.
At this point, you should have decided what components to include
in your installation, and where the replace is to be located. If this
has not been done, stop and consult your dealer for assistance
with this planning.
Accessory kits such as the FBB5 Blower kit, Trim kits, Mantels, plus
other Decorative Frame, Hood, and Door accessory kits may be
installed after the replace is secured to the framing.
Refer to the instructions provided with each of the optional accessory
kits for proper installation and operation.

. Attach the framing brackets to the replace, place replace in
framed opening and secure to framing. Different hole locations can
be used for nishing materials with thicknesses of 3/8", 1/2" and
3/4". Secure the brackets with screws provided using two (2) per
framing bracket. See Figure 13.
Framing brackets should t directly against framing material. Use
at least one (1) nail or screw per bracket to secure in place.
IMPORTANT! Check squareness of all openings of the replace
prior to securing to the framed openings. See Figure 14.
NOTICE: The framing brackets are shipped as at brackets that can
be attached to the ends of the replace prior to sliding replace into
framed opening. Once the replace is slid into position, the framing
brackets can be hand formed to overlap the framing, then secured to
the framing once the replace is squared up, as shown in Figure 14.

To Use the Vent Graph (Figure 22)
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: (Top Vent Connections with Vertical
Termination).
If the vertical dimension from the oor of the unit is 35
feet, the horizontal run to the outer wall ange must not
exceed 6.5 feet.
EXAMPLE B: (Top Vent Connections with Vertical
Termination)
If the vertical dimension from the oor of the unit is 6.5
feet, the horizontal run to the outer wall ange must not
exceed 14.5 feet.
SPECIAL NOTE: For each 45 degree elbow installed in
the horizontal run, the length of the horizontal run MUST
be reduced by 18" (45cm). This does not apply if the 45
degree elbows are installed on the vertical part of the
vent system. Reduce 3' for every 90° elbow.
Example: According to the chart the maximum horizontal
vent length is 20' and if two 45 degree elbows are required
in the horizontal vent it must be reduced to 17'.
The maximum number of 45 degree elbows permitted
per side wall installation is two (2). These elbows can be
installed in either the vertical or horizontal run.
Note: On vertical venting the first elbow is not
counted.
