The CFST and CFPF Series Unvented Room
Heaters covered in this manual feature ceramic
fiber split logs which glow realistically when the
heater is operating.
These heaters have a standing pilot and are
manually controlled through the use of a millivolt gas valve.
A spark ignition system (piezo) allows the heater
pilot gas to be lit without the use of matches or
batteries and permits operation of the heater
during a power outage.
These heaters are fitted with a specially designed pilot (ODS) which responds to the
amount of oxygen available in the room and
shuts the heater off before the oxygen level
drops below 18%. The pilot can be relit only
when fresh air is available. Refer to the Combustion and Ventilation Air section.
These heaters may also equipped with an
optional battery powered electronic Carbon
Monoxide Safety Shut-Off (COSS) specially
designed to respond to the amount of carbon
monoxide present in the room air. The carbon
monoxide detector will sound an alarm and
shut the appliances off within 30 minutes
when the amount of carbon monoxide present
in the air entering the unit rises above 100
ppm. Time to respond reduces to 15 minutes
maximum when carbon monoxide levels exceed 400 ppm.
The CFST and CFPF Series Unvented Room
Heaters are designed to be built into a framed
wall.
This heater has been tested to the standards of
ANSI Z21.11.2 unvented heaters.
Do not install these unvented room heaters in a
bedroom or bathroom as all units exceed maximum allowable BTU/Hr input of 10,000.

THE INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED IN THIS DOCUMENT WILL RESULT IN AN IMPROPERLY
INSTALLED AND OPERATING UNVENTED
ROOM HEATER, VOIDING ITS WARRANTY. ANY CHANGE TO THIS HEATER
AND/OR ITS OPERATING CONTROLS IS
DANGEROUS. IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR USE OF THIS HEATER CAN
CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH
FORM FIRE, BURNS, EXPLOSION OR
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING.
WARNING: THESE APPLIANCES ARE
DESIGNED TO OPERATE ON NATURAL
OR PROPANE GAS ONLY. THE USE OF
OTHER FUELS OR COMBINATION OF
FUELS WILL DEGRADE THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS SYSTEM AND MAY BE
DANGEROUS.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of
carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to the
flu with headaches, dizziness and/or nausea. If
you have these signs, obtain fresh air immediately. Turn off the gas supply to the heater and
have it serviced by a qualified professional, as
it may not be operating correctly.
• Due to high temperatures, the heater should
be located out of traffic and away from furniture
and draperies.
• Children and adults should be alerted to the
hazard of high surface temperatures and should
stay away to avoid burns or clothing ignition.
• Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room with the
heater.
• Do not place clothing or other flammable
material on or near the heater for the purpose of
drying.
• Installation and repair should be done by a
qualified service person. The heater 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 important that control compartments, burners
and circulating air passageways of the heater be
kept clean.
• Allow the heater to cool before servicing.
Always shut off any electricity or gas to the
heater while performing service work.
• Do not install these heaters in a bedroom or
bathroom.
• The installation must conform with local
codes or, in the absence of local codes with the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
• The heater and its individual shut-off valve
must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system while performing any tests of the
gas supply piping system at pressures in excess of ¹⁄₂ psig.
• The heater must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than ¹⁄₂ psig.
• Any safety screen or guard removed for
servicing the heater must be replaced prior to
operating the heater.
• Keep heater area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
• Do not use these appliances if any part has
been under water. Immediately call a qualified
professional service technician to inspect the
appliance and to replace any parts of the control
system and any gas control which have been
under water.
• Test gage connections are provided on the
front of the gas control valve (identified A for
the manifold side and E for inlet pressure).
• Operation of these catalytic systems at altitude will result in sporadic nuisance outages of
the pilot system due to lack of sufficient oxygen, increasing in frequency as the altitude
increases above 4,500 feet. Although this
situation is not dangerous, pilot outages cannot be tolerated.
• These catalytic appliances are rated for
use at altitudes no greater than 5,500 feet. Do
not install and use this appliance in locations
in excess of this altitude.
• Ensure that the heater is clean when operat-
ing. Excessive dust accumulation on the burner
and logs will increase the amount of carbon
monoxide formation and could lead to carbon
monoxide poisoning and death.
CODES
Adhere to all local codes or in their absence the
latest edition of The National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI Z223.1 or NFPA54 which can be obtained
from The American National Standards Institute, Inc. (1430 Broadway, New York, NY,
10018) or National Fire Protection Association,
Inc. (Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA, 02269).
NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATION NOT TO SCALE.
COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR
These heaters shall not be installed in a confined space. The heater may be located in
unusually tight construction provided the
space is unconfined, or if confined, is provided with two permanent openings communicating directly with an additional room(s)
of sufficient volume so that the combined
volume of all connected spaces meets the
criteria for an unconfined space, (National
Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 1992, Section
5.3). Generally 50 ft3 per 1,000 BTU input of
all operating appliances in the space.
The National Fuel Gas Code defines a confined space as a space whose volume is less
than 50 ft3 per 1,000 BTU/Hr (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 ft
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.
Unusually tight construction is defined as construction where:
a. wall and ceilings exposed to the outside
atmosphere have a continuous water vapor
retarder with a rating or one perm or less with
openings gasketed or sealed, and
b. weather stripping has been added on operable 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 wallceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines,
and at other openings.
Use the following equations to determine if you
have a confined or unconfined space.
1. Determine the volume of space — ft3.
3
per 1,000 BTU/Hr (4.8 m3 per kw)
Length x Width x Height = _____ ft
(Include adjoining rooms with doorless passageways or ventilation grills between
rooms.)
Example: 16' (L) x 16' (W) x 8' (H) = 2048 ft

2. Divide the volume of space by 50 ft3 to
determine the maximum BTU/Hr the space
can support.
______ (volume of space – ft
(Maximum BTU/Hr the space can support)
Example: 3072 ft3 / 50 ft3 = 40.96
or 40,960 BTU/Hr the space can support.
3. Add the BTU/Hr of all the fuel burning appli-
ances in the space.
Vent-Free heater _______ BTU/Hr
Gas appliance #1* _______ BTU/Hr
Gas appliance #2 + _______ BTU/Hr
Total = _______ BTU/Hr
Example:
CFST/PF heater 34,000 BTU/Hr
Gas appliance #1 32,000 BTU/Hr
(water heater)
Total = 66,000 BTU/Hr
* Do not include direct-vent gas appliances.
Direct-vent is sealed combustion and draws
combustion air from the outdoors.
4. Compare the maximum BTU/Hr the space
can support with the actual amount of BTU/
Hr used.
_________ BTU/Hr
(max. the space can support)
_________ BTU/Hr
(actual amount of BTU/Hr used)
Example:
40,960 BTU/Hr
(max. the space can support)
66,000 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.
3
)/ 50 ft3 =
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, ANSI Z223.1 1992, SECTION
5.3 OR APPLICABLE LOCAL CODES.
Your options are:
a.Rework equations adding the space of ad-
joining room(s). If the extra volume provides an unconfined space, then remove
door or add ventilation grills between rooms.
Refer to National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1
1992, Section 5.3.
b.Vent room directly to the outdoors. Refer to
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 1992,
Section 5.3.
If the actual BTU/Hr used is less than the
maximum BTU/Hr the space can support, then
the space is an unconfined space. You will
need no additional fresh air ventilation for an
unconfined space.
LOCATION OF FIREPLACE
Carefully select the best location for installation of your CF series Unvented Room Heater.
The following factors should be taken into
consideration:
• Clearance to side wall, ceiling, woodwork
and windows.
• Location must not be affected by drafts
caused by kitchen exhaust fans, return air
registers for forced air furnaces/air conditioners, windows or doors.
• Installation must provide adequate ventilation and combustion air.
• Do not install these series heaters in a
sleeping room or bathroom.
• Never obstruct the front opening of the
heater or restrict the flow of combustion and
ventilation air.
• This appliance may be installed in an aftermarket* manufactured (Mobile) Home, where
not prohibited by state or local codes.
*Aftermarket: Completion of sale, not for
purpose of resale, from the manufacturer.
• Minimize modifications to existing construction.
To ensure even heat distribution, it is best to
position the heater centrally within the rooms.
Make sure there is adequate ventilation where
the heater is installed. The gas appliance will
shut off if the oxygen level falls below 18%.
These appliances are uniquely suited for installations requiring a utility shelf positioned
directly above the fireplace. Utility shelves like
these are commonly used for locating television sets and decorative plants.
To provide for the lowest possible shelf surface, combustible materials used to support a
utility shelf directly above these appliances
should be positioned just above the appliance
top spacers. The minimum height from the
base of the appliance to the underside of
combustible materials used to construct a
utility shelf is 42 ³⁄₄” (1086 mm).
The appliance should be mounted on a fully
supported base extending the full width and
depth of the unit. The appliance may be located
on or near conventional construction materials.
However, if installed on combustible materials,
such as carpeting, vinyl tile, etc., a metal or
wood barrier covering the entire bottom surface must be used.
If the appliance is to be elevated above floor
level, a solid continuous platform must be
constructed.
WARNING: MAINTAIN MINIMUM CLEARANCES.
Do not install in the vicinity of gasoline or other
flammable liquids. The heater must be kept
clear and free from these combustible materials and may not be located near where they are
stored.

Step 8. Installing the Optional Forced Air
Blower Kit Wiring – An electrical outlet box is
provided for the installation of the FAB-1100
forced air blower kit (optional). Electrical power
must be provided to this box to operate the
blower.
Route a 3-wire, 120Vac power line with control switch to the lower right rear corner of the
appliance. Make connections to the receptacle
as shown in
Figure 14
.
IMPORTANT: Ground lead must be connected to the green screw on the receptacle. Failure to do so will prevent the
appliance from operating. The appliance
must be electrically grounded in accordance
with local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, the National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA 70- latest edition. (In Canada, the current CSA C22-1 Canadian Electrical Code.)
The forced air blower kit may be mounted at
initial appliance installation or at any time
thereafter. Follow the instructions provided
with the blower kit.
Finished Wall Details
It is sometimes best to frame the appliance
after it has been positioned in place. Frame with
2 x 4s or heavier lumber. Always frame in
accordance with local building codes.
Note: The header may rest on the top spacers
but must not be notched to fit around them.
In order to install the appliance facing flush with
the finished wall, position the framework to
accommodate the thickness of the finished wall
(
Refer to Figures 2, 4, 5, 7 and 8
).
If you live in a cold climate, seal all cracks
around your appliance with noncombustible
material and wherever cold air could enter the
room. It is especially important to insulate
outside chase cavity between studs and under
floor on which appliance rests, if floor is above
ground level.

the burner between the HI and LOW settings,
rotate the control knob, located in the center of
the valve front face, clockwise and counterclockwise respectively.
3. When lit for the first time, the appliance will
emit a slight odor for an hour or two. This is
due to the “burn-in” of the internal paints and
lubricants used in the manufacturing process.
Additionally, when lit for the first time, this
appliance may produce smoke, this is normal
and should be expected. For the first few
hours, operate the appliance with doors and
windows open to encourage the dissipation of
smoke and fumes.
4. Upon each lighting of the appliance, condensation may occur and fog the inside of the glass
panel. This condition will disappear shortly as
the appliance heats.
5. Keep lower control compartment clean by
vacuuming or brushing at least twice a year.
More frequent cleanings may be required due
to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding materials, etc. It is important that the control compartments, burners and circulating air passageways of the heater be kept clean.
6. Always turn off gas to pilot before cleaning.
Before relighting, refer to the lighting instructions in this manual. Instructions are also found
on a pull-out panel located on the floor of the
appliance.
7. Always keep the appliance area clear and free
from combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable liquids.
8. Remember, this appliance has a continuous

Catalytic Gas Fireplace
Manufacturer's Limited Warranty 10 Years
THE WARRANTY
The manufacturer warrants the components of this Catalytic Gas Fireplace manufactured by SFC, INC. (hereinafter, SFC) to be free from defects in
materials and workmanship at the time of manufacture.
REMEDY AND EXCLUSIONS
The coverage of this Warranty is limited to all components of the Catalytic Gas Fireplace manufactured by SFC. SFC warrants the components of this
factory-built system manufactured by SFC to be free from defects in material and workmanship at the time of manufacture.
1) During the first five years of this warranty, SFC will, at its option and except for the components listed in subparagraphs (a) through (e) below
provide replacement or repair components of the factory-built gas insert manufactured by SFC, at no charge, and will also pay for reasonable labor
costs incurred in replacing or repairing such components. If repair or replacement is not commercially practicable, SFC will, at its option, refund
the purchase price of the gas insert and chimney components and accessories. With respect to the components listed below, the remedies of this
paragraph (1) are available only for the period of time indicated. Thereafter, however, until the expiration of 10 years from the date of installation,
SFC will provide replacement parts at no charge but will not pay any labor costs. All replacement parts will be shipped F.O.B. factory.
(a) Gas logs, ember coals, brass-tone finishes, paint and fiber ceramic simulated brick side panels are not warranted with the exception of defects
in material or workmanship.
(b) Catalytic Gas Room Heater electrical components, such as fan motors and blowers, electrical cord and electrical switches – one year from the
date of installation.
(c) Gas components, such as gas valves, pilot assembly, igniter, micro door switch and CO Sensor kit – one year from the date of installation.
(d) Tempered glass – one year from the date of installation.
(e) Catalyst assembly – 2 years parts and labor, 3-5th. year, parts only from the date of installation.
This warranty covers only parts and labor as provided above. In no case shall SFC be responsible for materials, components, or construction which
are not manufactured or supplied by SFC, or for the labor necessary to install, repair or remove such materials, components or construction.
QUALIFICATIONS TO THE WARRANTY
The Catalytic Gas Room Heater Warranty outlined above is further subject to the following qualifications:
(1) The Catalytic Gas Room Heater must be installed in accordance with SFC installation instructions and local building codes. The Warranty on this
Catalytic Gas Room Heater covers only the component parts manufactured by SFC. The use of components manufactured by others with this
Catalytic Gas Room Heater (except for a listed venting system as prescribed in the installation instructions) could create serious safety hazards,
may result in the denial of certification by recognized national safety agencies, and could be in violation of local building codes. This Warranty
does not cover any damages occurring from the use of any components not manufactured or supplied by SFC.
(2) The Catalytic Gas Room Heater must be subjected to normal use. The gas inserts are designed to burn either natural or propane gas only. Burning
conventional fireplace fuels such as wood, coal, or any other solid fuel will cause damage to the gas insert, will produce excessive temperatures
and will result in a fire hazard.
LIMITATION ON LIABILITY
It is expressly agreed and understood that SFC sole obligation and purchaser’s exclusive remedy under this warranty, under any other warranty,
expressed or implied, or in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be limited to replacement, repair, or refund, as specified above.
In no event shall SFC be responsible for any incidental or consequential damages caused by defects in its products, whether such damage occurs
or is discovered before or after replacement or repair, and whether or not such damage is caused by SFC's negligence. Some states do not allow
the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. The duration of
any implied warranty with respect to this SFC gas insert is limited to the duration of the foregoing warranty. Some states do not allow limitations
on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above may not apply to you.
INVESTIGATION OF CLAIMS AGAINST WARRANTY
SFC reserves the right to investigate any and all claims against this Warranty and to decide upon method of settlement.
SUPERIOR FIREPLACE COMPANY NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WORK DONE WITHOUT WRITTEN CONSENT
SFC shall in no event be responsible for any warranty work done without first obtaining SFC’s written consent.
DEALERS HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO ALTER THIS WARRANTY
SFC employees and dealers have no authority to make any warranties nor to authorize any remedies in addition to or inconsistent with those stated
above.
