Installation - Empire Comfort Systems DVL25FP32 Series Installation Instructions And Owner's Manual

To begin, remove the glass door by releasing the 2 spring latches
at the top, and 2 spring latches at the bottom of the door frame.
Check to make sure there is no hidden damage to the unit. Take
a moment to plan out the gas, venting and electrical route. It is
best to start with the gas line first, followed by the vent system and
electrical supply requirements.
Attention: If installing the optional FBB8 Blower Kit, it is recom-
mended that it be installed in the fireplace before completing in-
stallation of the fireplace.
This fireplace requires no hearth extension. Combustible material
on the floor may be installed up to the fireplace.
Install the fireplace without the Surround panels attached and
make all gas, venting and electrical connections.
To complete the installation, install the Surround panel assembly.
Refer to the instructions included with the surround panel kit to
install properly.
Framing and Finishing
1. Choose unit location.
2. Frame out opening for fireplace as shown in Figures 2
through 5 and install finished wall surface over framing prior
to setting fireplace into opening and securing unit.
3. The fireplace should be installed on a metal or wood panel
extending the full width and depth of the appliance. The verti-
cal dimensions in Figure 2 must be adjusted when a metal or
wood panel is placed beneath the appliance.

4. Install the side Framing brackets (1 per side) using the pi-
lot holes provided behind the side flanges on the fireplace
outer wrap. Two setback locations are provided for locating
the framing brackets depending on which decorative surround
is to be installed. See Figures 9a and 9b. The pilot holes in
the forward position should be used if installing the fireplace
after the finished wall surface is present. The rearward hole
position should be used to install the fireplace directly to the
framed opening, prior to installing the finish wall surface.
The framing bracket locations are based on using 1/2" thick sur-
face finishing materials over the framing. See Figure 9.
NOTE: If installing the framing brackets over the finished face wall
surface, be sure you leave access for installing the venting com-
ponents at the sides or rear of the framed out structure.
Note: Use Figure 9a to locate the nailing flanges if installing a
DS(25,33)66BL surround accessory. Use Figure 9b to locate
the nailing flanges if installing a DF(25,33)M4 series surround
accessory.
5. Secure unit to wall opening with common screw type fasten-
ers. See Figures 5 and 9.
6. Maintain combustible clearances as shown by Figures 2
through 5.
