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 by realistic, dancing yellow ﬂames. This heater is designed for vent-free operation. State and local codes in some areas prohibit the use of vent-free heaters.

SAFETY PILOT

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.

PIEZO IGNITION SYSTEM

This heater has a piezo ignitor. This system requires no matches, batteries or other sources to light heater.

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 combus

tion and ventilation air. Read the following instructions to insure proper fresh air for this and other fuel-burning appliances in your home.

Todayʼs homes are built more energy efﬁcient than ever. New materials, increased insulation and new construction methods help reduce heat loss in homes. Home owners weather strip and caulk around windows and doors to keep the cold air out and the warm air in. During heating months, home owners 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, ﬁreplaces, clothes dryers and fuel burning appliances draw air from the house to operate. You must provide adequate fresh air for these appliances. This will insure proper venting of vented fuel-burning appliances.

PROVIDING ADEQUATE VENTILATION

The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation.

All spaces in homes fall into one of the three fol

lowing ventilation classiﬁcations:

1. Unusually Tight Construction

2. Unconﬁned Space

3. Conﬁned Space

The information on pages 5 through 7 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 deﬁned 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 10-11 kg per pa-sec-m2) or 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 ﬂoors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations for plumb

ing, electrical and gas lines and at other openings.

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

page 7. If your home does not meet all of the

three criteria above, proceed to

115580-01A

Conﬁned and Unconﬁned Space

The National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 deﬁnes a conﬁned space as a space whose

volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m

per kw) of the aggregate 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 (4.8 m

per kw) of the aggregate input rating of

all appliances installed in that space. Rooms com

municating directly with the space in which the appliances are installed*, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered a part of the unconﬁned space.

* 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 Conﬁned or Unconﬁned Space

Use this work sheet 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 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 sup

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

2. Multiply the space volume by 20 to determine

the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support.

(volume of space) x 20 = (maximum Btu/Hr

the space can support)

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

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

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

Example:

Total = ________

Btu/Hr

4. Compare the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support with the actual amount of Btu/Hr used.

_____________Btu/Hr (maximum the space

can support)

___________ Btu/Hr (actual amount of

Btu/Hr used) Example: 51,200 Btu/Hr (maximum the

space can support)

70,000 Btu/Hr (actual amount

of Btu/Hr used)

The space in the above example is a conﬁned space because the actual Btu/Hr used is more than the maxi

mum 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 unconfined space, remove door to adjoining room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See Ventilation Air From Inside Building, page 7.

B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ven

tilation Air From Outdoors,

page 7.

C. Install a lower Btu/Hr heater, if lower Btu/Hr

size makes room unconﬁned.

If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support,

the

space is an unconﬁned space. You will need no additional fresh air ventilation.

WARNING: This appliance requires a 1/2" NPT (National Pipe Thread) inlet connection to the pressure regulator.

WARNING: A qualiﬁed service person must connect heater to gas supply. Follow all local codes.

CAUTION: Never connect propane/LP heater directly to the propane/LP supply. Pro

pane/LP heaters require an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator between the heater and pro

pane/LP supply.

WARNING: For natural gas units, never connect heater to private (non-utility) gas wells. This gas is commonly known as wellhead gas.

Installation Items Needed

Before installing heater, make sure you have the items listed below.

• exte rnal regu lator for propa ne/LP units (supplied by installer)

• piping (check local codes)

• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)

• equipment shutoff valve *

• test gauge connection *

• sediment trap

• tee joint

• pipe wrench

* A CSA design-certiﬁed equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the optional CSA design-certiﬁed equipment shutoff valve from your dealer. See

Install in piping system between fuel supply and heater. Locate sediment trap where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into heater controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is installed wrong, heater may not run properly.

CAUTION: Avoid damage to regulator. Hold gas regulator with wrench when connecting it to gas piping and/or ﬁttings.

CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS

WARNING: Test all gas piping and connections, internal and external to unit, for leaks after installing or servicing. Correct all leaks at once.

WARNING: Never use an open ﬂame to check for a leak. Apply a noncorrosive leak detection ﬂuid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.

OPERATING HEATER

FOR YOUR SAFETY

READ BEFORE LIGHTING

WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a ﬁre or explosion may result causing property damage, per

sonal injury or loss of life.

A. This appliance has a pilot which must be

lighted by hand. 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.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

• Do not try to light any appliance.

• Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone in your building.

• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neigh bor ʼs phone. Follow the gas supplierʼs instructions.

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the ﬁre department.

C. Use only your hand to push in or turn the

gas control knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not push in or turn by hand, donʼt try to repair it, call a qualiﬁed service tech

nician or gas supplier. Force or attempted repair may result in a ﬁre or explosion.

D. Do not use this appliance if any part has

been under water. Immediately call a qualiﬁed service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.

LIGHTING

INSTRUCTIONS

NOTICE: During initial operation of new heater, burning logs will give off a paper-burning smell. Orange ﬂame will also be pres

ent. Open a window to vent smell. This will only last a few hours.

THERMOSTAT CONTROL

OPERATION

The thermostat control knob can be set to any comfort level between HI and LO. The thermostat will gradually modulate the heat output and ﬂame height from higher to lower settings or pilot, in order to maintain the comfort level you select. The ideal comfort setting will vary by household depending upon the amount of space to be heated, the output of the central heating system, etc.

Note: Selecting the HI setting with the control knob will cause the burner to remain fully on, without modulating down in most cases.

MANUAL LIGHTING

PROCEDURE

1. Follow steps 1 through 5 under Lighting Instructions, page 15.

2. Depress control knob and light pilot with match.

3. Keep control knob pressed in for 30 seconds after lighting pilot. After 30 seconds, release control knob. Now follow step 8 in Lighting Instructions, above.

OPERATING HEATER

INSPECTING BURNERS

Check pilot ﬂame pattern and burner ﬂame patterns often.

PILOT FLAME PATTERN

Figure 25 shows a correct pilot ﬂame pattern. Figure 26 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 pilot ﬂame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 26

• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appli

ance, column 1)

• see Troubleshooting

, page 18

Note: The pilot ﬂame on natural gas units will have a slight curve, but ﬂame should be blue and have no yellow or orange color.

CLEANING AND

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Turn off heater

and let cool before cleaning.

CAUTION: You must keep

control areas, burner and circu

lating 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, pet hair, bedding material, etc.

BURNER INJECTOR 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 ﬂame. 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 qualiﬁed service person.

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 us

ing compressed air no greater than 30 PSI. Your local computer store, hardware store or home center may carry compressed air in a can. You can use a vacuum cleaner in the blow position. 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. Note: Removing the rear panel and top grates of your stove will make cleaning easier.

1. Shut off the unit, including the pilot. Allow

the unit to cool for at least thirty minutes.

2. Inspect burner, pilot and primary air inlet holes on

injector holder for dust and dirt (see Figure 27).

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

the burner.

4. Check the injector 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.

5. Blow air into the primary air holes on the injector holder.

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

Clean the pilot assembly also. A yellow tip on the pilot ﬂame indicates dust and dirt in the pilot as

sembly. There is a small pilot air inlet hole about two inches from where the pilot ﬂame comes out of the pilot assembly (see Figure 28). 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.
