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 complies with ANSI Z21.11. Unvented Heat­ers.
11. Do not install the heaters in a bathroom or bedroom.
.
3. Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room with the appliance.
4. Do not place clothing or other flammable material on or near the appliance.
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 quali­fied 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 materials, 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 flu 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.
12. Correct installation of the ceramic fiber logs, 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 fireplace. See log place­ment instructions for proper installation.
13. Avoid any drafts that alter burner flame patterns. Do not allow fans to blow directly into fireplace. Do not place a blower inside burn area of firebox. Ceiling fans may create drafts that alter burner flame patterns. Sooting and improper burning will occur.
14. Caution: Candles, incense, oil lamps, etc. produce com-
bustion byproducts including soot. Vent-free appliances will not filter or clean soot produced by these types of products. In addition, the smoke and/or aromatics (scents) may be reburnt in the vent-free appliance which can produce odors. It is recommended to minimize the use of candles, incense, etc. while the vent-free appli­ance is in operation.
15. This is an unvented gas-fired heater. It uses air (oxygen) from the room in which it is installed. Provisions for adequate combustion and ventilation air must be pro­vided. See page 9.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Continued from page 3
16. Keep room area clear and free from combustible materi­als, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
17. Unvented gas heaters are a supplemental zone heater. They are not intended to be the primary heating appliance.
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 appliance are treated with certain oils, films or bonding agents. These chemicals are not harmful but may produce annoying smoke and smells as they are burned off during the initial operation of the appliance; 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.
THIS APPLIANCE MAY BE INSTALLED IN AN AFTERMARKET, PERMANENTLY LOCATED, MANUFACTURED (MOBILE) HOME, WHERE NOT PROHIBITED BY LOCAL CODES.
THIS APPLIANCE IS ONLY FOR USE WITH THE TYPE OF GAS INDICA TED ON THE RATING PLATE. THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT CONVERTIBLE FOR USE WITH OTHER GASES.
We suggest that our gas hearth products be installed and serviced by professionals who are certifi ed in the U.S.by the National Fireplace Institute® (NFI) as Gas Specialists.
20. 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.
21. The appliance and its appliance 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 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
22. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its equipment shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

ADEQUATE 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 National Fuel Gas Code, (ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54), defines a confined space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU per hour (4.8 m an unconfined 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.
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 10
b) weather striping has been added on openable windows and doors, and

The following formula can be used to determine the maximum heater rating per the definition of unconfined space:
BTU/Hr =
(L1 + L2) Ft x (W) Ft x (H) Ft
x 1000
50
Consider two connecting rooms with an open area between, with the following dimensions:

BTU/Hr =
/2 Ft., L2 = 12 Ft., W = 12 Ft., H = 8 Ft.
(151/2 + 12) x (12) x (8)
x 1000 = 52800 BTU/Hr
50
If there were a door between the two rooms the calculation would be based only on the room with the heater.
BTU/Hr =
(151/2) x (12) x (8)
x 1000 = 29760 BTU/Hr

FLAME APPEARANCE
Flames from the pilot, front and rear burner should be visually checked as soon as the heater is installed.
In addition, periodically check the flames visually during operation.
CHECKING THE PILOT FLAME The pilot fl ame must always be present when the heater is in operation. It should just touch the top of the ther-
mocouple tip for natural. See Figure 31 for correct pilot flame.
If the pilot flame does not touch the thermocouple, then the main burner cannot function reliably. See Figure 32 for incor­rect shape of pilot flame.

CHECKING THE BURNER FLAME
In normal operation at full rate after 15 minutes, the following flame appearances should be observed:
Glowing Embers
Figure 33 - Correct Appearance of Rear Flames
Burner will have a random pattern of yellow flames as shown in Figure 33. There should be glowing embers on the front
burner. Note: The front ames and embers will be an opaque orange color during the burn off time.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Avoid any drafts that alter burner fl ame patterns. Do not allow fans to blow directly into the fireplace. Do not place
a blower inside the burn area of the firebox. Ceiling fans may create drafts that alter flame patterns. Sooting and improper burning will result.
During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various components of this appliance are treated with certain oils, films or bonding agents. These chemicals are not harmful, but may produce annoying smoke and smells as they are burned off during the initial operation of the appliance, possibly causing headaches or eye or lung irritation. This is a normal and temporary
occurrence.
The initial break-in operation should last six 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 will be slight and will disappear with continued use.
This appliance must not be used with glass doors in the closed position. This can lead to pilot outages and severe sooting outside the fireplace.
