Gas Line Requirements

MASSACHUSETTS INSTALLATIONS - WARNING:

THIS PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED BY A LICENSED PLUMBER OR GAS FITTER WHEN INSTALLED WITHIN THE

COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS.

OTHER MASSACHUSETTS CODE REQUIREMENTS:

• Flexible connector must not be longer than 36 inches.

• Shutoff valve must be a “T” handle gas cock.

• Only direct vent sealed combustion products are approved for bedrooms or bathrooms.

• Fireplace dampers must be removed or welded in the open position prior to the installation of a fireplace insert or gas log.

• A carbon monoxide (CO) detector is required in the same room as the appliance.

• The gas line must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, follow ANSI

223.1 and the requirements listed below.

• A manual shutoff valve is required within 3’ of the heater. It should be placed upstream of the

flex line (if used) and may be installed behind the access door inside the heater. ).

• The heater and gas control valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping during any

pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig. For pressures under 1/2

psig, isolate the gas supply piping by closing the manual shutoff valve.

• Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior to and after starting the heater.

• This heater is designed either for natural gas or for propane (but not for both). Check the sticker on the top of the

gas control valve to make sure the correct fuel is used (see illustration on page 4).

• Installation must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier (In Massachusetts

a licensed plumber/gasfitter).

Natural Gas 7" W.C. (1.74 kPA)

Propane 13" W.C. (2.73 kPA)

• If the pressure is not sufficient, make sure the piping used is large enough, the supply regulator is

adequately adjusted, and the total gas load for the residence does not exceed the amount supplied.

• The supply regulator (the regulator that attaches directly to the residence inlet or to the propane tank) should

supply gas at the suggested input pressure listed above. Contact the local gas supplier if the regulator is at

an improper pressure.

14 Installation (for qualified installers only)

Vent Requirements

• 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.

• Make sure the exhaust pipe on the heater connects to the exhaust portion of the cap. The

illustrations below show how the flex liners should be attached.

• The exhaust vent must reline the entire length of the chimney and terminate above the

chimney top

• Be careful not to crimp or rupture the liner when bending it into chimney offsets

• When installed, the vent must meet all of the vent manufacturer's requirements

• Make sure to order the following:

3” UL 441 Gas Liner for Exhaust and Air Inlet

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.

Installation (for qualified installers only) 15

Vent Restrictor

WARNING: Restrictor adjustment should only be done by a qualified installer.

Only those installations determined to be over-drafting require this adjustment. The best indication

of over-drafting is a hyper-active flame pattern (flames that move too quickly). If the air shutter is

constricted, the flames become short and yellow, yet still very active. Over-drafting may affect the

pilot, but this is not the best way to determine over-drafting. Over-drafting is most likely in tall

venting configurations (especially if using an “Exhaust Only Re-Line”). Do not over-restrict the vent

(this leads to ghosting or lifting flames - reduce restrictor setting).

Remove the face.

To Adjust the Restrictor:

To Access the Restrictor:

This restrictor is in position 1

(factory setting). This restrictor is in

position 2.

Vent Location

• A vent restrictor is built into the appliance to adjust the flow rate of exhaust gases. This ensures

proper combustion for all vent configurations. Depending upon the vent configuration, you

may be required to adjust the restrictor position. The charts for acceptable vent configurations

detail the correct vent restrictor position.

Use a kibble to cover any exposed screws. You

may wish to flatten the kibble to provide better

coverage.

Place other kibbles around the burner

as needed (do not cover any burner

holes).

Finalizing the Installation 25

Steps for Finalizing the Installation

1. Remove the glass (see page 21).

NOTE: If using propane (LP) convert the appliance prior to installing the logs.

2. We recommend you purge the gas line at this time (with the glass removed). This allows gas to

be detected once it enters the firebox, ensuring gas does not build up.

3. Turn on gas to the heater. Leak test all gas joints prior to starting the appliance. Start the pilot.

Start the main burner. Leak test all gas joints again.

4. Check the pilot flame following the directions below.

Pilot Flame Inspection

The pilot flame should look like the illustration below. Adjust the pilot flame if necessary.

Standard

Screwdriver

The pilot flame must contact the thermocouple and

thermopile (see the illustration below). Adjust the pilot up or

down as necessary.

To adjust the pilot flame, turn this screw. Clockwise

lowers the flame while counter-clockwise raises it.

5. Install the logs (see page 23).

6. Replace the glass.

7. Check the air shutter following the directions below.

Air Shutter Adjustment

Let the heater burn for fifteen minutes (make sure the logs and glass are in place. The flames should

look like the illustration below. Adjust the air shutter, if necessary, to achieve the correct looking flame.

NOTE: If the air control is all the way open,

yet the flames remain sooty, shut off gas to

the fireplace and contact a qualified gas

service technician.

Correct

Flames should be blue at the

base, yellow-orange on the top. If the flames are over 14" tall or sooty on

the ends, open the air shutter.

Not Enough Air

If the flames are all blue and

short, close the air shutter.

Too Much Air

NOTE: The logs must be installed correctly to

monitor the flame while adjusting the air shutter.

Move the controls left or right until the flame

looks correct. Pushing to the right gives the

flame more air, making it more blue.

Pushing to the left gives the flame less air,

making it more orange.

Air Shutter

26 Finalizing the Installation

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 Adjustment:

Only those installations determined to be over-drafting require this adjustment. See the instructions on

page 15 for details.

Air Shutter Hints:

• For more glow, open the air shutter, however, this will make the flames more blue.

• For yellow flames, close the air shutter, however, this may create less glow.

The flames should burn right

off the top of the burner ports

(if they are too blue, adjust

the air control).

Lifting flames indicate

insufficient draft (restrictor

is set too high).

Burner Burner Ports

(holes)

Ghosting flames indicate

insufficient air (restrictor set too

high, air shutter shut down, or

other venting error).

Lifting FlamesCorrect Flames Ghosting Flames Flickering Flames

Flickering, short flames

indicate excessive draft

(move air shutter to a higher

position).

Warning: If the vent configuration is installed incorrectly the vent may cause the flames inside the heater to

lift or “ghost” – a dangerous situation. Inspect the flames after installation to insure proper

performance. If the vent confi

uration is correct,

et the flames are liftin

hostin

, shut off

to the heater and contact the dealer for information on remedying the problem.

8. Replace the glass.

9. Attach the face following the directions included with the face.

NOTE: If using a Rosario or Discovery face you may wish to modify the face connector (see

page 11 for details).

NOTE: If using the Arched, Artisan, Metropolitan, or Victorian Lace Face you must use the face

mounting brackets included with the heater (see page 12 for details).

10. Turn the flame adjust knob to its highest position - the flames should not contact the top of the

firebox. 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.

11. Give this manual to the home owner and fully explain the operation of this heater.

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 21).

aRemove the glass (see page 21 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

Operation 29

Starting the Heater 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 heater - this is normal.

• Blue Flames will occur on the heater 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 heater on and off. If this is the case,

leave the ON/OFF switch "ON".

Propane (LP) appliances, to

experience a "pop" when the

burner is shut off.

Normal Operating Odors

This appliance has several areas that reach high temperatures. Dust or other particles on these

areas 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.

Maintenance 31

Maintaining Your Heater's Appearance

Fingerprints or other marks left on the optional plated surface may become etched in place if they

are not wiped clean prior to turning the heater on. Clean the plated surfaces with denatured

alcohol and a soft cloth (with the heater cool). Other cleaners may leave a film that may become

etched into the surface.

Yearly Service Procedure

• Failure to inspect and maintain the heater may lead to improper combustion and a potentially dangerous

situation. We recommend the following procedures be done by a qualified technician.

1. Check 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.

2. Shut off gas to the heater by turning the gas control knob to "OFF" (see step A under "Starting the Pilot" on

page 28). Let the heater cool for 15 minutes. Remove the face (see the instructions included with the face)

and glass (see page 21).

3. Remove the log set (NOTE: the logs are very fragile - see page 23). 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 heater will require adjustment. Contact your dealer.

4. Clean the burner (especially the burner holes) and inspect the following:

• Make sure the burner is not warped, cracked, 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 burner holes.

Make sure the

burner is not

warped or

damaged.

Check the walls and ceiling of the firebox for

deterioration.

Thermopile

Pilot Hood

Thermocouple

Before Disassembly -

Check the pilot flame. It

should touch the

5. Replace the log set. Clean and replace the glass (use non-abrasive cleaner - if damaged, replace). 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.

6. Inspect the area behind the access door. Check the gas control valve and the gas lines. If damage is

found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service. Clean the air channels, ducts, and the area

around the blower.

7. Start 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.

8. Remove any debris or vegetation near the vent termination. Contact your dealer if any sooting or

deterioration is found near the vent termination.

Maintenance 33

How this Heater Works

This heater was designed with safety as the primary concern. Many of the components inside this

heater are for safety purposes. Therefore, only certified gas service technicians should service this

heater.

What Turns the Main Burners On and Off

This heater 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 heater on and off, this heater 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

burner.

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.

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.

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.

Pilot Flame

The pilot flame is a time-proven

component that eliminates the possibility

of gas buildup inside the firebox.

Thermocouple

The thermocouple generates a small

amount of electricity. If the pilot flame

goes out, the gas valve automatically

shuts 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.
