Oxygen Depletion Sensing (ODS) safety
shutoff system. The ODS/pi lot is a required feature for vent-free room heaters.
The ODS/pilot shuts off the heater if there
is not enough fresh air.
State of Massachusetts: The installation
must be made by a licensed plumber or gas
fitter in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Sellers of unv ented propane or natural gas-fired
supplemental room heaters shall provide to
each pu rch aser a
copy of 527 CMR 30 upon sale of the unit.
In the state of Massachu setts, unvent ed propane or nature gas-fired space heaters shall

WATER VAPOR: A BY-PRODUCT OF UNVENTED ROOM HEATERS
Water vapor is a by-produ ct of gas combustion.An un vented
room heater productes approximately one (1) ounce (30ml)
of water for every 1,000 BTU’s (.3KW’s) of gas input per hour.
Unvented room heaters are recomm en ded as supplemental
heat (a r oom ) rather th an a pr imary heat sou rce (a n entire
house) .In most supplemental heat application, the water
vapor does not create a problem. In most applications, the
water vapor enhances the low humidity atmosphere
experience during co ld weather.
Figure1-Compact Vent-Free Fireplace
The following steps will help insure that water vapor does
not become a problem.
1. Be sure the heater is sized properly for the application,
including ample combusion air and circulation air.
2. If high humidity is experienced, a 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.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
WARNING: This heater shall
not be installed in a confined space
or unusually t ight constr uction
unless provisions are provided for
adequate combustion and ventilation air. Read the following instructions to insure proper fresh
air f or this and other fuel-burning
appliances in your home.
PROVIDING ADEQUATE
VENTILATION
The foll owing are excerpts from
National Fu el Gas Code, NFPA 54/
ANSI Z223 .1.Sect ion 5.3, Air f or
Combustion and Ventilation.
All spaces in homes fall into one
of t h e th ree f ol lowing v entilati on
classifications:
1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconfined Space
3. Confined Space
The information on pages 4 through
5 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 sp ace as
a space whose v olum e is l ess
than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per
3
hour (4.8 m
per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances
installed i n that space and an
unconf ini ng space as a space
whose volume is not less than 50
cubic feet per 1,000 Btu p er hour
3
(4.8 m
per kw) of th e aggr egat e
input r ating of all appliances installed in that space. Rooms communicating directly with the space
in which the appliances are
installed*, through openings not
furn ished with doors, are considered a p art of the un confi ned
space.
This heater shall not be installed
in a conf ined space or unusually
tight cons truction un less provisions
are pr ovided for ad equate combustion an d ventilation air.
* Adjoining rooms are communicating only if there are doorless
passageways or ventilat ion grills
betwee n them.
Unusually Tight Construction
The air that leaks around doors
and w indows may provide enou gh
fresh air for com bustion and
ventilation. However, in buildings of
unusually tight constr uction, you
must provide additional fresh air.
Unusua lly tight constr uction is
defined as cons tr uc tion wher e:
a) walls and ceilings exp osed to
the outside atmosphere have a
continuous water vapor retarder with
-11
a rating of one perm ( 6×10

c) caul ki ng or seal ant s are applied to areas such as joints around
window and door frames, between
sole plates and floors, between wallceiling join t s, be tween 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 Venti-
latio n Air From Outdoors, pa ge 5.
If your home does not meet all of the
three criteria above, proceed to

Example: Space size 20ft. (length)
If additional ventilation to adjoining roo m is supplied with grills or openings, add th e volume of these
rooms to th e tota l volume of th e sp ace.
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 c u. ft. (volume of space)

You must provide additional fresh air. Your options are as follows:
A. R ewo rk w o rksh eet, add ing th e sp ac e of an ad jo ining ro om . If the extra sp ac e pro vides an un co n fined
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 (bel ow) .
C. Install a lower Btu/Hr heater, if lower Btu/Hr size makes room uncon fined.
If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support, the space is an
uncon fined space. You will need no additional fresh air ventilation.
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 co nstruction, p rovide adequate combu stion and ventilation air by one of the
methods described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for Combustion and Ventilation, or

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Turn off heater and
let cool befo re cleaning.
CAUTION: You must keep
control areas, burner, and
circulating air passageways of
heater clean. Inspect these
areas of heater before each
use. Have heater inspected
yearly by a qualified service p erson .
Heater may need more
frequent cleaning due to
excessive lint from carpeting,
bedding material, pet hair, etc.
CLEANING ODS/I GNIT OR AND
BURNER
Clean with a vacuum c leaner.
CLEANING MAIN AIR INLET HOLE
W e recommend th at you clean the unit
every three months or after 2500 hours
of operation. We also recommend that
you keep th e bur ner t ub e and pilot assembly clean and free of d u st and
dirt. To clean th ese parts we recommend using compressed air no greater
than 30 PS I. Yo u can use a vacuum
cleaner in the blow position. 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 assem bly.
1. Shut off the unit, including the
pilot. Allow the 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 17).
3. Blow air through the
ports/slots and holes in the
burner.
4. Check the injector holder
located at the end of the
burner tube again. Remove
any large particles of dust, dirt,
lint, or p et h air w ith a soft clo th
or vacuum cleaner nozzle.
5. Blow air into the primary air
holes on the injector ho lder.
6. In case any large clumps of
dust have been pushed
into the burn er, repeat step s 3
and 4.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Continued
Clean the pilot assembly also. A
yellow tip on the pilot flame
indicates dust and dirt in the pilot
assemb ly. There is a small pilo t air
inlet hole about two inches from
where the pilot flame com es out of
the p ilot assemb ly (see F igure 1 8).
With the unit off, lightly blow air
through the air inlet hole. You m ay
blow through a drinking straw if
compressed air is not available.
CABINET
Air Pass agew ays
Use a vacuum clea ner or pressur-
ized
air to clean.
EXTERIOR
Use a soft cloth damp ened with a
mild soap and water mixture. Wipe
the cabinet to remove dust.
LOGS
If you remove logs for cleaning,
refer to Installing Logs, page
19, to properly replace logs.
Replace log(s) if broken or chipped
(dime-sized or larger).
MAIN BURNER
Periodically inspect all burner flame
holes with the healer running. All
slotted burner flame holes should
be open with yellow flame present.
All round burne r f l a me hol e s should
be open with a small blue flame
present. Some bur ner flame holes
may become blocked by debris or
rust, with no flame present. If so,
turn off heater and let cool. Either
remove blockage or replace burner.
Blocked burner flame holes will
create soot.
