Instructions to Installer
1. Leave instruction manual with owner.
2. Show homeowner the Product Registration Card supplied with
fireplace.
3. Fill in the Homeowner Reference Information above.
4. Show owner how to start and operate outdoor fireplace.
Consult your local Building Department regarding regulations,
codes or ordinances which apply to the installation of an outdoor
fireplace.
Any change to this fireplace or its controls can be dangerous.
Improper installation or use of the appliance can cause serious
injury or death from fire, burns, explosion or carbon monoxide
poisoning.
Cleaning Instructions at Installation
This appliance is built using mostly high-grade stainless steel to
resist rust-through. In outdoor applications, all stainless steel will
develop a dull patina and, depending on the local environment
and on the materials used in the installation, may develop some
surface oxidation (rust). This does not affect the performance of
the fireplace, and does not require any action to correct. If you
prefer keeping your fireplace front looking factory-fresh, clean it
as required with stainless steel cleaner.
When installation application includes highly acidic materials
such as acid wash or stone etching, do not remove the protective
PVC film from the stainless steel until after this application is
complete. Once the film has been removed, clean appliance
immediately with a stainless steel cleaner.
Please note that areas where the film has been formed (corners,
hems, etc.) may require extra cleaning to remove film residue.
Ensure that all protective film has been removed from the
fireplace prior to burning.

Important
• Before contacting your dealer or Empire regarding this
fireplace, please complete the Homeowner Reference
Information above.
• Do not burn solid fuels in this appliance.
• The maximum gas inlet supply pressure is 13 inches for LP
and 10.5 inches for NAT.
• If a fireplace is equipped with a gas pressure regulator
connect to a fixed fuel piping system:
• The required manifold pressure in inches water column
(w.c.) is 10 inches for LP and 3.5 inches for NAT when
on "HI".
• Disconnect the fireplace and its shutoff valve from the
gas supply piping system during any pressure testing in
excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
• Close the shutoff valve to isolate the fireplace from the
gas supply during any pressure test equal to or less
than 1/2 psi (3.4 kPa).
Moisture Control
• This outdoor fireplace will shed moderate amounts of water,
but is not waterproof. Water and condensing water vapor
may enter the chase under certain conditions.
• The fireplace will not perform as an exterior wall. Moisture
penetration must be considered for construction that places
the fireplace in structure walls or on moisture sensitive
surfaces.
• When installed on exterior walls: Construct the fireplace
chase outside the structure's weather envelope. Where the
platform meets the wall, use a flashing detail similar to that
required for attached decks. Chase platforms, including
hearths should slope away from the structure at 1/4 inch per
foot. The fireplace can be shimmed level.
• When installed on surfaces where water may collect or
cause damage: It is recommended a slope of 1/4 inch per
foot towards the drain port. The fireplace can be shimmed
level.
• Hearths should slope away from the front of the fireplace
and chase at 1/4 inch per foot.
• We recommend a weather door or bifold door accessory to
protect the fireplace from moisture. Never install the fireplace
where moisture cannot drain off easily.
