Television Considerations
Installing a television above a fireplace has become increasingly
popular; however, the area above any fireplace gets hot and most
TV manufacturers recommend against placing their products
near a heat source.
If you install a television above this fireplace, Empire Comfort
Systems accepts no responsibility for damage or injuries. Follow
the television manufacturer's installation instructions, including
any recommendations regarding proximity to heat sources.
If you have a TV above your fireplace, turn off the fireplace and
let it cool completely before servicing or touching any buttons on
the TV.

Installation Considerations
• Gas supply piping – right or left side entrance
• Electrical supply and connections – for optional fan kit
• 120V, 60Hz, 1 Amp
• Right side entrance
• Allowable fireplace mounting surfaces:
• A flat, hard, combustible or non-combustible surface
• A raised platform of combustible or non-combustible
material.
• The four corners of the fireplace onto non-combustible
material so that contact is made on all four perimeter
edges on the bottom of the fireplace – such as on
cylinder blocks (where allowed by local codes).
• If the fireplace is installed directly on carpeting, tile or other
combustible material other than wood flooring, it should be
installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width
and depth of the fireplace.
• This fireplace is designed to be installed in a zero-clearance
enclosure. Combustible material can come in contact with
the top and side standoff spacers, and the fireplace can be
secured to combustible framing with the framing brackets
provided with the fireplace.
