SAFETY

1. Do not place Propane/LP supply tank(s) inside any structure. Propane/LP supply tank(s) must be placed outdoors.

2. This heater shall not be installed in a bedroom or bathroom.

3. This heater needs fresh air ventilation to run properly. This heater has an Oxygen Depletion Sensing (ODS) safety shutoff system. The ODS shuts down the heater if not enough fresh air is available. See Air for Combustion and Ventilation, pages 7 and 8. If heater keeps shutting off, see Troubleshooting, page 25.

4. Keep all air openings in front and bottom of heater clear and free of debris. This will ensure enough air for proper combustion.

5. If heater shuts off, do not relight until you have provided fresh, outside air. If heater keeps shutting off, have it serviced.

6. Do not run heater:

• Where ammable liquids or vapors are

used or stored.

• Under dusty conditions.

7. Before using furniture polish, wax, carpet cleaner, or similar products, turn heater off. If heated, the vapors from these products may create a white powder residue within burner box or on adjacent walls or furniture.

8. Do not use heater if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualied service technician to inspect the room heater and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.

9. Turn off heater and let cool before servicing. Only a qualied service person should service and repair heater.

10. Operating heater above elevations of 4,500 feet could cause pilot outage.

11. To prevent performance problems, do not use propane/LP fuel tank of less than 100 lbs. capacity.

UNPACKING

1. Remove logs and burner base assembly from carton.

Note: Do not pick up burner base as-

sembly by burners as this could damage heater. Always handle base assembly by grate.

WATER VAPOR: A BY-PRODUCT OF

UNVENTED ROOM HEATERS

Water vapor is a by-product of gas combustion. An unvented room heater produces approximately one (1) ounce (30 mL) of water for every 1,000 BTUs (0.3 KWs) of gas input per hour. Unvented room heaters are recommended as supplemental heat (a room) rather than a primary heat source (an entire house). In most supplemental heat applications, the water vapor does not create a problem. In most applications, the water vapor enhances the low humidity atmosphere experienced during cold weather.

State of Massachusetts: The installation must be made by a licensed plumber or gas tter in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Sellers of unvented propane or natural gas-red supplemental room heaters shall provide to each purchaser a copy of 527 CMR 30 upon sale of the unit.

In the State of Massachusetts the gas cock must be a T-handle type. The State of Massachusetts requires that a exible appliance connector cannot exceed three feet in length.

2. Remove all protective packaging applied to logs and heater for shipment.

3. Check all items for any shipping damage. If damaged, promptly inform dealer where you purchased the heater.

The following steps will help ensure that water vapor does not become a problem.

1. Be sure the heater is sized properly for the application, including ample combustion air and circulation air.

2. If high humidity is experienced, a dehumidier may be used to help lower the water vapor content of the air.

3. Do not use an unvented room heater as the primary heat source.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

WARNING: This heater shall

not be installed in a conned 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.

Today’s homes are built more energy efcient 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 ef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, replaces, 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.

WARNING: This heater shall

not be installed in a room or space unless the required volume of indoor combustion air is provided by the method described in the National Fuel Gas

Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the International Fuel Gas Code, or

applicable local codes.

WARNING: If the area in which

the heater may be operated is smaller than that dened as an unconned 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, the International Fuel Gas Code, or

applicable local codes.

WARNING: Do not overtighten gas connections.

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 heater. If pipe is too small, undue loss of pressure will occur.

CAUTION: For natural gas,

check your gas line pressure before connecting heater to gas line. Gas line pressure must be no greater than 9" WC. If gas line pressure is higher, heater regulator damage could occur.

CAUTION: Avoid damage to

regulator. Hold gas regulator with wrench when connecting into gas piping and/or ttings.

CAUTION: Use pipe joint

sealant that is resistant to gas (Propane/LP or Natural Gas).

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

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

• piping (check local codes)

• sealant (resistant to natural gas and propane/LP gas)

• equipment shutoff valve*

• test gauge connection*

• sediment trap

• tee joint

• pipe wrench

• exible gas hose (check local codes)

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

INSTALLATION

Typical Inlet Pipe Diameters

Use 3/8" black iron pipe or greater. 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 heater (see Figure 14).

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

For propane/LP installations, apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads. This will prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result in clogged heater valves.

The installer must supply an external regulator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11" WC and 14" WC. 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 15. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

Install sediment trap in supply line as shown in Figure 14. Place sediment trap where it is within reach for cleaning. Place 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.

BURNER INJECTOR HOLDER AND PILOT AIR INLET HOLE

We recommend that you clean the unit every 2,500 hours of operation or every three months. 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 PSl. 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 for dust and dirt (see Figure 32).

3. Blow air through the ports/slots and holes

in the burner. Also clean the pilot assembly.

burner ame holes may become blocked by debris or rust, with no ame present. If so, turn off the heater and let it cool, and remove blockage or replace burner. Blocked burner ame holes will create soot.

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.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Possible Cause Corrective Action

Using natural gas and pilot will not light.

Pressure Switch

When using natural gas (NG), there is a pressure switch that acts to turn off the gas ow to the pilot if the inlet pressure exceeds 9" WC. This is to prevent the operation of the unit on the wrong gas (propane/LP). If your natural gas supply exceeds 9" WC the unit will not operate. Either contact your gas supplier to check and adjust the inlet pressure or a qualied service technician can bypass the pressure switch.

Before attempting to bypass the pressure switch, make sure the type of gas being used is correct. Check to make sure the connection tting is in the correct inlet on the regulator. Refer to Connecting to Gas Supply, page 15.

Only a qualied installer should bypass the pressure switch. To bypass the pressure switch locate the set screw on the regulator. Use a small at bladed screw driver to turn the set screw counterclockwise 2 turns. This will bypass the pressure switch function.

Problem Possible Cause Corrective Action

When ignitor button is pressed in, there is no spark at ODS/pilot.

When ignitor button is pressed in there is a spark at ODS/pilot but no ignition.
