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.
Samples, 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 on (Page 5).
Unpacking The Fireplace
1. Remove the outer boards/crate by removing screws.
2. Cut away shrink-wrap material around the unit. Retain
instruction manual and instruction sheets.
3. Remove (2) screws securing unit to pallet.
4. Get help to lift unit off of the pallet using the handles.
5. Remove non-combustible board from the pallet and place in
a safe location. It will be needed for installation.
6. Logs may remain in unit until installation in wall. Instruction
sheet from step #2 shows how to remove barrier screen and
glass door.

BEFORE YOU START
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 through
the back of the unit. Once the replace is framed in, it takes up
to an hour.
TrueFlame Technology
This replace is equipped with TrueFlame Technology for maximum
ames and ember glow with minimum emissions. The system
includes independently controlled front and rear burners set into a
large ember bed plus a ceramic catalyst and externally adjustable
bafe mounted at the top. Once adjusted by the dealer/technician at
installation, the TrueFlame system requires no scheduled service.
Preparation
This fireplace 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 side entrance
• Electrical supply and connections
• 120V, 60Hz, 1 Amp
• Right side entrance
• Allowable replace mounting surfaces:
• A at, hard, combustible or non-combustible surface
• A raised platform of combustible or non-combustible material.
• 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 fireplace 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 28-31) 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 side entrance) – see pipe size and
specs on (Page 15).
• Electrical supply requirements
(120V, 60Hz, 1 Amp) (right side entrance)
• Proper framing required for installation of the replace.
See framing dimensions on (Page 18).
• Finishing the fireplace – 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 Page 19) for nishing
details, before you begin.
