IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

12434-7-0706Page 4
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 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. 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 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
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 find 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 qualified, do not light pilot lights, perform
service, or make adjustments to appliances on the LP-Gas
system. If you are qualified, consciously think about the odor
of LP-Gas prior to and while lighting pilot lights or perform-
ing 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 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 LP-gas dealer.
A periodic 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 un-
der 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.
• 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
firefighters declare them to be safe.
• Use your neighbor's phone and call a trained LP-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 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!

Locating Gas Supply
The gas line can enter the unit either through the floor or outside wall.
The gas line opening should be made at this time. Location of the opening
will be determined by the position of floor joists and the valve and union
used for servicing.
Note: Never use plastic pipe. Check to confirm whether your local codes
allow copper tubing or galvanized.
Note: Since some municipalities have additional local codes, it is always
best to consult your local authority and installation code.
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
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.

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 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 exposed flame 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!
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.
Figure 2
Method of Installing a Tee Fitting Sediment Trap
Pressure Testing of the Gas Supply System
1. To check the inlet pressure to the gas valve, a 1/8" (3mm) N.P.T.
plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge connection, must be placed
immediately upstream of the gas supply connection to the appliance.
2. The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that
system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
3. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual shutoff 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 above procedures results in pressures in excess
of 1/2 psig (14" w.c.) (3.5 kPa) on the appliance gas valve, it will result
in a hazardous condition.
Checking Manifold Pressure
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 4.0" w.c. (.996kPa) at the valve outlet with the inlet pressure
to the valve from a minimum of 5.0" w.c. (1.245kPa) for the purpose of
input adjustment to a maximum of 10.5" w.c. (2.61kPa). 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 adjustment to a maximum
of 13.0" w.c. (3.237kPa).
A 1/8" (3mm) N.P.T. plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge connection,
is located on the outlet side of the gas control.

1. In selecting a location for installation, it is necessary to provide
adequate accessibility clearances for servicing and proper
installation.
2. Unit is supported by a wall bracket secured to the wall.
3. The minimum clearances from casing to combustible construction
is 48" (121cm) on top, 6" (152mm) on each side and 4" (102mm)
from the floor or from the top surface of carpeting, tile or other
floor covering and 0" (0mm) to rear wall.
4. The minimum distance from the center of the vent cap to the
nearest outside corner or obstruction is 24" (610mm).
5. The DV-25 and DV-35 minimum wall depth is 4 1/2" (114mm)
(and the maximum is 13" (330mm). The use of tubes not supplied
by the manufacturer results in unsatisfactory performance.
The vent terminal of a direct vent appliance, with an input of 50,000
(14.6 KW) BTU per hour or less shall be located at least 9" (229mm)
from any opening through which flue gases could enter a building.
The bottom of the vent terminal and the air intake shall be located
at least 12" (305mm) above grade.
WARNING: The nearest point of the vent cap should be a
minimum horizontal distant of six (6) (1.83m) feet from any
pressure regulator. In case of regulator malfunction, the six
(6) (1.83m) feet distance will reduce the chance of gas entering
the vent cap.
Location of Furnace
Pick a location on an outside wall with a clear space of 28" (711mm)
high by 49" (124cm) wide in the room.
Locating Wall Opening
The furnace is to be located on an outside wall. Locate wall studs
so that wall opening will be located between wall studs. The wall
studs can be used for attachment of wall mounting bracket. The
wall opening required as shown in Figure 3 is a diameter of 7 1/2
inches (191mm).
A template is provided in furnace carton for positioning furnace
on the wall. Also, refer to Figure 3 for positioning the furnace on
wall and for locating gas line connection.
Figure 3 will position the furnace four inches (102mm) off the floor.
If it is desired to position the furnace higher on the wall, add the
difference to the "A," "B" and "C" dimensions.
Note: The vent opening is not in the center of the furnace.
Figure 3
Figure 4
Installing Wall Mounting Bracket
Locate and cut wall opening. If there is insulation above the wall
opening (air inlet tube) a barrier should be installed above the wall
opening (air inlet tube) to prevent insulation from coming in contact
with the air inlet tube. The barrier must not penetrate into the 7
1/2" (191mm) diameter wall opening. Place the flat surface of the
wall mounting bracket toward the wall. Insert half round flange of
wall mounting bracket into and at the top of the wall opening. The
half round flange of the wall mounting bracket must be in contact
with the sheetrock or wood at the top of the wall opening. Level
the wall mounting bracket in the wall opening.

from both ends of 4" (102mm) diameter flue outlet tube.
2. Remove old caulking beneath the edge of the outside mounting
plate. Apply new caulking beneath the edge of the outside
mounting plate. Use additional caulking to correct uneven wall
surface, such as clapboard.
3. Attach 6" (152mm) diameter air inlet tube onto the collar of
air drop assembly. Attach caulked, outside mounting plate into
the 6" (152mm) diameter air inlet tube. Position the outside
mounting plate so that 6" (152mm) diameter air inlet tube has
a slight downward slope to the outside. The downward slope
is necessary to prevent the entry of rainwater. Attach outside
mounting plate to exterior wall with (4) #10 x 1 1/2" (38mm)
screws provided.
4. Apply furnace cement to 4" (102mm) diameter flue outlet collar
on combustion chamber and to 4" (102mm) diameter collar on
vent cap. Attach 4" (102mm) diameter flue outlet tube onto flue
outlet collar on combustion chamber. Attach vent cap into the 4"
(102mm) diameter flue outlet tube. Attach vent cap to outside
mounting plate with (3) #10 x 1/2" (13mm) screws provided.
5. Reassembly and resealing vent-air intake system is
completed.
Installing a Vent Near a Window Ledge, Other Type of Projection
or on Vinyl Siding
Direct vent furnaces are designed to be installed on a uniform
outside wall. When the wind comes from any angle (up, down or
from either side), it must hit the vent cap equally over both the air
inlet and the flue outlet portions of the vent. Any wall projection,
such as a door or window casing, which disturbs the wind on one
side of the air inlet section will result in back pressure on the flue
section smothering the flame and eventual pilot outage.
When the vent cap is to be installed on vinyl siding or it appears that
a projection within 6" (152mm) of any side of the air inlet section
could shield the air inlet section, the entire vent should be supported
away from the wall at least the distance of the projection. 2" x 4"
(51mm x 102mm) framing whose outside dimensions match the
overall dimensions of the mounting plate is recommended. The 2"
x 4" (51mm x 102mm) framing protects vinyl siding from possible
warpage or discoloration. All joints can then be sealed and painted.
The wall depth plus the additional depth of the 2" x 4" (51mm x
102mm) framing should not exceed a total depth of 13" (330mm)
for DV-25 and DV-35. (See Figure 5)
Vinyl siding vent kit, DV-822, is available from Empire Comfort
Systems, Inc. The depth is 3" (76mm), which enables the vent cap
to be extended away from vinyl siding or projections. The wall
depth plus the additional 3" (76mm) depth of the vinyl siding vent
INSTALLATION INSTRUTIONS (continued)

12434-7-0706Page 10
cap extension should not exceed a total depth of 13" (330mm) for
DV-25 and DV-35. (See Figure 5a)
Warning: When vinyl siding vent kit, DV-822 or 2" x 4"
(51mm x 102mm) framing is added to an existing installation
(furnace is installed) do not attempt to add sections of pipe to
the flue outlet tube or air inlet tube. An air tight seal is required
for both tubes. Refer to Parts List, page 14 to order tubes.
Millivolt wall thermostats are specially designed for use on self-
generating systems. They should never be used on line or low
voltage A.C. circuits.
Interior Wall — The thermostat should be installed on an inside
wall away from the furnace but in the same room.
Note: Use 16 gauge wire to prevent excessive loss of millivolts.
Proper operation depends on a good pilot flame. The flame must
cover the top of the thermopile. Cleaning of the pilot orifice and
burner may be required due to spiders.
System Check (Figure 6)
A millivolt meter is required to check the system. Millivolt readings
should be:
• Across the thermopile terminals, 400-450 millivolts with
thermostat OFF.
• Across the thermopile terminals, 150-250 millivolts with
thermostat ON.
• Across the thermostat wires at the valve, less than 30 millivolts
with thermostat ON.
• Across the thermostat wires at the thermostat, less than 5 millivolts
with thermostat ON. (Strong winds, dirty pilot and low pressure
will reduce readings.)
Piezo Pilot Ignitor Instructions
Depressing the red button completely causes a spark to occur at
the pilot. This is a substitute for a match which requires opening
the pilot hole cover.
To light the pilot, it is important that the electrode be 1/8" (3mm)
from the thermopile. The spark must occur at the point the burner
flame hits the thermopile. The end of the electrode will be red hot
with the pilot on.
On a new installation with air in the gas line, it is suggested that a
match be used. The match will light the pilot faster than the piezo
under this condition.

The correct flame will be almost horizontal, blue and will extend
past the thermopile 1/4" (6mm). The flame will surround the
thermopile just below the tip.
On propane (LP-gas) slight yellow might occur where the pilot
flame and burner flame meet.
Natural gas pilots require adjusting when the inlet pressure is
above 5" w.c. (1.25kPa) Turn adjustment screw clockwise to
reduce flame.
Propane (LP-gas) will not require adjusting.
Figure 7
There will be a short blue inner flame with a much larger lighter
blue secondary flame. The burner flame may have a yellow tip when
hot. See the burner drawing showing the approximate heights of
each part of the flame. Dust in the combustion air will produce an
orange or red flame. Do not mistake the orange or red flame for
an improper yellow flame. After use, cleaning may be required for
the proper flame.
Figure 8
Primary Air Adjustment (Figure 9)
An air adjustment bolt is located on the chamber support bottom.
The four inch (102mm) clearance between the furnace and the floor
allows access to the air adjustment bolt. The air adjustment bolt is
above the rectangular opening on the inner casing bottom.
On Propane gas, if a whistling noise (resonation) occurs, screw
air adjustment bolt into the chamber support in order to reduce the
amount of primary air. If the whistling noise (resonation) is not
eliminated when the air adjustment bolt is screwed into the chamber
support this may indicate the air adjustment bolt is misaligned. Grasp
air adjustment bolt and pivot (push) air adjustment bolt away from
yourself. Observe the main burner flame as you push air adjustment
bolt and when the main burner flame begins to develop a yellow
flame, you should stop pushing on the air adjustment bolt. Screw
air adjustment bolt out of the chamber support until the yellow
flame on the main burner is eliminated. The air adjustment bolt
should now be properly aligned. The reduction in primary air
will soften the main burner flame and will eliminate the whistling
noise (resonation).
On Propane or Natural gas, if a yellow flame occurs, screw air
adjustment bolt out of the chamber support but do not completely
remove air adjustment bolt from chamber support. The repositioning
of the air adjustment bolt will increase the amount of primary air.
The increase in primary air will sharpen the main burner flame and
will eliminate the yellow flame.

Removing Main Burner
1. Disconnect the thermopile and pilot supply line at the pilot
burner.
2. Remove the burner compartment cover.
3. Remove orifice shield.
4. Remove bolt on each side of burner and lift out.
Cleaning Main Burner
The main burner may be cleaned by forcing water into the ports
and the throat of the burner. The main burner should be blown dry
or heated to remove water from main burner.
Removing Main Burner Orifice
1. Open the brass union located after the gas valve.
2. Loosen valve bracket.
3. Remove the 3/8" (10mm)manifold pipe that is attached to the
union elbow until the manifold pipe is free.
4. The main burner orifice is at the end of the manifold pipe.
Removing Pilot Orifice
1. Disconnect the pilot supply line at the pilot burner.
2. Remove pilot orifice from pilot burner. It may be necessary to
tap on pilot burner in order to remove the pilot orifice.
Cleaning Pilot Orifice
After use, cleaning of the pilot burner may be required for the proper
flame. Also, cleaning of the pilot burner may be required due to
spiders (spider webs). The pilot orifice can be cleaned with high
pressure air or by placing under running water. Pilot orifice must
be dry before replacement. Use a pipe cleaner to clean inside the
pilot after the pilot orifice has been removed.
Cleaning Combustion Chamber
When the main burner and vent cap are removed, all internal
areas of the combustion chamber are accessible for cleaning with
a vacuum hose.

Fan Control
The automatic fan control is located in the switch box. The switch
box is attached to the front of the blower assembly. The switch
box is adjacent to the combustion chamber. The fan control is a
non-adjustable automatic type. The fan control will require between
5 and 10 minutes of main burner operation before the fan control
"closes" and activates the blower. The blower will continue to run
between 5 and 10 minutes after the main burner shuts off, before
the fan control "opens" and deactivates the blower.
Wiring
The appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with
the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or Canadian Electrical
Code, CSA C22.1, if an external electrical source is utilized. This
appliance is equipped with a three-prong [grounding] plug for your
protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into
a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove
the grounding prong from this plug. For an ungrounded receptacle,
an adapter, which has two prongs and a wire for grounding, can
be purchased, plugged into the ungrounded receptacle and its
wire connected to the receptacle mounting screws. With this wire
completing the ground, the appliance cord plug can be plugged
into the adapter and be electrically grounded.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when
servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper
and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after
servicing.
WARNING:
Unplugging of blower accessory will not stop the heater
from cycling. To shut heater off: Turn temperature dial or
thermostat to lowest setting. Turn knob on gas control to
"OFF", depressing slightly. Do not force.

Cleaning
The blower wheel will collect lint and could require cleaning once
a year. If the air output decreases or the noise level increases,
it indicates a dirty wheel. Complete removal of the wheel and
scrubbing it with a brush under flowing water is recommended.
Oiling
The blower motor has an oil hole located on each end of the motor.
Use #20 motor oil only. It is best to oil the motor several times
during the heating season using 2 or 3 drops each time. If the motor
fails to start and hums, it could be a tight bearing due to lack of
oil. This may be corrected by pouring kerosene in the oil holes,
allowing to stand for a few hours and then oiling properly.
