FINE TUNING THE EMBER-FYRE™

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 (see pages 17-18). Turn the heateron and allow it to reach full temperature (15 min.). If the flames indicate there is excessive draft due to altitude orclimate, you may wish to adjust the restrictor to a more restrictive position (higher number). Active, flickering
short flames are an indication of excessive draft. If the flames lift off of the burner holes, this indicates notenough draft (restrictor is set too open). After adjustments are made the unit must be cooled down to room
temperature and restarted to make sure that the restriction is not so severe that the pilot will drop out when it isrestarted. If the pilot does drop out reduce the restriction until it will operate continuously.
Air Shutter Hints:
9. For more glow, open the air shutter, however, this will make the flames more blue.
10. For yellow flames, close the air shutter, however, this may create less glow.

Warning: If the vent configuration is installed incorrectly the vent may cause the flames inside the heater to lift or“ghost” – a dangerous situation. Inspect the flames after installation to insure proper performance. If thevent configuration is correct, yet the flames are lifting or ghosting, shut off gas to the heater and contact
the dealer for information on remedying the problem.

The pilot flame is required to ignite the mainburners (it also plays a safety role). It should beleft on once lit. It will stay lit unless the gas
control valve is turned to "OFF". However, thepilot will go out if the gas is shut off, thepropane tank runs out (or low) or if the stove
malfunctions. If the pilot turns off frequently,
call your dealer for information. To start thepilot follow the directions below:

Starting the Fireplace for the First Time+

Burn the heater at a high setting with the blower off for an extended period (up to 48 hours). This will
cure the painted surfaces. Fumes from the paint curing and oil burning off the steel will occur. This isnormal. We recommend opening a window to vent the room.

+

Condensation may appear on the glass each time you start the fireplace - this is normal.

+

Blue Flames will occur on the fireplace when it first comes on. After fifteen minutes the flames willturn a more realistic yellow and orange color.

•

Certain installations use a remote "wall switch" to turn the fireplace on and off. If this is the case, leave
the ON/OFF switch "ON".

Maintaining Your Fireplace's Appearance•

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 fireplace on. Clean the gold with denatured alcohol and a soft
cloth (with the fireplace cool). Other cleaners may leave a film that may become etched into the gold.

Failure to inspect and maintain the fireplace may lead to improper combustion and a potentially
dangerous situation. We recommend the following procedures be done by a qualified technician.
Check the pilot flame. It should touch approximately 3/8" of the top of the thermopile and touch the
top of the thermocouple (see illustration below). If it does not, contact your dealer for service.
Shut off gas to the fireplace by turning the gas control knob to "OFF" (see step A under "Starting the
Pilot" on page 34). Let the fireplace cool for 15 minutes. Remove the faceplate (see page 29) andglass (see page 27).
Remove the log set (NOTE: the logs are very fragile - see page 28). If severely deteriorated,
replace. Check the logs for sooting. A small amount of soot along the bottom of the logs is normal. If
excessive sooting is found, the fireplace will require adjustment. Contact your dealer.
Clean the burner (especially the burner holes) and inspect the following:•
Make sure the burner is not warped, cracked, or damaged.
•
Check the firebox and area around the pilot to make sure there is no warping or damage.
If any problem is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service.
Make sure theburner is notwarped or
damaged.

Check the walls and ceiling of the firebox fordeterioration.

Before Disassembly Check the pilot flame. It
should touch thethermocouple andthermopile.

Check the burner holes.

Replace the log set. Clean and replace the glass (use non-abrasive cleaner - if damaged, replace).
Make sure the gasket along the perimeter of the glass contacts the face of the firebox and forms an airtight seal. If it does not, re-align or replace the gasket to insure an air-tight seal. Replace the faceplate.
Inspect the area behind the access door. Clean if necessary. Check the gas control valve and the gaslines. If damage is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service. Clean the air channels
and ducts.
Start the pilot and turn on the main burner. The flames should be orange/yellow and not touch the topof the firebox. If the pilot or main burners do not burn correctly, contact your dealer for service.
Monitor the blower operation.
Remove any debris or vegetation near the vent termination. Contact your dealer if any sooting or
deterioration is found near the vent termination.

How this Fireplace Works•

This fireplace was designed with safety as the primary concern. Many of the components inside thisfireplace are for safety purposes. Therefore, only certified gas service technicians should service thisfireplace.

What Turns the Main Burners On and Off

When heated, the thermopile
generates electricity (a very small
amount measured in "Millivolts").

This electricity isused to operate themain burners.

The main burners
are switched on and
off using theelectricity generated
by the thermopile.
The ON/OFF switch,
remote control, or
thermostat control
the circuit to the mainburner.

MAIN BURNER

This fireplace uses a millivolt system to control its operation (a millivolt is a very small amount ofelectricity). The thermopile and thermocouple generate electricity when heated by the pilot flame.
This electricity is used to operate the gas valve. Without enough electricity, the gas valve will not turnon. That is why when starting the pilot the gas control knob has to be pressed in long enough for thethermocouple to heat up and generate enough electricity. The thermopile provides power for the
ON/OFF switch, remote control, or thermostat (see the illustration below). Because the thermopile
generates the electricity needed to turn the fireplace on and off, this fireplace can be operated when
the power is out (although the blower will not run).

ON

OFF

What Prevents Gas Buildup+This appliance utilizes a high-technology gas valve in conjunction with a pilot flame to ensure no gas
builds up inside the firebox.

+

The thermocouple (next to the pilot) senses when the pilot flame is lit. If the pilot flame goes out, thisthermocouple no longer generates electricity, causing the gas valve to automatically shut off all gas tothe heater, preventing the pilot from spilling gas into the firebox.

Pilot Flame
The pilot flame is a time-provencomponent that eliminates the possibilityof gas buildup inside the firebox.
Gas ValveThis high-technology valve automaticallyshuts off all gas if it does not receive a signal
from the thermocouple. If any component isdamaged or sensing a malfunction, or if thewiring is damaged, it will shut off all gas.
Thermocouple
The thermocouple generates a small
amount of electricity. If the pilot flame
goes out, the gas valve automaticallyshuts off all gas.

Travis Industries

External Shut Off Valve
This valve is placed on the gas line
to shut off gas to the applianceduring maintenance procedures.

Ceramic Glass
The glass in your heater is the mostdurable glass available. It has beentested to be extremely resistant tobreakage from temperature changes.
