WATER VAPOR IS A BY-PRODUCT OF UNVENTED ROOM HEATERS
Gas combustion creates water vapor as a by-product. Unvented room heaters create about one (1) ounce (30
ml) of water for every 1,000 BTUs (0.3 kW) of gas input per hour. An unvented room heater is recommended
as a supplemental heat source for a single room rather than as a primary heat source for an entire house. The
water vapor does not typically create a problem. In most cases, the water vapor enhances the low humidity
conditions that are typical of cold weather.
Keep these points in mind so that the water vapor does not create a problem:
• The heater must be the proper size for the application. Provide adequate combustion air and circulation air.
• In humid environments, use a dehumidier to help lower the amount of water vapor in the air.
• Do not use an unvented room heater as your primary heat source.
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
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, ANS Z223.1/NFPA 54, the International Fuel Gas Code, or applicable local codes.
PRODUCING ADEQUATE VENTILATION
Spaces in homes can be divided into these ventilation classications:
• Unusually Tight Construction
• Unconned Space
• Conned Space
The information on pages 7–9 will help you classify your space and provide adequate ventilation.
Conned and Unconned Space:
A conned space has a volume less than 50 cu. ft. per 1,000 BTU/hr (4.8 m3 per kW) of the total input rating
of all appliances installed in that space. An unconned space has a volume not less than 50 cu. ft. per 1,000
BTU/hr (4.8 m3 per kW) of the total input rating of all appliances installed in that space. Rooms that are
directly connected to the space in which the appliances are installed*, through openings that do not have
doors, are considered a part of the unconned space.
Do not install this heater in a conned space or unusually tight construction unless you provide provisions
for adequate combustion and ventilation air.
*Adjoining rooms are directly connected only if there are doorless passageways or ventilation grills between them.
Unusually Tight Construction:
Doors and windows may leak air that provides enough fresh air for combustion and ventilation. However,
you must provide additional fresh air in buildings of unusually tight construction. Unusually tight
construction is dened as construction that meets the following criteria:
A. Walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a
rating of one perm (6x10-11kg per pa-sec-m2) or less with openings that are gasketed or sealed.
B. Doors and windows that can be opened have weather stripping.
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.
If your residence meets all the above criteria, additional fresh air must be provided. See VENTILATION AIR
FROM OUTDOORS on page 9 for more information. If your residence does not meet those three criteria,
continue to DETERMINING FRESHAIR FLOW FOR THE HEATER LOCATION.
DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR THE HEATER LOCATION
Determining if You Have a Conned or Unconned Space:
Use the below information to determine if you have a conned or unconned space. Your space includes the
room in which you will install the heater plus any other rooms that are directly connected and have doorless
passageways or ventilation grills between the rooms.
1. Determine the volume of the space. Length × Width × Height = cu. ft. (volume of space)
• Example: 20 ft. (length) × 16 ft. (width) × 8 ft. (ceiling height) = 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space)
If additional ventilation to adjoining room(s) is supplied with grills or openings, add the volume of these
rooms to the total volume of your space.
2. Divide the space’s volume by 50 cu. ft. 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)
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 Example:
Gas heater logs __________BTU/hr Gas water heater 30,000 BTU/hr
Other gas appliances*+ ____BTU/hr Vent-free heater + 26,000 BTU/hr
Total = ____BTU/hr Total = 56,000 BTU/hr
*Do not include direct-vent gas appliances. Direct-vent appliances draw combustion air from outdoors
and vent 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 conned 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. Add the space of an adjoining room and rework the above information. If the extra space creates an
unconned space, remove the door to the adjoining room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See
VENTILATION AIR FROM INSIDE A BUILDING, page 9.
B. Vent the room directly to the outdoors. See VENTILATION AIR FROM OUTDOORS, page 9.
C. Install a heater that uses less BTUs/hr if the lower BTUs/hr creates an unconned space. If the actual BTU/
hr used is less than the maximum BTU/hr the space can support, the space is an unconned space. In this
case, no additional fresh air ventilation is needed.
If the area in where the heater operates does not meet the required volume for
indoor combustion air, you must provide combustion and ventilation air by one of the
methods described in the NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the INTERNATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE, or applicable local codes.
VENTILATION AIR FROM INSIDE A BUILDING
Fresh air comes from a connected unconned space.
You must provide two permanent openings when
ventilating to a connected unconned space, one of
which that’s within 12" of the wall that connects the
two spaces (see options 1 and 2, Fig. 1). You may also
remove the door into the adjoining room (see option 3,
Fig. 1). Follow the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANS
Z223.1 for the required size of ventilation grills or ducts.
VENTILATION AIR FROM OUTDOORS
Extra fresh air is provided via ventilation grills or
ducts. You must provide two permanent openings:
one within 12" of the ceiling and one within 12" of the
oor. They must connect directly to the outdoors or
spaces that open to the outdoors. Such spaces may
include attics or crawl spaces. Follow the National
Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANS Z223.1 for the required
size of ventilation grills or ducts.

IMPORTANT: Do not provide openings for inlet or
outlet air into an attic if the attic has a thermostatcontrolled power vent. The power vent will be
activated by heated air that enters the attic. You must
add the space of the connected unconned space
and rework the information on page 8. The combined
spaces must have enough fresh air to supply all
appliances in both spaces.
NOTICE: This heater is intended to be used as a supplemental heating source. Use this heater along with
your primary heating system. This heater must not be used as a primary heat source. If you have a central
heating system, you may run that system’s circulating blower while using this heater. This helps to circulate
the heat around your house.
A qualied technician must install the heater. Follow all local codes.
Never install the heater in a bedroom or bathroom; in a recreational vehicle; where
curtains, furniture, clothing, or other ammable objects are less than 42" from the
front, top, or sides of the heater; in high trac areas; or in windy or drafty areas.
Any glass doors must be fully opened when you are operating the heater.
Before installing in a solid fuel-burning replace, the chimney ue and rebox must be
cleaned of soot, creosote, ashes, and loose paint by a qualied chimney cleaner.
Do not allow fans to blow directly into the replace. Avoid any drafts that alter burner
ame patterns.
Do not use a blower insert, heat exchanger insert, or other accessory not approved for
use with this heater.
This appliance is for installation only in a solid fuel- burning or UL 127 factory-built
replace or in a listed ventless rebox enclosure. It has been design certied for these
installations. Exception: DO NOT install this appliance in a factory-built replace that includes instructions
stating it has not been tested or should not be used with unvented gas logs.
Do not burn solid fuels in your replace when this heater is also installed.
Outside air ducts and/or ash dumps in the replace must be permanently closed when
this heater is installed.
This heater creates warm air currents. These currents move heat to wall surfaces that
are next to the heater. Installing the heater next to vinyl or cloth wall coverings, or
operating the appliance where impurities in the air exist (tobacco smoke, aromatic candles, cleaning uids,
oil or kerosene lamps, etc.), may cause walls to discolor.
IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters add moisture to the air, which is benecial. However, if this heater is installed
in areas without adequate ventilation, mildew may form from too much moisture in the air. See AIR FOR
COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION, pages 7 through 9.
CHECK GAS TYPE: Be sure your gas supply is right for your heater. If the supply is not correct, do not install
the heater. Contact the place where this heater was purchased for a heater appropriate for your gas supply.
NOTICE: State or local codes may only allow operation of this appliance in a vented conguration. Check
your state or local codes.

INSTALLING DAMPER CLAMP ACCESSORY FOR VENTED OPERATION
NOTE: When used as a vented heater, the heater must be installed only in a solid-fuel burning replace
with a working ue constructed of noncombustible material. You may use this heater as a vented product.
When used as a vented decorative appliance, use of the thermostat function is prohibited—operate
manually only. There are three reasons for operating your heater as a vented model:
1. The replace does not meet the clearance requirements for vent-free operation.
2. State or local codes do not permit vent-free operation.
Failure to position the parts in accordance with these diagrams or failure to use only parts
specically approved with this heater may result in property damage or personal injury.
Before beginning assembly or operation of this heater, ensure all parts are present. Check the parts against
the package contents list. If any part is missing or damaged, do not attempt to assemble, install, or operate
the heater. Contact customer service for replacement parts.
Estimated Assembly Time: 1 to 2 hours
Tools Required for Assembly (not included, unless otherwise stated):
Before installing the heater, ensure you have the following:
• Hardware package (included)
• Approved exible gas hose if allowed by local codes
• Sealant (resistant to natural or propane/LP gas)
• Electric drill with 3/16" drill bit
• Phillips screwdriver
• External regulator (supplied by installer if required)
• Piping (check local codes)
• Equipment shuto valve
• Test gauge connection
• Sediment trap
• Tee joint
• Pipe wrench
• 3/8" NPT to 3/8" are tting
UNPACKING
1. Remove logs, grate, and burner base assembly from carton.
NOTE: Do not pick up the burner base assembly by the burners. This could damage heater. Only handle the
base assembly by its frame.
2. Remove all protective packaging used on the logs and heater.
3. Inspect the items for shipping damage. If you notice any damage, contact the dealer where the heater
was purchased.
A qualied service technician must connect heater to gas supply. Follow all local codes.
Never connect the heater to private/non-utility gas wells (commonly known as
wellhead gas).
Never connect the heater directly to the gas supply. This heater requires an external
regulator (not supplied). The external regulator between the gas supply and heater
must be installed. Your gas supplier provides the external regulator for natural gas.
The installer must supply an external regulator for liquid propane. For natural gas, the gas supplier supplies
the external regulator. The external regulator reduces incoming gas pressure, and the pressure must be
reduced to between 11" and 14" of water column for propane and between 6" and 7" of water column for
natural gas. Heater regulator damage could occur if the pressure of the incoming gas is not reduced. Install
the external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Fig. 10. The purpose of pointing the vent
down is to protect it from freezing rain or sleet.

*The equipment shuto valve can be purchased from your local home center store.
Use only new black iron or steel pipe. Internally tinned copper tubing may be used
in certain areas, depending on your local codes. Use pipe of 1/2" diameter or greater
to allow proper volume gas to heater. If the pipe is too small, loss of pressure will occur. Installation must
include an equipment shuto valve, union, and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. The NPT tap must be located within
reach for the test gauge hook up and be upstream from heater (see Fig. 11).
IMPORTANT: Install equipment shuto valve in an accessible location. The equipment shuto valve is for
turning on or shutting o the gas to the heater. Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to the male threads. This
prevents excess sealant from going into the pipe. The heater valves may become clogged if excess sealant
gets into the pipes.
Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to gas (propane or NG). We recommend that you
install a sediment trap in a supply line, which traps moisture and contaminants. The
sediment trap should be located within reach for cleaning and where it is not likely to freeze. Install it in the
piping system between the fuel supply and heater. This keeps contaminants from getting into the heater
controls. The heater may not run properly if the sediment trap is not installed or is installed incorrectly.
Avoid damage to the regulator. Hold the gas regulator with a wrench when connecting
into gas piping and/or ttings. NG Models: 5" to 7" W.C. Your gas supplier provides an
external regulator for natural gas.

MULTI-FUNCTION WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM FOR OPERATING A LATCHING
SOLENOID VALVE, MANUALLY OR WITH A THERMOSTAT FUNCTION
IF YOU CANNOT READ OR UNDERSTAND THESE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS,
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL OR OPERATE THIS DEVICE.
This remote control system was developed to provide a convenient, user-friendly, and safe remote control
system for gas heating appliances. The system is operated manually from the transmitter and operates on
radio frequencies (RF) within a 20-foot range using non-directional signals. The system uses one of over
a million security codes that are programmed into the transmitter at the factory. Before the rst use, the
remote receiver’s code must be matched to the transmitter’s code.
NOTE: Review COMMUNICATION SAFETY under the GENERAL INFORMATION section. This safety feature
shuts down the appliance during potentially hazardous or unsafe conditions.
This remote control system provides you with a battery-operated remote control to power a latching solenoid
such as those used with gas valves in certain heater-rated gas logs, gas replaces, and other gas heating
appliances (see Fig. 33).
Using the battery power from the receiver, the solenoid
circuit operates a solenoid. The circuit uses reversing polarity
software to reverse the positive (+) and negative (-) output of
the receiver’s battery power, which drives a latching solenoid
ON/OFF. The system is controlled by the remote transmitter,
which operates on two (2) 1.5 V AAA batteries.
Always use alkaline batteries for longer battery life and
maximum performance. Do not use rechargeable batteries.
Before using the transmitter, place the two (2) AAA batteries
in the battery compartment. Ensure the batteries are placed in
the proper direction.

mode is o, the word “ROOM” does not appear on the LCD screen.
NOTE: The highest set temperature is 99° F
(32°C) and the lowest temperature is 45°F (6°C).
Notes on Operation:
The heater is operated by the thermo feature whenever the room temperature varies a certain number of degrees from
the set temperature. This variation is known as “temperature dierential” or “swing.” Based on how well your home is
insulated from the cold, the normal operating cycle of the heater may be 2–4 times per hour. The “swing” comes preset
from the factory at 2, which allows for a temperature variation of +/- 20°F (10°C) between the set temperature and the
room temperature. This determines when the heater will begin operation.
To activate the ON and OFF manual functions on the transmitter, press either button on the face of the transmitter.
When pressed, the word “ON” or “OF” appears on the LCD screen to indicate the signal is being sent. When rst used, a
delay of three seconds may occur before the receiver responds to the transmitter, which is normal.
Power Setting:
The electronics in the remote control system can power two types of DC-powered components. The receiver is
programmed to provide pulse DC voltage (5.5 VDC to 6.3 VDC) to a latching solenoid. If you experience any problems
when operating the remote control system, contact Pinnacle Climate Technologies’ customer service.
Remote Receiver:
IMPORTANT: Do not position the receiver where ambient
temperatures are greater than 130°F.
Fig. 38—Remote Receiver
The remote receiver (see Fig. 38) operates on four (4) 1.5V AA-size
batteries. Always use alkaline batteries for longer battery life and
maximum performance. Always use new/fully charged batteries for
proper operation of the remote receiver—the power consumption of a
latching solenoid is much higher than standard remote control systems.
Do not use rechargeable batteries.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Do not connect the remote receiver directly to 110–120VAC power because this
will burn out the receiver. Follow the instructions from the manufacturer of the
gas valve for the correct wiring procedures. Installing electrical components incorrectly may cause
damage to the remote receiver and/or gas valve.

NOTE: Up to 6.3 VDC of power is provided at the receiver terminal.
Built into the remote control’s software is a COMMUNICATION/SAFETY function. It provides an extra
margin of safety when the transmitter is out of the normal 20-foot operating range of the receiver. The
COMMUNICATION/SAFETY feature operates the same in all operating modes.
In all operating modes and at all times, the transmitter sends an RF signal every 15 minutes to the receiver.
This indicates that the transmitter is within the 20-foot normal operating range. If the receiver doesn’t
receive a signal from the transmitter every 15 minutes, the software in the receiver will begin a 2-hour
countdown timing procedure. If the receiver does not receive a signal from the transmitter in this time,
the receiver shuts down the heater. The receiver then emits a series beeps for 10 seconds. After these 10
seconds, the receiver continues to emit a single beep every four (4) seconds until either the ON or MODE
button on the transmitter is pressed, which resets the receiver. The 4-second beeping goes on for as long as
the receiver’s batteries last.
To reset the receiver and operate the heater, press the “ON” or “MODE” button on the transmitter. When
the system is turned on, the COMMUNICATION/SAFETY beeping stops and the system returns to normal
operation based on the MODE selected on the transmitter. The COMMUNICATION/SAFETY feature restarts if
the transmitter is taken out of the normal operating range or the transmitter’s batteries fail or are removed.
Childproof Feature:
The remote control includes a CHILDPROOF “LOCK-OUT” feature, letting the user “lock-out” operation of the
heater from the transmitter.
To use the “LOCK-OUT” feature, do the following:
• To activate the “LOCK-OUT” feature, press and hold the “ON” button and the “MODE” button at the same
time for ve (5) seconds. The letters “CP” display in the TEMP frame on the LCD screen.
• To deactivate the “LOCK-OUT,” press and hold the “ON” button and the “MODE” button at the same time
for ve (5) seconds and the letters “CP” disappear from the LCD screen. The transmitter then returns to
normal operation.
• To verify that transmitter is in the CP lock-out mode, press any key and the LCD screen shows “CP.”
NOTE: If the heater is already operating in the ON or THERMO MODES, activating the “LOCK-OUT” will not
cancel the operating MODE. Activating the “LOCK-OUT” only prevents the transmitter from being manually
operated. The THERMO operation will continue to operate normally if it is in the auto modes. The transmitter’s
MODE must be set to OFF to completely “LOCK-OUT” the transmitter’s operating signals.
Learning the Transmitter to the Receiver:
Every transmitter has a unique security code. Upon rst use, you must press the “LEARN” button on the receiver
to verify the transmitter security code. This process must be repeated if you replace the batteries or purchase a
replacement transmitter. To allow the transmitter to accept the security code, the slide button on the receiver
must be in the REMOTE position. If the slide switch is in the ON or OFF position, the receiver will not accept
the security code. The “LEARN” button in located on the front face of the receiver, inside the small hole labeled
“LEARN.” Press and release the black “LEARN” button inside the hole—a paper clip or small screwdriver works
best. When the “LEARN” button is released, the receiver emits a short beep. After you hear the beep, press
and release the transmitter “ANY” button. The receiver then emits several beeps to indicate acceptance of
transmitter’s code by the receiver.
The security code matching procedure uses a timing function. If the security code is not matched on the rst
attempt, wait 1–2 minutes and try again, which allows the timer to reset. Follow this procedure 2–3 times if
necessary.
You can hang the transmitter on a wall using the provided clip. If installing on
a solid wood wall, drill 1/8" pilot holes and use the provided screws. If installing
on a plaster/wallboard wall, rst drill two 1/4" holes into the wall. Then, with a
hammer, tap in the two plastic wall anchors so that they are ush with the wall.
Then install the clip with the provided screws.

little as 2.5 volts of battery power.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Any problems with the heater may be a result of the heater malfunctioning, or it may be due to the remote
system malfunctioning. First, review the manual to make sure all connections are properly made. Then check
the remote system in the following ways:
• Ensure the batteries are correctly placed in the receiver. If a battery is inserted incorrectly, the remote
system will not operate correctly.
• Check the battery in the transmitter to ensure the contacts are touching the positive (+) and negative (-)
ends of the battery. You can bend in the metal contacts for a tighter t.
• Be sure the receiver and transmitter are within a 20-foot range of one another.
• The receiver memory might be full if the “LEARN” button is pressed too many times. If this happens, the
receiver cannot learn any new codes and will not emit an audible beep. To clear the memory, rst put the
receiver slide switch into the REMOTE position. Press the “LEARN” button and release it after 10 seconds.
The receiver emits three (3) long audible beeps to indicate all the codes have been cleared from memory.
The transmitter can now once again be learned to the receiver. See page 29 for more information.
• Do not let the receiver exceed 130°F. Battery life is also shortened when ambient temperates are above 115°F.
• If the receiver is installed in such a way that it’s tightly enclosed in metal, the operating distance will be
shortened.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries—they do not supply enough power.

BURNER ORIFICE HOLDER AND PILOT AIR INLET HOLE
The primary air inlet holes allow the right amount of air to mix with the gas, which creates a clean burning
ame. Keep these holes clear of lint, dirt, dust, pet hair, and other debris. Before every heating season, clean
these holes—blocked air holes create soot. During operation, the heater should be cleaned at least every
three (3) months. A qualied service person should inspect the heater yearly.
Keep the burner tube and pilot assembly clean and free of dirt and other debris. Use compressed air of 30 PSI
or less to clean these parts. If using compressed air in a can, follow the directions on the can exactly. You may
damage the pilot assembly if the directions are not followed exactly.
FOR VENTED APPLICATIONS
Periodic examination and cleaning of the venting system and the solid fuel-burning replace, including
frequency of such examination and cleaning, must be done by a qualied agency.
1. Shut o the heater, including the pilot. Allow the heater to cool for at least 30 minutes.
2. Inspect the burner, pilot, and primary air inlet holes on the orice holder for dirt and debris (see Fig. 45).
3. Blow air through the ports/slots and holes in the burner.
4. Check the orice holder again, which is located at the end of the burner tube. With a cloth or vacuum
cleaner nozzle, remove any large particles of dust, dirt, or other debris.
5. Blow air into the primary air holes on the orice holder.
6. Repeat steps 3 and 4. Clumps of dust/debris may have been pushed into the burner.
Clean the pilot assembly. A yellow tip on the pilot ame indicates dust and dirt in the pilot assembly. A small
pilot air inlet hole is about 2" from where the pilot ame comes out of the pilot assembly (see Fig. 46). Ensure
the heater is o, and lightly blow air through the air inlet hole. If you do not have compressed air, blowing
through a drinking straw will also work.
