The Empire Spirit 22" Natural Gas Stove offers the appearance of a traditional cast iron stove while utilizing a sealed direct vent heating system designed to draw combustion air from outside and vent exhaust gases outdoors. The Empire Spirit Gas Stove features an intermittent pilot ignition system that eliminates a continuously burning pilot, helping reduce gas consumption while allowing simple operation through the integrated on/off switch. Optional remote control compatibility provides additional operating flexibility.
Inside the stove, Empire's Slope Glaze Burner system works with ceramic beads to create naturally swirling flames, while the hand-painted ceramic fiber log set and expanded ember bed produce a realistic wood fire appearance. The sealed combustion chamber helps separate combustion air from room air, and heat is transferred through the glass front with circulating room air to provide efficient heating performance. With an input range of 13,500 to 19,500 BTU/hr, this Empire Spirit Natural Gas Stove may be used as a primary heat source where appropriate. The freestanding design and porcelain mahogany finish provide a classic appearance suitable for a variety of living spaces while maintaining the performance advantages of a direct vent gas stove.

Product FAQs
Q1. What type of venting does the Empire Spirit DVP20CC70MN use?
Answer:
This model uses a direct vent system that draws combustion air from outside the home and vents combustion by-products outdoors through a 4" x 6-5/8" vent system.
Q2. How does the intermittent pilot ignition system work?
Answer:
The intermittent pilot system does not use a continuously burning pilot flame. Pressing the on/off switch ignites the pilot, which then lights the main burner. The stove is also compatible with optional remote control systems.
Q3. What is included with the Empire Spirit Natural Gas Stove?
Answer:
The stove includes the small cast iron stove, a 4-piece hand-painted ceramic fiber log set, a fireplace barrier screen, and the Slope Glaze Burner system with an expanded ember bed. Certain installation components and accessories, including the required 45-degree elbow and RCK20 replacement control cover (for RVKN or RVKP), are sold separately.
