AIR FOR COMBUSTION
AND VENTILATION
WARNING: This firebox 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.
Todayʼs homes are built more energy efficient
than ever. New materials, increased insulation and
new construction methods help reduce heat loss
in homes. Home owners weather strip and caulk
around windows and doors to keep the cold air out
and the warm air in. During heating months, home
owners want their homes as airtight as possible.
While it is good to make your home energy efficient, your home needs to breathe. Fresh air must
enter your home. All fuel-burning appliances need
fresh air for proper combustion and ventilation.
Exhaust fans, fireboxes, clothes dryers and fuel
burning appliances draw air from the house to
operate. You must provide adequate fresh air for
these appliances. This will insure proper venting
of vented fuel-burning appliances.
PROVIDING ADEQUATE
VENTILATION
The following are excerpts from National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, 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
Unusually T
ight Construction
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 out-
side atmosphere have a continuous
water vapor retarder with a rating of
one perm (6 x 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 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.
If your home meets all of the three criteria
above, you must provide additional fresh
air. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors,
page 8.
If your home does not meet all of the three
criteria above, proceed to Determining
Fresh-Air Flow for Heater Location, page 7.
Confined and Unconfined Space
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA
54 defines a confined space as a space whose
volume is 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 and
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.
* Adjoining rooms are communicating only if
there are doorless passageways or ventilation grills
between them.
The information
you classify your space and provide adequate
ventilation.
on pages 8 through 13 will help

DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW
FOR HEATER LOCATION
Determining if You Have a Confined or
Unconfined Space
Use this work sheet 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 x
width x height).
Length x Width x Height =__________cu. ft.
(volume of space)
E
xample: Space size 22 ft. (length) x 18 ft.
(width) x 8 ft. (ceiling height) = 3168 cu. 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. Multiply the space volume by 20 to determine
the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support.
__________ (volume of space) x 20 = (Maxi-
mum Btu/Hr the space can support)
Example: 3168 cu. ft. (volume of space) x 20 =
63,360 (maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)
3. Add the Btu/Hr of all fuel burning appliances in
the space.
Vent-free fireplace ___________ Btu/Hr
Gas water heater* ___________ Btu/Hr
Gas furnace ___________ Btu/Hr
Vented gas heater ___________ Btu/Hr
Gas fireplace logs ___________ Btu/Hr
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.
Example:
Gas water heater __________ Btu/Hr
Vent-free fireplace + ________ Btu/Hr
Total = ________ Btu/Hr
40,000
39,000
79,000
4. Compare the maximum Btu/Hr the space can
support with the actual amount of Btu/Hr used.
_________
_________
Example: 63,360 Btu/Hr (maximum the space
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 adjoin-
ing 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, page 8.
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventila-
tion Air From Outdoors, page 8.
C. Install a lower Btu/Hr fireplace, if lower Btu/Hr
size makes room unconfined.
Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support)
Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used)
can support)
79,000 Btu/Hr (actual amount of
Btu/Hr used)
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.
W A R N I N G : 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,
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the
International Fuel Gas
Code, or
applicable local codes.

VENTILATION AIR
Ventilation Air From Inside Building
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 1). You
can also remove door into adjoining room (see
option 3, Figure 1). Follow the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Section 5.3, Air for
Combustion and Ventilation for required size of
ventilation grills or ducts.
AIR FOR COMBUSTION
AND VENTILATION

We recommend that you install a sediment trap in
supply line as shown in Figure 6, page 12. Locate
sediment trap where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply
and fireplace. Locate sediment trap where trapped
matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps
moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from
going into fireplace gas controls. If sediment trap
is not installed or is installed wrong, fireplace may
not run properly.
CONNECTING FIREPLACE TO GAS
SUPPLY
1. Remove access panel.
2. Route gas line (provided by installer) from
equipment shutoff valve to fireplace. Route
flexible gas supply line through one of the
access holes.
3. Attach the flexible gas line to gas supply as
p
er Figure 7. Check tightness of flexible gas
line attached to gas regulator of fireplace and
check all gas connections for leaks ( see
Checking Gas Connections, page 16).
1. Check gas type. The gas supply must be the same as
stated on the appliance’s rating decal. If the gas supply
is different from the replace, STOP! Do not install the
appliance. Contact your dealer immediately.
2. To ease installation, a 30" (mm) ex line with manual
shut-off valve has been provided with on this appliance.
Install and attach
1
/2" gas line onto shut-off valve.
Do not use open flame to check for gas leaks.

PILOT FLAME PATTERN
.
MAIN BURNER
Periodically inspect all burner flame holes with the
heater running.
Some burner flame holes may become blocked
by debris or rust, with no flame present. If so, turn
off heater and let cool. Remove blockage. Blocked
burner flame holes may create soot.
FRONT BURNER FLAME PATTERN
• turn fireplace off (see To Turn Off Gas to Ap-
pliance).
Figure 17 shows a correct pilot flame
pattern. Figure 18 shows an incorrect
pilot flame pattern.
The incorrect pilot flame is not touching the
flame sensor. This will cause the flame sensor
to
cool. When the flame sensor cools, the
fireplace will shut down.

CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: You must keep
control areas, burner and circulating air passageways of
fireplace clean. Inspect these
areas of fireplace before each
use. Have fireplace inspected
yearly by a qualified service
person. Fireplace may need
more frequent cleaning due to
excessive lint from carpeting,
bedding material, pet hair, etc.
WARNING: Failure to keep
the primary air opening of the
burner clean may result in soot-
ing and property damage.
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 donʼt 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.
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.
WARNING: Turn off fireplace
and let cool before cleaning.
Clean the pilot assembly also. A yellow tip on the
pilot flame indicates dust and dirt in the pilot assembly
two inches from where the pilot flame comes out
of the pilot
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.
. There is a small pilot air inlet hole about
assembly

(see
2. Inspect burner, pilot and primary air inlet
holes on injector holder for dust and dirt (see
Figure 21).
