Remote controls are optional for the millivolt model. A compatible fireplace\/firebox, correct natural gas supply, installer-provided gas connection and adequate combustion\/ventilation air are required. The burner must be anchored securely.

The burner may operate with or without the manufacturer-approved decorative accessories. For optional full media coverage, the manual recommends 2 kits of approved DG1BUC, DG1BKP or DG1CLF glass. These coverage quantities do not make decorative glass a mandatory burner component. Keep glass outside the burner opening, away from the flame, gas valve and air passages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation and venting\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstall only in a suitable solid-fuel masonry fireplace, compatible UL 127 factory-built fireplace or listed ventless enclosure permitted by the manual. Do not use a factory-built fireplace that prohibits unvented gas appliances. Vent-free use is supplemental room heating and requires sufficient room air. The manual also documents vented decorative operation with a functioning chimney and secured-open damper; thermostatic controls are for vent-free applications only. Canadian installations must use the manual-authorized vented configuration. Bedroom or bathroom eligibility depends on the manual and local restrictions; do not assume the reduced input permits installation in every jurisdiction. Mantel, hearth and combustible clearances depend on the complete installation. Installation and service must follow the manufacturer manual and applicable codes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and documentation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe manual provides a limited five-year parts-and-labor warranty for covered appliance components and a limited one-year parts warranty for remote controls, thermostats, accessories and replacement parts, subject to its exclusions and installation\/maintenance conditions. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.empireinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/42928-VFRL-182430-1-Loft-Burner.pdf\"\u003eRead the Empire Loft installation and owner manual\u003c\/a\u003e for the exact model, clearances, approved media placement, controls and warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAvailability\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupplier-order item, subject to supplier availability.
