IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Read these instructions carefully before installing or trying to operate this Vent Free gas heater.

• Any change to this heater or its controls can be dangerous.

• Improper installation or use of the heater can cause serious injury or
death from re, burns, explosion or carbon monoxide poisoning.

• Do not allow fans to blow directly into the replace. Avoid any drafts
that alter burner ame patterns.

WARNING

• Do not use a blower insert, heat exchanger insert or other accessory,
not approved for use with this heater where applicable.

1. Due to high temperatures, the heater should be located out of trac and away from
furniture and draperies.

2. Children and adults should be alerted to the hazard of high surface temperature and should
stay away to avoid burns or clothing ignition.

3. Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room with the
heater.

4. Do not place clothing or other ammable material on or near the heater.

5. Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing a heater, must be replaced prior to
operating the heater.

6. Installation and repair should be done by a qualied service person.

7. To prevent malfunction and/or sooting, an unvented gas heater should be cleaned before
use and at least annually by a professional service person. More frequent cleaning may be
required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc. It is imperative that
control compartments, burners and circulating air passageways be kept clean.

8. CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING: Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning are similar
to the u with headaches, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these signs, obtain fresh air
immediately. Have the heater serviced as it may not be operating properly.

9. The installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Read these instructions carefully before installing or trying to operate this Vent Free gas heater.

11. Do not install the heater in a bathroom or bedroom.

12. Correct installation of the ceramic stones, proper location of the heater, and annual cleaning
are necessary to avoid potential problems with sooting. Sooting, resulting from improper
installation or operation, can settle on surfaces outside the replace. See stone placement
instructions for proper installation.

13. WARNING: Avoid any drafts that alter burner ame patterns. Do not allow fans to blow
directly into replace. Do not place a blower inside burn area of rebox. Ceiling fans may
create drafts that alter burner ame patterns. Sooting and improper burning will occur.

14. Caution: Candles, incense, oil lamps, etc. produce combustion by-products including
soot. Vent Free heaters will not lter or clean soot produced by these types of products.
In addition, the smoke and/or aromatics (scents) may be reburned in the Vent Free heater
which can produce odors. It is recommended to minimize the use of candles, incense, etc.
while the Vent Free heater is in operation.

15. Keep room area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other ammable
vapors and liquids.

16. Unvented gas heaters are a supplemental zone heater. They are not intended to be the
primary heating appliance.

17. Unvented gas heaters emit moisture into the living area. In most homes of average
construction, this does not pose a problem. In houses of extremely tight construction,
additional mechanical ventilation is recommended.

18. During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various components of this appliance are
treated with certain oils, lms or bonding agents. These chemicals are not harmful but may
produce annoying smoke and smells as they are burned o during the initial operation
of the heater; possibly causing headaches or eye or lung irritation. This is a normal and
temporary occurrence. The initial break-in operation should last two to three hours with the
burner at the highest setting. Provide maximum ventilation by opening windows or doors
to allow odors to dissipate. Any odors remaining after this initial break-in period will be
slight and will disappear with continued use.

19. Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are for elevations up to 2,000 feet. For
elevations above 2,000 feet, input ratings should be reduced 4 percent for each 1,000 feet
above sea level. Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code.

20. The heater and its main gas valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psig (3.5 kPa).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Read these instructions carefully before installing or trying to operate this Vent Free gas heater.

21. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its equipment
shuto valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures
equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).

22. Do not use this room 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.

23. This heater must not be used with glass doors in the closed position. This can lead to pilot
outages and severe sooting outside the replace.

24. Never burn solid fuels in a replace where an unvented room heater is installed.

25. Always have a replace screen in place when the appliance is in operation and, unless
other provisions for combustion air are provided, the screen must have an opening(s) for
induction of combustion air.

26. All outside air ducts and/or ash dumps in the replace must be permanently closed prior to
the installation of the heater.

27. This appliance has been certied by OMNI-Test Laboratories, Inc. to ANSI Z21.11.2-2007,
“Standard for Gas-Fired Room Heaters, Volume II, Unvented Room Heaters.”

28. This appliance is approved for installation in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The
Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters has issued approval number G3-0311­479 for this appliance.

ADEQUATE COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR

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.

The National Fuel Gas Code, (ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54), denes a conned 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. An unconned space is dened 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 unconned space.

UNUSUALLY TIGHT CONSTRUCTION IS DEFINED AS CONSTRUCTION WHERE…

a) walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of 1

perm (6 x 1011 kg per pa-sec-m2) or less with openings gasketed or sealed;

b) weather stripping has been added on operable windows and doors, and

c) caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as joints around window and door frames, between sole plates and
oors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines, and at
other openings.

This appliance is equipped for natural gas.

Field conversion is not permitted.

WARNING

The following formula can be used to determine the maximum heater rating (per the denition of unconned space)
that is allowed in your space:

Maximum BTU/Hr. = x 1000

Example A: Consider two connecting rooms with an open area between, with the following dimensions: L1 = 15½ ft.,
L2 = 12 ft., W = 12 ft., H = 8 ft.

x 1000 = 52,800 BTU/Hr.

Example B: If there were a door between the two rooms the calculation would be based only on the room with the
heater.

x 1000 = 29,760 BTU/Hr.

Will my space support a Gas Stones Vent Free with Fusion Basket?

Maximum BTU/hr. my space will support (use formula above) 1) __________________

BTU/hr. of European Home Gas Stones Vent Free 2) ____39,000________

If the answer to 1) is greater than 2) then your space will support the installation of the Gas Stones Vent Free; if 1) is
less than 2) then your space will not support a Gas Stones Vent Free.
