pLEASE NOTE
It is normal for fireplaces fabricated of steel to give off some
expansion and/or contraction noise during the start up or cool
down cycle. Similar noises are found with your furnace heat
exchanger or car engine.
It is not unusual for your gas fireplace to give off some odor the
first time it is burned. This is due to the curing of the paint and
burning off of any undetected oil from the manufacturing process.
ensure that your room is well ventilated - open all windows.
Empire recommends that you burn the fireplace for at least
six hours the first time you use it. If an optional fan kit has
been installed, set the fan control in the “ Off ” position
during this initial burning.

Clean the Logs
WARNINg
Do not handle the logs with your bare hands! Always wear
gloves to prevent skin irritation from ceramic fibers. After
handling logs, wash your hands gently with soap and water to
remove any trace of fibers. If you do get a “ fiber splinter ” from
the logs or glowing embers, rub the sticky side of tape over
where you suspect the splinter is until you no longer feel the
irritation.
The logs included with the fireplace can be cleaned with a soft
brush (i.e. a soft paint brush) or carefully with “ canned air ” . When
cleaning the logs, wear eye and respiratory protection as well as
safety gloves.
Install the Logs
The position of the logs is critical to the safe and clean operation
of this fireplace. Sooting and other problems may result if the
logs are not properly and firmly positioned in the fireplace. Refer
to the log placement section in this manual for proper log set
installation.
Clean the pilot
Use compressed air to clean the pilot.
Clean the flame Sensor
Wipe the flame sensor with a damp paper towel.
glass Cleaning
During start-up condensation may form on the inside of the glass
and cause lint, dust and other airborne particles to cling to the
glass surface. The initial paint curing process may deposit a slight
film on the glass. It is recommended that the glass be cleaned
two or three times with a cleaner specifically made for fireplace
glass. After the initial cleaning, the glass should be cleaned two
or three times during each heating season depending on the
circumstances present.
