Spirit Stoves are available in two types of ignition – Millivolt (MV) and Intermittent Pilot (IP). The Millivolt system lights a standing pilot with a pushbutton piezo ignitor. Once the standing pilot is lit, the MV system operates with an on/off switch concealed on the back of the stove or with one of the optional remote control systems. The standing pilot allows your Empire stove to provide heat during power outages.
IP systems eliminate the standing pilot for even greater energy savings. Pressing the on/off switch ignites the pilot, which then ignites the main burner. IP systems can also operate with an optional remote control system.
Empire DVP20/30MS direct-vent installation and owner’s manual, 42639-7-1024. The cover identifies the model revisions addressed; match the appliance rating plate before installation or service. Page 7 lists dimensions, accessories and conversion applications.
| Model | DVP20MS |
|---|---|
| Height × width × depth | 23-3/8 × 22-1/8 × 16-1/2 inches, standard stove without optional shelves |
| Gas inlet | 3/8 inch |
| Maximum input | 19,500 BTU/h |
| Venting classification | Direct vent; use the route, termination and fuel-specific installation charts in this manual |
The optional automatic blower for this model is CIB4. RVKN variable remote control applies only to intermittent-pilot natural-gas versions; RVKP applies only to intermittent-pilot propane versions. If either variable remote kit is chosen, the manufacturer also requires RCK20 valve-cover kit. A stove without that optional remote upgrade does not require the replacement cover solely for ordinary operation.
Select the exact factory fuel and ignition configuration. Fuel conversion is permitted only with the certified kit for the exact size, control system and conversion direction. The stove must draw combustion air from outside and discharge exhaust outside through the approved direct-vent system. Do not connect it to a flue serving a separate solid-fuel appliance. Keep the supplied protective barrier and glass installed during operation.
Arrange professional installation, commissioning and periodic service. Follow the manual’s full clearance, vent-run, termination, log-placement and gas-connection instructions and applicable codes. Verify the exact model revision before ordering replacement or optional components.
