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, NFPA54/ ANSZ223.1.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 4 through 6 will help you classify your space and provide adequate ventilation.

Confined and Unconfined Space

The National Fuel Gas Code, ANS 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 m

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 m

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*, and 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 LOCA TION

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)

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

Continued

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 openable windows and doors

and c) caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as joints around win dow 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 5. If your home does not meet all of the three criteria above, proceed to

Determining Fresh-Air Flow For Heater Location, below.

Page 5

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

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, ANS 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 54/ANS Z223.1. Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation for required 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 54/ANS 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.

NOTICE: This heater is intended for use as supplemental heat. Use this heater along with your primary heating system. Do not install this heater as your primary heat source. If you have a central heating system, you may run the system's circulating blower while using heater. This will help circulate the heat throughout the house . In the event of a power outage, you can use this heater as your primary heat source.

INSTALLATION

WARNING: A qualified service person must install heater. Follow all local codes.

WARNING: Never install the heater

 in a bedroom or bathroom  in a recreational vehicle

 where curtains, furniture, clothing,

or other flammable objects are less than 42 inches from the front, top, or sides of the heater.

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 4 through 5.

CHECK GAS TYPE FOR SL280TY A use propane/LP gas FOR SN280TY A use Natural gas.

Call dealer where you bought heater for proper type heater.

Figure 4 -Minimum Clearance to Wall

WATER VAPOR:A BY-PRODUCT OF UNVENTED ROOM HEATERS

Water vapor: a by-product of gas combustion.An unvented room heater productes approximately one(1) ounce (30ml) of water for every 1,000BTU’s (.3KW’s) of gas input per hour. Unvented room heaters are recommended as supplemental heat (a room) rather than a primary heat source (an entire house),in most supplemental heat appllcation, the water vapor does not create a problem, in most applications, the water vapor enhances the low humidity atmosphere experience during cold weather.

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 dehumldifier 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.

CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES (Vent-Free Operation Only)

Carefully follow the instructions below. This stove is a freestanding unit designed to set directly on the floor.

IMPORTANT: You must maintain minimum wall and ceiling clearances during installation. The minimum clearances are shown in Figure 4. Measure from outermost point of stove top.

Minimum Wall and Ceiling Clearances

(see Figure 4) A. Clearances from outermost point

of stove top to any combustible side wall should not be less than 12 inches.

B. Clearances from outermost point of

stove top to any combustible back wall should not be less than 6 inches (lncludes corner installations).

C. Clearances from the stove top to

the ceiling should not be less than 48 inches.

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 propane/LP supply. This heater requires an external regulator (not supplied). lnstall the external regulator between the heater and propane/LP supply.

INSTALLATION ITEMS NEEDED

Before installing heater, make sure you have the items listed below.

 piping (check local codes)  sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)  equipment shutoff valve*  test gauge connection*  sediment trap  see joint  pipe wrench  flexible gas hose.(check local codes)

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

FOR LP models

The installer must supply an external regulator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 1 1 to 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, page 13. * Minimum inlet pressure for purpose of input adjustment.

Propane/LP Supply T ank

FOR NG models: (4” W.C.-10.5”W.C.) No External Regulator Needed

purchase

NG MODELS: 5” to 10.5” W.C. Gas supplier provides external regulator for natural gas.

Page 8

WARNING: Never connect heater to private (non-utility) gas wells. This gas is commonly known as wellhead gas.

CAUTION: Use only new, black iron or steel pipe. Internally-tinned copper tubing may be used in certain areas. Check your local

codes. Use pipe of 1/2

" diameter or

greater to allow proper gas volume to heater. If pipe is too small, 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 liquid petroleum(LP) gas.

We recommend that you install a sediment trap in supply line as shown in Figure 7. Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in 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 wrong, heater may not run properly.

CAUTION: To avoid damage to regulator, hold gas regulator with a wrench when connecting into gas piping and/or fittings.

WARNING: Never use an open flame to check for a leak. Apply a mixture of liquid soap and water to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.

CAUTION: Make sure external regulator has been installed between propane/LP supply and heater. See guidelines under Connecting to Gas Supply, page 7.

Figure 8 -Equipment Shutoff Valve

Pressure Testing Gas Supply Piping System Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG(3.5kPa)

1. Disconnect heater with its appliance main gas valve (control valve) and equipment shutoff valve from gas supply piping system. Pressures in excess of 1/2 psig will damage heater regulator.

2. Cap off open end of gas pipe where equipment shutoff valve was connected.

3. Pressurize supply piping system by either using compressed air or opening propane/LP supply valve.

4. Check all joints of gas supply piping system. Apply mixture of liquid soap and water to gas joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.

thermostat control knob can be set to any comfort level between HI and LO. The thermostat will gradually modulate the heat output and flame height from higher to lower settings, or pilot in order to maintain the comfort level you select. The ideal comfort setting will vary by household depending upon the amount of space to be heated, the output of the central heating system, etc. Note: Selecting the Hi setting with the control knob will cause the burners to remain fully on, without modulating down in most cases.

MANUAL LIGHTING PROCEDURE

1. Follow steps 1 through 5 under Lighting Instructions.

2. Depress control knob and light pilot with match.

3. Keep control knob pressed in for 30 seconds after lighting pilot. After 30 seconds, release control knob. Now follow step 8 in column 2.

INSPECTING BURNERS

Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame patterns often.

PILOT FLAME PATTERN

Figure 20 shows a correct pilot flame pattern. Figure 21 shows an incorrect pilot flame pattern. The incorrect pilot flame is not touching the thermocouple.This will cause the thermocouple to cool. When the thermocouple cools, the heater will shut down. If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 21:  turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 11)  see Troubleshooting, pages 14 through 16

Figure 20 -Correct Pilot Flame Pattern

Figure 22 shows a correct burner flame pattern. Figure 23 shows an incorrect burner flame pattern. If burner flame pattern is incorrect:  turn heater off (see To Turn

CLEANING BURNER INJECTOR HOLDER AND PILOT AIR INLET HOLE

The primary air inlet holes allow the proper amount of air to mix with the gas. This provides a clean burning flame. Keep these holes clear of dust, dirt, lint, and pet hair. Clean these air inlet holes prior to each heating season. Blocked air holes will create soot. We recommend that you clean the unit every three months during operation and have heater inspected yearly by a qualified service person. We also recommend that you keep the burner tube and pilot assembly clean and free of dust and dirt. To clean these parts we recommend using compressed air no greater than 30 PSI. Your local computer store, hardware store, or home center may carry compressed air in a can. You 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 assembly.

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 24).

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 pet hair with a soft cloth or vacuum cleaner nozzle.

5. Blow air into the primary air holes on the injector holder.

6. In case any large clumps of dust have now been pushed into the burner repeat steps 3 and 4.

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 person. Heater may need more frequent cleaning due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, pet hair, etc.

Figure 24 -Injector Holder on Outlet Burner Tube

Page 13

Clean the pilot assembly also. A yellow tip on the pilot flame indicates dust and dirt in the pilot assembly. There is a small pilot air inlet hole about two inches from where the pilot flame comes out of the pilot assembly (see Figure 25). With the unit off, lightly blow air through the air inlet hole. You may blow through a drinking straw if compressed air is not available.

Air Passageways  Use a vacuum cleaner or pressurized air to clean. Exterior  Use a soft cloth dampened 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

9, 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 heater running. All slotted burner flame holes should be open with yellow flame present. All round burner flame holes should be open with a small blue flame present. Some burner 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. Review your video included with your heater for additional cleaning instructions.
