Sample Warnings and Definitions:
DANGER Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury. N__O_T__IC__E_:_A_d_d_r_e_s_s_e_s_p_r_a_c_ti_c_e_s_n_o_t_r_e_la_te_d__to__p_e_r_so_n_a_l_i_n_ju_r_y_. ___
Read all instructions before starting installation and follow them carefully to ensure safety. Failure to follow the instructions will void the warranty and may cause a fire hazard.
The warranty will be voided by, and the warranter disclaims any responsibility for the following actions:
· Installation by anyone other than the dealer or his agent. · Installation of any damaged fireplace or component. · Modification of the fireplace or direct vent system. · Installation other than as instructed by Empire Comfort
Systems. · Improper positioning of logs, glass door, or accessories. · Installation and/or use of any component part not
manufactured or approved by Empire Comfort Systems.
All correspondence should refer to complete Model Number, Serial Number and type of gas. Fill out the Homeowner Reference Section. (See Page 3).
Unpacking The Fireplace
1. Cut away shrink-wrap material around the unit. Retain instruction manual and instruction sheets.
2. Remove non-combustible board from the rear of the fireplace, and place in a safe location. It will be needed for installation.
3. Get help to lift fireplace.

Television Considerations
Installing a television above a fireplace has become increasingly popular; however, the area above any fireplace gets hot and most TV manufacturers recommend against placing their products near a heat source.
If you install a television above this fireplace, Empire Comfort Systems accepts no responsibility for damage or injuries. Follow the television manufacturer's installation instructions, including any recommendations regarding proximity to heat sources.
If you have a TV above your fireplace, turn off the fireplace and let it cool completely before servicing or touching any buttons on the TV.

BEFORE YOU START (CONT'D)

Preparation
This fireplace and its components are safe when installed in accordance with this manual. Report any parts damaged in shipment to your dealer. Do not install the fireplace with damaged, incomplete or substitute parts.
Installation Considerations
· Gas supply piping ­ right or left side entrance
· Electrical supply and connections 120V, 60Hz, 1 Amp, right side entrance
· Allowable fireplace mounting surfaces:
1. A flat, hard, combustible or non-combustible surface
2. A raised platform of combustible or non-combustible material.
3. The four corners of the fireplace onto non-combustible material so that contact is made on all four perimeter edges on the bottom of the fireplace ­ such as on cinder blocks (where allowed by local codes).
· If the fireplace is installed directly on carpeting, tile or other combustible material other than wood flooring, it should be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the fireplace.
· This fireplace is designed to be installed in a zero-clearance enclosure. Combustible material can come in contact with the side standoff spacers, and the fireplace can be secured to combustible framing with the framing brackets provided with the fireplace.
Planning the installation
First determine where the fireplace will be located and what accessories will be installed.
Your location must allow for:
· Venting ­ either vertical or horizontal. Choose a vent configuration, (See Pages 34-36) and make sure the required access through attics and walls is not blocked by other utilities such as water lines, sewer vents, gas lines, etc. If access is blocked, you will need to move the utilities or relocate the fireplace.
· Gas supply piping (right or left side of entrance) ­ (See pipe size and specs on Page 17).
· Electrical supply requirements (120V, 60Hz, 1 Amp) (right side entrance)
· Proper framing required for installation of the fireplace. See framing dimensions on (See Page 22).
· Finishing the fireplace ­ drywall thickness, tile or stone thickness, and the desired decorative accessories can affect how you frame the opening and how you attach the nailing flanges to set the proper depth. (See Pages 23 - 24) for finishing details, before you begin.

Accessories
Most accessories install much more easily before fitting the fireplace to the opening.
For example, it takes just 10-15 minutes to install the blower side before it's framed in. Once the fireplace is framed in, it takes up to an hour.

Instructions to Installer 1. Leave this manual with homeowner. 2. Have the homeowner complete the product registration card
or register online at www.empirecomfort.com 3. Show the homeowner how to start and operate the fireplace.
Notes to Installer · This direct-vent fireplace is designed to:
- Operate with combustion air drawn from outside of the building.
- Expel all exhaust gases to the outside of the building. · The installation must conform with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54* Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, or CSA B149.1 in Canada. * Available from the American National Standards Institute, Inc. 11 West 42nd St., New York, N.Y. 10036 · Any alteration of the original design, installation other than as shown in these instructions, or use with a type of gas not shown on the rating plate is the responsibility of the person and company making the change. · This fireplace is not for use with solid fuels. · These fireplace models may be installed in a bedroom or bed-sitting room in the U.S.A. and Canada.
WARNING
Any change to this fireplace can be dangerous. Improper installation or use can cause serious injury or death from fire, burns, explosion or carbon monoxide poisoning.

Fireplace Certification This fireplace is design certified in accordance with American National Standard/CSA Standard ANSI Z21.88/CSA 2.33 and by Underwriters Laboratories as a Direct Vent Gas Fireplace Heater and shall be installed according to these instructions. Consult your local building code agency, prior to installation, to ensure compliance with local codes-including permits and inspections. The fireplace, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in absence of local codes, with the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70 or Canadian Electric code, CSA C22.1, if an external electrical source is utilized.
Qualified Installing Agency Installation and replacement of gas piping, gas utilization equipment or accessories and repair and servicing of equipment shall be performed only by a qualified agency. The term "qualified agency" means any individual, firm, corporation or company which either in person or through a representative is engaged in and is responsible for (a) the installation or replacement of gas piping or (b) the connection, installation, repair or servicing of equipment, who is experienced in such work, familiar with all precautions required and has complied with all the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction.
Commonwealth of Massachusetts: The installation must be made by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Requirements on Page 53.
High Altitude (USA) When installing this fireplace at an elevation above 2000 feet (in the United States) it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by changing the existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Generally, input should be reduced 4 percent for each 1000 feet above sea level.
High Altitude (CANADA) Altitude: 0-4500 feet (0-1370 meters) When installing this fireplace at an elevation above 4500 feet (in Canada), check with local authorities. Consult your local gas utility for assistance in determining the proper orifice for your location.

NOTICE: Never use plastic pipe. Check to confirm whether your local codes allow copper tubing or galvanized. NOTICE: Because some municipalities have additional local codes, consult your local authority and installation code.
The use of the following gas connectors is recommended: -- ANSI Z21.24 Appliance Connectors of Corrugated Metal Tubing
and Fittings. -- ANSI Z21.45 Assembled Flexible Appliance Connectors of
Other Than All-Metal Construction The above connectors may be used if acceptable by the authority having jurisdiction. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires that a flexible appliance connector cannot exceed three feet in length. A gas valve and ground joint union should be installed in the gas line upstream of the gas control to aid in servicing. It is required by the National Fuel Gas Code that a drip leg be installed near the gas inlet. See Figure 25. This should consist of a vertical length of pipe tee connected into the gas line that is capped on the bottom in which condensation and foreign particles may collect.
Installing a New Main Gas Supply Valve (Check Local Code) Each appliance should have its own manual gas supply valve. A manual main gas supply valve 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.

NOTICE: The millivolt gas controls are equipped with a captured screw type pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to provide a 1/8 inch test point up stream of the control. On direct ignition valves, hex plugs may be replaced with hose fittings for pressure checks, then reinstalled before operating fireplace. When using copper or flex connector use only approved fittings. The fireplace 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).

WARNING

Pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (14 inches w.c.) (3.5kPa) on the fireplace gas valve, may damage the valve.

Checking Manifold Pressures Both Propane and Natural Gas valves have a built-in pressure regulator.
Natural Gas models will have a manifold pressure of approximately 3.5 inches w.c. (.871kPa) at the valve outlet with the inlet pressure to the valve from a minimum of 4.5 inches w.c. (1.120kPa) for the purpose of input adjustment to a maximum of 14.0 inches w.c. (3.484kPa).
Propane Gas models will have a manifold pressure approximately 10.0 inches w.c. (2.49kPa) at the valve outlet with the inlet pressure to the valve from a minimum of 10.8 inches w.c. (2.68kPa) for the purpose of input adjustment to a maximum of 14.0 inches w.c. (3.484 kPa).

SAFETY INFORMATION FOR USERS OF PROPANE GAS

Propane is flammable and can cause fires 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 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.
PROPANE GAS WARNING ODOR
If a gas leak happens, you should be able to smell the gas because of the odorant put in the Propane Gas. That's your signal to go into immediate action!
· Do not operate electric switches, light matches, or 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. · Propane 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. · Use your neighbor's phone and call a trained Propane 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 technician and firefighters check for escaped gas. Have them air out the area before you return. Properly trained Propane Gas service people should repair the leak, then check and relight the gas appliance for you.
NO ODOR DETECTED - ODOR FADE 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 Propane 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 in Propane 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.

Propane Gas may stratify in a closed area, and the odor intensity could vary at different levels. Because 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 Propane Gas. Your
local Propane 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 Propane Gas has a weak or abnormal odor, call your Propane Gas Dealer. · If you are not qualified, do not light pilot lights, perform service, or make adjustments to appliances on the Propane Gas system. If you are qualified, consciously think about the odor of Propane 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 Propane 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 Propane Gas. · Odors fade, due to oxidation by rust or adsorption on walls of new cylinders and tanks. 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 Propane Gas Dealer. A periodic sniff test of the Propane Gas is a good safety measure under any condition. · If, at any time, you do not smell the Propane 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 Propane 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.

VERTICAL DIMENSION FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE UNIT TO THE CENTER OF THE FLUE OUTLET WITH VERTICAL OR HORIZONTAL TERMINATION CAPS

VENTING FIREPLACE - TOP

To Use the Vent Graph 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 floor of the unit is 35 feet, the horizontal run to the outer wall flange must not exceed 6.5 feet.
EXAMPLE B: If the vertical dimension from the floor of the unit is 6.5 feet, the horizontal run to the outer wall flange must not exceed 14.5 feet.
SPECIAL NOTICE: For each 45-degree elbow installed in the horizontal run, the length of the horizontal run MUST be reduced by 18 inches (457 millimeters). This does not apply if the 45-degree elbows are installed on the vertical part of the vent system. Reduce 3 feet for every 90-degree elbow.
Example: According to the chart the maximum horizontal vent length is 20 feet and if two 45-degree elbows are required in the horizontal vent it must be reduced to 17 feet.
The maximum number of 45-degree elbows permitted per side wall installation is two. These elbows can be installed in either the vertical or horizontal run.
NOTICE: Do not count the first elbow on vertical venting.

Figures 48 to 50 show the location and recommended openings for the flue restrictor. Adjustments may be made for each particular installation.

Below-Grade Installation When it is not possible to meet the required vent termination clearances of 12 inches (305millimeters) above grade level, a snorkel kit is recommended. It allows installation depth down to 7 inches (178millimeters) below-grade level. The 7 inches (178millimeters) is measured from the center of the horizontal vent pipe as it penetrates through the wall. Observe the sidewall venting clearances. If the venting system is installed below-grade, 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 studs. This will avoid any extra framing. Assemble the vent pipes on the unit after it is moved into the final position.
Cutting the Hole After the fireplace has been positioned in its permanent location, cut the hole through the exterior wall of the house. This hole must be 10 inches (254 millimeters) high x 10-5/8 inches (270 millimeters) wide with its center line determined by the amount of vertical rise and horizontal run of the termination. See Figure 55. When locating the hole, the bottom of the must be 12 inches (305 millimeters) above the ground level, and top of the cap must be no less than 18 inches (457 millimeters) below a combustible projection, and at least 9 inches (229 millimeters) to any wall running parallel to vent termination.

VERTICAL TERMINATION

Locate and mark the center point of the vent pipe using a nail on the underside of the roof. Drive the nail through the center point. Mark the outline of the roof hole around this center point.
NOTICE: Size of the roof hole dimensions depend on the pitch of the roof. Maintain a 2 inch (50millimeter) clearance 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 water-tight seal. Non-hardening sealant should be used to completely seal this flashing 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 to prevent a fire. These specifications are summarized in Figure 64.

General Maintenance Inspect venting system semi-annually as follows: 1. Check for corrosion areas of the venting system exposed to
the elements. These will appear as rust spots or streaks and, in extreme cases, holes. Replace damaged components should immediately. 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 inner liner and subsequently dripping out at joints. Condensate can cause corrosion of caps, pipe and fittings. 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 fittings have been disturbed and, consequently, loosened. Also, check mechanical supports, such as wall straps or plumbers' tape for rigidity.
Venting termination 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 flue connection.
NOTICE: 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 65.
Installing the Vent System in a Chase A chase is a vertical structure built to enclose the gas fireplace and/ or its vent system. Vertical vent runs on the outside of a building may be, but are not required to be installed inside a chase.

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 65
CAUTION
Installation requirements for firestop spacers and construction of the chase may vary with the type of building. Check local building codes to determine the requirements.
NOTICE: Build the chase large enough to the minimum clearance of combustible materials (including insulation) to the vent system. When installing the vent system in a chase, insulate the chase as you would the outside walls of your home. This is especially important in cold climates. Upon completion of chase framing, install the vent system by following the instructions in this manual.

NOTICE: DVVK-4F Flex Vent Kit requires the SD46DVA-FCFX7 Flex Adaptor Collar Assembly, (purchased separately). When installing a horizontal vent run from top connections, maintain at least a 1/2 inch rise for every 12 inches of vent run.

NOTICE
Always stretch and secure venting with wire or metal strapping to ensure that the horizontal runs do not sag. Vent connections should overlap a minimum of 1 inch for proper sealing.

WARNING
Because of sharp edges, always wear gloves when handling the flex vent components.
Follow the general venting requirements for vent termination location, vent lengths, and clearance to combustible materials.
Installing the DV Horizontal Flex Vent Kit 1. Unpack vent kit components and check for damaged or
missing components. 2. 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. Replace the existing fireplace vent adapter with the fireplace adapter included in the vent kit. Install the adapter collar with the screws removed from the fireplace. 4a. Install the Wall Firestop/Thimble to the framed wall assembly using common nails (not supplied) 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 framed opening should be 11 inches wide by 11 inches high. The minimum combustible clearance from the horizontal vent is 2 inches from sides and bottom, and 3 inches above the vent pipe. See Figure 69.

MILLIVOLT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (BP3 SERIES)

Millivolt System The standing pilot burns continuously 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 you can release the gas control knob and the pilot will stay ON. Allow the pilot flame to burn an additional one to two minutes before you turn the gas control knob from the PILOT position to the ON position. This allows current millivolt build-up to a sufficient level to operate the gas control 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 barrier screen.
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. NOTICE: 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 73. Rotate the knob clockwise to "HI" to increase the flame height and counterclockwise to "LO" to decrease the flame height. 3. When the heating season ends, turn the REMOTE OFF/ON switch to "OFF" and the control valve to "OFF". The system, including the pilot light, will shut down.
Figure 73 The OWNER should carefully read and follow these operating instructions. Initial Lighting Remove the barrier screen assembly to view the gas controls for the fireplace. Upon 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 this air. Once the purging is complete, the fireplace will light and operate satisfactorily. Subsequent lightings of the fireplace will not require purging if the gas valve is not turned to "OFF." Pilot Flame The pilot flame should cover the thermopile and thermocouple.
THERMOPILE

STANDING PILOT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS REMOTE OFF/ON SWITCH The fireplace is equipped with a REMOTE OFF/ON switch. A wire harness is attached to the REMOTE OFF/ON switch. The red, black and green (wires) female push-ons attach to the REMOTE OFF/ ON switch. At the opposite end of the wire harness, the black and green (wires) female push-ons attach to the gas valve. An additional green wire and the red wire, which are stripped and bare, will attach to one of the control accessories (purchase separately). Operation of REMOTE OFF/ON SWITCH with no Accessories To ignite main burner, turn the control knob on the gas valve from the PILOT position to the ON position. Turn the REMOTE/OFF/ON switch from the OFF position to the ON position. The additional green wire and red wire, which are stripped and bare are not used. Wall Switch, FWS-1 Connect the green and red wires, stripped and bare, on the wire harness to the wall switch. Turn the REMOTE OFF/ON switch to the REMOTE position. Pivot the rocker switch on the FWS-1 to the ON position. Wall Thermostats (optional) TRW - Wireless for Millivolt models TMV - Reed switch for Millivolt models Battery-Operated Remote Controls, FRBC, FRBTC, and TRW Connect the green and red wires on the wire harness to the remote receiver. Turn the REMOTE OFF/ON switch to the REMOTE position. Follow instructions included with the remote to complete installation. NOTICE: 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. Installation of Remote Receiver Place remote receiver on the floor of fireplace behind the barrier screen assembly as far forward as possible. NOTICE: 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 to turn captured screw clockwise firmly 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. Use wire of a gauge proper for the length of the wire:

MILLIVOLT STANDING PILOT TROUBLESHOOTING (BP3 SERIES)

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 Troubleshooting Guide below. This guide will assist a qualified service person in diagnosis and corrective action.

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 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 Propane in tank. --Check 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 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 Propane in tank. --Check Propane tank. Refill fuel tank. b. Inner vent pipe leaking exhaust gases back into system --Check for leaks. c. Door not installed correctly, gasket leaks in corners after usage. --Be certain door is installed correctly. d.

INTERMITTENT PILOT LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS (BP7 SERIES)

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING

WARNING
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

A. This appliance has a pilot which can be lit with the manual on/off switch, a remote control, or by switching the receiver switch to the "ON" position. When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.
B. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
What To Do If You Smell Gas · Do not try to light any appliance. · Do not touch any electrical switch; · Do not use any phone in your building. · Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions. · If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

C. Use only the remote control or manual remote receiver switch to operate the gas valve. Never use tools. If valve does not operate, don't try to repair it, call a qualified service technician. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
D. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.

IPI ELECTRONIC SYSTEM OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (BP7 SERIES)

ELECTRONIC CONTROL VALVE The electronic control valve system includes the ability to switch the pilot from a standing pilot mode to an intermittent pilot mode.
· IPI Mode - In the Intermittent Pilot mode, when the unit is turned ON, it will cause spark to the pilot, light the pilot, then allow the burner to light. When the unit is turned to OFF, both the burner and pilot will be OFF.
· CPI Mode - In the Continuous Pilot mode, the pilot remains ON continuously even when the burner is turned OFF.
NOTICE: A small toggle switch on the front of the module tray that is used to switch from IPI (left) to the CPI (right). See Figure 75.
When the unit is turned to ON, the electrical current will energize a spark to the pilot igniter. Once the pilot sensor heats up (after a few seconds), the valve will be energized, allowing gas to flow to the burner.
1. Follow the SAFETY and LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS for Intermittent Pilot controls found in this manual, and on labels found in the control compartment located in the lower cavity of the appliance.
2. During the heating season (or in power outage periods), it is recommended that the pilot remain in the CPI (standing pilot mode) to reduce cold start issues, and/or conserve battery backup power during a power outage.
3. The gas valve has inlet and outlet pressure taps as shown in Figure 75. Refer to pages 8 and 17 for gas pressure requirements.
NOTICE: The gas control has a manual HI/LO flame adjustment knob (regulator) that allows you to increase or decrease the height of the burner flame. See Figure 75. Rotate the HI/LO knob counterclockwise to "HI" to increase the flame height, and clockwise to "LO" to decrease the flame height.

OPTIONAL REMOTE CONTROLS Optional remote controls are available for use with this appliance. It is recommended that the remote receiver be placed either in a wall outlet box with extended wiring, or in the control compartment area as far forward as possible. The placement options for the remote receiver are given to allow flexibility, however battery life will be extended when the receiver is placed in cooler areas. To connect the remote receiver to the appliance, first disconnect the ON/OFF switch wires from the white and green wire connectors and connect the wires from the remote receiver to the green and white wire connectors. See Figure 75. Follow the instructions included with the remote control for programming and other operational information.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

NOTICE: It is normal for steel appliances to give off some expansion and/or contraction noise during start up or cooldown. Similar noises are found with your furnace heat exchanger or car engine.
It is normal for your gas fireplace to give off some odor the first 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 during initial warming - open a window.
Burn your fireplace for at least six hours the first time you use it. If optional fan kit has been installed, place fan control in the "OFF" position during this time.
IMPORTANT: Turn off gas before servicing appliance. Have a qualified 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.
Maintenance and Service The only recommended maintenance for the homeowner is periodically cleaning the glass. Before cleaning the glass read the warnings below.
This fireplace has no user-serviceable mechanical components. Contact your dealer or a qualified gas appliance service technician for all service and repair.
WARNING
· Handle the glass with care to avoid breaking it. Never strike the glass.
· To prevent etching or discoloring, clean the glass with Fireplace Glass Cleaner (available from your dealer). Never use cleaners that contain ammonia or abrasives.
· Never clean the glass while it is hot or even warm. Touching hot glass can cause severe burns. Using liquids or aerosols on hot glass will cause it to shatter.
· Never operate the fireplace with the glass removed or cracked.
· Have your dealer replace damaged glass only with glass and gasket material from Empire Comfort Systems. Using substitute glass will void the warranty.
Glass Cleaning Procedure Turn off the fireplace and allow it to cool for at least an hour. Wear clean protective gloves when handling the glass door to prevent injury to your hands and avoid leaving smudges.
1. Remove the barrier screen by lifting and pulling towards you. 2. Turn off gas valve. 3. Use a feather duster or soft cloth to remove any
accumulated dust in the bottom of fireplace and around valve. Avoid disturbing any wiring or metal tubing. 4. Locate the two spring clamps at the bottom of the glass frame. Pull out and downward to release them. 5. Remove the glass front by swinging the bottom outward. Hold the frame at the sides and gently lift up. 6. Clean the glass inside and out using a product specifically designed for fireplace glass. (Do not use glass cleaner that contains ammonia.)

7. Reinstall glass front by hanging the top of the frame on top of the firebox, making sure the gasket at the top is positioned in front of the firebox flange and not on top See Figure 78.
8. Gently lower the glass into position and secure with the two latches at the bottom.
9. Wipe off any smudges on the glass or frame. (Heat from the fireplace can cause residue on the frame to discolor the finish.)
10. Ignite the pilot. (See Lighting Instructions.) 11. Replace the barrier screen by hanging the top flange on the
door and swinging the bottom down. Adjust, if necessary, to sit squarely in the fireplace opening. 12. Light the fireplace and let it burn for 5 minutes. If either the pilot or the flames appear abnormal, contact your dealer.
· Check Vent System The appliance and venting system should be inspected before initial use and at least annually by a qualified service person. Inspect the external vent cap on a regular basis to make sure that no debris is interfering with the air flow.
General Glass Information
WARNING
Do not operate appliance with the glass front removed, cracked or broken.
Only glass approved for use by the manufacturer in fireplace may be used for replacement. Glass replacement should be done by a licensed or qualified service person.
Make periodic visual check of pilot and burners. Clean and replace damaged parts.
Additional maintenance and service checklist is provided on Page 54 for the service technician. These are only to be completed by a service technician.
