Empire OLL48FP12S Instructions D'installation Et Mode D'emploi page 10

• Within a partial enclosure that includes an overhead cover and
three side walls, as long as 30 percent or more of the horizontal
periphery (perimeter of walls and open side) of the enclosure
is permanently open. See Figure 8.
If installing in a screened in porch, the open space must be adjusted
(increased) from 30 percent (adjusted open space = 30% / % open
area of the screen mesh). "Example, if you used a screen with a
66% open area, the minimum open space of your building must
be 46% of the periphery. If you have a covered screened-in porch
that has two side walls that are 16', one wall that was against the
house that's 20' and one open side that's 20', you would have a
perimeter of 72'. You would need to have 33' of the perimeter open
(72' x 46% = 33')."
(Contact your screen manufacturer or screen dealer to
determine your screens open area).
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or
maintenance can cause property damage, personal injury
or loss of life. Installation and service must be performed
by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
Gas Line Connection
The fireplace is designed to accept a 1/2 in. gas line. Have the
line installed by a qualified service person in accordance with all
building codes. Consult local building codes to properly size the gas
supply line leading to the 1/2 in. hook-up at the unit. The state of
Massachusetts requires that a flexible fireplace connector cannot
exceed three feet in length.
A flex-line connection to the valves has have been provided. The
gas shut-off valve must be located outside of the unit in an
accessible area.
Check gas type on the rating label located on the back of the control
door. If the gas listed on the rating label located on the control pane,
does not match your gas supply, DO NOT INSTALL. Contact your
dealer for proper model or conversion kit.
Always use an external regulator for all Propane fireplaces to reduce
the supply tank pressure to a maximum of 13 in. w.c.
Connection directly to an unregulated propane tank can
cause an explosion.

WARNING
WARNING
Risk of fire, explosion or asphyxiation. Ensure no ignition
flame or spark are near during installation. This includes
cigarettes or cell phones.
Leak test all connections with a soap and water solution. Bubble
formation will indicate a leak. Use caution to avoid burns.
Water Drainage Requirement
Provisions must be made to drain water away from the unit. An
optional drain pan can be purchased from your Empire Dealer to
fit under the fireplace. If installing the optional drain pan, it must
be installed prior to installing the fireplace. For more information,
refer to the installation instructions supplied with the drain pan. If
this drain is not used, other water drainage is required.
