Installation Instructions and Owner’s Manual
Unvented Liquid Propane Fired Room Heater
outdoors or spaces open to the outdoors. These
include attics* and crawl spaces. Follow the National
Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3,
Air for Combustion and Ventilation for required size of
ventilation grills or ducts.
*IMPORTANT: Do not provide openings for inlet or
outlet into attic. If attic has a thermostat-controlled
power vent, heated air entering the attic will activate
the power vent.
IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters add moisture to
the air. Although this is benecial, installing heater
in rooms without enough ventilation air may cause
mildew to form from too much moisture. See Fresh
Air for Combustion and Ventilation, pages 3
through 5.
INSTALLATION
NOTICE: This heater is intended for the use as
supplemental heat. Use this heater along with your
primary heating system. Do not install this heater as
your primary heat source. If you have a central heating
system, you may run system’s circulating blower while
using heater. This will help circulate the heat throughout
the house. In the event of a power outage, you can use
this heater as your primary heat source for the duration
of the outage.
3. Add the Btu/hr of all the fuel-burning appliances
in the space such as, Vent–free heater, Gas water
heater, Gas furnace, Vented gas heater, Gas
replace logs, and Other gas appliances*
*Do not include direct-vent gas appliances. Direct-
vent draws combustion air from the outdoors and
vents to the outdoors.
Example:
Gas water heater 40,000 Btu/hr
Vent Free Heater + 20,000 Btu/hr
Total =60,000 Btu/hr
4. Compare the maximum Btu/hr the space can support
with the actual amount of Btu/hr used.
Example: 51,800 Btu/hr (maximum Btu/hr the
space can support)
60,000 Btu/hr (Actual amount of Btu/hr used)
The space in the above example is a conned
space because the actual Btu/hr used is more than
the maximum Btu/hr the space can support.
You must provide additional fresh air. Your options
are as follows:
A. Rework worksheet, and the space of an adjoining
room. If the extra space provides an unconned
space, remove door to adjoining room or add
ventilation grills between the rooms. See Ventilation
Air From Inside Building (Fig. 2)
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventilation
Air From Outdoors (Fig. 3).
C. Install a lower Btu/hr heater if lower Btu/hr size
makes room unconned.
If actual Btu/hr used is less than the maximum
Btu/hr the space can support, the space is an
unconned space. You will need no additional fresh
air ventilation.
VENTILATION AIR
Ventilation from Inside Building
This fresh air would come from an adjoining unconned
space. When ventilation to an adjoining unconned
space, you must provide two permanent openings: one
within 12” of the ceiling and one within 12” of the oor
on the wall connecting the two spaces (see options
1 & 2 of gure 2). You can also remove door into
adjoining room (see option3, g 2). Follow the National
Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3,
Air for Combustion and Ventilation for required size of
ventilation grills or ducts.
WARNING: Rework worksheet, adding the space
of the adjoining unconned space. The combined
space must have enough fresh air to supply all
appliance in both spaces.
Ventilation from Outdoors
If necessary provide extra fresh air by using ventilation
grills or ducts. Connect these items directly to the
