Installation 7 (for qualified installers only) Installation Warnings ! Failure to follow all of the requirements may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death. ! This heater must be installed by a qualified installer who has gone through a training program for the installation of direct vent gas appliances. ! This appliance must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, follow current ANSI Z223.1 or NFPA 54.
Installation 8 (for qualified installers only) Heater Placement Requirements • Heater must be installed on a level surface capable of supporting the heater and vent • Due to the high temperature, the heater should be located out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.
Installation 9 (for qualified installers only) Vent Requirements ! Always maintain the required 1” clearance (air space) to combustible materials to prevent a fire hazard. 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.
Installation 10 (for qualified installers only) Approved Vent Configurations Restrictor Position • A vent restrictor is built into the appliance to control the flow rate of exhaust gases. This ensures proper flames for the wide variety of vent configurations. Depending upon the vent configuration, you may be required to adjust the restrictor position. The charts for approved vent configurations describe which position the vent restrictor must be in.
Installation 11 (for qualified installers only) Vertical Terminations with 0, 2, or 4 45° Offsets Offset Length None 1' Section 2' Section 3' Section 4' Section Vert. Rise 1' 1' 7" 2' 4" 3' 3' 8" Horizontal Offset Vertical Rise Offset Length The termination must fall within the shaded area shown in the chart. Use the indicated restrictor position. 30 feet 25 feet 20 feet 15 feet Restrictor Position # 7 NOTE: Restrictor positions are based upon lab tests.
Installation 12 (for qualified installers only) Approved Venting Configurations with a Horizontal Termination If using a Snorkel Termination (14” or 36”) add the snorkel height to the vertical height (snorkel terminations are used primarily for basement installations). • The termination must fall within the shaded area shown in the chart. Use restrictor position #1.
Installation 13 (for qualified installers only) Vertical Terminations with Two or Three 90° Elbows 38' (max) 35 feet 30 feet 25 feet 20 feet 15 feet 25'(max) 20 feet 15 feet 10 feet 5 feet The termination must fall within the shaded area shown in the chart. Use the indicated restrictor position.
Installation 14 (for qualified installers only) Termination Requirements (see the illustration below) A Minimum 9" clearance from any door or window B Minimum 12" above any grade, veranda, porch, deck or balcony C Minimum 12" from outside corner walls D Minimum 12" from inside corner walls Roof Surface 11” Min. 6” Min.
Installation 15 (for qualified installers only) Finalizing the Installation ! Turn the gas control valve to “OFF” prior to conducting any service. 1 Open the door (see page 17). 2 Install the log set and coals (see page 18). ! We recommend you purge the gas line at this time (with the door open). This allows gas to be detected once it enters the firebox, ensuring gas does not build up. 3 Close and secure the door (see page 17). 4 Turn on gas to the heater.
Installation 16 FINE TUNING THE EMBER-FYRE™ (for qualified installers only) 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 (pages 10-13).

ON/OFF Switch AAA AA AAA AA AA AAA AA A A PILOT IGNITER The on/off switch is located on the back of the heater.
Operation 21 Starting The Pilot Flame 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.
Operation 22 Starting the Heater for the First Time Cleaning Gold Surfaces Fingerprints or other marks left on gold surfaces may become etched in place if they are not wiped clean prior to turning the stove on. With the heater cool, clean gold surfaces with denatured alcohol and a soft cloth. Fumes from the Painted Surfaces Curing Burn the heater at a medium setting for approximately one hour the first time. This will cure the painted surfaces.
Operation 23 Adjusting the Blower Speed The blower helps transfer heat from the heater into the room. It will not turn on until the heater is up to temperature (approximately 10 minutes after starting). See the illustration below for instructions on adjusting the blower speed. OFF Turn the dial all the way counter-clockwise until it clicks off. LOW HIGH Turn the dial all the way clockwise. The high position is all the way counter-clockwise, without clicking off.
Maintenance 24 Cleaning Your Heater Warning: 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 stove on. With the heater cool, use denatured alcohol and a soft cloth to clean gold surfaces. Other cleaners may leave a film that may become etched into the gold. Yearly Service Procedure Warning: Failure to inspect and maintain the heater may lead to improper combustion and a potentially dangerous situation.

Maintenance 26 How this Heater Works Warning 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 When heated, the thermopile generates electricity (a very small amount measured in "Millivolts"). This electricity is used to operate the main burners.
