Heater Placement Requirements
•Heater must be installed on a level surface capable of supporting the heater and vent
•Due to the high temperature of the heater, it should be located out of traffic and away from
furniture and draperies. Heater must be placed so no combustibles are within, or can swing within
36”of the front of the heater (e.g. drapes, doors)
?When placed in a location where the floor to ceiling height is under 7 feet, the installation is
considered an alcove and must meet the following requirements:
•The alcove floor to ceiling height must be at least 60”tall
•The alcove must not be more than 48”deep before the ceiling returns to 7’
•The alcove must be at least 48”wide
•The heater must not be placed so the vents below or above the door, along the sides of heater, or
along the back of the heater can become blocked.
•This heater may be placed in a bedroom. Please be aware of the large amount of heat this
appliance produces when determining a location.
Floor Protection Requirements
•When the stove is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl or other combustible material other than

Vent Requirements
!Always maintain the required 1”clearance (air space) to combustible materials to prevent a fire hazard.
Do not fill air spaces with insulation.
!The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building, and never
be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance. Each direct vent gas
appliance must use it’s own separate vent system.
•This appliance is equipped only for
altitudes 0-2000 feet. However, our
in-house testing has shown that the
unit operated at altitudes to 8000 ft.
!Failure to adjust the air shutter
properly may lead to improper
combustion which can create a safety
hazard. Consult your dealer or
installer if you suspect an improperly
adjusted air shutter.
•When the vent passes through a wall,
a wall thimble is required. When the
vent passes through a ceiling, a
support box or firestop is required.
When the vent passes through the
roof, a roof flashing and storm collar
are required. Follow the instructions
provided with the vent (from
Duravent®) for installing these items.

Finalizing the Installation
!Turn the gas control valve to “OFF”prior to conducting any service.
1Open the door (see page 16).
2Install the log set and coals (see page 17).
!We recommend you purge the gas line at this time (with the door open). This allows gas to be
detected once it enters the firebox, ensuring gas does not build up.
3Close and secure the door (see page 16).
4Turn on gas to the heater. Leak test all gas joints prior to starting the appliance. Start the pilot. Start
the main burner. Leak test all gas joints again.
5Check the pilot flame to make sure it looks like the illustration below. Adjust the pilot flame if
necessary.
Standard
Screwdriver
The pilot flame must contact the thermocouple and
thermopile (see the illustration below). Adjust the pilot up or
down as necessary.
To adjust the pilot flame, turn this screw (NOTE: if totally
unscrewed gas will come out of this port). Clockwise
lowers the flame while counter-clockwise raises it.
6Let the heater burn
for fifteen minutes.
Adjust the air
shutters, if
necessary, to
achieve the correct
looking flame (see
the illustration
below).
•The air shutter
adjusts the amount
of air that mixes with
the gas before it
exits the burner
holes.
ADJUSTING THE AIR SHUTTERS
Follow the directions below to adjust the front
and rear air shutter independently.
Swing the
left side
door open.
NOTE: If the air control is all the way in, yet the flames remain
sooty, shut off gas to the fireplace and contact a qualified gas
service technician.
Correct
Flames should be blue at the
base, yellow-orange on the top. If the flames are over 12" tall or sooty
on the ends, push the air control in. If the flames are all blue and short, pull the air control out.
Not Enough Air Too Much Air
NOTE: The logs must be installed correctly to
monitor the flame while adjusting the air shutter.
Loosen the nut two turns.
Slide the air shutter rod in or out.
Tighten the nut to
secure the shutter.

FINE TUNING THE EMBER-FYRE™BURNER
Each installation is affected by altitude, vent configuration, and fuel quality. Because of this, the restrictor and air
shutter may need to be fine tuned to each installation. Follow the hints below to fine-tune the burner for
optimum performance and aesthetics.
Restrictor Hints:
Set the restrictor to the position suggested in the vent configuration table (pages 10-12). Turn the heater on
and allow it to reach full temperature (15 min.). If the flames indicate there is excessive draft due to altitude or
climate, you may wish to adjust the restrictor to a more restrictive position (higher number). Active, flickering
short flames are an indication of excessive draft. If the flames lift off of the burner holes, this indicates not
enough draft (restrictor is set too high). After adjustments are made the unit must be cooled down to room
temperature and restarted to make sure that the restriction is not so severe that the pilot will drop out when it is
restarted. If the pilot does drop out reduce the restriction until it will operate continuously.
Air Shutter Hints:
• For more glow, open the air shutter, however, this will make the flames more blue.
• For yellow flames, close the air shutter, however, this may create less glow.
The flames should burn right
off the top of the burner ports
(if they are too blue, adjust
the air control).
Lifting flames indicate
insufficient draft (restrictor
is set too high).
Burner Burner Ports
(holes)
Ghosting flames indicate
insufficient air (restrictor set too
high, air shutter shut down, or
other venting error).

Ghosting Flames Flickering Flames
Flickering, short flames
indicate excessive draft
(move air shutter to a higher
position).
Warning: If the vent configuration is installed incorrectly the vent may cause the flames inside the heater to lift or
“ghost”–a dangerous situation. Inspect the flames after installation to insure proper performance. If the
vent configuration is correct, yet the flames are lifting or ghosting, shut off gas to the heater and contact
the dealer for information on remedying the problem.
7Turn the flame adjust knob to its highest position - the flames should be a maximum 10”to 12”tall.
Check the flame on low position. The flames should burn off of each burner hole. If the heater does
not work correctly, contact your dealer for a remedy.
8 Give this manual to the home owner and fully explain the operation of this heater.
