AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

Providing Adequate 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 fuelburning appliances in your home.

Today’s 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 efficient, 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 following 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 is defined as construction where:

a. walls and ceilings e xposed to the outside atmosphere

have a continuous water vapor retar der with a rating of one perm (6 x 10 openings gasketed or sealed

b. weather stripping has been added on openable win-

dows 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 f or plumbing, 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

From Outdoors

If your home does not meet all of the three criteria above, proceed to

Ventilation Air

Confined Space 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 m3 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 m3 per kw) of 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 unconfined space.

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

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.

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 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:

height) = 2880 cu. ft. (volume of space) If additional ventilation to adjoining room is supplied with grills or open-

ings, 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

Example:

Btu/Hr the space can support)

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

* Do not include direct-vent gas appliances. Direct-vent draws combustion air from the outdoors and vents to the outdoors.

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:

The space in the above example is a confined 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:

Space size 20 ft. (length) x 18 ft. (width) x 8 ft. (ceiling

can support)

2880 cu. ft. (volume of space) x 20 = 57,600 (maximum

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 V entilation Air Fr om Inside Building.

B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventilation Air From Out-

doors, 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: If the area in which the heater may be operated is smaller than that defined as an unconfined space or if the building is of unusually tight construction, provide adequate combustion and ventilation air by one of the methods described in the

National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 Section 5.3

or applicable local codes

VENTILATION AIR

Ventilation Air From Inside Building

This fresh air would come from an adjoining unconfined space. When ventilating to an adjoining unconfined space, you must provide two permanent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and one within 12" of the floor on the wall connecting the two spaces (see options 1 and 2, Figure 3). You can also remove door into adjoining room (see option 3, Figure 3). Follow the National Fuel

INSTALLATION

Installing Gas Piping to Fireplace Location

If any of the original wire as supplied with the appliance must be replaced, it must be replaced with 105˚C wire or it's equivalent.

Operating the Blower

After final installation of your fireplace, light your gas appliance with the blower off. After about 15 minutes, turn the blower on to deliver heated air at the top louvers. The blower features a variable control which allows you to select the speed you desire. In the OFF position, the blower will not operate. In the ON position, the blower will start when the thermostat senses a sufficient increase in firebox temperature (approximately 10 to 20 minutes depending on heat setting).

Your gas logs and thermostat blower will not turn on and off at the same time. The fireplace may run for several minutes before the blower turns on. After the heater modulates to the pilot position, the blower will continue to run. The blower will shut off after the firebox temperature decreases.

It is safe to operate fireplace with blower turned off. However, the blower helps distribute heated air from the fireplace.

Note:

Periodically check the louvers of the firebox and remove any

dust, dirt, or other obstructions.

INSTALLING GAS PIPING TO FIREPLACE LOCATION

WARNING: A qualified service person must con-

nect fireplace to gas supply. Follow all local codes.

WARNING: For propane/LP units, never connect fireplace directly to propane/LP supply. This fireplace requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator between the heater and propane/LP supply.

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

Installation Items Needed

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

• external regulator (supplied by installer, for propane/LP units only)

• piping (check local codes)

• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)

• equipment shutoff valve *

• test gauge connection *

• sediment trap

• tee joint

• pipe wrench

• approved flexible gas line with gas connector (if allowed by local codes) (not provided)

* 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 Accessories, pages 36 and 37.

For propane/LP connections only, the installer must supply an external regulator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11 and 14 inches of water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, heater regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 24. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

We recommend that you install a sediment trap in supply line as shown in Figure 25. Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and fireplace. Locate sediment trap where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into fireplace gas controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is installed wrong, fireplace may not run properly.

External Regulator

Vent Pointing Down

CSA Design-Certified Equipment Shutoff Valve With 1/8" NPT Tap*

Propane/LP Supply Tank

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 1/2" diameter or greater to allow proper gas volume to fireplace. If pipe is too small, undue loss of volume will occur.

Installation must include an equipment shutoff valve, union, and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from fireplace (see Figure 24).

IMPORTANT:

Install equipment shutoff valve in an accessible location. The equipment shutoff valve is for turning on or shutting off the gas to the appliance.

Check your building codes for any special requirements for locating equipment shutoff valve to fireplaces.

Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT threads. This will prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result in clogged fireplace valves. Never use sealant on flare threads.

WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant

to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.

WARNING: You must operate this heater with the fireplace screen in place. Make sure fireplace screen is in place before running heater.

NOTICE: During initial operation of new heater, burning logs will give off a paper-burning smell. Open damper or window to vent smell. This will only last a few hours.

Because this fireplace has an electronic ignition system, in the event there is a loss of power, it will be necessary to manually light the pilot with the piezo ignitor. After the pilot is lit, the main burner will light automatically.

1. Follow steps 1 through 3 under Normal Lighting Instructions, pages 24.

2. Set manual ignition bypass switch on control panel to ON position (manual ignition position). See Figure 54.

3. The pilot is attached to the rear of the front burner. You will be able to see the pilot and spark electrode without removing the screen or logs.

4. Place the magnetic manual override handle, provided with this unit, on the end of the gas valve stem (see Figure 54).

5. Turn the override handle fully counterclockwise the PILOT position. The handle will not stop but will begin to slip when you have fully turned to the PILOT position.

6. While holding the valve handle in the PILOT position, press and release piezo ignitor button (see Figure 54). This will light the pilot. If needed, keep pressing ignitor button until pilot lights.

7. When pilot flame is lit, hold manual override handle until thermocouple heats (approximately 5 to 15 seconds). If pilot goes out, repeat process. If several a ttempts to light the pilot fail, contact a qualified service person or gas supplier for repairs.

INSPECTING BURNERS

Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame patterns often.

PILOT FLAME PATTERN

Figure 55 shows a correct pilot flame pattern. Figure 56 shows an incorrect pilot flame pattern. The incorrect pilot flame is not properly heating the thermocouple. When the thermocouple cools, the heater will shut down.

If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 56

• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 24)

• see Troubleshooting, pages 29 through 31

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.

Pilot Burner

Thermocouple

Pilot Burner

Thermocouple

Figure 56 - Incorrect Pilot Flame Pattern (Natural Gas Pilot Assy Shown)

MAIN BURNER

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

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Turn off fireplace and let cool before

cleaning.

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

CLEANING BURNER INJECTOR HOLDER

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 using 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.

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 57).

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.
