INSTALLATION AFTER-MARKET MOBILE HOMES THIS APPLIANCE MAY BE INSTALLED IN AN AFTERMARKET*, PERMANENTLY LOCATED, MANUFACTURED (MOBILE) HOME, WHERE NOT PROHIBITED BY LOCAL CODES. *After Market: Completion of sale, not for the purpose of resale from the manufacturer. THIS APPLIANCE IS ONLY FOR USE WITH THE TYPE OF GAS INDICATED ON THE RATING PLATE. THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT CONVERTIBLE FOR USE WITH OTHER GASES. NOTE: For mobile home installation follow “Installation”, pages 6-19.
PRODUCING ADEQUATE VENTILATION This section is for residential or manufactured (mobile) installation “This heater shall not be installed in a confined space or unusually tight construction unless provisions are provided for adequate combustion and ventilation air.” The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 defines a confined space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU per hour (4.
DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR HEATER LOCATION DETERMINE IF YOU HAVE A CONFINED OR UNCONFINED SPACE Use this worksheet to determine if you have confined or unconfined space. SPACE: Includes the room in which you will install heater plus adjoining rooms with doorless passageways or ventilation grills between the rooms. 1. Determine the volume of the space (length x width x height). Length x Width x Height =_________cu.ft.(volume of space) EXAMPLE: 20 ft.(Length) x 16 ft.(Width) x 8 ft.
A. Rework worksheet, adding the space of an adjoining room. If the extra space provides an unconfined space, remove door to adjoining room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See “Ventilation Air From Inside Building”, page 21. B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See “Ventilation Air From Outdoors”, page 22. C. Install a lower BTU/Hr heater, if lower BTU/Hr size makes room unconfined. If the actual BTU/Hr used is less than the maximum BTU/Hr the space can support, the space is an unconfined space.
VENTILATION AIR FROM OUTDOORS Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation grills or ducts. You must provide two permanent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and one within 12" of the floor. Connect these items directly to the outdoors. These spaces 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.
GAS PRESSURE CHECK Check the inlet pressure to the burner to insure that it is as shown in the table below. NOTE: The pressure check point is located on the right side of the valve facing burner. The appliance and its appliance main gas valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5kPa).
LOG PLACEMENT Logs are shipped secured in unit. NOTE: When operated for the first time, logs may emit a “paper burning” smell. This smell will gradually diminish and will be totally eliminated after the first few hours of operation. Do not use the blower at this time. Front View of Logs WARNING “FAILURE TO POSITION THE PARTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE DIAGRAMS OR FAILURE TO USE ONLY PARTS SPECIFICALLY APPROVED WITH HEATER MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Before operating this appliance, proceed through the following checklist . 1. Read and understand these instructions before operating this appliance. 2. Check that there no leaks. If you smell gas do not attempt to light this appliance. LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS MODULATING VALVE(MAXITROL) FOR YOUR SAFETY, READ BEFORE LIGHTING WARNING IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY, A FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY RESULT CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE. A.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. STOP! Read the safety information on the previous page. Make sure manual shutoff valve is fully closed. Open access panel door, located in lower front center of base for access to control knobs. Turn off all electric power to the appliance. Set thermostat (flame control) to lowest setting. Push in and turn control knob clockwise to the “OFF” position. PILOT ON 4 IGNITE OFF MERTIK 6 5 MAXITROL 7 3 2 1 FLAME CONTROL CONTROL KNOB FIGURE 3 7.
IGNITER ELECTRODE THERMO-COUPLE O.D.S PILOT BURNER PILOT 13. Close the access panel door. 14. “Turn on all electric power to the appliance.” CAUTION DO NOT TRY TO ADJUST HEATING LEVELS BY USING THE MANUAL SHUTOFF VALVE. TO TURN OFF GAS TO APPLIANCE SHUTTING OFF UNIT: Open access panel door, located in lower front center of base for access to control knobs. Set thermostat (flame control) to lowest setting. Turn control knob clockwise to the full “OFF” position.
THERMOSTAT CONTROL OPERATION The thermostat control used on this heater differs from standard thermostats. Standard thermostats simply turn the burner on and off. The thermostat used on this heater senses the room temperature and adjusts the amount of gas flow to the burner. This will increase or decrease the flame height. At times, the room may exceed the set temperature, which will cause the burner to shut off.
FLAME CHECK A periodic check of the flames should be made. The pilot flame should always be present when the gas logs are in operation. FLAME: Propane (LP) should produce a flame that is 3"-4" above rear log. This flame should be yellow. Natural gas should produce a flame that is 3"-4" above rear log. This flame should be mostly blue except for the top 1/2" which should be yellow.
WARNING: CHILDREN AND ADULTS SHOULD BE ALERTED TO THE HAZARDS OF HIGH SURFACE TEMPERATURE AND SHOULD STAY AWAY TO AVOID BURNS OR CLOTHING IGNITION. YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE CAREFULLY SUPERVISED WHEN THEY ARE IN THE SAME ROOM WITH THE APPLIANCE. WARNING: DO NOT PLACE CLOTHING OR OTHER FLAMMABLE MATERIALS ON OR NEAR THE APPLIANCE.
WARNING: ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTION: THIS APPLIANCE IS EQUIPPED WITH A THREE-PRONG (GROUNDING) PLUG FOR YOUR PROTECTION AGAINST SHOCK HAZARD AND SHOULD BE PLUGGED DIRECTLY INTO A PROPERLY GROUNDED THREE-PRONG RECEPTACLE. NOTE: #PESBRO84 Blower Motor Rating: 120 volts/60HZ/0.54 Amps. 1 P.H NOTE: For convenience, allow licensed electrician to install properly grounded 3-plug receptacle near unit.
