firefighters declare them to be safe.
NO ODOR DETECTED. ODOR FADE
Somepeoplecannotsmell well. Some people cannot smell the
odor of the chemical put into the gas. You must find outifyou
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 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.
SOMEPomTSTOREMEMBER
. Learn to recognize the odor ofLP-gas. Your local LP-Gas
Dealer can give you a "Scratch and Sniff" pamphlet. Use itto
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
ofLP-Gas prior to and while lighting pilot lights or perform-
ing 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 ofLP-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
Page 4
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, caD your LP-gas
dealer. A 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 immedi-
ately. 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.

(mobile) home, where not prohibited by state or local codes.
· Aftermarket: Completion of sale, not for purpose of resale,
from the manufacturer.
This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indicated on the
rating plate. This appliance is not convertible for use with other
gases.
Well Head Gas Installations
Some natural gas utilities use "well head" gas. This may affect the
Btu output of the unit. Contact the gas company for the heating
value. Contact the manufacturer or your gas company before
changing spud/orifice size.
WARNING: ANY CHANGE TO THIS HEATER OR ITS
CONTROLS CAN BE DANGEROUS.
Improper Installation or use of the beater can cause
serious injury or death from fire, burns, explosion or
carbon monoxide poisoning,
Operation
This unvented fireplace requires no outside venting. This unvented
fireplace is designed for vent-free operation with flue damper
closed. State and local codes in some areas prohibit the use of
unvented fireplace.
VFHS.20R 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 and turn captured screw clock-
wise firmly to re-seal. Do not over torque. Check for gas leaks.
Millivolt System, VFHS.20R Only
When you ignite the pilot, the thermocouple produces millivolts
(electrical current) which energizes the magnet in the gas valve.
After 30 seconds to I 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 (I) to two (2) minutes before you turn
the gas control knob from thePll..OT 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.
W ARNlNG: This appliance is equipped for (natural gas or
propane) gas. Field conversion is not pennitted.

Water vapor is a by-product of gas combustion. An unvented room
heater produces approximately one (I) ounce (3oml) of water for
every 1,000 BTU's (.3KW's) of gas input per hour. .
Unvented room heaters are recommended as supplemental heat (a
room) rather than a primary heat source (an entire house). In most
supplemental heat applications, the water vapor does not create a
problem. In most applications, the water vapor enhances the low
humidity atmosphere experienced during cold weather.
The following steps will help insure that water vapor does not
become a problem.
I. Be sure theheateris sized properly for the application, including
ample combustion air and circulation air.
2. Ifhigh humidity is experienced, a dehumidifier may be used to
help lower the water vapor content of the air.
3. Do not use an unvented room heater as the primary heat source.
PRO\ ISIO~S FOR \I>EQI' HE e<nIlHSTIO:\ s.. \'E:\T1L \TIO:\ \IR
This heater shall not be installed in a confined space or unusually
tight construction unless provisions are provided for adequate com-
bustion and ventilation air.
The National Fuel Gas Code defines a confined space as a space
whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour
(4.8103 per kw) pf the aggregate input rating of all appliances in-
stalled in that space and an unconfined space as a space whose
volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8
103 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed
in that space. Rooms communicating directly with the space in
which the appliances are installed, through openings not furnished
with doors, are considered a part of the unconfined space.
Unusually Tight Construction
The air that leaks around doors and windows may provide enough
fresh air for combustion and ventilation. However, in buildings of
unusually tight construction, you must provide additional fresh
air.
Unusually tight construction is defined as construction
where:
a. Walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere have
a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of one perm
or less with openings gasketed or sealed, and
b. Weatherstripping has been added on openable windows
and doors, and
c. Caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as joints
around window and door frames, between sole plates and
Page 6
floors, between wall-ceilingjoints, between wall panels, at
penetrations for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines, and at
other openings.
If your home meets all of the three criteria above, you must
provide additional fresh air. See "Ventilation Air From
Outdoors," page 7.
Determining ilYou Have a Conf"med or Unconf"med Space
Use this worksheet to determine if you have a confined or
unconfined space.
Space: Includes the room in which you will install heater plus any
adjoining rooms with doorless passageways or ventilation grills
between the rooms.
1. Determine the volume ofthe space (length x width x height).
Length x Width x Height = cu. ft. (volume
of space)
Example: Space size 16 ft. (length) x 10 ft. (width) x 8 ft.
(ceiling height) = 1,280 cu. ft. (volume of space)
If additional ventilation to adjoining room is supplied with
grills or openings, add the volume of these rooms to the total
volume of the space.
2. Divide the space volume by 50 cubic feet to determine the
maximum BTUIHr the space can support.
(volume of space) + 50 cu. ft. = (maximum
BTUlHr the space can support)
Example: 1,280 cu. ft. (volume of space) +50cu. ft. =25.60r
25,600 (maximum BTUIHr the space can support)
16003-0-0903
3. Add the BTUIHr of all fuel burning appliances in the space.
Vent-free heater BTUIHr
Gas water heater BTUIHr
Gas furnace BTUIHr
Vented gas heater BTUIHr
Gas fireplace logs BTUIHr
Other gas appliances* + BTUIHr
Total = BTUIHr
Example: Vented gas heater 20,000 BTUIHr
Vent-free heater + 18,000 BTUIHr
Total = 38,000 BTUIHr
*Do not inclyde direct-vent gas appliances. Direct vent dr3ws
combustion air from the outdoors and vents to the outdoors.
4. Compare the maximum BTUIHr the space can support with
the actual amount of BTUIHr used.
BTUIHr (maximum the space can support)
BTUIHr (actual amount of BTUIHr used)
Example:
25,600 BTUIHr (maximum the space can support)
38,000 BTUIHr (actual amount of BTUIHr used~
Warning: If the area in which the heater may be operated is
smaller than that defined as an unconfined space or if the building
is of unusually tight construction, provide adequate combustion
and ventilation air by one of the methods described in the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223. I, Section 5.3 or applicable
local codes.
The space in the above example is a confined space because the
actual BTUIHr used is more than the maximum BTUIHR the
space can support. You must provide additional fresh air. Your
options are as follows:
A. Rework worksheet, adding the space of an adjoining room. If
the extra space provides an unconfined space, remove door to
adjoining room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See
Ventilation Air From Inside Building.
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventilation Air
From Outdoors.
C. Install a lower BTUIHr heater, if lower BTUlHr size makes
room unconfined.
If the actual BTUIHr used is less than the maximum BTUIHr the
space can support, the space is an unconfined space. You will
need no additional fresh air ventilation.
WARNING: You must provide additional ventilation
air in a conf"med space.
VENTILATION AIR
Ventilation Air From Inside Building (Figure I)
This fresh air would come from an adjoining unconfined space.
When ventilating to an adjoining unconfined space, you must
provide two permanent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling
and one within 12" of the floor on the wall connecting the two
spaces (see options I and 2, Figure I). You can also remove door
into adjoining room (see option 3, Figure I). Each ventilation grill
or opening shall have a minimum free area of one square inch per

to the outdoors or spaces open to the outdoors. These spaces
include attics and crawl spaces. In most cases for direct
communication with the outdoors ordirectcommunication through
a vertical duct a free area opening of one square inch per 4,000
BTUH of heater input rating for each grill. If a horizontal duct is
used, a grill free area or duct opening shall have a free area
opening of one square inch per 2,000 BTUH for each grill. Follow
the National Fuel Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.I. Section 5.3 Air
for Combustion and Ventilation for required size of ventilation
grills or ducts.

Note: Since some municipalities have additional local codes, it is
always best to consult your local autbority and installation code.
Iustalling a New 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 forinstallation or
relocation.
Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping shall beresistant
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 wiD sustain damage!
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 line be installed near the
gas inlet. 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.
The use of the following gas connectors is recommended:
ANS Z2L24 Appliance Connectors of Corrugated Metal
Tubing and Fittings
ANS Z2L45 Assembled Flexible Appliance Connectors of
Other Than All-Metal Constroction
The above connectors may be used if acceptable by the authority
having jurisdiction.
Pressure Testing of the Gas Supply System
I. To check the inlet pressure to the gas valve, a 1/8" (3mm)
N.P. T. plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge connection,
must be placed immediately upstream of the gas supply
connection to the appliance.
Page 8
2. The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must Ix"
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during an)
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of
1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
3. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

Placement of the embers (rock wool) is very individual and light
coverage of the areas indicated will provide your best effects.
We recommend separation of the rock wool by hand and make
your coverage as light and fluffy as possible.
Place just enough embers (rock wool) on the burner to obtain the
glow and a gold yellow flame.
Do not place rock wool over large ports in rear portion of burner.
A thin layer of rock wool should be placed under open space
between the right and left middle logs.
Rock wool should not be placed in the area of the pilot assembly.
Replacement of loose material (glowing embers) must be
purchased from Empire Comfort Systems, Inc. Application of
excess loose material (glowing embers) may adversely affect
performance of the heater. WARNING: All previously applied
,
loose material must be removed prior to reapplication.
Refer to Parts List, Page 20 to order loose material (rock wool).

Flames from the pilot (rear right back side of the pan burner) as
well as the main flame should be visually checked as the log set is
installed.
In nonnal operation at full rate after 10 to 15 minutes, the flame
appearance should be sets of yellow flames.
NOTE: a1] flames will be random by design, flame height will go
up and down.
Glowing embers (rock wool) can cover the pan burner in between
the front and middle logs. but very little is necessary to co= this
area. Excess ember material causes the yellow flame to become
orange and stringy. Apply just enough to obtain slow glow and a
gold. yellow flame.
Avoid any drafts that alter burner flame patterns. Do not a1]ow
fans to blow directly into fireplace. Do not place a blower inside
the burner area of the firebox. Ceiling fans may create drafts that
alter flame patterns. Sooting and improper burning will result.

During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various
components of this appliance are treated with certain oils, films
or bonding agents. These chemicals are not hannful, but may
produce annoying smoke and smells as they are burned off during
the initial operation of the appliance, possibly causing headaches
or eye or lung irritation. This is a normal and temporary
occurrence.
The initial break-in operation should last 2-3 hours with the burner
at the highest selling. Provide maximum ventilation by opening
windows or doors to a1]ow odors to dissipate. Any odors remaining
after this initial break-in will be slight and will disappear with
continued use.
This appliance must not be used with glass doors in the closed
position. This can lead to pilot outages and severe sooting outside
the fireplace.
