Finalizing the Installation

Steps for Finalizing the Installation
1. Remove the glass (see page 32).
NOTE:
If using propane (LP) convert the appliance prior to installing the logs.
2. We recommend you purge the gas line at this time (with the glass removed). This allows gas tobe detected once it enters the firebox, ensuring gas does not build up.
3. Turn on the gas to the fireplace. Turn on gas to the heater. Leak test all gas joints prior tostarting the appliance. Start the pilot. Start the main burner. Leak test all gas joints again.
4. Check the pilot flame following the directions below.

Pilot Flame Inspection
The pilot flame should look like the illustration below. Adjust the pilot flame if necessary.
The pilot flame must contact the thermocouple andTo adjust the pilot flame, turn this screw. Clockwise

Finalizing the Installation
FINE TUNING THE EMBER-FYRE™ BURNER

Each installation is affected by altitude, vent configuration, and fuel quality. Because of this, therestrictor and air shutter may need to be fine tuned to each installation. Follow the hints below to finetune the burner for optimum performance and aesthetics.
Restrictor Hints:
Set the restrictor to the position suggested in the vent configuration table (see page 17). Turn the heateron and allow it to reach full temperature (15 min.). If the flames indicate there is excessive draft due toaltitude or climate, 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 burnerholes, this indicates not enough 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 severethat the pilot will drop out when it is restarted. If the pilot does drop out reduce the restriction until it will
operate continuously.
Air Shutter Hints:•

For more glow, open the air shutter, however, this will make the flames more blue.

•

For yellow flames, close the air shutter, however, this may create less glow.

If the vent configuration is installed incorrectly the vent may cause the flames inside the heater tolift or “ghost” – a dangerous situation. Inspect the flames after installation to insure proper
performance. If the vent 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.

Finalizing the Installation

8. Attach the face following the directions below (see the directions included with the face for fulldetails).

Face Installation and Removal
The face has hooks that hold it in place. Make sure the face locks in place when installing.

b
Lift and rotate the face forward
until the top brackets lock into theupper slots.

aTilt the face backand insert thebottom brackets
into the lower
slots until theylock in place.
PLATED SURFACES:
Make sure the plated surfaces are clean before starting
the fireplace. Any marks left on plated surfaces may
become etched in place. Clean plated surfaces withdenatured alcohol and a soft cloth.
The bottom of the face is 1-1/4” below thebase of the fireplace when installed.

ACID WASH WARNING: Before installing the faceplate, make sure any masonry that has beentreated with acid wash has been properly neutralized (this is used primarily with brick faces). Acid
wash (muriatic acid) is used to remove excess mortar. If not properly neutralized with an ammonia
solution, the gold face may develop a permanent tarnish when the acid evaporates over time.

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 is normal. 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
will turn a more realistic yellow and orange color.

•

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

Maintenance
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 asoft cloth (with the fireplace cool). Other cleaners may leave a film that may become etched into
the gold.

Yearly Service Procedure•

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.

1.

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.

2.

Shut off gas to the fireplace by turning the gas control knob to "OFF" (see step A under "Starting the Pilot"
on page 40). Let the fireplace cool for 15 minutes. Remove the faceplate (see page 38) and glass (seepage 32).

3.

Remove the log set (NOTE: the logs are very fragile - see page 34). 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.

4.

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.

5.

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 air-tight seal.
If it does not, re-align or replace the gasket to insure an air-tight seal. Replace the faceplate.

6.

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 andducts.

7.

Start the pilot and turn on the main burner. The flames should be orange/yellow and not touch the top of thefirebox. If the pilot or main burners do not burn correctly, contact your dealer for service. Monitor theblower operation.

8.

Remove any debris or vegetation near the vent termination. Contact your dealer if any sooting or
deterioration is found near the vent termination.

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

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 turn on. That is why when starting the pilot the gas control knob has to be pressed in longenough for the thermocouple 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 canbe operated when the power is out (although the blower will not run).

ON

OFF

What Prevents Gas BuildupThis appliance utilizes a high-technology gas valve in conjunction with a pilot flame to ensure nogas builds up inside the firebox.
The thermocouple (next to the pilot) senses when the pilot flame is lit. If the pilot flame goes out,
this thermocouple no longer generates electricity, causing the gas valve to automatically shut off
all gas to the 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.
