COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR

This heater shall not be installed in a confined space or unusually tight
construction unless provisions are provided for adequate combustion and
ventilation air. The heater may be located in unusually tight construction
provided the space is unconfined, or if confined, is provided with two
permanent openings communicating directly with an additional room(s)
of sufficient volume so that the combined volume of all connected spaces
meets the criteria for an unconfined space, (National Fuel Gas Code
NFPA 54 / ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition, Section on Air for Combustion
and Ventilation. Generally 50 ft
appliances in the space.

The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, defines a confined
space as a space whose volume is less than 50 ft

3

(4.8 m

per kW) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed
in that space and an unconfined space as a space whose volume is not
less than 50 ft
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.

Unusually tight construction is defined as construction where:

a. Wall and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere have a continu-

ous water vapor retarder with a rating of one perm (6 X 10-11 kg per
pa-sec-m

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 floors, between wall ceiling
joints, between wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical,
and gas lines, and at other openings.

Example:
Vent-free heater #1 9,000 BTU/Hr

Vent-free heater #2 23,000 BTU/Hr
Gas appliance #1 35,000 BTU/Hr
(water heater)
Total = 67,000 BTU/Hr

* Do not include direct-vent gas appliances. Direct-vent is sealed com-

bustion and draws combustion air from the outdoors.

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

_______ BTU/Hr (max. the space can support)
_______ BTU/Hr (actual amount of BTU/Hr used)

Example:
61,440 BTU/Hr (max. the space can support)
67,000 BTU/Hr (actual amount of BTU/Hr used)

The space in the previous 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:

a. Rework equations adding the space of adjoining room(s). If the extra

volume provides an unconfined space, then remove door or add
ventilation grills between rooms. Refer to National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54-latest edition, Section ”Air for Combustion and
Ventilation”.

b. Vent room directly to the outdoors. Refer to National Fuel Gas Code,

ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54-latest edition, Section ”Air for Combustion and
Ventilation”.

c. Install a lower BTU/Hr heater to make the area an unconfined space.

If the actual BTU/Hr used is less than the maximum BTU/Hr the space
can support, then the space is an unconfined space. You will need no
additional fresh air ventilation for an unconfined space.

Use the following equations to determine if you have a confined or
unconfined space.

SITE REQUIREMENTS

This appliance is designed to be wall-hung. Do not recess any part of
the appliance into the wall.

This appliance may be installed in any room in a home except bedrooms
or bathrooms - or areas where large amounts of steam are likely to be
generated.

It should be noted that heaters create warm air currents. These currents
move heat to wall surfaces next to the heater. Installing the heater next
to vinyl or cloth wall coverings or operating the heater where impuri­ties in the air (such as tobacco smoke or candle smoke) exist, may
discolor walls.

Installation in living rooms is common, however other rooms such as
kitchens, dining rooms and hallways are permitted, providing a suitable
natural gas supply or propane gas supply is available, and rooms sizing
and ventilation requirements are strictly adhered to (see Combustion
And Ventilation Air section).

The appliance is designed to be versatile, and as such will operate correctly
when exposed to normal gentle drafts experienced within the home. It
is not recommended, however that the appliance be installed in areas
where it is likely to be exposed to persistent strong drafts, that may be
generated by outside doors or windows, air vents etc. It is recommended
that the appliance should not be installed within 20” of any air vent.

CAUTION

The back of the appliance may be installed directly
onto a combustible wall or non-combustible wall,
providing the area behind the appliance is flat and
does not interfere with the various vent holes in the
back panel of the appliance.

CLEARANCES TO NON-COMBUSTIBLES

Non-combustible surfaces are defined as brick, metal, marble, concrete
etc. and also a number of man-made materials impervious to flame. If in
doubt refer to the material manufacturer for further information before
proceeding with installation.

Clearances to the sides of the appliance are 4”. Clearance to the front
of the appliance is 20”.

CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS

Combustible materials are defined as wood, fabrics, or other materials
likely to combust if exposed to flame. Generally, any material, which is
likely to discolor, melt or misshape when exposed to moderate heat,
should be considered as a combustible material or surface.

Clearance to the sides of the appliance are 4” but curtains, drapes and
other fabrics are not permitted within a distance of 20” of the appliance
sides. No such materials are permitted directly above the appliance
regardless of distance.

The minimum clearance to the ceiling above the appliance is 32” mea­sured from the top of the appliance glass panel.

Combustible materials should not be positioned directly in front of the
appliance within a distance of 40”.

Under no circumstances should any electrical equipment e.g. plasma
screen TV sets etc. be positioned on the wall above the appliance. The
appliance is designed to be wall mounted alone and not in conjunction
with any type of combustible fire surround.

No combustible shelves should be positioned on the wall above the
appliance.

It should be established that any mirrors or picture frames etc. to
be positioned on the wall above the appliance are able to withstand
prolonged exposure to moderate heat and moisture before proceeding
with their installation.

The wall must be structurally sound and constructed from a material
capable of withstanding moderate heat. Finished plaster, conventional
wall paper and dry-lined plasterboard are examples of suitable materi­als. Materials such as flock, blown vinyl and embossed paper which are
sensitive to even small amounts of heat should be avoided as scorching
and or discoloration may occur over time.

If the appliance is to be mounted on a dry-lined wall or a timber framed
construction wall then the integrity and ability of the wall to carry the
weight of the appliance must be confirmed. It is important in these
circumstances that any vapor control barrier is not damaged, and that
any structural members of the house frame are not damaged.

The appliance may be positioned as close to a solid floor (i.e. stone,
wooden laminate etc.) as the particular design of fire frame permits,
however it is not permitted to install the appliance within 4” of carpet,
rugs or fabric materials of any kind. This dimension is measured verti­cally to the bottom of the appliance frame.

The appliance may be installed with or without a non-combustible hearth.
If a hearth is fitted, the size and design may be as desired.

A non-combustible shelf of any depth may be positioned above the appli­ance provided it is no closer than 16” from the top of the appliance glass
panel and the wall above the appliance is non-combustible.

Figure 1 - Gas Supply Entry Points

Non-concealed gas connections may be made using the entry points
on the sides or base of the firebox. A concealed gas connection may be
made using the knock out hole in the center back of the firebox. Select
the most appropriate entry point and knock out the rel evant hole.

If a concealed gas con nection is to be made, the supply pipe should
always be sleeved through walls and floors using the shortest possi ble
route.

For concealed supply pipe routing, pipes must (where possible) be ver tical
and providing there is sufficient wall thick ness available, they should be
placed in pipe chases. Horizontal pipe runs should be avoided. Prior to
chasing a solid wall, an inspection should be made to note the proximity
of any cables/sockets outlets which may already be buried. Pipes must
be secured using suitable clips and protected against corrosion. Ideally
factory finished protected pipe-work and fittings should be used. Joints
should be kept to a minimum and compression fittings must not be used.
The pipe-work installation must be tested for soundness before any
protection is applied and/or the pipe-work and fittings are buried.

MOUNTING THE APPLIANCE

After having selected the final mounting position of the appliance, tak ing
into account the site requirements as specified in the Site Requirements
section of these instructions, the integrity of the wall, and the feasibil­ity of the proposed supply pipe routing, the appliance firebox may be
secured to the wall.

ENTRADA DE GAS OCULTA

Mark the positions shown as ”Fixing Points” on the wall. If the appliance
is to be mounted on the inner leaf of a con ventional cavity wall, or a solid
wall, drill four holes using a 5/16” masonry bit, to a depth of 1-11/16”.
Insert the wall plugs provided. Note: Special ”screw fixings” are not

required if installed directly into vertical studs. We recommend that
this appliance should be secured to a stud on at least one side while
the other side can be secured to the wall with the ”screw fixings”.

If the appliance is to be mounted on a dry lined wall or a timber framed
construction wall then special cavity screw fixings will be required which
are not supplied with this product. These should be constructed from
metal and not plastic.

WARNING

The wall where the appliance is to be installed must
be capable of long-term support of the total load of
the appliance. Measures should also be taken to
ensure sufficient strength to withstand the force of
earthquakes, vibration and other external forces.

If a concealed gas connection is to be made ensure the gas supply pipe
is in it’s final position and can enter the appliance in the correct position
when the appliance is hung on the wall.

Insert the wall-mounting screws into the top wall plugs, taking care to
leave the screws protruding approximately 3/8” from the wall. Now hang
the appliance onto these screws through the two keyhole shaped holes
in the back panel of the appliance.

10 NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE

MOUNTING THE APPLIANCE - continued

CONNECTING A GAS LINE

Before tightening the wall-mounting screws fully, at this stage it is
recommended to check the horizontal alignment of the appliance with
a spirit level, as small adjust ments can still be made if necessary. When
this has been checked, tighten all four fixing screws fully.

To access the upper fixing screws insert a screwdriver either through
the round holes in the front of the outlet Grill (as shown in Figure 3), or
alternatively for easier access the outlet Grill may be removed and the
fixing screws accessed more directly through the holes in the deflector
baffle as shown in Figure 4.

Figure 3

NOTE: See Page 21 for gas line entry point dimensions.

WARNING

Connecting directly to a unregulated propane tank
may cause an explosion.

IMPORTANT

Hold heater regulator with a wrench to prevent move­ment when connecting to inlet piping.

A qualified gas appliance installer must connect the gas room heater to
the gas supply. Consult all local codes.

The installer must provide an ANSI approved manual shut off valve, flex
connector and 3/8” NPT fitting. A flex gas line kit with shut-off valve is
available (see Page 18 for ordering information).

Route gas line using techniques and materials prescribed by local and/
or national codes. Only use pipe of 1/2” or greater diameter to allow full
gas volume to the gas fireplace. Undue pressure loss will occur if the
pipe is too small.

An external regulator must be used on all propane (L.P.G.) heaters, in
addition to the regulator fitted to the heater, to reduce the supply tank
pressure to 13” w.c. (maximum).

Figure 4

CHECKING THE BURNER

There are no imitation fuel bed components, such as logs or rocks,
to install. The appliance features a ribbon burner which is designed to
produce a continuous band of flame over its length. The burner should
be visually inspected to ensure it is free from any foreign matter. If it is
necessary to clean or dust off the burner then the glass door should be
removed by removal of the four retaining screws. Re-fit the glass door
after cleaning or inspection, ensuring a good seal.

CHECKING THE GAS CONNECTIONS

WARNING

Never use an open flame to check for leaks.

Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks using a gas leak test
solution (also referred to as bubble leak solution).

NOTE: Using a soapy water solution (50% dish soap, 50% water)
is an effective leak test solution, but it is not recommended,
because the soap residue that is left on the pipes/fittings can
result in corrosion over time.

A. Light the appliance (refer to the lighting instructions label in

the con trol compartment or on Page 16).

B. Brush all joints and connections with the gas leak test

solution to check for leaks. If bubbles are formed, or gas
odor is detected, turn the gas control knob (off/pilot/on)
to the ”OFF” position. Either tighten or refasten the leaking
connection, then retest as described above.

C. When the gas lines are tested and leak free, be sure to rinse

off the leak testing solution.

D. Observe the individual tongues of flame on the burner. Make

sure all ports are open and producing flame evenly across the
burner. If any ports are blocked, or partially blocked, clean out
the ports.

GAS PRESSURE CHECK

Connect the pressure gauge.

Turn on the gas supply and light the heater. Turn the control to the high
flame setting and check the pressure.

Figure 7

The pressure regulator on manual models is preset and locked to avoid
tampering. If the pressure is not as specified in Table 1 on Page 3,
replace the regulator with P/N H6063 for Natural Gas units and H7001
for Propane Gas units.

Replace the test point screw ensuring no gas leaks.

The heater regulator controls the burner pressure which should be
checked at the pressure test point located on the appliance inlet pipe.
The appliance inlet pipe runs between the regulator and the gas valve
and the test point is located next to the regulator.

The test point is situated before the appliance gas valve so it will be
necessary to turn off the gas supply before removing the test point
screw (Figure 6).

SPARK GAP

The gap between the spark electrode and the pilot should be 1/8” to
3/16” to produce a good spark. There should be no need to adjust this
(DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST THE GAP). If under any circumstances
the piezo electric spark fails, the pilot cannot be lit manually.

Adjustment to the
pilot is Not allowed

gas supply, or the thermocouple needs replacement. Modifications are
dangerous and can have a serious unseen effect on safety and therefore
MUST not be done. Replacements must be origi nal manufacturers parts.
Re-assemble in the reverse of removal. Ensure setting pressures are as
stated in Table 1 on Page 7.

CATALYSTS

WARNING

Do not block the catalysts or the appliance outlet grill.
Blockage may cause high carbon monoxide levels
and/or breakage of the glass facia panel.

WARNING

Do not operate the appliance with the catalyst units
removed.

It is recommended that the catalysts are inspected for signs of damage
and dirt during routine servicing procedures. The expected life of the
catalysts is in excess of 11,000 hours (10 years of normal use). After
this time the catalyst should be replaced.

If there are any deposits of dirt or soot on the catalysts they should be
clean ed with a soft brush and a vacuum cleaner. If removed for cleaning
ensure the seals are in good condition before replacing the catalyst. New
seals will usually be required.

The performance of the catalyst may be checked using a combustion
gas analyzer as follows.

TESTING FOR FIREBOX LEAKAGE

Appliances that are several years old or have been extensively disman tled
should be checked for soundness. It is important that all the prod ucts
of combustion pass through the catalytic convertors at the top of the
firebox before leaving the appliance.

The firebox is heated by lighting for a few minutes to provide a flow
through the firebox. The burner is then shut off and a smoke pellet or
match introduced at the base of the fire underneath the burner tray. Large
quantities of smoke will emerge from the top of the appliance, but none
should emerge from the joints or gasket faces, especially around the
door. It is important to note that the appliance can never be expect ed
to be 100% smoke tight and small quantities of smoke may be seen in
corners of joints and gasket faces etc without affecting safety when the
appliance is in operation.

CLEANING

WARNING

Turn off the unvented gas room heater and allow to
cool before cleaning.

Important: The temperature of the gases emitted by the catalytic
converters reach very high temperatures (up to 700° F). Measuring
gas of this temperature may damage some types of gas analyzers. If
in doubt consult the equipment manufacturer.

Turn on the fireplace as per the operating instructions, and run at
maximum setting for 15 minutes. Position gas sample probe directly
over a cata lyst via the outlet Grill, on top of the appliance. Record the
carbon diox ide (CO
concentration as displayed by the analyzer - also noting the units in
which the values are expressed. Most analyzers display carbon dioxide
(CO

2) concentrations in percentage (%) terms and carbon monoxide

concentration in parts per million (ppm) terms.

In order to calculate the combustion ratio for the appliance (CO/CO
it is first necessary to express both gas concentrations in terms of per­centage. To convert from parts per million (ppm) to a percentage (%)
divide the ppm figure by 10,000. Examples: 35ppm = 0.0035%, 15ppm
= 0.0015%, 5ppm = 0.0005%.

Now divide the concentration of carbon monoxide (CO) expressed in
percent by the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO
appliance combustion ratio.
CO (%)
CO

The combustion ratio of the gasses emitted by the catalytic convertor
should not exceed 0.0015.

If replacing, firstly, remove the decorative fire frame as described in the
Fitting The Glass Facia section. The catalysts are located on the top of
the internal firebox and can be removed be unscrewing the retaining
nuts securing the clamping plate. Remove the catalysts and the seals
and discard.

PROBLEM CORRECTIVE ACTION

Igniter sparks but pilot does not light • No gas to Pilot, check the gas line connections.

• Air not fully purged. Purge supply or wait longer.

• Spark grounding to metal work, reset gap correctly.

• Blocked pilot, clean out internally.

Pilot lights but then goes out

Igniter electrode at pilot does not spark • HT lead detached,refit.

The burner stays on for a period of time,
then cuts off

Pilot flame shrinks when fire is on high • Poor gas flow to fire, check pressure with fire on high.

Fireplace smells when first lit or in use • Newness smell from brand new appliance.

Severe restriction in gas supply: clear obstruction.

•

Faulty thermocouple, replace pilot assembly.

•

• Blocked pilot, clean out.

• Blocked lint gauze, clean.

Hold control knob in for longer.

•

• If the pilot will not stay lit there is a problem with dirt, the gas supply, or

the thermocouple needs replacement. Modifications are dangerous and
can have a serious unseen effect on safety. NEVER MODIFY OR BEND THE
THERMOCOUPLE TO MAKE THE PILOT STAY LIT.

There is a draft (i.e. from window or door, etc.) disturbing the pilot. Remove

•
draft. u

• The ODS safety system may sense lack of oxygen. Turn off appliance. Call a
qualified service technician. Open windows and doors to provide ventilation to
the area. v

• Check the spark gap (see Spark Gap section).

• Faulty piezo unit, replace.

• Debris shorting out electrode, clean.

• Loose or faulty thermocouple, rectify.

• Blocked pilot, clean out.

• Dirt or lint in pilot aeration hole or on the lint gauze, clean thoroughly.

• If the pilot will not stay lit there is a problem with dirt, the gas supply, or
the thermocouple needs replacement. Modifications are dangerous and
can have a serious unseen effect on safety. NEVER MODIFY OR BEND THE
THERMOCOUPLE TO MAKE THE PILOT STAY LIT.

• If pressure is low, remove any restriction in pipe-work or valve.

• Check all pipework are adequately sized.

• Check meter pressure is adequate.

• If the pilot will not stay lit there is a problem with dirt, the gas supply, or
the thermocouple needs replacement. Modifications are dangerous and
can have a serious unseen effect on safety. NEVER MODIFY OR BEND THE

THERMOCOUPLE TO MAKE THE PILOT STAY LIT.

• Leakage occurring. Carry out leakage test and rectify any problems.

• Combustible materials used in incorrect positions.

• Unit may require a service to remove dust from catalysts.

u This appliance is equipped with a oxygen depletion monitoring safety device (ODS). If the appliance shuts down during use for no

apparent reason then several reasons may be suspected. If a door or window has been opened creating a draft, then pilot disturbance could
be the problem and removal of the draft should resolve this.

v If pilot disturbance is not the cause, then the ODS safety system sensing that there is a lack of oxygen. TURN THE APPLIANCE OFF,

call in your installer to check the appliance and ventilation. DO NOT allow the appliance to be used until the qualified service technician has
determined that the appliance is operating properly and adequate ventilation is being provided.
