•This unit must be installed by a qualified installer to prevent the possibility of an
explosion. Your dealer will know the requirements in your area and can inform you of
those people considered qualified. The room heater should be inspected before use
and at least annually by a qualified service person. More frequent cleaning may be
required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc.
•The instructions in this manual must be strictly adhered to. Do not use makeshift
methods or compromise in the installation. Improper installation will void the warranty
and safety listing.
Ok
Look for this label:
For LPG only | Pout 11” W.C.
If the label is present, the
heater is equipped for LP

Safety Precautions5
•Do not place clothing or
other flammable items on or
near the heater. Because
this heater can be controlled
by a thermostat there is a
possibility of the heater
turning on and igniting any
items placed on or near it.
•The viewing glass should be
opened only for lighting the
pilot or conducting service.
•Any safety screen or guard
removed for servicing must
be replaced prior to
operating the heater.
•Operate the heater
according to the instructions
included in this manual.
•If the main burners do not
start correctly turn the gas
off at the gas control valve
and call your dealer for
service.
• Light the heater using the
built-in piezo igniter. Do not
use matches or any other
external device to light your
heater.
• Never remove, replace,
modify or substitute any part
of the heater unless
instructions are given in this
manual. All other work must
be done by a trained
technician. Don't modify or
replace orifices.
• Allow the heater to cool
before carrying out any
maintenance or cleaning.
• The pilot flame must contact
the thermopile and
thermocouple (see the
illustration to the left). If it
does not, turn the gas
control valve to "OFF" and
call your dealer.
•This unit is not for use with
solid fuel
•Do not place anything inside
the firebox (except the
included fiber logs).
•If the fiber logs become
damaged, replace with
Travis Industries log set.
•Do not touch the hot
surfaces of the heater.
Educate all children of the
danger of a hightemperature heater. Young
children should be
supervised when they are in
the same room as the
heater.
•Instruct everyone in the
house how to shut gas off to
the appliance and at the gas
main shutoff valve. The gas
main shutoff valve is usually
next to the gas meter or
propane tank and requires a
wrench to shut off.

Fireplace Placement Requirements
Minimum Framing Dimensions
A 1/2" clearance is required along the sides and back of the fireplace. The 1/2" stand-offs on the sides
and 6-1/4" stand-offs on the top of the fireplace are designed to separate the fireplace from the
framing members. These stand-offs may contact the framing members but no material may be placed
between the stand-offs.
NOTE: if venting directly to the rear,
make sure there is a min. 8-5/8" space
centered behind the fireplace for the
wall thimble. If a 90° elbow is used
directly off of the fireplace, the thimble
will be centered 51-1/4" above the
base of the fireplace.
If using a remote control or
thermostat, route the wire to a
location near the gas line (include
an extra 3' length for hookup).
46-1/2"
Gas line (3/8" M.P.T. or 1/2" F.P.T.)
should be routed 6-5/8" behind the
framing opening and 1-7/8" above
the base of the fireplace (see "Gas
Line Connection" for details).
19-5/8"
43-1/4"
Route the electrical line to a position
at the right rear of the fireplace.
NOTE: If using the power heat vent,
allow for the duct passage when
framing the enclosure.
•Fireplace must be installed on a level surface capable of supporting the fireplace and vent
•Fireplace must be placed directly on wood or non-combustible surface (not on linoleum or carpet)
•Due to the high temperature of the fireplace, it should be located out of traffic and away from furniture
and draperies.
•This heater may be placed in a bedroom. Please be aware of the large amount of heat this appliance
produces when determining a location.
Clearances
•When installed, walls in front of the fireplace must be a minimum 4-1/2" to the side of the faceplate.
•Fireplace must be placed so that no combustibles are within, or can swing within 36" of the front of the
fireplace (e.g. drapes, doors)
•Fireplace must be placed so the vents below and above the glass do not become blocked

Vent Requirements
!The vent must maintain the required clearance to combustible materials to prevent a fire (see
“Clearances” below). 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.
Altitude Considerations
This heater has been tested at altitudes ranging from sea level to 8,000 feet (2,400 M). In this testing we have
found that the heater, with its standard orifice, burns correctly with just an air shutter adjustment.
!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.
Clearances
Minimum 1” clearance to all combustibles (measured from the outside of the pipe) except for the following:
When using 6-5/8" vent, a
horizontal termination, and
an elbow directly off the
top of the fireplace, a 2"
clearance is required
above the horizontal
sections (1" to the side
and below).
2" Clearance
With any vertical
vent directly off the
fireplace, the
clearance is 1".
Max. 3'
Horizontal
Run
1" Clearance
Use of 8” Diameter Pipe
•Most venting configurations use 6-5/8” diameter vent. To achieve longer horizontal runs (over 12’)
with a horizontal termination, 8” dia. Simpson Duravent type GS Direct Vent may be used. See the
section “Horizontal Terminations using 8” Diameter Vent” for details. Part Numbers are listed below.

5Install the faceplate following the instructions included with the faceplate.
! ACID WASH WARNING : Before installing the faceplate, make sure any masonry that has been
treated with acid wash has been properly neutralized (this is used primarily with brick faces). Acid wash
(muriatic acid) is used to remove excess mortar. If not properly neutralized with an ammonia solution,
the gold face may develop a permanent tarnish when the acid evaporates over time. Contact your
dealer if uncertain your facing has been properly neutralized.
6Check the pilot flame to make sure it looks like the illustration below. Adjust the pilot flame if
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.
Standard
Screwdriver
The pilot flame must contact the thermocouple and
thermopile (see the illustration below). Adjust the pilot up or
down as necessary.
7Let 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
Pushing the control to the left gives the
flame less air (making it more orange).
Pushing to the right gives the flame more
air, making it more blue. For fine
adjustments use a screwdriver to tap the
air shutter.
NOTE: If the air shutter is all the way
open, yet the flames remain sooty, shut
off gas to the fireplace and contact a
qualified gas service technician.

8Turn the flame adjust knob to its highest position - the flames should be approximately 10" 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.
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 (see pages 20-23). 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 FlamesCorrect Flames
Burner
Lifting flames indicate
insufficient draft (restrictor
is set too high).
Burner Ports
(holes)
Ghosting FlamesFlickering Flames
Ghosting flames indicate
insufficient air (restrictor set too
high, air shutter shut down, or
other venting error).
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.

Starting The Pilot Flame
a
The pilot flame is required to ignite the main
burners (it also plays a safety role). It should be
left on once lit. It will stay lit unless the gas
control valve is turned to "OFF". However, the
pilot will go out if the gas is shut off, the
propane tank runs out (or low) or if the stove
malfunctions. If the pilot turns off frequently,
call your dealer for information. To start the
pilot follow the directions below:
WARNING :
When lighting or re-lighting the
pilot, the glass must be removed
(see page 27).

aRemove the glass (see page 27 for details).
bPush the gas control knob in slightly and turn
it to the "OFF" position. The knob will not
turn from "ON" to "OFF" unless the knob is
depressed slightly. Wait five minutes to let
any gas that may have accumulated inside
the firebox escape. If you smell leaking gas,
follow the directions on the cover "IF YOU
SMELL GAS".
cTurn the gas control knob to the "PILOT"
position and press the knob in, this will allow
gas to flow to the pilot light. Press the
button on the pilot igniter repeatedly until
you see the pilot light.
WARNING:
If the pilot does not light after 15
seconds, release the knob and call
your dealer for service. Do not
attempt to light pilot until service
has been performed.

Starting the Fireplace for the First Time
+Burn the heater at a high setting with the blower off for an extended period (up to 48 hours). This will
cure the painted surfaces. Fumes from the paint curing and oil burning off the steel will occur. This is
normal. We recommend opening a window to vent the room.
+Condensation may appear on the glass each time you start the fireplace - this is normal.
+Blue Flames will occur on the fireplace when it first comes on. After fifteen minutes the flames will
turn a more realistic yellow and orange color.
?Certain installations use a remote "wall switch" to turn the fireplace on and off. If this is the case, leave
the ON/OFF switch "ON".

may burn and create an odor. This is normal during start-up. You may notice the smell is more acute if
the appliance was left idle for a long period.
Blower
This heater uses a blower to push heated air into
the room. You will hear the sound of air movement
that increases as the speed is increased.
Blower Snap Disk
This part can produce a clicking sound as it turns
the blower on and off.
Extinction Pops
It is not unusual, especially on Propane (LP) appliances,
to experience a "pop" when the burner is shut off.

Maintaining Your Fireplace's Appearance
!Fingerprints or other marks left on the optional gold surface may become etched in place if they are not wiped
clean prior to turning the fireplace on. Clean the gold with denatured alcohol and a soft cloth (with the fireplace
cool). Other cleaners may leave a film that may become etched into the gold.
Yearly Service Procedure
!Failure to inspect and maintain the fireplace may lead to improper combustion and a potentially dangerous
situation. We recommend the following procedures be done by a qualified technician.
1Check the pilot flame. It should touch approximately 3/8" of the top of the thermopile and touch the top of the
thermocouple (see illustration below). If it does not, contact your dealer for service.
2Shut off gas to the fireplace by turning the gas control knob to "OFF" (see step A under "Starting the Pilot" on
page 34). Let the fireplace cool for 15 minutes. Remove the faceplate (see instructions included with face) and
glass (see page 27).
3Remove the log set (NOTE: the logs are very fragile - see page 28). If severely deteriorated, replace.
Check the logs for sooting. A small amount of soot along the bottom of the logs is normal. If excessive sooting
is found, the fireplace will require adjustment. Contact your dealer.
4Clean the burner (especially the burner holes) and inspect the following:
•Check for burner pan holes that are cracked, severely warped, or corroded.
•Make sure the burner assembly is not warped or damaged.
•Check the firebox and area around the pilot to make sure there is no warping or damage.
If any problem is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service.
Check the walls and ceiling of the firebox for
deterioration.
Before Disassembly -
Check the pilot flame. It
should touch the
thermocouple and
thermopile.
Make sure the
burner is not
warped or
damaged.
Thermopile
Pilot Hood
Thermocouple
5Replace the log set. Replace the glass (if the glass is damaged, replace it). Make sure the gasket along the
perimeter of the glass contacts the face of the firebox and forms an air-tight seal. If it does not, re-align or
replace the gasket to insure an air-tight seal. Replace the faceplate.
6Inspect behind the access door. Clean if necessary. Check the gas control valve and gas lines. If damage is
found, discontinue use and contact dealer for service. Clean the air channels and ducts.
7Start the pilot and turn on the main burner. The flames should be orange/yellow and not touch the top of the
firebox. If the pilot or main burners do not burn correctly, contact your dealer for service. Monitor the blower
operation.
8Remove any debris or vegetation near the vent termination. Contact your dealer if any sooting or deterioration is
found near the vent termination.
Check the burner holes.

How this Fireplace Works
!This fireplace was designed with safety as the primary concern. Many of the components inside this
fireplace are for safety purposes. Therefore, only certified gas service technicians should service this
fireplace.
What Turns the Main Burners On and Off
This fireplace uses a millivolt system to control its operation (a millivolt is a very small amount of
electricity). The thermopile and thermocouple generate electricity when heated by the pilot flame.
This electricity is used to operate the gas valve. Without enough electricity, the gas valve will not turn
on. That is why when starting the pilot the gas control knob has to be pressed in long enough for the
thermocouple to heat up and generate enough electricity. The thermopile provides power for the
ON/OFF switch, remote control, or thermostat (see the illustration below). Because the thermopile
generates the electricity needed to turn the fireplace on and off, this fireplace can be operated when
the power is out (although the blower will not run).
When heated, the thermopile
generates electricity (a very small
amount measured in "Millivolts").
This electricity is
used to operate the
main burners.
The main burners
are switched on and
off using the
electricity generated
by the thermopile.
The ON/OFF switch,
remote control, or
thermostat control
the circuit to the main
burner.

OFF
What Prevents Gas Buildup
+This appliance utilizes a high-technology gas valve in conjunction with a pilot flame to ensure no gas
builds up inside the firebox.
+The thermocouple (next to the pilot) senses when the pilot flame is lit. If the pilot flame goes out, this
thermocouple no longer generates electricity, causing the gas valve to automatically shut off all gas to
the heater, preventing the pilot from spilling gas into the firebox.
Pilot Flame
The pilot flame is a time-proven
component that eliminates the possibility
of gas buildup inside the firebox.
Gas Valve
This high-technology valve automatically
shuts off all gas if it does not receive a signal
from the thermocouple. If any component is
damaged or sensing a malfunction, or if the
wiring is damaged, it will shut off all gas.
External Shut Off Valve
This valve is placed on the gas line
to shut off gas to the appliance
during maintenance procedures.
Thermocouple
The thermocouple generates a small
amount of electricity. If the pilot flame
goes out, the gas valve automatically
shuts off all gas.
Ceramic Glass
The glass in your heater is the most
durable glass available. It has been
tested to be extremely resistant to
breakage from temperature changes.
