Empire Tahoe Clean-Face Luxury 36" Gas Fireplace, IP

Empire Tahoe Clean-Face Luxury 36" Gas Fireplace, IP

The Empire Tahoe Clean-Face Luxury 36" puts a full log fire behind a large ceramic glass window, and its clean face lets tile or other non-combustible material hide the outer edge for a built-in look.

It is a zero-clearance direct vent gas fireplace with intermittent pilot control (model numbers DVCX36FP70N and DVCX36FP70P). The log set and barrier screen come with it.

The Empire Tahoe Clean-Face Luxury 36": The Top Trim in the Clean-Face Line

At up to 37,000 Btu/hr on natural gas and 34,000 Btu/hr on propane, the Luxury 36" has the most heat of any Tahoe Clean-Face 36", and the 32 7/8" x 24" ceramic glass frame opening shows off the logs. It vents 5" x 8" from the top.

On these intermittent pilot models, the ignition runs on an AC adapter with battery backup, and the fireplace works with the optional remotes, wall controls and the variable flame remote kit. The FBB10 variable-speed blower and LK6 lighting kit can be added.

Which Tahoe is right for me?

Contemporary (32", 36" and 42") burns over a rock set and crushed glass with a black porcelain liner included. Deluxe (32", 36" and 42") includes a six-piece ceramic fiber log set on a contour burner and vents from the top or the rear. Premium (32", 36" and 42") takes a hand-painted ceramic fiber log set, ordered separately, and offers aged brick, rustic brick or black porcelain liners. Luxury (36" and 42") has ceramic glass, an included log set, up to 40,000 Btu/hr and a multi-function model with the blower and light built in. There are also 36" see-through and peninsula models, and the traditional louvered Tahoe. Our Tahoe Deluxe vs. Premium vs. Luxury guide goes into more detail.
