Leg extensions, leg braces with bolt packages are 

optional.
2. Move the furnace by using the lifting hook or lifting 

from the bottom. CAUTION: Furnace is heavy. To make 

handling easier the brick may be removed.

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.
