important SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING: Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or local gas supplier. 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. WARNING: When used without fresh air, heater may give off CARBON MONOXIDE, an odorless, poisonous gas.
WARNING: Carefully supervise young children when they are in the room with the heater. WARNING: Make sure grill guard is in place before running heater. WARNING: Keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids. 1. This appliance is for use with only the type of gas indicated on the rating plate. This appliance is not convertible for use with other gases. 2. Do not place Propane/LP supply tank(s) inside any structure.
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in a confined space or unusually tight construction unless provisions are provided for adequate combustion and ventilation air. Read the following instructions to insure proper fresh air for this and other fuel-burning appliances in your home. Providing Adequate Ventilation The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation.
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 doorless 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 20ft. (length)×16ft. (width)×8ft. (ceiling height) =2560cu. ft.
Ventilation Air From Outdoors Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation grills or ducts. You must provide two permanent openings: one within 12 inches of the ceiling and one within 12 inches of the floor. Connect these items directly to the outdoors or spaces open 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.
preparing for installation Before beginning assembly or operation of the product, make sure all parts are present. Compare parts with package contents list and diagram above. If any part is missing or damaged, do not attempt to assemble, install or operate the product. Contact customer service for replacement parts.
WARNING: Never install the heater • in a bedroom or bathroom • in a recreational vehicle • where curtains, furniture, clothing, or other flammable objects are less than 36 inches from the front, top, or sides of the heater • in high traffic areas • in windy or drafty areas WARNING: Maintain the minimum clearances shown in Figure 4. If you can, provide greater clearances from floor, ceiling, and joining wall. CAUTION: This heater creates warm air currents.
Methods For Attaching Mounting Bracket To Wall Use only the last hole on each end of mounting bracket to attach bracket to wall. Attach mounting bracket to a wall only in one of two ways: 1. Attaching to wall stud: This method provides the strongest hold. Insert mounting screws through mounting bracket and into wall studs. 2. Attaching to wall anchor: This method allows you to attach mounting bracket to hollow walls (wall areas between studs) or to solid walls (concrete or masonry). 3.
Placing Heater On Mounting Bracket 1. Locate two horizontal slots on back panel of heater (see Figure 10). 2. Place heater onto mounting bracket. Slide horizontal slots onto stand-out tabs on mounting bracket. Installing Bottom Mounting Bracket 1. Install bottom bracket to heater bottom with two screws. It may be more convenient to remove heater from wall bracket to attach. 2. Place heater on wall mounting bracket. 3. Mark screw locations on wall. 4. Remove heater from mounting bracket. 5.
Typical Inlet Pipe Diameters Use 3/8-inch black iron pipe or greater. 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 Figure 12). IMPORTANT: Install an equipment shutoff valve in an accessible location. The equipment shutoff valve is for turning on or shutting off the gas to the appliance. Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads.
CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS WARNING: Test all gas piping and connections for leaks after installing or servicing. Correct all leaks at once. WARNING: Never use an open flame to check for a leak. Apply a mixture of liquid soap and water to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once. Pressure Testing Gas Supply Piping System Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG(3.5kPa) 1.
operation 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. When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly. B. BEFORE LIGHTING, smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor. C. Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control knob. Never use tools.
8. To select the desired heating level, partially press down the control knob slightly and rotate conterclockwise . Release the downward pressure on the knob while continuing to turn until the knob locks at the desired heat setting position. Do not operate between locked positions. Caution: Do not try to adjust heating levels by using the equipment shutoff valve.
MANUAL LIGHTING PROCEDURE 1. Remove front panel. 2. Follow steps 1 through 5 under “Lighting Instructions” on page 14. 3. With control knob pressed in, strike match. Hold match to pilot until pilot lights. 4. Keep control knob pressed in for 30 seconds after lighting pilot. After 30 seconds, release knob. Follow step 8 under “Lighting Instructions” on page 14. 5. Replace front panel.
INSPECTING BURNER Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame pattern often. PILOT FLAME PATTERN Figure 20 shows a correct pilot flame pattern. Figure 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.
