THERMOSTAT CONTROL OPERATION
1. Thermostat control on this heater differs from standard thermostats. Standard thermostats
simply turn burner on and off. The thermostat used on this heater senses room temperature
and adjusts amount of gas flow to burner. This will increase or decrease flame height. At
times, room may exceed set temperature, which will cause burner to shut off. When room
temperature drops below thermostat setting, burner will cycle itself on again. The control
knob can be set to any level between “LO” and “HI”.
NOTE: Thermostat sensing bulb measures temperature of air near heater cabinet. This may
not always agree with room temperature (depending on housing construction, installation
location, room size, open air temperatures, etc.). Frequent use of your heater will allow you
to determine your personal comfort levels.

ADEQUATE AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
This section is for residential or manufactured (mobile) installation
“This heater shall not be installed in unusually tight construction unless provisions are adequate
for combustion and ventilation air.”
NOTE: This heater shall not be installed in a room or space unless the required volume of
indoor combustion air is provided by the method in National Fuel Gas Code,ANSIZ223.1/NFPA 54, the International Fuel Gas Code, or applicable codes.
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 defines unusually tight construction or
unconfined space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU per hour
(4.8m3per kw) ofaggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space and an
unconfined space as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU per
hour (4.8m3per kw) of aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space. Rooms
communicating directly with space in which appliances are installed, through openings not
furnished with doors, are considered a part of unconfined space.
“WARNING: IF AREA IN WHICH HEATER MAY BE OPERATED DOES NOT

Unusually tight construction is defined as construction where:
a) Walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapor
retarder with a rating of 1 perm (6 x 10
or sealed.
b) Weather stripping has been added on openable windows and doors.
c) Caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as joints around window and door frames,
between sole plates and floors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at
penetrations for plumbing, electrical and gas lines and at other openings.

FOR CUBIC FEET PER 1000 BTU/ HOUR INPUT. (EX. CINCINNATI,
OHIO CODES REQUIRE 70 CUBIC FEET). CHECK YOUR LOCAL CODE
BEFORE INSTALLATION.
DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR
DETERMINE IF YOU HAVE UNUSUALLY TIGHT CONSTRUCTION OR UNCONFINED SPACE
Use this worksheet to determine if you have unusually tight construction 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.
HEATER LOCATION

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.(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.
2. Divide the space volume by 50 cubic feet to determine the maximum BTU/Hr the space can
support.
(volume of space)/50 cu. ft. =maximum BTU/Hr the space can support
EXAMPLE: 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space /50 cu. Ft .= 51.2 or
51200 (maximum BTU/Hr the space can support)
3. Add the BTU/Hr of all fuel burning appliances in the space.

BTU/Hr (actual amount of BTU/Hr used)
Example: 51200 BTU/Hr (maximum the space can support)
58000 BTU/Hr (actual amount of BTU/Hr used)
Space in above example is unusually tight construction because actual BTU/Hr used is more than
maximum BTU/Hr the space can support. You must provide additional fresh air. Your options are as
follows:
A. Rework worksheet, adding space of an adjoining room. If extra space provides an unconfined
space, remove door to adjoining room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See “Air For
Combustion And Ventilation Inside Building”, page 33.
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See “
Air For Combustion And Ventilation Outdoors
”, page 34.
C. Install a lower BTU/Hr heater, if lower BTU/Hr size makes room unconfined.
If actual BTU/Hr used is less than the maximum BTU/Hr the space can support, space is an
unconfined space. You will need no additional fresh air ventilation.
WARNING: YOU MUST PROVIDE ADDITIONAL VENTILATION AIR IN
UNUSUALLY TIGHT CONSTRUCTION.
