PRODUCT FEATURES

OPERATION

This heater is clean burning. It requires no outside venting. There is no heat loss out a vent or up a chimney. Heat is generated from the ﬂ ames. This heater is designed for vent-free operation with ﬂ ue damper closed. It has been tested and approved to ANSI Z21.1 1.2 standard for unvented heaters. State and local codes in some areas prohibit the use of vent-free heaters. This heater may also be operated as a vented decorative (ANSI Z21.60) product by opening the ﬂ ue damper.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

WARNING: This heater shall not

be installed in a room or space unless the required volume of indoor combustion air is provided by the method described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the International Fuel Gas Code, or applicable local codes. Read the following instructions to ensure proper fresh air for this and other fuelburning appliances in your home.

T oday’s homes are built more energy efﬁ cient than ever. New materials, increased insulation and new construction methods help reduce heat loss in homes. Homeowners apply weather strip and caulk around windows and doors to keep the cold air out and the warm air in. During heating months, homeowners want their homes as airtight as possible.

While it is good to make your home energy efﬁ cient, your home needs to breathe. Fresh air must enter your home. All fuel-burning appliances need fresh air for proper combustion and ventilation.

Exhaust fans, some ﬁ replaces, clothes dryers and some fuel-burning appliances draw air from the house to operate. You must provide adequate fresh air for these appliances. This will ensure proper venting of vented fuelburning appliances.

PROVIDING ADEQUA TE VENTILATION

The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for Combustion and Ventilation.

All spaces in homes fall into one of the three following ventilation classiﬁ cations:

Astria.us.com

SAFETY DEVICE

This heater has a pilot with an Oxygen Depletion Sensing (ODS) safety shutoff system. The ODS/pilot is a required feature for vent-free room heaters. The ODS/pilot shuts off the heater if there is not enough fresh air.

ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM

This heater has an electronic igniter to light heater fuel supply.

1. Unusually Tight Construction

2. Unconﬁ ned Space

3. Conﬁ ned Space The information on Pages 6-8 will help you

classify your space and provide adequate ventilation.

Unusually Tight Construction

The air that leaks around doors and windows may provide enough fresh air for combustion and ventilation. However, in buildings of unusually tight construction, you must provide additional fresh air.

Unusually tight construction is deﬁ ned as construction where:

a. walls and ceilings exposed to the out-

side atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of one perm (6 x 10 less with openings gasketed or sealed and

b. weather stripping has been added on

openable windows and doors and

c. caulking or sealants are applied to

areas such as joints around window and door frames, between sole plates and ﬂ oors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical and gas lines and at other openings.

If your home meets all three criteria above, you must provide additional fresh air. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors, Page 8.

If your home does not meet all three criteria above, proceed to Determining Fresh- Air Flow For Heater Location, Page 7.

Conﬁ ned and Unconﬁ ned Space

The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA54 allows two methods for determining

whether the space in which the heater is being

-11

kg per pa-sec-m2) or

126851-01B6

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

Continued

installed is conﬁ ned or unconﬁ ned space. The standard method deﬁ nes a conﬁ ned space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu/hr (4.8 m gregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space and an unconﬁ ned space as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu/hr (4.8 m the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space. Rooms communicating directly with the space in which the appliances are installed*, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered a part of the unconﬁ ned space.

Where the air inﬁ ltration rate of a structure is known, the Known Air Inﬁ ltration Rate Method may be used. Follow The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 to use this method to determine if the space is conﬁ ned or unconﬁ ned.

* Adjoining rooms are communicating only if there are doorless passageways or ventilation grills between them.

DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR HEATER LOCATION

Determining if You Have a Conﬁ ned or Unconﬁ ned Space Using the Standard Method

Use this work sheet to determine if you have a conﬁ ned or unconﬁ ned space.

Space: Includes the room in which you will install ﬁ replace plus any 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: Space size 20 ft. (length) x 16 ft.

(width) x 8 ft. (ceiling height) = 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space)

If additional ventilation to adjoining room

is supplied with grills or openings, add the volume of these rooms to the total volume of the space.

per kw) of the ag-

per kw) of

2. Multiply the space volume by 20 to determine the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support.

________ (volume of space) x 20 = (Maxi-

mum Btu/Hr the space can support)

Example: 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space) x 20

= 51,200 (maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)

3. Add the Btu/Hr of all fuel burning appliances in the space.

Vent-free ﬁ replace __________Btu/Hr Gas water heater* __________Btu/Hr Gas furnace __________Btu/Hr Vented gas heater __________Btu/Hr Gas ﬁ replace logs __________Btu/Hr Other gas appliances* + _________Btu/Hr Total = _________Btu/Hr * Do not include direct-vent gas appliances.

Direct-vent draws combustion air from the outdoors and vents to the outdoors.

Example: Gas water heater __________Btu/Hr Vent-free ﬁ replace + _________Btu/Hr Total = _________Btu/Hr

Compare the maximum Btu/Hr the space can

4. support with the actual amount of Btu/Hr used.

_______ Btu/Hr (maximum can support) _______ Btu/Hr (actual amount used) Example: 51,200 Btu/Hr (maximum the

space can support)

73,000 Btu/Hr (actual amount of

Btu/Hr used)

The space in the above example is a conﬁ 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, adding the space of an

adjoining room. If the extra space provides an unconﬁ ned space, remove door to adjoin- ing room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See Ventilation Air From Inside

Building, Page 8.

B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See

Ventilation Air From Outdoors, Page 8.

C. Install a lower Btu/Hr ﬁ replace, if lower Btu/

Hr size makes room unconﬁ ned.

If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support, the space is an unconﬁ ned space. Y ou will need no additional fresh air ventilation.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Turn off heater

and let cool before cleaning.

CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burners and circulating air passageways of heater clean. Inspect these areas of heater before each use. Have heater inspected yearly by a qualiﬁ ed service person. Heater may need more frequent cleaning due to excessive lint from carpeting, pet hair , bedding material, etc.

WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air opening(s) of the burner(s) clean may result in sooting and property damage.

We also recommend that you keep the burner tube and pilot assembly clean and free of dust and dirt. To clean these parts we recommend using compressed air no greater than 30 PSI. Your local computer store, hardware store or home center may carry compressed air in a can. If using compressed air in a can, please follow the directions on the can. If you don’t follow directions on the can, you could damage the pilot assembly.

1. Shut off unit, including pilot. Allow unit to cool for at least thirty minutes.

2. Inspect burner, pilot and primary air inlet holes on oriﬁ ce holder for dust and dirt

(see Figure 24).

3. Blow air through the ports/slots and holes in the burner.

4. Check oriﬁ ce holder located at the end of the burner tube again. Remove any large particles of dust, dirt, lint or pet hair with a soft cloth or vacuum cleaner nozzle.

BURNER ORIFICE HOLDER AND PILOT AIR INLET HOLE

The primary air inlet holes allow the proper amount of air to mix with the gas. This provides a clean burning ﬂ ame. Keep these holes clear of dust, dirt, lint and pet hair. Clean these air inlet holes prior to each heating season. Blocked air holes will create soot. We recommend that you clean the unit every three months during operation and have heater inspected yearly by a qualiﬁ ed service person.

5. Blow air into the primary air holes on the oriﬁ ce holder.

6. In case any large clumps of dust have now been pushed into the burner repeat steps 3 and 4, beginning on Page 21.

Clean pilot assembly also. A yellow tip on the pilot ﬂ ame indicates dust and dirt in the pilot assembly. There is a small pilot air inlet hole about 2" from where the pilot ﬂ ame comes out of the pilot assembly (see Figure 25). With the unit off, lightly blow air through the air inlet hole. You may blow through a drinking straw if compressed air is not available.

GLASS PEBBLES

• If you remove glass pebbles for cleaning,

refer to Installing Glass Pebbles, Page 17,

to properly replace glass pebbles.

• Replace glass pebbles if broken.

MAIN BURNER

Periodically inspect all burner ﬂ ame holes with the heater running. All burner ﬂ ame holes should be open. Some burner ﬂ ame holes may become blocked by debris or rust, with no ﬂ ame present. If so, turn off heater and let cool. Remove blockage, blocked burner ﬂ ame holes will create soot.

THE WARRANTY

Innovative Hearth Products Limited Three Year Warranty ("IHP") warrants your Astria® brand Gas Log Set or Outdoor Gas Fire Pit ("Product") to be free from defects in materials and workmanship at the time of manufacture.

If repair or replacement is not commercially practical, IHP will, at its option, refund the purchase price or wholesale price of the IHP product, whichever is applicable. IHP will also pay IHP prevailing labor rates, as determined in its sole discretion, incurred in repairing or replacing such components. THERE ARE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS to this Limited Three Year Warranty as described herein.

COVERAGE COMMENCEMENT DATE

Warranty coverage begins on the date of purchase. In the case of new home construction, warranty coverage begins on the date of ﬁ rst occupancy of the dwelling or six months after the sale of the Product by an independent IHP dealer, whichever occurs earlier. The warranty shall commence no later than 24 months following the date of product shipment from IHP, regardless of the installation or occupancy date.

IHP will not be responsible for: (a) damages caused by normal wear and tear, accident, riot, ﬁ re, ﬂ ood or acts of God; (b) damages caused by abuse, negligence, misuse, or unauthorized alteration or repair of the Product affecting its stability or performance (The Product must be subjected to normal use. The Product is designed to burn either natural or propane gas only.
