Service and Maintenance
Although most service should be conducted by a qualified service
person, there are several things that can be checked to ensure
safe and comfortable operation.
Keep the area surrounding the fireplace free from any types of
combustible materials. The filter should be checked and cleaned
on a monthly basis. All other maintenance should be conducted
by a qualified service person.
Circulating Air Blower
The circulating air blower should be checked and cleaned annu-
ally by a qualified service person to ensure that your appliance is
operating efficiently. Any dirt or lint can affect the operation of the
blower.

Heat Exchanger
The heat exchanger is located on the backside of the fireplace.
The heat exchanger should be inspected and cleaned annually by
a qualified service person.
Porcelain Liners
Over time a film may form on the porcelain liners. It is recommend-
ed to clean the liners with a high quality fireplace glass cleaner. To
clean the liners, the glass door will need to be removed. Follow the
directions for removing the glass door on pages 16 and 17.
If the liners need to be replaced, contact a qualified service person.
Only liners provided by Empire Comfort Systems can be used, any
substitute will void the warranty.
Filter
The filter is located on the inside of the lower louver panel (on
fireplaces equipped with FIK, FFK or FWK Surrounds) or on the
inside bottom flange of the surround (FHK Surrounds).
To clean the filter on fireplaces equipped with the lower louver
panel, simply remove the panel and disengage the filter rod from
its retaining holes.
For fireplaces equipped with louverless FHK surrounds, the en-
tire surround must be removed from the fireplace. This is accom-
plished by lifting and removing the surround from the support
bracket hooks. Remove the filter retainers and filters from the in-
side bottom flange by removing the screw holding the filter retainer
in place.
The filters may be rinsed with water or blown clean with com-
pressed air. Allow the filters to dry completely before reinstalling
them.
