SAFETY INFORMATION FOR USERS OF LP GAS
Propane (LP-Gas) is a flammable gas which can cause fires 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 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 firefighters 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 find 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 filter 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 read
­ing 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 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.
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 find 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 qualified, do not light pilot lights, perform service, or make adjustments to appliances on the LP-Gas system. If you are qualified, 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 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 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 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 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 turning it off at the container before it goes completely empty or having it refilled before it is completely empty.

Figure 5
Installing the 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 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 flex connector use only approved fittings. 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 fireplace 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).

VENTING AND INSTALLATION
1. Before beginning, remove glass door and log package from
unit. Also check to make sure there is no hidden damage to
the unit. Take a minute and plan out the gas, venting and elec-
trical route. It is best to start with the gas line first, followed
by the chimney liner and electrical supply requirements.
2. Minimum fireplace opening requirements are shown in
Figure 2 of this installation manual. The firebrick (refrac-
tory), glass doors, screen rails, screen mesh and log grates
can be removed from a factory built fireplace in order to gain
minimum gas insert opening requirements prior to installing
the gas fireplace insert.
3. This insert requires no hearth extensions. Combustible ma
terial on the floor may be installed up to the insert. Do not
obstruct the lower louver of the insert. The original fireplace
cannot be returned to solid fuel in this condition.
4. The metal floor of the solid fuel firebox may be removed to
facilitate the installation of the insert. CLEARANCE TO
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL UNDER THE INSERT IS
1/4”. YOU MUST USE THE LEVELING LEGS TO RAISE
THE INSERT A MINIMUM OF 1/4” IF THE INSERT IS
TO SIT ON COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL. The side walls
and top structure of the firebox may not be altered with the
exception of removable baffles and dampers. Smoke shields,
shelves and baffles may be removed if attached with me
chanical fasteners. The original fireplace cannot be returned
to solid fuel in this condition.
5. Combustible facing material may be installed over the
original combustible facing material on the solid fuel fire
place. The original specified clearances of a factory-built
fireplace must be maintained, with the exception of the
hearth. Clearances on a masonry fireplace must be main-
tained at 12” from the opening for combustible projections
over 1 1/2”. Clearances for combustible projections under
1 1/2” must be maintained at 6” from the opening per
NFPA211. Plan the surround size accordingly. A surround
must be used with the insert. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE
CAN COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL BE PLACED BEHIND
THE SURROUND!
6. The insert surround is tested and approved with this gas insert
and may cover existing air circulation vents or grills on the
solid fuel fireplace it is installed into. If the surround does
not cover the entire ventilation grill surface, the exposed grill
area should be left open.
NOTE: Surround panel kits have been tested and approved to cover existing air circulation vents or grills.
NOTE: Cutting of sheet metal parts of a fireplace in order to install the fireplace insert is prohibited.
WARNING: Only the surround as supplied may be used to cover integral grills on the solid fuel-burning fireplace. No other components such as shrouds, sheet metal plates, etc. may be used to seal off vents.
7. To assure top performance, safety and efficiency, inserts must be installed with an approved flue liner as per CAN/CGA B-149 or National Fuel Code ANSI Z223 and these instruc­tions.
Note: The following statement is also provided on a separate label plate in the instruction packet. Prior to installation of the fireplace insert, the installer must mechanically secure this warning plate to the inside of the fireplace for future reference as required.
WARNING: The solid fuel fireplace has been converted for use with gas only and cannot be used for burning wood
-
-
-
or solid fuels unless all original parts have been replaced and the fireplace has been reapproved by the authority having jurisdiction.
8. The solid fuel fireplaces’ flue damper must be fully locked in the open position or removed for installation of the gas fireplace insert.
9. The fireplace and fireplace chimney must be cleaned and in good working order and constructed of noncombustible ma­terials.
10. Make sure that all chimney cleanouts fit properly so air can not leak into the chimney.
11. Install the insert without the surround panels attached and make all gas, venting, and electrical connections.
If the factory built fireplace does not have gas access holes provided, an access hole of 1 1/2” diameter (37.5mm) or less may be drilled through the lower sides or bottom of the firebox in a proper workmanship like manner. This access hole must be plugged with a non-combustible insu lation after the gas supply line has been installed.
12. To complete the installation, install surround panel assembly. Please refer to instructions included with the surround panel kit.
Ensure there are no obstructions to side air passages of decorative trim once installed on insert.

Connecting the Vent Pipe
Caution: Sharp edges. Always use gloves when installing.
Install the 3-inch flexible vent pipes down through the chimney.
Attach the pipe-to-cap adaptor to the termination cap and the top of the flexible vent pipe, then install the cap to the top of the chimney.
Remove the vent slide plate assembly from the top of the insert. See Figure 7. Trim off excess venting then attach and secure the bottom ends of the flex pipes to the starting collars with the adjustable band clamps provided. Slide the gas insert into place, and position any excess flex vent pipe back up into the chimney. Begin installation of the insert into the fireplace opening. Align the vent slide plate assembly with the guides located on top of the insert. Work the insert inch by inch into the fireplace cavity as you pull forward on the vent slide plate assembly. Do not use excessive force on the vent slide plate. Once the vent slide plate is close to seating, install the vent bolt through the center hole of the insert top flange, and into the vent slide plate nut. Using a wrench or socket, tighten the bolt until the vent slide plate is seated forward completely.
Positioning, Leveling, and Securing Insert
1. Place the insert into position.
Note: The front flanges of the insert (without surround panels) should be set at approximately 1”(inch) in front of the face of the fireplace.
2. Level the insert from side to side and front to back.
3. If necessary, use the leveling bolts included in the instruction pack. Screw the legs into the nuts installed in the bottom of the insert. Turn legs in until insert is level.
CAUTION: TO AVOID DOWNDRAFTS AND/OR COLD AIR PROBLEMS, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO SEAL OFF THE AREA BETWEEN THE TERMINATION CAP AND THE TOP OF THE SOLID-FUEL CHIMNEY OPENING INTO WHICH THE VENT CAP HAS BEEN INSTALLED.

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 specifica tions are summarized in Figure 9.
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 9
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.
Vertical Through the Roof Applications
The Gas Fireplace Insert has been approved for: a) Vertical installations up to 35 feet in height (top of insert to
-
cap).
b) Two sets of 45 degree elbow offsets (bends in flexvent) within
the vertical installation. From 0 to a maximum of 8 ft. of 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 first determine the roof pitch and use the appropriate venting components.
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 flashlight 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 flex venting and subsequently dripping out at joints or seams. Condensate can cause corrosion of caps, pipe and fittings. It may be caused by having excessive lateral runs, or having exterior portions of the system exposed to cold weather.
4. Inspect joints to verify that no pipe sections or fittings have been disturbed and, consequently, loosened. Also, check mechanical supports, such as wall straps or plumbers’ tape for rigidity.
Figure 10
When terminating the vent cap near an exterior wall or overhang, maintain minimum clearances as shown in Figure 10.

BLOWER ACCESSORY INFORMATION
The appliance, when installed must be electrically connected and grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the current CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code.
U.S. Installations, follow local codes and the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70.
Should this blower require servicing, the power supply must be disconnected. For rewiring of any replacement components, re­fer to Figures 16 and 17 and the parts list on page 25.
BLOWER ACCESSORY Operation
The fireplace insert is equipped with a factory installed blower accessory that includes a fan control switch, plus a rheostat (speed control). The speed control knob is located behind the lower louver at the right side of the insert. From a cold start, the temperature activated fan control switch will normally take 5-10 minutes to heat up and energize the blower. Once the blower is energized, adjust the blower speed control as desired, then replace the lower louver. When the insert is shut off, it may take 30-40 minutes for the heated unit to dissipate (cool down) enough for the blower to shut off automatically. Note: The blower shut off times will vary on blower speed and BTU input level setting control by adjustment of the HI/LO knob located on the gas valve.
Blower removal instructions
Servicing or removal of the blower system must be performed by a qualified service person. If the blower assembly (Item 45, page 24) must be replaced, the following steps are recommended for removal:

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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 flame 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 sufficient 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 flame to remain lit. Turn the burner flame on or off with the fireplace 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 flame. The control valve has a pressure regulator with a knob as shown in Figure 20. Rotate the knob clockwise to “HI” to increase the flame height and counterclockwise to “LO” to decrease the flame height.
3. When the operating season is over, turn the switch to “OFF” and the control valve to “OFF”. The system, including the pilot light, will be shut down.
REMOTE/OFF/ON
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 first lighting the fireplace, it will take a few minutes for the lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the purging is complete, the fireplace 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 21)
The thermopile/thermocouple (standing pilot) tips should be covered with flame.
Figure 21
Figure 20
The OWNER should carefully read and follow these operating instructions at all times. Lower the door assembly to view the gas controls for the fireplace.

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 qualified 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 fireplace. Usually
there is a valve near the main. There can be more than one
(1) valve between the fireplace 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. Refill tank.
2. Pilot will not stay lit after carefully following lighting instructions.
a. Defective thermocouple. —Check that pilot flame impinges on thermocouple. Clean
and/or adjust pilot for maximum flame 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 specified 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 sufficient millivolts. —If the pilot flame is not close enough physically to the
thermopile, adjust the pilot flame. —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 specified 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 orifice. —Check main burner orifice for blockage and remove.
4. Frequent pilot outage problem.
a. Pilot flame may be too high or too low, or blowing (high),
causing pilot safety to drop out. —Clean and adjust flame for maximum flame impingement on
the thermocouple. Follow lighting instructions carefully.
5. The pilot and main burner extinguish while in operation.
a. No LP (Propane) in tank.
Check LP (Propane) tank. Refill fuel tank. b. Inner vent pipe leaking exhaust gases back into system. —Check for leaks. c. Glass too loose, gasket leaks in corners after usage. —Be certain glass assembly is installed correctly. d. Horizontal vent improperly pitched. —The horizontal vent cap should slope down only enough
to prevent any water from entering the unit. The maximum
downwards slope is 1/4 inch. e. Bad thermopile or thermocouple. —Replace if necessary. f. Improper vent cap installation. —Check for proper installation and freedom from debris or
blockage.
6. Glass soots, and/or soot deposits collected on logs.
a. Flame impingement on logs incorrect. —Check and adjust log position. See Page 17. Contact
Empire Comfort Systems, Inc. b. Debris around throat of main burner. —Inspect the opening at the base of the main burner. It is
imperative that NO material be placed in this opening.
7. Flame burns blue and lifts off main burner.
a. Insufficient oxygen being supplied. —Check to make sure vent cap is installed properly and free
of debris. Make sure that vent system joints are tight and
have no leaks. —Check to make sure that no material has been placed at
the main burner base.
