Empyre Elite dismantling/assembly Instructions

In the event where the Empyre Elite furnace needs to
be dismantled to reduce weight and size follow these
instructions.
To reduce the weight by 150 lbs (68 kg) remove the
brick. Observe brick placement before removing brick
and re-install the brick accordingly. Also refer to page
26 and 27. To further reduce weight, remove the loading
and ash door. Take note of any hinge spacer washers
and re-install accordingly.
To reduce size and weight the top, side panels and bottom
may be removed. note: the next steps involve electrical
components and should only be done by a qualified
electrician.
1. Disconnect wiring in the back of the furnace: remove
access cover; unplug wires from snap disc; remove
temperature probe (use Allen wrench or Philips screw
driver); undo connectors on the blower wires; slip cord
strain relief out of its mount.
2. Remove 4 bolts from the top panel. Lift front slightly
to remove the switch trigger bolt, and then fully remove
the top panel. (Note: if switch trigger pulls out of the
control box, follow these instructions to re-install the
switch trigger: remove the control front plate to view the
inside of the control box; guide the switch trigger into
the slot next to the limit switch.)
3. Remove the side panel: remove door lock bars and
front and back bolts; pull panel to the back until it can
pull away from the furnace.
4. Remove bottom: remove bolts and drop pan down.
5. To install components, reverse steps 1-4. Refer
to page 8 and the electrical diagram on page 23 for
assistance.

Chimney Installation

When installing a new chimney flue, be sure to observe
local building codes and the National Fire Protection
Association rule: the top of the chimney must extend at
least 3.0 feet (0.9 m) above the highest point where it
exits the roof and be at least 2.0 feet (0.6 m) taller than
any point of the roof within 10.0 feet (3.04 m).
For a new chimney, use an insulated stainless steel system
that conforms to type HT (High Temperature) requirements of
UL 103 and ULC-S629 and complies with the requirements of
Chapter 11 of NFPA 211, Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces,
Vents and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances.
The furnace comes with a 6" (15 cm) flue collar. The rec-
ommended chimney size is 6" (15 cm). A larger than 6"
chimney size may result in reduced performance.
Chimney connectors must be a minimum of 24 gauge
black or blued steel.
A chimney cap must be installed.
Lining masonry chimneys with a stainless steel liner is
recommended.
note: For good chimney draft, connecting stove pipe elbows
between furnace and chimney must not be 90°; 45° is
recommended. The shorter the stove pipe connection the
better. Make sure to follow local building codes.
note: Incorrect chimney installation will void the warranty.
This is a forced air furnace but it is important that the chim-
ney has good draft to further eliminate any smoke issues.
ImpOrtant: A spark arrester must be installed if the fur-
nace is used in a high fire risk area.
