qualied service technician prior to installing this appliance.
The appliance must be set on a level surface in your replace or rebox.
This appliance has not been tested for use with glass doors. To reduce the risk of re or injury, do
not install or use glass doors with this appliance. If the replace has glass doors, never operate
the appliance with the glass doors closed. Heat buildup within the replace could cause the glass
doors to break or burst, or cause the release of harmful combustion products into the living area.
If the replace has vents at the bottom, the vents must be opened before running the appliance.
This appliance is designed to be smokeless. If the logs ever begin to smoke, extinguish the
appliance (by pulling on the snuer device handle underneath the front log of the appliance – see
Section IX. OPERATION), wait for the appliance to cool down for at least 30 minutes, and check
the positioning of the logs. Note: During initial operation, slight smoking might occur due to logs
curing and the burning o of manufacturing residues. This is a normal condition.
Do not use cleaning materials or agents such as furniture polish, wax, carpet cleaner, or similar
products in the room where the appliance is located while the appliance is in use. If heated,
the vapors from these products can create a white powdery residue within the burner box or on
adjacent walls or furniture.
Do not operate this appliance where ammable liquids or vapors are used or stored, or in a dusty
environment.
If water has entered the burner reservoir of the appliance, ensure that the water has been
emptied from the appliance before use. Water can dilute the duraame illuma-fuel and aect the
performance of the appliance.

II. AIR FOR VENTILATION AND COMBUSTION
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,
ANS Z223.1, Section 5.3, or applicable local codes.
NOTE: This Section does not apply if the appliance is being installed in a vented conguration.
This Section applies only if the appliance is being installed in an unvented rebox, or in a vented
replace or rebox with the damper closed.
• Adequate ventilation must be provided for safe operation of this appliance. This appliance shall
not be installed in a conned space or unusually tight construction unless provisions are made
for adequate combustion and ventilation air.
• To begin with, you must determine if your home has unusually tight construction. Air leaking
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 dened as construction in which walls and ceilings exposed to
the outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of one perm (6 x
-11
10
kg per pa-sec-m2) or less with openings gasketed or sealed; AND weather stripping has
been added on openable windows and doors; AND caulking or sealants are applied to areas
such as joints around window and door frames, between sole plates and oors, between wallceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical and gas lines, and at
other openings.

• If your home meets all three of the above criteria, you must provide additional fresh air. See
Ventilation Air from Outdoors, below. If your home does not meet all three of the above criteria,
you must next determine whether or not you are installing the appliance in a conned space.
• The National Fuel Gas Code, ANS Z223.1 denes a conned space as a space with a volume of
less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m
3
per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all
appliances installed in that space. Rooms communicating directly with the space in which the
appliance is installed are considered a part of the space. (“Communicating directly” is dened
as having doorless passageways or ventilation grills between the two rooms.)
Use the following worksheet to determine if you have a conned or unconned space. Remember,
space is dened as the room in which you will install the appliance plus any adjoining rooms with
doorless passageways or ventilation grills between the rooms.
Step 1: Determine the total Btu/hr of all fuel-burning appliances in the space. Include 12,000 Btu/
hr for this appliance, and add any other gas or alcohol burning appliances (such as gas
water heaters, gas furnaces, gas stoves, etc.) that are installed within the same space. Do
not include any direct-vent gas appliances, however, as these draw combustion air from
the outdoors and vent to the outdoors.
Step 2: Divide the number obtained in Step 1 by 1000.
Step 3: Determine the volume of the space (length x width x height). Add the volume for any other
rooms in the space, as dened above.
Step 4: Divide the number obtained in Step 3 by 50.
Step 5: Compare the number obtained in Step 4 with the number obtained in Step 2. If the
number from Step 4 is smaller, the space is conned, and you must provide additional
air for combustion and ventilation. If the number from Step 2 is smaller, the space is
unconned, and you may install the appliance.
Example 1: The appliance is to be installed in a room that is 15 ft x 20 ft with 8 ft ceilings. There
are no doorless passageways or vents between rooms, and there is a 40,000 Btu/hr gas wall
heater in the room.
Step 1: Total Btu/hr = 12,000 (this duraame
®
illuma™ appliance) + 40,000 (gas wall heater) =
52,000 Btu/hr
Step 2: Divide by 1000: 52,000 / 1000 = 52.
Step 3: Volume of space = 15 x 20 x 8 = 2400.
Step 4: Divide by 50: 2400 / 50 = 48.
Step 5: Compare the numbers: 48 (Step 4) is smaller than 52 (Step 2), so the space is conned.
You must provide additional ventilation.
Example 2: Now let’s assume the 15 ft x 20 ft x 8 ft room with the 40,000 Btu/hr gas stove has a
doorless passageway communicating with a room that is 15 ft x 15 ft with 8 ft ceilings.
Step 1: Total Btu/hr = 12,000 (this duraame
®
illuma™ appliance) + 40,000 (gas wall heater) =
52,000 Btu/hr
Step 2: Divide by 1000: 52,000 / 1000 = 52.
Step 3: Volume of space = (15 x 20 x 8) + (15 x 15 x 8) = 2400 + 1800 = 4200.
Step 4: Divide by 50: 4200 / 50 = 84.
