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 precau­tions which can protect both you and your family from an
accident. Read them carefully now, then review them point

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.

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

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.

• 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.

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. 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 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 container 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.

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!

NOTE: The millivolt gas controls are equipped with a captured
screw type pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to provide
a 1/8" test point up stream of the control.

When using copper or ex connector use only approved ttings.

The appliance and it’s individual shut off valve must be disconnected

from supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system
at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).

The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system
by closing its individual manual shut off valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or
less than 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).

Attention! If one of the procedures results in pressures in excess

of 1/2 psig (14" w.c.) (3.5 kPa) on the replace gas valve, it will

result in a hazardous condition.

Checking Manifold Pressures

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 3.5" w.c. (.871kPa) at the valve outlet
with the inlet pressure to the valve from a minimum of 4.5" w.c.
(1.120kPa) for the purpose of input adjustment to a maximum of

14.0" w.c. (3.484kPa). 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 10.8" w.c.
(2.68kPa) for the purpose of input adjustment to a maximum of

14.0" w.c. (3.484kPa).

Framing dimension "A" includes a six inch clearance for

standoffs on rebox. After installing rebox into framing,
the nished wall surface must cover the six inch opening
above the rebox.

Attention: If a base or mantel is not used and the appliance is
installed directly on carpeting, tile or other combustible material

other than wood ooring, it shall be installed on a metal or wood

panel extending the full width and depth of the appliance. The
vertical dimension in Figure 11 must be adjusted when a metal or
wood panel is placed beneath the appliance.

Finishing (Figures 12 and 13)

Finish the walls with the material of your choice. Figure 3 on
page 8 shows the minimum vertical and corresponding maximum
horizontal dimensions of mantels or other combustible projections

above the top front edge of the replace.

Only non-combustible materials may be used to cover the black

replace front.

Warning: When nishing the replace never obstruct or

modify the air inlet/outlet louvers in any manner. Provide
adequate clearances around air openings into the combustion
chamber.

Caution: If the joints between the nished wall and the replace

surround (top and sides) are sealed, a 300°F minimum sealant
material must be used. These joints are not required to be sealed.
Only non-combustible material (using 300°F minimum adhesive if

needed), can be applied as facing to the replace surround.

Flush Wall Installation

Attention: Cold climate installation recommendation:
When installing this unit against a non-insulated exterior
wall, it is recommended that the outer walls be insulated to
conform to applicable insulation codes.

Vent Runs (Figures 14, 15, and 16)

In planning the installation for the replace, it is necessary to install

certain components before the appliance is completely positioned
and installed. These include the direct vent system, gas piping for the
appliance and the electrical wiring. (If the fan option is used.)

The appliance can be mounted on any of the following surfaces:

1. A at, hard combustible (burnable) surface.

2. A raised wooden platform.

3. Four (4) corner supports. (Example: Four (4) concrete masonry

blocks.) These supports must be positioned so they contact all
four (4) perimeter edges on the bottom of the unit.

To Use the Vent Graph (Figure 17)

1. Determine the height of the center of the horizontal vent
pipe. Using this dimension on the Sidewall Vent Graph,
locate the point it intersects with the slanted graph
line.

2. From the point of this intersection, draw a vertical line
to the bottom of the graph.

3. Select the indicated dimension, and position the unit in
accordance with same.

EXAMPLE A:

If the vertical dimension from the oor of the unit is 35
feet, the horizontal run to the outer wall ange must not

exceed 6.5 feet.

EXAMPLE B:

If the vertical dimension from the oor of the unit is 6.5
feet, the horizontal run to the outer wall ange must not

exceed 14.5 feet.

Special Note: For each 45 degree elbow installed in the
horizontal run, the length of the horizontal run MUST be
reduced by 18" (45cm). This does not apply if the 45 degree
elbows are installed on the vertical part of the vent system.
Reduce 3' for every 90° elbow.

Example: According to the chart the maximum horizontal
vent length is 20' and if two 45 degree elbows are required
in the horizontal vent it must be reduced to 17'.

The maximum number of 45 degree elbows permitted per
side wall installation is two (2). These elbows can be installed
in either the vertical or horizontal run.

Note: On vertical venting the rst elbow does not get

counted.

Below Grade Installation

When it is not possible to meet the required vent terminal clearances
of 12" (305mm) above grade level, a snorkel kit is recommended.
It allows installation depth down to 7" (178mm) below grade level.
The 7" (178mm) is measured from the center of the horizontal vent
pipe as it penetrates through the wall.

Ensure the sidewall venting clearances are observed. If venting
system is installed below ground, we recommend a window well
with adequate and proper drainage to be installed around the
termination area.

Positioning the Fireplace

Determine the exact position of the appliance so the direct vent
termination will be centered (if possible) between two (2) studs. This
will avoid any extra framing. All vent kit pipes should be assembled

on the unit after the unit is moved into the nal position.

Cutting the Hole (Figures 21)

After the replace has been positioned in its permanent location,

the hole through the exterior wall of the house can be cut. This hole
must be 12" (305mm) high x 10" (254mm) wide with its center line
determined by the amount of vertical rise and horizontal run of the
termination. See Figure 21. When locating the hole it must be noted
that the bottom of the cap must be 12" (305mm) above the ground
level, and top of the cap must be no less than 18" (457mm) below
a combustible projection, and no closer than 9" (229mm) to any
wall running parallel to vent termination. See Figure 22.

Parts Verication

See parts list on page 20 to verify components included in this vent
kit prior to installation.

NOTE: If installing onto wood, lap, or vinyl siding, the vinyl siding
kit should be used (sold separately, part number DV-822).

The 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 cap
extension should not exceed a total depth of 13 3/4” (349mm).

Figure 27

If wall depth exceeds 13 3/4” (349mm), extend system using
6 5/8” (168mm) x 4” (102mm) rigid venting (See Fireplace Instruc­tions for approved lengths) See Figure 28.

Installing Wall Thimble/Firestop Assembly

1. Fix replace to permanent location. If using rigid venting system,

install up to the location where it will exit the building.

2. Cut hole in wall for wall thimble/restop assembly into your

combustible wall. See Figure 27. Note: On brick or block
exterior wall a 7” (178mm) diameter hole needs to be cut.

Measure the total wall thickness to determine whether or not the

extension thimble is to be used. If the combustible wall depth
is over 5 3/8” (137mm), then the extension thimble should be
used. See Figure 27.

3. Install the wall thimble assembly through the framed open-

ing so the restop plate is on the interior wall. See Figure 27.

Telescope section should extend all the way through the exterior
wall. Attach with (4) 10 x 1” screws.

4. When placing the vent cap on an exterior wall covered with
combustibles such as wood, lap, or vinyl siding, install the
vinyl siding kit to the exterior wall sheathing.

Cutting Vent Tubes

This is the most important part of the installation. With the

replace (and the rigid venting system if used) xed to its perma­nent location, the 6 5/8” (168mm) diameter air inlet tube and the 4”

(102mm) diameter ue outlet tube are to be marked and cut using

the following procedure.

5. Attach the inlet tube to the outside mounting plate. Align
tinnerman clips on the tabs of the air inlet tube to the holes on

outside mounting plate, and x with (2) #10 x 1/2” screws.

6. With the vinyl siding kit installed to wall (if necessary), insert
the 6 5/8” (168mm) diameter tube with outside mounting plate

attached through hole in wall. Connect to collar on replace or

rigid vent system. Measure between wall or vent cap extension
and outside mounting plate (Figures 29 and 30).

DVVK-4RE VENT KIT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

Follow correct option according to venting method.

Connecting Directly to Fireplace

If the air inlet and ue outlet tubes are to be connected directly to

the unit (no rigid venting system is being used), then the gasket

provided must be used to seal the 4” (102mm) ue outlet tube.

Peel the paper off the self-adhesive gasket and then wrap it around
the end of the tube (if tube was cut, it is recommended to use cut
end) as shown in Figure 31. Pull the gasket tight at all times while
wrapping it around tube. The gasket ends should align, to form a
complete seal. The overlapped section should NOT come in con­tact with the seam in the tube. Apply high temperature sealant to
the opposite end of the tube (on the inside of the tube). The end
with the gasket will attach to the back of the unit. Continue with
Step 13.

WARNING

Always maintain minimum clearances around vent systems. The minimum clearance to combustibles for horizontal runs of vent pipe

is 3 inches from the top, and 1 inch from the sides and bottom of the vent system. Do not pack the open air spaces around the replace
or ue with insulation or other materials. Any horizontal run must have a 1/4” rise for every one (1) foot of run towards the vent ter-

mination. The vent above the roof must terminate vertically.

WARNING

Contact your Local Building and Fire Ofcials about restrictions and installation inspections in your area.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

• The vertical termination cap MUST be vented directly to the

outside. The termination kit MUST NEVER be connected to
a chimney ue(s) servicing a separate solid-fuel burning ap­pliance or any other appliances.

• Vertical termination cap MUST NOT be mounted horizon­tally.

• The exible vent pipe cannot be intermingled with any of the

rigid vent pipe section(s). DO NOT connect two sections of

exible vent pipe together to achieve a longer length without

the use of approved connectors.

• The installation must conform with local codes or in the ab­sence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1 (in the United States) or with the current installation
code CAN/CGA B149 (in Canada).

• Only Direct Vent replaces approved for use with Empire

Comfort Systems, Inc. DVVK-4FV termination kit shall be
used. See PARTS LIST/ILLUSTRATIONS section for vent

component identication.

Refer to your replace homeowner’s manual for the minimum and maximum venting requirement of your replace prior to installa­tion. Failure to do so may cause a re hazard.

WARNING

This exible pipe termination kit is ONLY for vertical terminations.

WARNING

Any horizontal run section must have a 1/4” rise for every one (1) foot of run towards the vent termination. Never allow the vent pipe
to run downward. This could cause high temperatures and may present a re hazard. This vertical kit may incorporate two (2) 90 de­gree bends, but must terminate vertically.

CAUTION

This ex vent kit can only be installed vertically off of the unit and must terminate vertically.

WARNING

Because of sharp edges, always use gloves when handling the ex vent components.

CAUTION

Vent connections should overlap a minimum of 1” for proper sealing.

Always stretch and secure venting with metal strapping secured with nails (nails and strapping not supplied) to ensure that the ex

vent runs remain true.

Step-By-Step Installation For Flex DV Kit

1. Unpack vent components and check all items for shipping
damage.

2. For this venting system to operate as designed it is depen­dent on the use of all parts and procedures detailed in these
instructions. Failure to follow these instructions may poten­tially affect the performance of this vent system and the at­tached appliance.

3. As per the replace manufacturer’s instructions, replace the
existing 6 5/8” diameter replace vent adapter with the 7”
diameter ex vent replace adapter included in the vent kit.

Install the adapter collar with the screws removed from the
standard replace collar. Refer to the replace manual for ad­ditional information on the vent collar removal and installa­tion.

4. Once the replace location has been determined, mark the
ceiling where the ex vent will pass through. Cut an opening
for installation of the restop thimble assembly. The open-

ing must measure a minimum of 9-1/2” x 9-1/2” square. See
Figure 32.

5. Next, determine the location for the cutout in the roof open­ing. This opening must be large enough to provide a mini­mum 1” air space clearance from the vertical vent pipe to any
combustible framing.

6. Install the Firestop/Thimble assembly to the framed opening
in the ceiling using common nails or screws.
Note: The thimble assembly is adjustable up or down as

needed within the restop. It is also designed with a pivoting
restop for use with 0 - 3/12 pitch cathedral ceilings.

7. To begin vent system assembly, rst layout all the vent com­ponents on the oor in the order in which they will be as-

sembled.

8. Stretch the 4” diameter inner ex ue and 7” diameter outer
ex vent to the maximum length of 6 feet.

9. Install the spring spacers provided around the 4” diameter

ex ue at 1 foot intervals, then slide the ue pipe with spac­ers into the 7” diameter outer ex vent pipe. Make sure the
springs are spaced evenly starting at 12 inches from the re-

place collar. See Figure 33.

10. With the ex vent assembly and the 48” long hard pipe
components laid out on the oor, begin securing these parts

together. First, apply a generous bead of silicone sealant to

the inside of the 4” diameter ex ue (not the end with the
pre-installaed connector), then slide the ex ue over the 4”
diameter hard pipe ue. Be sure to overlap at least 1-1/4”. Se-

cure this connection with a 4” diameter band clamp provided.

Be careful not to damage or tear the ex ue when tightening

clamp.

11. Repeat the connection process for the outer 7” diameter ex

vent to hard pipe connection. Use silicone sealant at this joint
also, overlap at least 1-1/4”, then secure the joint with the 7”
diameter band clamp provided. Be careful not to damage or

tear the ex vent pipe when tightening the clamp.

12. While the venting is still on the oor, assemble the roof jack

components as shown in Figure 34 and pre-install the roof
jack assembly to the hard pipe approximately 18” from the
top end of the hard pipe.

13. Now the pre-assembled vent system may be carried to the
roof, then lowered through the roof cutout opening (see step

5). Feed the ex vent end down through the roof opening and
restop/thimble assembly installed in steps 4 through 6.

14. Secure the roof support assembly to the roof sheathing with
at least (4) nails/screws through each support bracket. Check
that the combustible clearances through the roof framing will
maintain at least a 1” clearance from the vent pipe.

15. Determine how high the vent terminal should be located
above the roof line based on the roof pitch information shown
in Figure 36. Adjust the vent system height by loosening the
pre-installed roof support pipe clamp and sliding the vent
pipe up or down as pre-determined, then re-tighten the pipe
clamp. Install a couple of sheet metal screws through the pipe
clamp into the outer hard vent pipe to lock in place.

16. Check to make sure that the bottom end of the ex vent is
long enough to reach the replace adapter collars. If too long,
trim off the extra ex vent not needed.

17. To attach the vent connections at the replace, be sure the 7”

diameter adapter collar has been installed per step 3. Apply

a bead of silicone sealant to the 4” diameter ex connector,
then slide the ex pipe adapter collar into the replace ue

collar and secure by installing a minimum of two (2) screws

through the ue collar and into the adapter. See Figure 37.

18. Apply sealant to the 7” diameter adapter collar, slide outer

ex vent over the collar, then secure with a 7” diameter band

clamp. See Figure 37.

19. Once the lower connections are made and the ex pipe is

secured with support bands as required (3 feet minimum be-

tween supports) then the roof ashing can be installed. See
Figure 38.

20. Install the roof ashing, and seal using common construc­tions practices.

21. An additional storm collar band is provided in kit that may be
used as an attic insulation shield. The collar can be installed

around the ex pipe (or hard pipe) just above the restop

thimble. This collar will act as a shield to prevent blown in­sulation from entering the thimble.

22. To complete the vent installation, install the vent termination

cap to the top of the hard vent pipe assembly. Mate up the ue

and outer telescopes with the hard pipe assembly, then secure
by installing a minimum of two (2) sheet metal screws into

the overlapped anges of the cap and pipe.

23. Figure 39 shows a completed installation with components

identied and other installation information such as heights

and clearance to combustibles.

DVVK-4F FLEX VENT INSTRUCTIONS

The DVVK-4F FLEX VENT KIT includes the following components:

• (1) Horizontal Termination Cap

• (1) 4-foot section of Flex vent with spacers (4" ue/7" outer

pipe)

• (1) 4" dia. Flue adapter collar

Flex venting can only be installed vertically off of the ADVX Series replaces. When installing a horizontal vent run from top connections,

maintain at least ½" rise for every 12" of vent run. Refer to Figure 52 when mounting termination near vinyl siding.

CAUTION: Always stretch and secure venting with wire or metal strapping to ensure that the horizontal runs do not sag.
If space permits, it is generally easier to attach venting in the top vent conguration.
Because of sharp edges, always use gloves when handling the ex vent components.

Vent connections should overlap a minimum of 1" for proper sealing.
Always follow the general venting requirements for vent terminal location, vent lengths, and clearance to combustible materials.

• (1) 7" dia. Outer Vent adapter collar

• (1) Wall Firestop/Thimble Assembly

• Hardware pack that includes band clamps and screws

INSTALLATION

1. Unpack vent components and check that all items are included.

2. Check to see that the vent spacer springs are located around the ue

vent at 8" and 12" intervals along its length. See Figure 40. If not,
stretch the spacer springs to about 15" long and wrap them around

the ue, then interlock the ends of each spring about 2". See Figure

41. Maintain equal distance between spring spacers.

Figure 40

attaching the vent end connectors.

8. Attach the Termination Cap to the outside of the house.

9. Prior to making the vent connections, apply high temperature sealant
(1000 degree F min.) to the vent connections before securing with

the band clamps provided. Note: The flue pipe end without the
adapter is to be installed to the Termination Cap.

10. Apply sealant to the outside of the flue pipe adapter and connect
to the flex flue pipe. Then insert the adapter into the fireplace flue.
Secure flue adapter to the fireplace flue with a minimum of two
screws provided. See Figure 42.

11. Attach the Outer Vent pipe to the 7" dia. Collar on the fireplace with a
large band clamp provided. Sealant may also be used on the outer vent
connections.

12. Check all vent connections for tightness. Make sure horizontal
venting has the proper rise and combustible clearances required.
Refer to venting charts in fireplace instruction manual.

Figure 41

3. Remove the 6-⅝" dia. Vent collar from the fireplace. Replace this
collar with the 7" dia. Flex Vent adapter collar provided with the
vent kit.

4. Slide the Flex Vent flue pipe into the Outer Flex Vent pipe.

5. Install the Wall Firestop/Thimble assembly as required through the
wall. Refer to the venting charts in the fireplace manual to determine
the proper height and size of the vent opening. The minimum
opening should be 9" wide by 11" high. The minimum combustible
clearance from the horizontal vent is 1" from sides and bottom, and
3" above the vent pipe. See Figure 43.

6. In most cases, after determining the length of the vent that is
needed, it may be easier to install the flue and outer vent pipes to
the Termination Cap first, then from the outside, feed the venting
through the wall to the fireplace.

7. If the venting is to long, trim off any excess vent before

TERMINATION CLEARANCES

Termination clearance for buildings with combustible and noncombustible exteriors.

Vertical Sidewall Installations
Important! Minimum clearance between vent pipes and combustible materials is three (3") (76mm) on top, and (1") (25mm) on bottom

and sides.

Important! When vent termination exits through foundation less than 20" below siding outcrop, the vent pipe must extend outward so

that the horizontal vent terminal is located ush to, or beyond the outcrop siding.

Information on Various Venting Routes and Components

Important: It is always best to locate the replace in such a way that minimizes the number of offsets and horizontal vent length.

Since it is very important that the venting system maintain its balance between the combustion air intake and the ue gas exhaust, certain
limitations as to vent congurations apply and must be strictly adhered to.

The graph showing the relationship between vertical and horizontal side wall venting will help to determine the various vent lengths
allowable.

The horizontal vent run refers to the total length of vent pipe from the ue collar of the replace to the face of the outer wall.

The maximum horizontal vent run is 20 feet (457 cm) when the vertical vent rise is 8 feet (244 cm). See Figure 17.

Venting terminals shall not be recessed into wall or siding.

Installing Vent Components (Figure 46)

Begin the vent system installation by installing the rst Simpson

Duravent component, 90° elbow to the starting collars or straight
pipe on the top of the appliance, then the straight pipe length and
then horizontal or vertical termination kit.

NOTE: All outer connection joints must be sealed with aluminum
tape, screws or silicone sealant rated above 300°F/149°C. The

inner ue joints do not require any sealant.

Simpson Duravent vent system components lock into place by
sliding the concentric pipe section with four (4) equally spaced
interior beads onto the appliance collar or previously installed
component end with four (4) equally spaced indented sections.
When the internal beads of each starting outer pipe line up, rotate
pipe section clockwise 90° (approximately 3 inches). The vent pipe
is now locked together.

Continue adding components per the pre-planned vent system

conguration. Be certain that each succeeding vent component
is securely tted and locked into the preceding component in the

vent system.

Installing Firestops (Figures 48, 49, 50, and 51)
Firestops are required for safety whenever the vent system passes

through an interior wall, an exterior wall, or a ceiling. These restops
act as a rebreak heat shield and as a means to insure that minimum

clearances are maintained to the vent system.

Horizontal runs in the vent system which pass through either interior

or exterior walls, require the use of wall restops on both sides of

the wall through which the vent passes.

Cut an appropriate sized hole in wall. See Figure 48. Position

restop on interior side of wall for hole.

Attention: Wall restop hole is off-set towards bottom of wall

opening. Secure with nails or screws. Continue the vent run through

the restop. See Figure 48.

Figure 48

Vertical runs of this system which pass through ceilings require the

use of ONE (1) ceiling restop at the hole in each ceiling through

which the vent passes.

Position a plumb bob directly over the center of the vertical vent
component and mark the ceiling to establish the center point of the
vent. Drill a hole or drive a nail through this center point and check

the oor above for any obstructions such as wiring or plumbing

runs. Reposition the appliance and vent system, if necessary, to
accommodate ceiling joists and/or obstructions.

Cut an appropriate sized hole through the ceiling, using the center
point previously marked. See Figure 49. Frame the hole with
framing lumber the same size as the ceiling joists. See Figure 49.
If the area above the ceiling is NOT an attic, position and secure

the ceiling restop on the ceiling side of the previously cut and

framed hole. See Figure 50. If the area above the ceiling is an attic,

position and secure the restop on top of the previously framed

hole. See Figure 51.

NOTE: Remove insulation from the framed area in the attic before

installing the restop and/or vent pipes.

cap to its nal exterior position on the building.

Warning: Termination cap must be positioned so that arrow

is pointing up.

Attach the termination cap with the four wood screws provided.
Before attachment of the termination, run a bead of silicone sealant
rated above 250°F on its outside edge too, so as to make a seal to
the exterior wall.

NOTE: Wood screws can and should be replaced with appropriate

fasteners for use on stucco, brick, concrete or other types
of siding.

CAUTION: If exterior walls are nished with vinyl siding, (or

materials that could become discolored or warp) it is necessary to
install a vinyl siding standoff.

The vinyl siding standoff will be installed between the vent
termination and the exterior wall. See Figure 52. This horizontal vent

termination bolts onto the at portion of the vinyl siding standoff, so

an air space will exist between the wall and the termination cap.

DVVK-5F FLEX VENT INSTRUCTIONS

The DVVK-5F FLEX VENT KIT includes the following components:

• (1) Horizontal Termination Cap

• (1) 4-foot section of Flex vent with spacers (5" ue/8"

outer pipe) with ue adapter collar

Flex venting can only be installed vertically off of the ADVX Series replaces. When installing a horizontal vent run from top connec­tions, maintain at least ½" rise for every 12" of vent run. Refer to the Figure 52 when mounting termination near vinyl siding.

CAUTION: Always stretch and secure venting with wire or metal strapping to ensure that the horizontal runs do not sag.
If space permits, it is generally easier to attach venting in the top vent conguration.
Because of sharp edges, always use gloves when handling the ex vent components.

Vent connections should overlap a minimum of 1" for proper sealing.
Always follow the general venting requirements for vent terminal location, vent lengths, and clearance to combustible materials.

• (1) Wall Firestop/Thimble Assembly

• Hardware pack that includes band clamps and screws

INSTALLATION

1. Unpack vent components and check that all items are included.

2. Check to see that the vent spacer springs are located around the

ue vent at 8" and 12" intervals along its length. See Figure 53.

If not, stretch the spacer springs to about 15" long and wrap them

around the ue, then interlock the ends of each spring about 2".

See Figure 54. Maintain equal distance between spring spacers.

Figure 53

the vent end connectors.

7. Attach the Termination Cap to the outside of the house.

8. Prior to making the vent connections, apply high temperature
sealant (1000 degree F min.) to the vent connections before

securing with the band clamps provided. Note: the flue pipe end

without the adapter is to be installed to the Termination Cap.

9. Apply sealant to the outside of the flue pipe adapter and connect
to the flex flue pipe. Then insert the adapter into the fireplace
flue. Secure flue adapter to the fireplace flue with a minimum of
two screws provided. See Figure 55.

10. Attach the Outer Vent pipe to the 8" dia. Collar on the fireplace
with a large band clamp provided. Sealant may also be used on
the outer vent connections.

11. Check all vent connections for tightness. Make sure horizontal
venting has the proper rise and combustible clearances required.
Refer to venting charts in fireplace instruction manual.

Figure 55

Figure 54

3. Use existing 8" dia. inlet collar to attach outer vent pipe.

4. Install the Wall Firestop/Thimble assembly as required through
the wall. Refer to the venting charts in the fireplace manual to
determine the proper height and size of the vent opening. The
minimum opening should be 10" wide by 12" high. The minimum

5. In most cases, after determining the length of the vent that is

combustible clearance from the horizontal vent is 1" from sides
and bottom, and 3" above the vent pipe. See Figure 56.

needed, it may be easier to install the flue and outer vent pipes to
the Termination Cap first, then from the outside, feed the venting
through the wall to the fireplace.

6. If the venting is to long, trim off any excess vent before attaching

VERTICAL TERMINATION

Locate and mark the center point of the venting pipe. Using a nail
on the underside of the roof and drive this nail through this center
point. Make the outline of the roof hole around this center point.

NOTE: Size of the roof hole dimensions depend on the pitch of

the roof. There must be a 1 inch clearance (25mm) to the
vertical pipe sections. This clearance is to all combustible
material.

Cover the opening of the vent pipe and cut and frame the roof hole.
Use framing lumber the same size as the roof rafters and install the
frame securely. Flashing anchored to frame must withstand high
winds. The storm collar is placed over this joint to make a water­tight seal. Non-hardening sealant should be used to completely seal

this ashing installation.

Determining Minimum Vent Height Above the Roof.

WARNING: Major U.S. building codes specify minimum
chimney and/or vent height above the roof top. These minimum

heights are necessary in the interest of safety. These specica­tions are summarized in Figure 57.

ROOF PITCH H (Min.)

Flat to 6/12 12" (305 mm)

6/12 to 7/12 15" (381 mm)

Over 7/12 to 8/12 18" (457 mm)

Over 8/12 to 16/12 24" (610 mm)

Over 16/12 to 21/12 36" (914 mm)

Figure 57

Note that for steep roof pitches, the vent height must be increased.
In high wind conditions, nearby trees, adjoining roof lines, steep
pitched roofs, and other similar factors can result in poor draft,
or down-drafting. In these cases, increasing the vent height may
solve this problem.

Figure 58

When terminating the vent cap near an exterior wall or overhang,
maintain minimum clearances as shown in Figure 58

General Maintenance

Conduct an inspection of the venting system semi-annually.

Recommended areas to inspect are as follows:

1. Check areas of the venting system which are exposed to the
elements for corrosion. These will appear as rust spots or
streaks and, in extreme cases, holes. These components should
immediately be replaced.

2. Remove the cap and shine a ashlight down the vent. Remove

any bird nests or other foreign material.

3. Check for evidence of excessive condensate, such as water
droplets forming in the inner liner and subsequently dripping
out at joints. Condensate can cause corrosion of caps, pipe and

ttings. It may be caused by having excessive lateral runs, too

many elbows and exterior portions of the system being exposed
to cold weather.

4. Inspect joints to verify that no pipe sections or ttings have been

disturbed and, consequently, loosened. Also, check mechanical

supports, such as wall straps or plumbers’ tape for rigidity.

Venting terminal shall not be recessed into a wall or siding.

A removable panel or other means must be provided in the enclosure

for visual inspection of the ue connection.

NOTE: This also pertains to vertical vent systems installed on the

outside of the building.

Slide the vertical vent cap over the ends of the vent pipe and secure.

See Figure 59.

Installing the Vent System in a Chase

A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the gas

appliance and/or it’s vent system. Vertical vent runs on the outside

of a building may be, but are not required to be installed inside a
chase.

CAUTION: Treatment of restop spacers and construction of

the chase may vary with the type of building. These instructions
are not substitutes for the requirements of local building codes.
Therefore, your local building codes must be checked to determine
the requirements for these steps.

NOTE: When installing this vent system in a chase, it is always

good building practice to insulate the chase as you would the
outside walls of your home. This is especially important for cold
climate installations. Upon completion of building your chase
framing, install the vent system by following the instructions in
this manual. Remember to build the chase large enough so that
minimum clearance of combustible materials (including insulation)
to the vent system are maintained.

Reassembly and Resealing Vent Pipe System

Attach vent pipe to inlet and outlet vent adaptor on replace,

replace horizontal and vertical pipe lengths, elbows and horizontal
or vertical termination kit.

All vent system components lock into place by sliding the concentric
pipe section with four (4) equally spaced interior beads onto the
appliance collar or previously installed component end with four
(4) equally spaced indented sections. When the internal beads of
each starting outer pipe line up, rotate pipe section clockwise 90°
(approximately 3 inches). The vent pipe is now locked together.

Continue replacing components per the vent system conguration.
Be certain that each succeeding vent component is securely tted

and locked into the preceding component in the vent system.

Reassembly and Resealing Gas Accumulation Relief System
Glass Frame Assembly and Combustion Chamber

Whenever the glass frame assembly is pivoted open by a delayed
ignition in the main burner, the glass frame assembly gaskets and

combustion chamber must be examined by a qualied service person

for damage. All damaged gaskets on the glass frame assembly and

combustion chamber must be replaced by a qualied service person.

If damage occurs to the combustion chamber, it must be replaced

by a qualied service person. Contact Empire Comfort Systems,

Inc. for replacement parts.

Vertical Through the Roof Applications (Figure 60)

Your Gas Fireplace has been approved for:

a) Vertical installations up to 40 feet in height.
b) Two sets of 45 degree elbow offsets within these vertical

installations. From 0 to a maximum of 8 ft. a vent pipe can be
used between elbows.

c) Wall straps must be used to support offset pipe every 4'.

This application will require that you rst determine the roof pitch

and use the appropriate venting components.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

HI/LO REGULATOR

CONTROL KNOB

750 Millivolt System

The standing pilot (750 millivolt system) is a continuous burning
pilot. The pilot remains ON even when the main burner is OFF.

When you ignite the pilot, the thermopile produces millivolts
(electrical current) which energizes the magnet in the gas valve.
After 30 seconds to 1 minute time period you can release the gas

control knob and the pilot will stay ON. Allow your pilot ame to

operate an additional one (1) to two (2) minutes before you turn the
gas control knob from the PILOT position to the ON position. This
time period allows the millivolts (electrical current) to build-up to

a sufcient level allowing the gas control to operate properly.

1. Follow the SAFETY and LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS for

standing pilot controls found in this manual and on labels found
in control compartment behind the door assembly.

CAUTION: During the initial purging and subsequent lightings,

never allow the gas valve control knob to remain depressed in

the “pilot” position without pushing the piezo ignitor button

at least once every second.

2. During the operating season, leave the control valve knob in the

“ON” position. This will allow the pilot ame to remain lit. Turn
the burner ame on or off with the replace Remote/OFF/ON

switch, wall switch or remote controls.

NOTE: The gas control valve allows you to increase or decrease the

height of the main burner ame. The control valve has a pressure

regulator with a knob as shown in Figure 65. Rotate the knob

clockwise to “HI” to increase the ame height and counterclockwise
to “LO” to decrease the ame height.

3. When the operating season is over, turn the Remote/OFF/ON
switch to “OFF” and the control valve to “OFF”. The system,
including the pilot light, will be shut down.

The OWNER should carefully read and follow these operating
instructions at all times. Lower the door assembly to view the gas

controls for the replace.

Initial Lighting

Upon completing the gas line or turning the gas valve on after it
has been in the “OFF” position, a small amount of air will be in the

lines. When rst lighting the replace, it will take a few minutes

for the lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the purging is

complete, the replace will light and operate satisfactorily.

Subsequent lightings of the appliance will not require such purging
if the gas valve is not turned to “OFF.”

Pilot Flame (Figure 66)

The thermopile/thermocouple (standing pilot) tips should be

covered with ame.

TRW

Connect the green and red, stripped and bare, wires on the
REMOTE/OFF/ON switch wire harness to the remote receiver
that is a component in the remote kit. Turn the REMOTE/OFF/ON
switch to the remote position. Follow instructions included with
the remote to complete installation.

Note: If batteries fail in the remote, and immediate heat is desired,

turn the REMOTE/OFF/ON switch from the REMOTE position
to the ON position.

Electric (120 volt) Operated Remote Control, FREC

Connect the green and red, stripped and bare, wires on the REMOTE/
OFF/ON switch wire harness to the wires on remote receiver that
is a component in the FREC. Turn the REMOTE/OFF/ON switch
to the REMOTE position. Follow instructions in the FREC to
complete installation.

NOTE: If electric (120 Volt) fails in FREC, and immediate heat
is desired, turn the REMOTE/OFF/ON switch from the REMOTE
position to the ON position.

Installation of Remote Receiver

Place remote receiver on the oor of replace behind the louver

as far forward as possible.

Attention: The velcro loop and hook are not necessary in this
installation but can be used to secure remote receiver.

Refer to remote control installation and operating instructions for
more details on remote control.

Millivolt Control

The valve regulator controls the burner pressure which should be
checked at the pressure test point. Turn captured screw counter
clockwise 2 or 3 turns and then place tubing to pressure gauge over
test point (Use test point “A” closest to control knob). After taking

pressure reading, be sure and turn captured screw clockwise rmly

to re-seal. Do not over torque. Check for gas leaks.

Millivolt thermopile is self generating. Gas valve does not require
24 volts or 110 volts.

Check System Operation

Millivolt system and all individual components may be checked
with a millivolt meter 0-1000 MV range.

It is important to use wire of a gauge proper for the length of the

wire:

STANDING PILOT TROUBLESHOOTING

With proper installation and maintenance, your new Direct Vent Gas Fireplace will provide years of trouble-free service. If you do

experience a problem, refer to the Trouble Shooting Guide below. This guide will assist a qualied service person in the diagnosis

of problems and the corrective action to be taken.

1. Spark ignitor will not light pilot after repeated triggering

of piezo ignitor button.

a. Defective ignitor (no spark electrode).
—Check for spark at electrode and pilot; if no spark and

electrode wire is properly connected, replace ignitor.

b. No gas or low gas pressure.

—Check remote shut off valves from replace. Usually

there is a valve near the main. There can be more than one

(1) valve between the replace and main.

—Low pressure can be caused by a variety of situations

such as a bent line, too narrow diameter of pipe, or low line
pressure. Consult with plumber or gas supplier.

c. No LP in tank.

—Check LP (propane) tank. Rell tank.

2. Pilot will not stay lit after carefully following lighting
instructions.

a. Defective thermocouple.

—Check that pilot ame impinges on thermocouple. Clean

and/or adjust pilot for maximum ame impingement.

—Ensure the thermocouple connection at the gas valve is

fully inserted and tight (hand tight plus 1/4 turn). Faulty

thermocouple if reading is below specied minimum of 15

millivolts.

—Disconnect the thermocouple from the valve, place one

millivolt meter lead wire on the end of the thermocouple
and the other millivolt meter lead wire on the thermocouple
copper wire. Start the pilot and hold the valve knob in. If
the millivolt reading is less than 15 millivolt, replace the

thermocouple.
b. Defective valve.
—If thermocouple is producing more than 15 millivolts,

replace faulty valve.

3. Pilot burning, no gas to burner, valve knob “ON”, REMOTE/
OFF/ON switch “ON.”

a. REMOTE/OFF/ON switch, wall switch, remote control or

wires defective.

—Check REMOTE/OFF/ON switch and wires for proper

connections. Place jumper wires across terminal at switch.
If burner comes on, replace defective switch. If OK, place
jumper wires across switch wires at gas valve-if burner
comes on, wires are faulty or connections are bad.

b. Thermopile may not be generating sufcient millivolts.
—If the pilot ame is not close enough physically to the

thermopile, adjust the pilot ame.

—Be sure the wire connections from the thermopile at the

gas valve terminals are tight and the thermopile is fully
inserted into the pilot bracket.

—Check the thermopile with a millivolt meter. Take the

reading at TH-TP & TP terminals of the gas valve. The
meter should read 350 millivolts minimum, while holding
the valve knob depressed in the pilot position, with the pilot
lit, and the REMOTE/OFF/ON switch in the OFF position.

Replace the faulty thermopile if the reading is below the

specied minimum.

—With the pilot in the ON position, disconnect the thermopile

leads from the valve. Take a reading at the thermopile leads.
The reading should be 350 millivolts minimum. Replace the

thermopile if the reading is below the minimum.
c. Defective valve.
—Turn valve knob to ON. Place REMOTE/OFF/ON switch

to ON. Check with millivolt meter at thermopile terminals.

Millivolt meter should read greater than 200 millivolts. If the

reading is okay and the main burner does not ignite, replace

the gas valve.

d. Plugged main burner orice.
—Check main burner orice for blockage and remove.

4. Frequent pilot outage problem.

a. Pilot ame may be too high or too low, or blowing (high),

causing pilot safety to drop out.

—Clean and adjust ame for maximum ame impingement on

E. Turn thermostat below room temperature. Make sure main

burner and pilot ames go out.

OPERATION

Module operation can be conveniently divided into two phases
for S8600H. The phases are trial for ignition and main burner
operation.

TRIAL FOR IGNITION
Pilot Ignition

Following call for heat (system start on S8600H), the module

energizes the rst main valve operator. The rst main valve opens,
which allows gas to ow to the pilot burner. At the same time, the

electronic spark generator in the module produces a 13,000 volt
spark pulse output (at 25 pf load). The voltage generates a spark
at the igniter-sensor that lights the pilot.

If the pilot does not light, or the pilot ame current is not at least

1.0 uA and steady, the module will not energize the second main
valve and the main burner will not light.

INTERMITTENT PILOT TROUBLESHOOTING

Safety Lockout

S8600H provides 100 percent shutoff, or safety lockout. A timer
starts timing the moment the trial for ignition starts. Ignition spark
continues only until the timed trial for ignition period ends. Then
the module goes into safety lockout. Lockout de-energizes the

rst main valve operator and closes the rst main valve in the gas
control, stopping pilot gas ow. The control system must be reset

by setting the thermostat below room temperature for one minute
or by turning off power to the module for one minute.

Main Burner Operation

When the pilot ame is established, a ame rectication circuit
is completed between the sensor and burner ground. The ame
sensing circuit in the module detects the ame current, shuts off the

spark generator and energizes the second main valve operator. The

second main valve opens and gas ows to the main burner, where
it is ignited by the pilot burner. The ame current also holds the

safety lockout timer in the reset (normal) operating condition.

When the call for heat ends, both main valve operators are de­energized, and both main valves in the gas control close.

CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when
servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and
dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.

25049-0-0309 Page 51

INTERMITTENT PILOT TROUBLESHOOTING (continued)

Important

1. The following service procedures are provided as a general
guide.

2. Meter readings between gas control and ignition module must
be taken within the trial for ignition period. Once the igni­tion module locks out, the system must be reset by setting the
thermostat down for at least one minute before continuing.

3. If any component does not function properly, make sure it is
correctly installed and wired before replacing it.

4. The ignition module cannot be repaired. If it malfunctions, it
must be replaced.

5. Only trained, experienced service technicians should service
intermittent pilot systems.

Perform the CHECKOUT steps on page 50 as the rst step in
troubleshooting. Then check TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
to pinpoint the cause of the problem. If troubleshooting indicates
an ignition problem, see Ignition System Checks below to isolate
and correct the problem.

Following troubleshooting, perform the CHECKOUT procedure
(page 50) again to be sure system is operating normally.

Ignition System Checks

Step 1: Check ignition cable.
Make sure:

A. Ignition cable does not touch any metal surfaces.
B. Ignition cable is no more than 36 inches long.
C. Connections to the ignition module and to the igniter-sensor

are clean and tight.

D. Ignition cable provides good electrical continuity.

Step 2: Check ignition system grounding.

Nuisance shutdowns are often caused by a poor or erratic

ground.

A. A common ground, usually supplied by the pilot burner bracket,

is required for the module and the pilot burner/igniter sen­sor.

• Check for good metal-to-metal contact between the pilot

burner bracket and the main burner.

• Check the ground lead from GND (BURNER) terminal on

the module to the pilot burner. Make sure connections are
clean and tight. If the wire is damaged or deteriorated, replace
it with No. 14-18 gauge, moisture-resistant, thermoplastic
insulated wire with 105 C (221 F) minimum rating.

• If ame rod or bracket are bent out of position, restore to

correct position.

• Replace pilot burner/igniter sensor if insulator is

cracked.

Step 3: Check spark ignition circuit. You will need a short jumper

wire made from ignition cable or other heavily insulated
wire.

A. Close the manual gas valve.
B. Disconnect the ignition cable at the SPARK terminal on the

module.

WARNING

When performing the following steps, do not touch stripped

end of jumper or SPARK terminal. The ignition circuit

generates 13,000 volts at 25 pf load and electrical shock
can result.

C. Energize the module and immediately touch one end of the

jumper rmly to the GND terminal on the module. Move the

free end of the jumper slowly toward the SPARK terminal
until a spark is established.

D. Pull the jumper slowly away from the terminal and note the

length of the gap when sparking stops. Check table below.

ARC LENGTH ACTION

No arc or arc less than 1/8
inch.

Arc 1/8 inch or longer.

Step 4: Check pilot ame current.

A. Turn off furnace at thermostat.
B. Disconnect main valve wire from the TH or MV terminal on

the gas control.

C. Disconnect ground wire from GND (BURNER) terminal at

module.

D. Connect a meter (dc microamp scale) in series with the ground

lead.

• Disconnect ground lead from GND terminal on ignition

module.

• Connect the black (negative) meter lead to the ignition

module GND (BURNER) terminal.

• Connect the red (positive) meter lead to the free end of the

ground lead.

E. Set thermostat to call for heat. The spark will light the pilot but

the main burner will not light because the main valve actuator
is disconnected.

F. Read the meter. The ame sensor current must be steady and

at least 1.0 uA.

G. If the reading is less than the minimum or unsteady,

• Make sure pilot ame envelopes 3/8 to 1/2 inch of the ame

rod.

• If necessary, adjust pilot ame by turning the pilot adjustment

screw on the gas control clockwise to decrease or counter-

clockwise to increase pilot ame. Following adjustment,

always replace pilot adjustment cover screw and tighten

rmly to assure proper gas control operation.

• Check for cracked ceramic insulator, which can cause short

to ground, and replace igniter-sensor if necessary.

• Make sure electrical connections are clean and tight. Replace

damaged wire with moisture-resistant No. 18 wire rated for
continuous duty up to 105 C (221 F).

H. Remove meter and reconnect all wires. Return system to

normal operation before leaving job.

Check external fuse, if
provided.
Verify power at module input
terminal.
Replace module if fuse and
power okay.

Voltage output is okay.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Please Note
It is normal for appliances fabricated of steel to give off
some expansion and/or contraction noise during the start
up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found with your
furnace heat exchanger or car engine.

It is not unusual for your gas replace to give off some odor the
rst time it is burned. This is due to the curing of the paint and any

undetected oil from the manufacturing process.

Please ensure that your room is well ventilated - open all
windows.

It is recommended that you burn your replace for at least
six (6) hours the rst time you use it. Place fan in the “OFF”

position during this time.

IMPORTANT: Turn off gas before servicing appliance. It is

recommended that a qualied service person perform these check-

ups at the beginning of each heating season.

• Clean Burner and Control Compartment

Keep the control compartment, logs, and burner areas surrounding

the logs clean by vacuuming or brushing at least twice a year.

Cleaning Procedure

1. Turn off pilot light at gas valve.

2. Remove glass front. (See Glass Removal)

3. Vacuum burner compartment.

4. Reinstall glass front.

5. Ignite pilot. (See Lighting Instructions)

6. Operate the pilot burner. If it appears abnormal call a service
person.

• Check Vent System

The appliance and venting system should be inspected before

initial use and at least annually by a qualied service person.

Inspect the external vent cap on a regular basis to make sure

that no debris is interfering with the air ow.

Glass Cleaning

It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. During start-up
condensation, which is normal, forms on the inside of the glass and
causes lint, dust and other airborne particles to cling to the glass

surface. Also initial paint curing may deposit a slight lm on the

glass. It is therefore recommended that the glass be cleaned two or
three times with a non-abrasive household cleaner and warm water

(we recommend gas replace glass cleaner). After that the glass

should be cleaned two or three times during each heating season
depending on the circumstances present.

General Glass Information

3. Under no circumstances should this appliance be operated without
the glass front or with a broken glass front. Replacement of the
glass (with gasket) as supplied by the manufacturer should be

done by a qualied service person.

4. Do not abuse the glass by striking or hitting the glass.

WARNING: Do not use abrasive cleaners on glass. Do not
attempt to clean glass when glass is hot.

Glass Removal and Replacement (Figure 71)

1. Remove top louver, grasp louver and pull forward.

2. Lower bottom louver.

3. Release two glass frame clamps at bottom of rebox.

4. Remove glass frame.

5. Place glass frame onto rebox.

6. Attach two glass frame clamps at bottom of rebox.

7. Align clips on top louver with slots on front posts. Replace top

louver into replace.

8. Close bottom louver.

Warning: Do not operate appliance with the glass front
removed, cracked or broken. Replacement of the glass should

be done by a licensed or qualied service person.

Only glass approved for use by the manufacturer in replace may

be used for replacement. The glass replacement should be done by

a licensed or qualied service person.

WARNING:

1. The use of substitute glass will void all product warranties.

2. Care must be taken to avoid breakage of the glass.

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.

5. Insert blower assembly into interior, bottom of replace.

Position blower assembly behind gas valve, align notch on

back of blower assembly with center screw on replace back
and push blower assembly against replace back. The magnets
on the back and bottom of blower assembly will sufciently

hold blower assembly in place.

6. Position speed control box to the right of gas valve. Attach

speed control box to bottom of replace. The magnets on
bottom of speed control box will sufciently hold speed

control box in place.

7. With base (ush face) of fan control switch facing upward,

insert base of fan control switch under the mounting tabs on

valve bracket. The base (ush face) of fan control switch must
be in contact with bottom of rebox.

8. Insert power cord plug into junction box.

9. Close bottom louver on replace.

10. Installation of FBB4 variable speed blower assembly is
completed.

Caution: Label all wires prior to disconnection when
servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper
and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after
servicing.

Blower Motor

The blower motor does not have oiling holes. Do not attempt to
oil the blower motor.

Blower Wheels

The blower wheels will collect lint and could require periodic
cleaning. If the air output decreases or the noise level increases,
it indicates a dirty blower wheel. Remove fan and clean blower
wheels.

Warning: Unplugging of blower accessory will not stop the
heater from cycling. To turn off gas to the heater (millivolt
model): push in gas control knob slightly and turn clockwise
to "OFF." Do not force.
