General Installation Information The following formula can be used to determine the maximum heater rating per the definition of confined space: Counter BTU/HR= (L1 + L2) FT X (W)FT X (H)FT X 1000 Fireplace 50 Example: Refer to Figure 1. Two (2) connecting rooms with and open area between , with the following dimensions. L1 = 15 1/2 L2 = 12 ’ H L2 W = 12 ’ L1 W Figure 1. Example of large room with 1/2 wall divider. H=8’ (15 1/2 + 12 ) x (12) x (8) x 1000 = 52800 btu.

TROUBLESHOOTING OBSERVED PROBLEM ODS/pilot lights, but flame goes out when control knob is released. HMVF-R Cont’ POSSIBLE CAUSE 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Control knob not fully pushed in. Control knob not pressed in long enough. Manual shut off valve not fully open. Thermocouple connection loose at the control valve. Pilot flame not touching thermocouple, which allow the thermocouple to cool, causing pilot flame to go out.
PAGE 19
TROUBLESHOOTING OBSERVED PROBLEM Either the remote or switch are pressed to start the burner ignition sequence and there is no function or response. HMVF-R IPI ECO POSSIBLE CAUSE 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Missing or weak batteries at power supply box or remote. Box is unplugged. The switch cable is not plugged into the module. Control valve wiring harness not plugged in or not in proper position. Remote not communicating with the control module. Igniter cable is not connected.
PAGE 20
TROUBLESHOOTING OBSERVED PROBLEM When igniter button is pressed on the remote or switch pad, the pilot sparks but there is no ignition. HMVF-R IPI ECO POSSIBLE CAUSE 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Gas supply turned off or equipment shutoff valve is closed. Air in gas lines. Thermocouple circuit between the control valve and the control module is open. No gas to the ODS pilot. Depleted LP gas supply. Valve cable is disconnected or broken. ODS pilot is clogged. Gas appliance regulator is not correct. REMEDY 1.

MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM Under normal use this appliance will require only limited cleaning. Constant airflow through this appliance will cause dust to collect on the burners, base and logs. An excessive build up of dust can cause the pilot and burners to operate incorrectly and produce high levels of carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas. To clean the burner and base, turn the control to OFF and allow the system to cool down. Remove top logs and front log very carefully.
PAGE 22
CLEANING AND SERVICING WARNING Annual inspection and cleaning by your dealer or qualified technician is recommended to prevent malfunction and/or sooting. If the gas quality is bad, your pilot light may not stay lit, the burners may produce soot and the heater may backfire when lit. If the gas quality or pressure is low, contact you local gas supplier immediately. Periodic Cleaning– Refer to Parts Diagram for location of items discussed below.
PAGE 23
GUIDELINES FOR APPLICATION/MAINTENANCE OF ODS PILOTS Technical Application: 1. For accurate and consistent ODS intervention (cutoff) performance, the applied ODS must always be connected to a control valve having a preferred dropout rating of 80mA and not less than 65mA. 2. Proper connection of thermocouple to gas safety valve is made by tightening the connection nut by hand and then turning it 1/4 turn using the proper sized wrench. Do not over tighten as damage to safety valve may result. 3.
