IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

32193-3-0514Page 4
SAFETY INFORMATION FOR USERS OF LP-GAS
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 ac-
cident. 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.
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!
• 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.
NO ODOR DETECTED - ODOR FADE
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.
SOME POINTS TO REMEMBER
• 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.

Figure 1
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!
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.

32193-3-0514Page 8
The furnace is to be located on an outside wall. Locate wall studs
so that wall opening will be located between wall studs. One wall
stud can be used for attachment of inside wall plate. The wall
opening required as shown in Figure 3 is a minimum diameter
of 6 1/4 (159mm) inches. The inside wall plate and the outside
wall plate are large enough to permit a wall opening diameter of 8
inches (203mm).
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
Installing Inside Wall Plate
After the wall opening has been located and cut, center and level
inside wall plate in wall opening. The collar on the inside wall
plate is to be placed within the wall opening. On solid wall or wall
stud, attach inside wall plate with (6) #10 x 1 1/2" (38mm) screws
provided. On sheet rock wall, by using wall opening for access,
attach inside wall plate with (6) #10 x 1 1/2" (38mm) screws and
(6) Tinnerman nuts provided.
Attaching Furnace To Inside Wall Plate
Align and attach mounting clips on furnace back with mounting slots
on inside wall plate. The furnace support bracket located at furnace
bottom is to be secured to wall. On solid wall, secure furnace support
bracket with (1) #10 x 1 1/2" (38mm) screw provided. On sheet rock
wall, secure furnace support bracket with (1) toggle bolt provided.

CLEARANCES
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. In selecting a location for installation, it is necessary to provide
adequate accessibility clearances for servicing and proper
installation.
2. Although certied for 0 clearance to the oor , the unit is held in
place by a wall bracket. Enough clearance [2" (51mm) suggested]
to allow changing or adding oor covering is recommended.
Other clearances to combustible construction:
Sides 1" (25mm) and 12" (305mm) from the top.
3. Note the position of the vent relative to the center of the unit.
The DV-210 has the vent in the center. The DV-215 vent is 2"
(51mm) off center to the right.
4. The minimum distance from the center of the outside vent to
the nearest outside corner or obstruction is 16" (406mm).
5. The DV-210/DV-215 minimum wall depth is 4 1/2" (114mm)
and maximum wall depth is 13" (330mm). The use of tubes not
supplied by the manufacturer result in unsatisfactory performance.
The vent terminal of a direct vent appliance, with an input of 10,000
Btu per hour (3 kW) or less shall be located at least 6" (150mm)
from any air opening into a building, and such an appliance with an
input over 10,000 Btu per hour (3 kW) but not over 50,000 Btu per
hour (14.7 kW) shall be installed with a 9" (229mm) vent terminal
clearance and 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) feet (1.8m) from any pressure regulator.
In case of regulator malfunction, the six feet (1.8m) distance will
reduce the chance of gas entering the vent cap.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
Cutting Vent Tubes
This is the most important part of the installation. With the furnace
installed on wall the 5" (127mm) diameter air inlet tube and 3"
(76mm) diameter ue outlet tube are to be marked and cut using
the following procedure.
1. Attach 5" (127mm) diameter air inlet tube onto the collar of air drop
assembly. Be sure 5" (127mm) diameter air inlet tube is placed
as far as possible onto the collar of the air drop assembly. Mark
the 5" (127mm) diameter air inlet tube 1/2" (13mm) beyond the
outside wall. Remove 5" (127mm) diameter air inlet tube from
collar of air drop assembly.
2. Attach 3" (76mm) diameter ue outlet tube onto ue outlet collar
on combustion chamber. Be sure 3" (76mm) diameter ue outlet
tube is placed as far as possible onto the collar of ue outlet.
Mark the 3" (76mm) diameter ue outlet tube 2" (51mm) beyond
the outside wall. Remove 3" (76mm) diameter ue outlet tube
from collar of ue outlet on combustion chamber.
3. Mark or wrap tape completely around the tubes at the marked
points to help in making a true cut. Do not crimp or enlarge tubes.
Installing The Vent Assembly
1. Place caulking (not provided) beneath the edge of the outside
wall plate. Use additional caulking to correct uneven wall surface,
such as clapboard.
2. Attach 5" (127mm) diameter air inlet tube onto the collar of air
drop assembly. Attach caulked, outside wall plate into the 5"
(127mm) diameter air inlet tube. Position the outside wall plate
so that 5" (127mm) 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 wall plate to exterior wall
with (4) #10 x 1 1/2" (38mm) screws provided.
3. Apply furnace cement to 3" (76mm) diameter ue outlet collar
on combustion chamber and to 3" (76mm) diameter collar on
vent cap. Attach 3" (76mm) diameter ue outlet tube onto ue
outlet collar on combustion chamber. Attach vent cap into the
3" (76mm) diameter ue outlet tube. Attach vent cap to outside
wall plate with (3) #10 x 1/2" (13mm) screws provided.
4. Installation is completed.
Reassembly And Resealing Vent-Air Intake System
When vent-air intake system is removed for servicing the furnace,
the following steps will assure proper reassembly and resealing of
the vent-air intake assembly.
1. Remove old furnace cement from ue outlet collar on combustion
chamber and collar of vent cap. Remove old furnace cement
from both ends of 3" (76mm) diameter ue outlet tube.
2. Remove old caulking beneath the edge of the outside wall plate.
Apply new caulking beneath the edge of the outside wall plate.
Use additional caulking to correct uneven wall surface, such as
clapboard.
3. Attach 5" (127mm) diameter air inlet tube onto the collar of air
drop assembly. Attach caulked, outside wall plate into the 5"
(127mm) diameter air inlet tube. Position the outside wall plate
so that 5" (127mm) 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 wall plate to exterior wall
with (4) #10 x 1" (25mm) screws provided.
4. Apply furnace cement to 3" (76mm) diameter ue outlet collar
on combustion chamber and to 3" (76mm) diameter collar on
vent cap. Attach 3" (76mm) diameter ue outlet tube onto ue
outlet collar on combustion chamber. Attach vent cap into the
3" (76mm) diameter ue outlet tube. Attach vent cap to outside
wall 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 Siding (vinyl, aluminum, etc.)
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 ue 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 ue
section smothering the ame and eventual pilot outage.
When the vent cap is to be installed on 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 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-210/
DV-215. (See Figure 5)
(51mmx102mm)
Figure 5
Figure 5a
Vinylsidingventkit, DV-822,isavailable fromEmpireComfortSystems,
Inc. The depth is 3" (76mm), which enables the vent cap to be extended
away from siding or projections. The wall depth plus the additional 3"
(76mm) depth of the vinyl siding vent cap extension should not exceed
a total depth of 13" (330mm) for DV-210/DV-215. (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 ue outlet
tube or air inlet tube. An air tight seal is required for both tubes.
Refer to Parts List, page 14 to order tubes.

These heating thermostats are specially designed for use on self-
generating systems. They should never be used on line or low
voltage A.C. circuits.
Exterior Wall — The thermostat may be mounted on an exterior
wall above the heater if it is located in the same stud space as
the vent tubes and is a minimum of 6" (152mm) above the heater.
Interior Wall — The thermostat should be installed on an inside
wall away from the unit but in the same room.
Note: Use 16 gauge wire to prevent excessive loss of millivolts.
Proper operation depends on a good pilot ame. The ame must
cover the top of the thermopile. Cleaning of the pilot orice and
burner may be required due to spiders.
System Check
A millivolt meter is required to check the system. The 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.)
OPTIONAL THERMOSTAT LOCATION
Piezo Pilot Ignitor Instructions
Depressing the piezo ignitor 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
ame 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.
To Conserve Gas: Turn off pilot when heater is not in use.

On the main burner, the burning gas forms a primary ame and a
secondary ame. The primary ame is blue and about 3/16" (5mm)
high. The secondary ame is very pale blue, 3 inches (76mm) to
5 inches (127mm) high. Dust in the combustion air will produce
an orange ame. Do not mistake it for an improper yellow ame.
Figure 8
Steps in Removing Main Burner, Orice and Valve
1. Disconnect the thermopile and pilot supply line at the pilot burner.
2. Remove the burner compartment cover 5/16" (8mm) socket
suggested.
3. Remove screw holding left side of burner and lift out.
4. Main burner orice is now accessible. Use 1/2" (13mm) box end
wrench to remove and apply non-hardening pipe dope sparingly
to orice threads when replaced.
5. To remove the entire gas valve the nut holding the orice tting
to the chamber must be removed and the gas supply to the
valve disconnected. After this, the valve and orice elbow can
be removed as a unit.
Cleaning The Pilot Burner
Cleaning of the pilot may be an annual necessity due to spiders.
After removing the supply tubing and orice, use a pipe cleaner or
wire to clean the entire internal part of the pilot.
Cleaning the Combustion Chamber and Main Burner
When the main burner and vent cap are removed, all internal areas of
the combustion chamber are accessible for cleaning with a vacuum
hose. The main burner may be cleaned by forcing water into the
ports and the throat of the burner. The burner should be blown dry
or heated to dry all water out before reinstalling.
The pilot ame is blue and goes toward the main burner and thermopile
horizontally. A slight yellow tip on the ame is normal. The pilot
ame must surround and extend approximately 1/4" (6mm) beyond
the thermopile, and must extend beyond the rst row toward the
second row of main burner ports.

OPTIONAL BLOWER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
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 screw. With this wire
completing the ground, the appliance cord plug can be plugged
into the adapter and be electrically grounded. A 7/8" (22mm) hole
is provided in the junction box for use with a conduit connector if
local codes require this type of protection.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servic-
ing 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: 1. Turn the temperature dial to lowest
setting, then turn thermostat to off. 2. Turn knob on gas control
to off, depressing slightly. Do not force.

Oiling the Motor
Oiling holes are provided on each end of the motor for oiling. The
blower should have ve drops of #20 motor oil every 6 months.
Do not use machine oil.
Cleaning the Blower Wheel
In some areas, such as near bedrooms and on oors with a hard
surface, the blower wheel will be lled with lint very quickly. A visual
check of the blower wheel should be made after 30 days use. The
blower will run faster with a dirty wheel, but move less air. Remove
the entire blower and clean each blade of the wheel with a tooth
brush as often as necessary.
