AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION WARNING: If the area in which the heater may be operated does not meet the required volume for indoor combustion air, combustion and ventilation air shall be provided by one of the methods described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the International Fuel Gas Code, or applicable local codes. PRODUCING ADEQUATE VENTILATION All spaces in homes fall into one of the three following ventilation classifications: 1. Unusually Tight Construction 2.

DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR HEATER LOCATION Determining if You Have a Confined or Unconfined Space Use this worksheet to determine if you have a confined or unconfined space. Space: Includes the room in which you will install heater plus any adjoining rooms with door-less passageways or ventilation grills between the rooms. 1. Determine the volume of the space Length × Width × Height = cu. ft. (volume of space) Example: Space size 20 ft. (length) × 16 ft.(width) × 8 ft. (ceiling height) = 2560 cu. ft.
PAGE 9
Ventilation Air From Inside Building Fig. 2 - Ventilation Air from Inside Building This fresh air would come from adjoining unconfined space. When ventilating to an adjoining unconfined space, you must provide two permanent openings: one within 12 inches of the wall connecting the two spaces (see options 1 and 2, Fig. 2). You can also remove door into adjoining room (see option 3, Fig. 2). Follow the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ ANS Z223.1.

INSTALLATION NOTICE: This heater is intended for 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. WARNING: A qualified technician must install heater. Follow all local codes.
PAGE 11
NOTE: When heater is installed directly on carpeting, tile or other combustible material, other than wood flooring, the heater must be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the heater. Fig. 5 - Clearance to Combustibles BUILT-IN FIREPLACE INSTALLATION Built-in installation of this fireplace involves installing fireplace into a framed-in enclosure. This makes the front of the fireplace flush with wall.
PAGE 12
Fig. 8 - Rough Opening for Installing in Corner IMPORTANT: When finishing your firebox, combustible materials such as wall board, gypsum board, sheet rock, drywall, plywood, etc, must have ½ -in. clearance to the sides and top of the firebox. Combustible materials should never overlap the firebox front. WARNING: Do not allow any combustible materials to overlap the firebox front. WARNING: Do not allow combustible or noncombustible materials to cover any necessary openings like louvered slots.
PAGE 13
CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY WARNING: A qualified technician must connect heater to gas supply. Follow all local codes. WARNING: This appliance requires a 3/8 in. NPT inlet connection to pressure regulator (see Fig. 10). CAUTION: Never connect heater directly to the gas supply. This heater requires an external regulator (not supplied). The external regulator between the gas supply and heater must be installed. Gas supplier provides external regulator for natural gas.
PAGE 14
CAUTION: Use only new black iron or steel pipe. Internally tinned copper tubing may be used in certain areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of ½ inch diameter or greater to allow proper volume gas to heater. If pipe is too small, loss of pressure will occur. Installation must include an equipment shutoff valve, union, and plugged 1/8-inch NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from heater (see Fig. 12).
PAGE 15
CAUTION: Two gas line installations at the same time are prohibited. The access plate to the simple switching means shall not be opened while the heater is in operation. This appliance can be used with propane or natural gas. It is shipped from the factory adjusted for use with propane. Only a qualified installer or service technician can perform gas selection and connecting to gas supply.

CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS WARNING: Test all gas piping and connections for leaks after installing or servicing. Correct all leaks immediately. WARNING: Never use an open flame to check for a leak. Apply a mixture of liquid soap and water to all joints. If bubbles form, there may be a leak. Correct all leaks immediately. Pressure Testing Gas Supply Piping System Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG ( 3.5kPa ) 1.

CAUTION: Do not try to adjust heating levels by using the equipment shutoff valve. A.
PAGE 19
THERMOSTATIC CONTROL OPERATION The thermostatic control used on this model differs from standard thermostats. Standard thermostats simply turn the burner on and off. The thermostat used on this heater senses the room temperature. At times the room may exceed the set temperature. If so, the burner will shut off. The burner will cycle back on when room temperature drops below the set temperature. The control knob can be set to any comfort level between HIGH (5) and LOW (1).
PAGE 20
INSPECTING BURNERS Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame patterns often. PILOT FLAME PATTERN 1. Turn control knob to pilot position 2. Inspect pilot flame and refer to Fig. 20 and 21. • Fig. 20 shows a correct pilot flame pattern. • Fig. 21 shows an incorrect pilot flame pattern. The incorrect pilot flame is not touching the thermocouple. This will cause the thermocouple to cool. When the thermocouple cools, the heater will shut down. • If the pilot flame is incorrect, as shown in Fig.
PAGE 21
CARE AND MAINTENANCE WARNING: Failure to keep primary air openings of burners clean may result in sooting and property damage. CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burner, and circulating air passageways of heater clean. Inspect these areas of heater before each use. Have heater inspected yearly by a qualified service person. Heater may need more frequent cleaning due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, pet hair, etc.
PAGE 22
TROUBLESHOOTING WARNING: If you smell gas: • Shut off gas supply. • Do not try to light any appliance. • Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building. • Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions. • If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department. IMPORTANT: Operating heater where impurities in air exist may create odors.
PAGE 23
