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
(30ml) of water for every 1,000 BTU’s (.3KW’s) of gas input per hour.
Unvented room heaters are recommended as supplemental heater (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. The following
steps will help insure that water vapor does not become a problem.
1.Be sure the heater is a sized properly for the application, including ample combustion air and circulation air.
2.If high humidity is experienced, dehumidifier 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.
OVERRIDE CONTROL
SYSTEM
These fireplaces have two operation
method: Remote Control and Manual
Control. The Remote Control has a
transmitter, which requires three AAA
batteries and electric power outlet to
operate. If no power, you can operate
the fireplace by manual.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
WARNING: This heater
shall not be installed in a confined
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.
PROVIDING ADEQUATE
VENTILATION
The following are excerpts from
National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 24/
ANSI Z 223.1. Section 5.3, Air for
Combustion and Ventilation.
All spaces in homes fall into one of
the three following ventilation
classifications:
1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconfined Space
3. Confined Space
The information on pages 5 through 6
will help you classify your space and
provide adequate ventilation.
Confined and Unconfined Space
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1 defines a confined 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 and an unconfining
space 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
unconfined space.
This heater shall not be installed in
a confined space or unusually tight
construction unless provisions are
provided for adequate combustion
and ventilation air.
* Adjoining rooms are communicating
only if there are doorless passageways or ventilation grills between
them.
Unusually Tight Construction
DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR HEATER LOCATION
Determining if You Have a Confined or Unconfined Space
Use this worksheet to determine if you have a confined or unconfined space.
Space: Includes the room in which you will install heater plus any adjoining rooms with doorless passageways
or ventilation grills between the rooms.
1. Determine the volume of the space (length×width×height).
Length×Width×Height= cu.ft. (volume of space)
Example: Space size 20ft. (length)×16ft.(width)×8ft. (ceiling height)=2560cu. 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. Divide the space volume by 50 cubic feet to determine the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support.
(volume of space)÷50 cu. ft.=(Maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)
Example: 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space)÷50 cu.ft.=51.2 or 51,200(maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)
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
defined as construction where:
a) walls and ceilings exposed to the
outside atmosphere have a
continuous water vapor retarder
with a rating of one perm (6×10
-11
kg
per pa-sec-m2) or less with
openings gasketed or sealed and
b) weather stripping has been added
on windows that can be opened
and doors and
c) caulking or sealants are applied
to areas such as joints around
window and door frames, between
sole plates and floors, between
wall-ceiling joints, between wall
panels, at penetrations for
plumbing, electrical, and gas
lines, and at other openings.
If your home meets all of the three
criteria above, you must provide
additional fresh air. See Ventilation Air
From Outdoors (page 6).
If your home does not meet all of the
three criteria above, proceed to
Determining Fresh-Air Flow For
Heater Location (below).
6
WARNING: Rework worksheet, adding
the space of the adjoining unconfined
space. The combined spaces must have
enough fresh air to supply all appliances in
both spaces.
If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support, the space is an
unconfined space. You will need no additional fresh air ventilation.
3. Add the Btu/Hr of all fuel burning appliances in the space.
Vent-free heater Btu/Hr
Gas water heater* Btu/Hr
Gas furnace Btu/Hr
Vented gas heater Btu/Hr
Gas heater 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.
4. Compare the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support with the actual amount of Btu/Hr used.
Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support)
Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used)
Example : 51,200 Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support)
56,000 Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used)
The space in the above example is a confined 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 unconfined
space, remove door to adjoining room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See Ventilation Air From
Inside Building (below).
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors (below).
C. Install a lower Btu/Hr heater, if lower Btu/Hr size makes room unconfined.
Figure 2 -Ventilation Air from Inside Building
Example:
Gas water heater 30,000 Btu/Hr
Vent-free heater + 26,000 Btu/Hr
Total = 56,000 Btu/Hr
WARNING: If the area in which the heater 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, ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3 or applicable local codes.
This fresh air would come from an adjoining unconfined space. When ventilating to an adjoining unconfined space, you must provide two permanent openings:
one within 12" of the ceiling and one within 12" of the
floor 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. NFPA 24/ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation for re-
quired size of ventilation grills or ducts.
Ventilation Air From lnside Building
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 floor. 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, NFPA 24/ANSI
Z223.1, Section 5.3, 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.

l in high traffic areas
l in windy or drafty areas
WARNING: Maintain the minimum clearances. If you can, provide greater clearances from floor,
ceiling, and adjoining side and
back walls.
CAUTION: This heater creates
warm air currents. These currents
move heat to wall surfaces next to
heater. Installing heater next to vinyl
or cloth wall coverings or operating
heater where impurities (such as
tobacco smoke, aromatic candles,
cleaning fluids, oil or kerosene lamps,
etc.) in the air exist, may discolor
walls.
IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters add
moisture to the air. Although this is
beneficial, installing heater in rooms
without enough ventilation air may
cause mildew to form from too much
moisture. See Air for Combustion and
Ventilation, pages 5 through 6.
CHECK GAS TYPE
Use only the type of gas indicated on
the plate. If your gas supply can not
meet that requirement, do not install
heater. Call the dealer where you purchased heater, for the proper type of
heater.

CONNECTING TO GAS
SUPPLY
WARNING: A qualified service
person must connect heater to gas
supply. Follow all local codes.
CAUTION: Never connect heater
directly to the gas supply. This
heater requires an external regulator (not supplied). lnstall the external regulator between the heater
and gas supply.
INSTALLATION ITEMS NEEDED
Before installing heater, make sure
you have the items listed below.
l piping (check local codes)
l sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)
l equipment shutoff valve*
l test gauge connection**
l sediment trap
l tee joint
l pipe wrench
l Flexible Gas hose (check local code)
* A CSA design-certified equipment
shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is
an acceptable alternative to test
gauge connection. Purchase the
optional CSA design-certified
equipment shutoff valve from your
dealer. See Accessories.
Figure 5 -Gas Regulator Location
and Gas Line Access Into Stove
Cabinet
Figure 6 - External Regulator With
Vent Pointing Down
Figure 7 -Gas Connection
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 inches of water.
If you do not reduce incoming gas
pressure, heater regulator damage
could occur. lnstall external regulator
with the vent pointing down as shown
in Figure 6. Pointing the vent down
protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
* Purchase the optional CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve
from your dealer. See Accessories.
** Minimum inlet pressure for purpose of input adjustment.
NG Models:
5” to 10.5” W.C.

regulator for natural gas
INSTALLATION
Continued
WARNING: Never connect heater
to private (non-utility) gas wells.
This gas is commonly known as
wellhead gas.
Front View
CAUTION: Only use a new black
iron or steel pipe. Internally-tinned
copper tubing may be used in
certain areas. Check you local
codes. Use pipe of 1/2" diameter or
greater to allow proper volume gas
to heater. If pipe is too small, undue
loss of pressure will occur.
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 7).
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. 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.
CAUTION: Use pipe joint sealant
that is resistant to gas (PROPANE
or NG).
We recommend that you install a
sediment trap in a supply line as
shown in Figure 7. Locate sediment
trap where it is within reach for cleaning.
Install in the 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 incorrectly,
heater may not run properly.
CAUTION: Avoid damage to
regulator. Hold gas regulator with
wrench when connecting into gas
piping and/or fittings.
