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 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 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 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 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 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 Ventilation Air From Outdoors, page 7.

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

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 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.

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).

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

the space is an uncon-

ﬁned space. You will need no additional fresh air ventilation.

Example: Space size 20 ft. (length) x 16 ft.

(width) x 8 ft. (ceiling height) = 2,560 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. 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: 2,560 cu. ft. (volume of space) x 20 =

63,360 (maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)

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

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 un conﬁned 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 Gas

Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation for required size of

ventilation grills or ducts.

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

_________

Btu/Hr used)

The space in the 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 ad

ditional fresh air. Your options are as follows:

A. Rework worksheet, adding the space of an adjoin

ing room. If the extra space provides an unconﬁned space, remove door to adjoining room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See Ventilation

INSTALLATION

Continued

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 18).

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 re quirements 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 ﬁre place valves. Never use sealant on ﬂare threads.

WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.

We recommend that you install a sediment trap in supply line as shown in Figure 18. 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 ﬁre place gas controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is installed wrong, ﬁreplace may not run properly.

OPTIONAL BLOWER

OPERATION

WARNING: This ﬁreplace has a three-prong, grounded electrical plug. This plug helps protect you against electrical shock. Only connect plug to a properly grounded, three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.

Locate the blower switch by opening lower louver on ﬁreplace. Blower switch is located at lower left inside louver door.

The GA3700TA thermostat-controlled blower has a variable speed control with an ON/OFF switch. The blower will start when the ther mostat senses a sufﬁcient increase in ﬁrebox tem perature. The GA37 00 variable speed blower also has an ON/OFF switch built into the variable speed control.

Note for GA3700TA Only: If you are using GA3700TA blower, your ﬁreplace and 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.

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

Follow installation instructions included with the blower accessory.

INSPECTING BURNERS

Check pilot ﬂame pattern and burner ﬂame patterns often.

PILOT FLAME PATTERN

Figure 38 shows a correct pilot ﬂame pattern. Figure 39 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 39

• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appli ance, page 20)

• see Troubleshooting

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 ﬁreplace

and let cool before cleaning.

CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burner 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.

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

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 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 com pressed air in a can, please follow the directions on the can. If you donʼt 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.

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 43). 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.
