IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Read these instructions carefully before installing or trying to operate this Vent Free gas heater.
5. Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing an appliance, must be replaced prior to operating
the heater.
6. Installation and repair should be done by a qualied service person. The heater should be inspected
before use and at least annually by a professional service person. More frequent cleaning may be
required due to extensive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc. It is imperative that control
compartments, burners and circulating air passageways of the heater be kept clean.
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.
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 National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.l/NFPA54.
10. This unit was tested and listed to ANSI Z21.11.2-2011 by OMNI-Test Laboratories.
11. 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 G1-0513-436 for this appliance.
12. Do not install this heater in a bathroom or bedroom.
13. Correct installation of the re media, 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 media placement instructions for proper
installation.
14. 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.
15. 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Read these instructions carefully before installing or trying to operate this Vent Free gas heater.
16. Keep room area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other ammable vapors and
liquids.
17. This appliance is intended for supplemental heating.
18. 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.
19. During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various components of this heater 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.
20. Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are for elevations up to 2,000 feet. If your installation
is at an elevation greater than these, consult with the local authority having jurisdiction for gas
product installations to determine their specic requirements for high altitude installations.
21. The heater 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 qualied service
technician to inspect the heater and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control
which has been under water.
23. Never burn solid fuels in a replace where an unvented heater is installed.
24. WARNING: Any change to this heater or its controls can be dangerous.
25. When this heater is installed directly on carpeting, tile or other combustible material, other than
wood ooring, the heater shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and
depth of the heater.

ADEQUATE COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR
This heater shall not be installed in a conned 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), denes a conned 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 unconned space
is dened 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 unconned 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
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
WARNING
applicable local codes.

ROOM VOLUME for VENT FREE
The following formula can be used to determine the maximum heater rating (per the denition of unconned 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 H Series Vent Free Gas Fireplace?
Maximum BTU/hr. my space will support (use formula above) a) __________________
BTU/hr. of European Home H Series Vent Free Gas Fireplace b) ____37,500________
If the answer to a) is greater than b) then your space will support the installation of the H Series Vent Free Gas Fireplace; if a) is
less than b) then your space will not support an H Series Vent Free replace.

Note
Bringing in Outside (or “Make-up”) Air
Many building code jurisdictions require that outside or “make-up” air be provided when installing a replace of this type. This
requirement can be satised by the proper installation of an ‘outside air kit’ which is not provided. The nal determination of the
suitability of any particular kit must be made by the installer.
If an outside air supply is desired it should be added to the room in which the H Series Vent Free Gas Fireplace is installed, not to
the chase enclosing the replace.
If outside air is introduced into the chase, competing air pressures could compromise the operation of the replace.
