PROVIDE 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.
This heater must have fresh air for proper operation. If not,
•
poor fuel combustion could result. Read the following
instructions to insure proper fresh air for this and other fuel
burning appliances in your home.
Modern construction standards have resulted in homes that
are highly energy efficient and that allow little heat loss.
However, your home needs to breathe and all fuel burning
appliances need fresh air to function properly and safely.
Exhaust fans, clothes dryer, fireplaces and other fuel burning
appliances all use the air inside the building. If the available
fresh air supply is insufficient to meet the demands of these
appliances, problems can result.
Confined 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 1000 BTU per hour (4.8 m3 per kw) of the
aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space.
Unconfined Space:
An unconfined space is defined in the same standards as a
space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1000
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.
Example:
10,000 BTU Legacy heater should only be installed in a room
whose volume is more than 500 cubic feet. A room that is 8'
x 8' x 8' (512 cubic feet) would be acceptable for a Legacy
10,000 BTU/hour heater.

pipe compound to seal threaded joints.
An installer supplied,
regulator must be installed to bring the gas supply pressure
down to 14" w.c. for LP gas or 11" for natural gas.
WARNING: Never connect an unregulated gas line to the
heater.
IMPORTANT: Check gas line pressure before connecting heater
to gas line. Gas line pressure must not be higher higher than
14" w.c. for LP gas or 11" for natural gas.
NOTE: The gas line connection can be made with 3/8”black or
steel pipe. Internally tinned copper tubing may be used in certain areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of large enough
diameter to allow proper gas volume to heater. If pipe is too
small, undue pressure loss will occur.
CAUTION: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to liquefied
petroleum gases. Install sediment trap in supply as shown in
Figure 6.
Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for cleaning.

Maintenance
Repair should be done by a qualified service person.
The appliance should be inspected before use and at least
annually by a professional service person. More frequent
cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting,
bedding material, etc. It is imperative that control
compartments, burners and circulating air passageways of the
heater be kept clean. Dust, lint, cobwebs or debris may affect
heater performance. The heater draws air into it during normal
operation and in the process dust, lint or debris may be drawn
in also. It is important to keep the burner, gas control and
combustion and circulating air passageways clean. Inspect or
have these areas inspected annually at the beginning of the
heating season by a qualified service person. Depending on
the surroundings, the room heater may require frequent cleaning due to excessive lint or debris.
Before cleaning ensure the gas supply is off and the gas control knob is in the OFF position.
WARNING: Danger of bodily injury. If fan assembly accessory is used, turn off power supply at disconnect switch or
service panel before removing any access panels from
heater.
Make sure the hea
ter is cool.
BURNER AND ODS PILOT CLEANING
Clean the exterior with soft bristle brush, vacuum cleaner or
pressurized air. Never use a wooden toothpick as it may break
off and clog the ODS pilot or main burner port.
Use a flashlight to inspect the main burner inlet to ensure it is
not blocked. If obstruction can be seen, use a metal wire coat
hanger that has been straightened out. Use a vacuum cleaner
to clean the primary air openings to the main burner(s).
WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air openings to the
burner(s) clean may result in sooting and property damage.
In order to clean ODS pilot orifice, use pressurized air to blow
