PRODUCT FEATURES

OPERATION

This heater is clean burning. It requires no outside venting. There is no heat loss out a vent or up a chimney. Heat is generated by

both realistic ames and glowing coals. This

heater is designed for vent-free operation with ue damper closed. It has been tested and approved to ANSI Z21.11.2 standard for unvented heaters. State and local codes in some areas prohibit the use of vent-free heaters. This heater may also be operated as a vented decorative

(ANSI Z21.60) product by opening the ue

damper (Non-Thermostat Models Only).

AIR FOR COMbUSTION AND VENTILATION

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. 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.

www.fmiproducts.com

SAFETY DEVICE

This heater has a pilot with an Oxygen Depletion Sensing (ODS) safety shutoff system. The ODS/pilot is a required feature for vent-free room heaters. The ODS/pilot shuts off the heater if there is not enough fresh air.

ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM

This heater has an electronic ignitor to light heater fuel supply.

PROVIDING ADEQUATE VENTILATION

The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for Combustion and Ventilation.

All spaces in homes fall into one of the three

following ventilation classications:

1. Unusually Tight Construction

2. Unconned Space

3. Conned 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 dened 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 oors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical and gas lines and at other openings.

AIR FOR COMbUSTION AND VENTILATION

Continued

If your home meets all of the three criteria

above, you must provide additional fresh air. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors, page 8.

If your home does not meet all of the

three criteria above, proceed to Determin- ing Fresh-Air Flow For Heater Location, below.

Conned and Unconned Space

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/hr (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate

input rating of all appliances installed in that

space and an unconned space as a space

whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet

per 1,000 Btu/hr (4.8 m3 per kw) of the ag-

gregate 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.

* 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 Conned or Unconned Space

Use this work sheet to determine if you have

a conned or unconned space.

Space: Includes the room in which you will install

replace 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).

Length x Width x Height =__________cu. ft.

(volume of space)

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

(width) x 8 ft. (ceiling height) = 2560 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: 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space) x 20

= 51,200 (maximum Btu/Hr the space can

support)

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

Vent-free replace __________ Btu/Hr Gas water heater* __________ Btu/Hr Gas furnace __________ Btu/Hr Vented gas heater __________ Btu/Hr Gas replace logs __________ Btu/Hr Other gas appliances* + _________Btu/Hr Total = _________Btu/Hr * Do not include direct-vent gas appliances.

Direct-vent draws combustion air from the outdoors and vents to the outdoors.

Example: Gas water heater __________ Btu/Hr Vent-free replace + _________Btu/Hr Total = _________Btu/Hr

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

_______ Btu/Hr (maximum can support) _______ Btu/Hr (actual amount used) Example: 51,200 Btu/Hr (maximum the

73,000 Btu/Hr (actual amount of

The space in the above example is a conned

space because the actual Btu/Hr used is more than the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support. You must provide additional fresh air. Your options are as follows:

A. Rework worksheet, adding the space of an

adjoining room. If the extra space provides an unconned space, remove door to adjoining room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See Ventilation Air From Inside Building, page 8.

B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See

Ventilation Air From Outdoors, page 8.

C. Install a lower Btu/Hr replace, if lower Btu/

Hr size makes room unconned.

If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maxi-

mum Btu/Hr the space can support, the space is an unconned space. You will need no additional

fresh air ventilation.

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

or applicable local codes.

VENTILATION AIR

Ventilation Air From Inside Building

This fresh air would come from an adjoining

unconned space. When ventilating to an adjoining unconned space, you must provide

two permanent openings: one within 12" of the

ceiling and one within 12" of the oor on the

wall connecting the two spaces (see options

1 and 2, Figure 2). You can also remove door into adjoining room (see option 3, Figure 2).

Follow the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for Combustion and Ventilation for required size of ventilation

grills or ducts.

Ventilation Air From Outdoors

Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation grills or ducts. You must provide two permanent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling

and one within 12" of the oor. Connect these

items directly to the outdoors or spaces open to the outdoors. These spaces include attics and crawl spaces. Follow the National Fuel

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

of ventilation grills or ducts. IMPORTANT: Do not provide openings for

inlet or outlet air into attic if attic has a thermostat-controlled power vent. Heated air entering the attic will activate the power vent.

INSTALLING DAMPER CLAMP ACCESSORY FOR VENTED OPERATION

Note: When used as a vented heater, appliance must be installed only in a solid-fuel burning replace with a working ue and constructed of noncombustible material.

For Massachusetts Residents Only: Installation of this gas log set as a vented appliance in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires the damper be permanently removed or welded in the fully open position.

If your heater is a manually-controlled model,

you may use this heater as a vented product. There are three reasons for operating your heater in the vented mode.

1. The replace does not meet the clearance

to combustibles requirements for ventfree operation.

125009-01A12

Page 13

INSTALLATION

Continued

2. State or local codes do not permit ventfree operation.

3. You prefer vented operation.

If reasons number 1 or 2 apply to you, you must permanently open chimney ue damper.

You must install the damper clamp accessory

(to order, see Accessories, page 37). This

will insure vented operation (see Figure 10). The damper clamp will keep damper open. Installation instructions are included with clamp accessory.

See chart below for minimum permanent ue

opening you must provide. Attach damper clamp so the minimum permanent ue opening will be maintained at all times.

INSTALLING HEATER bASE ASSEMbLY

WARNING: You must secure

this heater to replace oor. If

not, heater will move when you

adjust controls. Moving heater may cause a gas leak.

WARNING: If installing in a sunken replace, special care is needed. You must raise the replace oor to allow access to heater control panel. This will insure adequate air ow and guard against sooting and controls being damaged. Raise replace oor with noncombustible material. Make sure material is secure.

CAUTION: Do not pick up heater base assembly by burners. This could damage heater. Only handle base assembly by grates.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the heater burners

are level. If heater is not level, heater will not work properly. For thermostat models, avoid

damage to thermostat bulb. Avoid nicks or sharp bends in thermostat bulb wire. Keep thermostat bulb in mounting bracket until

ready to mount base to oor. See Optional Positioning Of Thermostat Sensing Bulb,

page 27.

Installation Items Needed

Before installing heater, make sure you have

the items listed below.

• external regulator (supplied by installer)

• piping (check local codes)

• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)

• equipment shutoff valve *

• test gauge connection *

• sediment trap

• tee joint

• pipe wrench

• approved exible gas line with gas con-

nector (if allowed by local codes) (not provided)

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

For propane/LP units, the installer must

supply an external regulator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11" and 14" of water. If you do not re-

duce incoming gas pressure, heater regulator

damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure

14. Pointing the vent down protects it from

freezing rain or sleet.

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 requirements for locating equipment shutoff

valve to replaces.

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 heater valves.

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

model. Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and heater. Locate 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.

and let cool before cleaning.

CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burners and circulating air passageways of heater clean. Inspect these areas of heater before each use. Have heater inspected yearly by a qualied service person. Heater may need more frequent cleaning due to excessive lint from carpeting, pet hair, bedding material, 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 qualied

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. 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 unit, including pilot. Allow unit to

cool for at least thirty minutes.

2. Inspect burner, pilot and primary air inlet

holes on injector holder for dust and dirt (see Figure 35).

3. Blow air through the ports/slots and holes in the burner.

4. Check 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, beginning on page 25.

Clean pilot assembly also. A yellow tip on the

pilot ame indicates dust and dirt in the pilot

assembly. There is a small pilot air inlet hole

about 2" from where the pilot ame comes out

of the pilot assembly (see Figure 36). 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.

LOGS

• If you remove logs for cleaning, refer to Installing Logs, page 18, to properly replace

logs.

• Replace log(s) if broken or chipped (dimesized or larger).

MAIN bURNER

Periodically inspect all burner ame holes with the heater running. All slotted burner ame holes should be open with yellow ame present. All round burner ame holes should be open with a small blue ame present. Some burner ame holes may become blocked by debris or rust, with no ame present. If so, turn off heater and let cool. Remove blockage, blocked burner ame holes will create soot.

OPTIONAL POSITIONING OF THERMOSTAT

SENSING bULb

(Thermostat-Controlled Models Only)

FOR MASONRY AND FACTORYbUILT METAL FIREPLACE

If your log set cycles to pilot, but the room

temperature drops to a lower than ideal comfort level before the log set comes back

on, you may want to reposition the thermostat

sensing bulb. The thermostat sensing bulb is located on the

gas valve assembly. This location allows the thermostat to keep the room temperature at an ideal comfort level for most replace applications. If positioning the thermostat sensing

bulb elsewhere, follow these directions.

Tools needed: 5/16" hex driver or socket

1. Locate the gas valve assembly and thermostat sensing bulb (see Figure 37).

2. With 5/16” hex driver or socket, loosen

the thermostat screw. Carefully slide the thermostat sensing bulb out of the retaining clamp (see Figure 38).

Note: Do not remove screw. Make sure

you tighten screw after removing thermostat sensing bulb.

IMPORTANT: Do not force or bend ther-

mostat sensing bulb or capillary.

3. The thermostat sensing bulb may be located to the lower right front side of

replace. Place bulb in an area that will

be close to room temperature when log set is operating.
