venting. There is no heat loss out a vent or up a
chimney. Heat is generated by both realistic flames
and glowing coals. This heater is designed for
vent-free operation with flue damper closed. It
has been tested and approved to ANSI Z21.11.2
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 flue damper.
SAFETY DEVICE
This heater has a pilot with an Oxygen Depletion Sensing (ODS) safety shut off system. The
ODS/pilot is a required feature for vent-free room

AIR FOR COMBUSTION
AND VENTILATION
WARNING: This heater shall
not be installed in 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.
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 6 through 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 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
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.
If your home meets all of the three
criteria above, you must provide ad
ditional fresh air. See Ventilation Air
From Outdoors, page 6.
If your home does not meet all of the three
criteria above, proceed to Determining
-
Fresh-Air Flow For Appliance Location
Confined and Unconfined Space
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA
54 defines a confined space as a space whose vol
ume 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 odorless passageways or ventilation grills
between them.
DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW
FOR APPLIANCE 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 appliance plus any adjoining rooms with
doorless passageways or ventilation grills between
the rooms.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION
AND VENTILATION
Continued
1. Determine the volume of the space (length x
width x height).
Length x Width x Height = ________
(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.
_____ _____ __(vo lume 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)
3. Add the Btu/Hr of all fuel burning appliances
in the space.

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

The space in the previous 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:
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.
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ven
tilation Air From Outdoors,
C. Install a lower Btu/Hr appliance, 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.
page 8.
WARNING: If the area in which
the appliance 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 2 on
page 8). You can also remove door into adjoining
room (see option 3, Figure 2). Follow the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Section
5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation for re-
quired size of ventilation grills or ducts.
