AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION WARNING: This heater should 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.
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 20 ft. (length) × 16 ft. (width) × 8 ft. (ceiling height) =2560 cu. ft.
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, Figure 2). You can also remove door into adjoining room ( see option 3, Figure 2). Follow the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1. Air for Combustion and Ventilation for required size of ventilation grills or ducts.
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.
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 Figure 5). 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. INSTALLATION ITEMS NEEDED Before installing heater, make sure you have the items listed below.
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 Figure 7).
For changing from natural gas supply to propane supply 1. Remove bottom screw from cover plate, see figure 8, and rotate to expose gas selection valve. 2. For PROPANE GAS, press in knob using a flat screwdriver with a blade the width of a quarter and turn knob counterclockwise until the knob locks into the LP position (see Figure 10). Selection valve must be locked into either the LP position or the NG position. 3. Rotate and close cover over gas selection valve and reinstall screw. 4.
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. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks immediately. CAUTION: Make sure external regulator has been installed between gas supply and heater. See guidelines under “Connecting to Gas Supply” (page 11).
INSTALLATION Continued INSTALLING LOGS WARNING: Failure to position the parts in accordance with these diagrams or failure to use only parts included may result in property damage or personal injury. CAUTION: After installation, and periodically thereafter, check to ensure that no flame comes in contact with any log. With the heater set to high, check to see if flames contact any log.
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. NOTICE: During initial operation of new heater, burning logs will give off a paper burning smell. Orange flame will also be present. Open a window to vent smell. This will last only few hours. CAUTION: Do not try to adjust heating levels by using the equipment shutoff valve. A.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS Unscrew ignitor cap and install a AAA battery with the + pointing out. Replace cap. 1. STOP! Read the safety information on page 16. 2. Warning: You must operate this heater with the screen in place. Make sure screen is installed before running heater. 3. Turn control knob clockwise to the OFF position, see Figure 14. 4. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. Then smell for gas around heater and near floor.
TO TURN OFF GAS TO APPLIANCE Shut off heater Turn Control Knob clockwise to the OFF position. Do not force. MANUAL LIGHTING PROCEDURE (Match light) 1. Remove screen by lifting and pulling forward. 2.

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 Figure 15 and 16. · Figure 15 shows a correct pilot flame pattern. · Figure 16 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 Figure 16.
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.
