Low Battery Power Detection Transmitter The life span of the remote control batteries depends on various factors: quality of the batteries used, the number of ignitions of the appliance, the number of changes to the room thermostat set point, etc. When the Transmitter batteries are low, a Battery Icon will appear on the LCD display of the Transmitter (Figure 16) before all battery power is lost. When the batteries are replaced this Icon will disappear. Receiver The life span of the IFC batteries depends on various factors: quality of the batteries used, the number of ignitions of the appliance and the number of changes to the room thermostat set point, etc. When the IFC batteries are low, a double-beep will be emitted from the IFC board when it receives a command from the transmitter. This is an alert for a low battery condition for the IFC board. When the batteries are replaced the beep will be emitted from the IFC board when a key is pressed. See Initializing the System for the first time on page 9. Figure 15: Lock icon. Figure 16: Low battery icon. Note regarding Power Failure This fireplace has a battery backup in case of a power outage. In the event of a power outage, the Esprit will continue to operate for as long as the batteries last, usually up to a couple of weeks. The batteries will not operate the blower fan or the lights while the power outage lasts. A tip for helping the batteries to last longer is to not continually adjust the hight of the flame as the valve motor will be activated each time a new flame level is selected and thus draw power from the batteries.

Locating the Fireplace In planning the installation for the fireplace, it is necessary to determine where the unit is to be installed, location of vent system and where gas supply piping may be plumbed. Various installations are possible, such as, into an existing wall, a corner, a built in wall or a wall projection. Due to high temperatures, do not locate this fireplace in areas of high traffic or near furniture or draperies. For places where a second side wall is specified, fireplace should be accessible for service Figure 19: Common installation options. ESPRIT 250418-56 17 100000393-50
Important Note: Non combustible Facing Material Installation Prior to installation of non-combustible materials by others, check and inspect carefully for any hairline cracks and / or damage to board. The non-combustible board must be a minimum of 12 mm thick and comply with AS1530-1 and AS1530-3. Material which is thinner may crack as a result due to the high temperatures this appliance emits. 1. Use screws for use with non-combustible boards: Secure non-combustible material around unit and framing. Important Note: To avoid cracking the board, pre-drill holes prior to securing to unit or framing. 2. Wipe any debris/dust from the non-combustible material and dry wall. 3. Prior to securing, it is mandatory to prime the facing and edges using a quality primer. This will ensure proper adhesion of the tape, filler and paint. Failure to follow this procedure will result in cracked seams. 4. Tape the seams using a mesh type tape. 5. Fill seams as normal. Avoid using filler which shrinks excessively. Filler must be cured as per manufacturers recommendations. 6. Prime wall for a second time for proper adhesion of paint. 7. Paint walls using a high quality paint which will withstand the high temperatures of 200 C being emitted from this appliance. Note: When applying 12mm minimum non-combustible board to framework, it is advisable to use the same 12mm minimum non-combustible board on the whole front face of the wall. When using a standard fascia, cut out the clean edge trim opening plus a further 10mm border. When using a 15mm finishing trim, cut out the clean edge trim opening plus a further 4mm border. When using painted 12mm minimum non-combustible board as finished wall surface, use 15mm finishing trim. When using clean edge trim, do not seal fireplace to finished wall material. The above will allow for possible expansion and contraction. 100000393-50 18 250418-56 ESPRIT

Intake Air Damper Installation The Esprit fireplaces come with the damper that can limit the flow of intake air. This damper is located behind the air baffle at the top of the firebox. Sometimes on installations that involve vertical venting configurations over 701 cm in height, the intake air tends to accelerate down the vent causing hectic flame action. This damper has to be closed to reduce the speed of the intake air and thus calm the flames for a more natural look. See (page 25) to check if damper required for installation.

Propane Conversion Before starting the conversion make sure to shut off the gas supply to the unit and allow fireplace to cool to room temperature. To convert the gas fireplace from natural gas to propane, a kit is required. This kit comes with new pilot and burner orifices as well as a new pressure modulator for the valve. Pilot assembly Venturi air shutter Orifice To switch the pressure modulator, follow the instructions that are provided with the conversion kit. To change the orifices you are required to remove the door, media set, and burner. Please refer to the appropriate sections of this manual and follow instructions on how to correctly remove the components. Figure 86: Pilot, orifice and air shutter. After removing the burner you will have access to the burner orifice which is located on the bottom of the burner tray (Figure 86). The orifice can be removed using a ½ inch socket. Before installing the new orifice, thread sealant needs to be applied to the threads of the new orifice to ensure a proper seal when installed. To replace the pilot orifice you will need to remove the pilot hood which is held in place by a spring. First remove the spring, and then remove the hood by pulling it up from the pilot bracket (Figure 87). To remove the existing orifice insert a 4mm Allen wrench into the hexagonal key-way of the orifice and rotate counterclockwise until free. Insert the new orifice using the same Allen wrench and tighten it until a torque of 12.20 Nm (9 lbf) is achieved. Replace the pilot hood by aligning the tab on the base of the hood with the slot in the side of the pilot journal, and push the hood down onto the pilot bracket. Replace the spring by pushing it onto its seat. Before returning the burner into position, the venturi shutter will have to be adjusted to the correct opening. The correct venturi settings are shown in Figure 88. Loosen the screw and slide the shutter. Tighten the screw, and return the burner into position. Further adjustment may be necessary.

Maintenance Turn off gas and electrical power supply (if applicable) and allow ample time for unit to cool before servicing appliance. It is recommended that the fireplace and its venting should be inspected at least once a year by a qualified service person. Glass Door: Warning: Do not operate fireplace with glass door removed, cracked or broken. Replacement of the glass door should be done by a licensed or qualified service person. Check glass panel gasket, replace if necessary. It is important that the glass seal be maintained in good condition. Do not strike or otherwise impact the glass in any way that may cause it to break. If the glass becomes cracked or broken it must be replaced before using the fireplace. Replacement door can be obtained from your nearest Pacific Energy dealer. Do not substitute with any other type. To remove broken glass, remove Door as noted in Door Removal section. Annual Inspection: a) Remove glass door and decorative media (such as logs and rocks). Inspect decorative media and burner assemblies for soot buildup. If excessive buildup of soot is present, have a qualified service person inspect and adjust unit for proper combustion. Clean burners with a brush or vacuum cleaner, paying close attention to burner ports. b) Check the pilot system for proper flame size and operation. Clean pilot free (Figure 89) of soot, dust or any other deposits. c) Check that the vent pipe and vent terminal are open and free from blockage or debris. If the venting is disassembled for cleaning, it must be properly assembled and re-sealed. Ignitor d) Check and replace batteries as needed. Note: The appliance area must be kept clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids. Periodically: Hood a) Viewing glass may be cleaned as necessary with fireplace glass cleaner. b) Exterior finish may be cleaned with mild soap and water. Figure 89: Esprit pilot assembly.
