Some people cannot smell well. Some people cannot smell
the odor of the chemical stench put into the gas. You must
findoutifyoucansmelltheodorantinpropane. Smokingcan
decrease your ability to smell. Being around an odor for a time
can affect your sensitivity or ability to detect that odor. Some-
times other odors in the area mask the gas odor. People may not
smell the gas odor or their minds are on something else. Think-
ing 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,themovementofthegas through soilcanfiltertheodorant.
Odorants in LP-Gas also are subject to oxidation. This fading

whentheremaynotbeaminutetolose,everyone'ssafetywill
depend on knowing exactly what to do. If, after reading the
followinginformation,you feelyoustill needmoreinforma-
tion, please contact your gas supplier.
Propane (LP-Gas) is a flammable gas which can cause fires
and explosions. In its natural state, propane is odorless and
colorless. Youmaynotknowallthefollowingsafetyprecau-
tions which can protect both you and your family from an
accident. Read them carefully now, then review them point
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-Gasmaystratifyinaclosedarea,andtheodorintensitycould
varyat different levels. Sinceit isheavier thanair, there maybe
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.
•LearntorecognizetheodorofLP-gas. YourlocalLP-Gas
Dealer can give you a "Scratch and Sniff" pamphlet. Use it
to find out what the propane odor smells like. If you suspect
thatyourLP-Gas hasaweakor abnormalodor,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. Ifyouarequalified,consciouslythinkabouttheodor
ofLP-Gas priorto andwhile lightingpilot lightsor 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
whichwill cause odorfade. If suchconditions aresuspected
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 snifftestof theLP-gas isagood 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
sameimmediateactionrecommendedabovefortheoccasion
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 immedi-
ately. Ifthecontainervalveislefton,thecontainermaydraw
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
turningitoffatthecontainerbeforeitgoescompletelyempty
or having it refilled before it is completely empty.
SAFETY INFORMATION FOR USERS OF LP-GAS
• Do not operate electric switches, light matches, use your
phone. Do not do anything that could ignite the gas.
• Geteveryoneoutofthebuilding,vehicle,trailer,orarea. 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.
• Useyourneighbor'sphoneandcallatrainedLP-Gasservice
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!

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 fromthe wallat least thedistance of theprojection. 2" x 4" (51mm
x 102mm) framing whose outside dimensions match the overall
dimensions of the mounting plate is recommended. The 2" x 4"
(51mmx102mm)framingprotectsvinylsidingfrompossiblewarpage
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 3)
Vinyl siding vent kit, DV-822, is available from Empire Comfort
Systems, Inc. The depth is 3" (76mm), which enables the vent cap
tobeextended awayfromvinylsidingor projections. Thewalldepth
plus the additional 3" (76mm) depth of the vinyl siding vent cap
extension should not exceed a total depth of 13" (330mm) for DV-25
and DV-35. (See Figure 3a)
Warning: Whenvinyl sidingventkit,DV-822or2"x4" (51mm

Gas Supply
Check all local codes for requirements, especially for the size and type
of gas supply line required. On Natural gas lines less than 15' (4.58m)
long, use 1/2" (13mm) pipe; on longer runs, use 3/4" (19mm) iron pipe
or equal. On LP gas lines please consult LP gas supplier.
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
disconnectedfrompipingatinletofcontrolvalve andpipecappedor
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
NationalFuelGasCodethatadriplinebeinstallednearthegasinlet. 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 4
Method of Installing a Tee Fitting Sediment Trap
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.
Pressure Testing of the Gas Supply System
1. To check the inlet pressure to the gas valve, a 1/8" (3mm) N.P.T.
pluggedtapping,accessiblefortestgaugeconnection, mustbeplaced
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
testingofthegassupplypipingsystemattestpressuresequaltoorless
than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
Attention! If one of the 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
BothPropaneandNaturalgasvalveshaveabuilt-inpressureregulatorin
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 6.0" w.c. (1.494kPa) for the
purpose of input adjustment to a maximum of 7.0" w.c. (1.743kPa)
Propane gas models will have a manifold pressure approximately 10.0"
w.c.(2.49kPa)atthevalveoutletwiththeinletpressuretothevalvefrom
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).
A1/8"(3mm)N.P.T.pluggedtapping,accessiblefortestgaugeconnection,
is located on the outlet side of the gas control.
High Altitudes
For altitudes/elevations above 2,000 feet (610m), input ratings should
be reduced at the rate of 4 percent for each 1,000 (305m) feet above sea
level. Canadian High Altitudes for locations having an elevation
abovemeansealevelbetween2,000feet(610m)and4,500feet(1370m),

w.c. (1.992kPa) for Propane Gas.
Piezo Pilot Ignitor Instructions
Depressingtheredbuttoncompletelycausesasparktooccuratthepilot.
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
thethermopile. Theendoftheelectrodewillberedhotwiththepiloton.
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.
Primary Air Adjustment (Figure 5)
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
mayindicate theairadjustmentboltismisaligned. Graspairadjustment

systems. Theyshouldneverbeusedonline 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
thetop of the thermopile. Cleaning of the pilot orifice and burnermaybe
required due to spiders.
System Check (Figure 8)
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.)
Figure 8
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.
Proper Pilot Flame (Figure 6)
Thecorrect flame will be almost horizontal,blueandwill extend past the
thermopile 1/4" (6mm). The flame will surround the thermopile just
below the tip.

Cleaning
The blower wheel will collect lint and could require cleaning once a
year. Iftheair outputdecreasesorthenoiselevelincreases, 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.
