PRODUCT FEATURES

OPERATION

This heater is clean burning. It requires no outside venting. There is no heat loss out a vent or up a chimney. Heat is generated by both realistic ﬂ ames and glowing coals. This heater is designed for vent-free operation with ﬂ ue damper closed. It has been tested and approved to ANSI Z21.11.2 standard for unvented heaters.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

WARNING: 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/NFP A 54, the International Fuel Gas Code, or applicable

local codes. Read the following instructions to insure proper fresh air for this and other fuel-burning appliances in your home.

Today’s homes are built more energy efﬁ cient 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 efﬁ cient, 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, ﬁ replaces, 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 ADEQUA TE VENTILATION

The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for Combustion and Ventilation.

SAFETY DEVICE

This heater has a pilot with an Oxygen Depletion Sensing (ODS) safety shutoff system. The ODS/pilot is a required feature for vent-free room heaters. The ODS/pilot shuts off the heater if there is not enough fresh air.

ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM

This heater has an electronic ignitor to light heater fuel supply.

All spaces in homes fall into one of the three following ventilation classiﬁ cations:

1. Unusually Tight Construction

2. Unconﬁ ned Space

3. Conﬁ ned Space The information on pages 6 through 8 will help

you classify your space and provide adequate ventilation.

Unusually Tight 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 deﬁ ned 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 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 ﬂ oors, 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.

Conﬁ ned and Unconﬁ ned Space

The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/ NFP A 54 deﬁ nes a conﬁ ned space as a space

whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per

1,000 Btu/hr (4.8 m

per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space and an unconﬁ ned space as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet

per 1,000 Btu/hr (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*, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered a part of the unconﬁ ned space.

* Adjoining rooms are communicating only if there are doorless passageways or ventilation grills between them.

DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR HEATER LOCATION

Determining if You Have a Conﬁ ned or Unconﬁ ned Space

Use this work sheet to determine if you have a conﬁ ned or unconﬁ ned space.

Space: Includes the room in which you will install

ﬁ replace 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)

Example: Space size 20 ft. (length) x 16 ft.

(width) x 8 ft. (ceiling height) = 2560 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: 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space) x 20

= 51,200 (maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)

3. Add the Btu/Hr of all fuel burning appliances

in the space.

Vent-free ﬁ replace __________ Btu/Hr Gas water heater* __________ Btu/Hr Gas furnace __________ Btu/Hr Vented gas heater __________ Btu/Hr Gas ﬁ replace 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 ﬁ replace + _________ Btu/Hr Total = _________ Btu/Hr

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 used)

Example: 51,200 Btu/Hr (maximum the

space can support)

73,000 Btu/Hr (actual amount of

Btu/Hr used)

The space in the above example is a conﬁ ned 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 unconﬁ ned space, remove door to adjoin- ing room or add ventilation grills between

rooms. See Ventilation Air From Inside Building, page 8.

B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See

Ventilation Air From Outdoors, page 8.

C. Install a lower Btu/Hr ﬁ replace, if lower Btu/

Hr size makes room unconﬁ ned.

If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maxi-

mum Btu/Hr the space can support, the space is

an unconﬁ ned space. You will need no additional fresh air ventilation.

40,000 33,000 73,000

WARNING: If the area in which the heater may be operated does not meet the required volume for indoor combustion air, combustion and ventilation air shall be provided by one of the methods described in the National Fuel

Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the International Fuel Gas Code, or applicable local codes.

may be used in certain areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of 1/2" diameter or greater to allow proper gas volume to

CAUTION: Never connect propane/LP ﬁ replace directly to the propane/LP supply. This heater requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator between the heater and propane/LP supply.

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

Installation Items Needed

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

• external regulator (supplied by installer)

• piping (check local codes)

• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)

• equipment shutoff valve *

• test gauge connection *

• sediment trap

• tee joint

• pipe wrench

• approved ﬂ exible gas line with gas connec- tor (if allowed by local codes) (not provided)

* An equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the optional equipment shutoff valve from your dealer.

For propane/LP units, the installer must supply an external regulator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11" and 14" of water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, heater regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator

heater. If pipe is too small, undue loss of volume 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 13, page 14).

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.

Check your building codes for any special requirements for locating equipment shutoff valve to ﬁ replaces.

Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT threads. This will prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result in clogged heater valves.

WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.

WARNING: Turn off heater

and let cool before cleaning.

CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burners and circulating air passageways of heater clean. Inspect these areas of heater before each use. Have heater inspected yearly by a qualiﬁ ed service person. Heater may need more frequent cleaning due to excessive lint from carpeting, pet hair , bedding material, etc.

WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air opening(s) of the burner(s) clean may result in sooting 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 ﬂ ame. 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 qualiﬁ ed 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. 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 unit, including pilot. Allow 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 37, page 30).

3. Blow air through the ports/slots and holes in the burner.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Continued

4. Check injector holder located at end of 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.

Clean pilot assembly also. Additional cleaning may be needed for proper pilot operation based on use/lack of use. A yellow tip on the pilot ﬂ ame may indicate dust and dirt in the pilot assembly. There is a small pilot air inlet hole about from where the pilot ﬂ ame comes out of pilot assembly (see Figure 38). With unit off, lightly blow air through air inlet hole. You may blow through a drinking straw if compressed air is not available.

LOGS

• If you remove logs for cleaning, refer to

Installing Logs Embers and Lava Rock,

page 17, to properly replace logs.

• Replace log(s) if broken or chipped (dimesized or larger).

MAIN BURNER

Periodically inspect all burner ﬂ ame holes with heater running. All slotted burner flame holes should be open with ﬂ ame present. All round burner ﬂ ame holes should be open with a small blue ﬂ ame present. Some burner ﬂ ame holes may become blocked by debris or rust, with no ﬂ ame present. If so, turn off heater and let cool. Remove blockage, blocked burner ﬂ ame holes will create soot.

W ARNING: The injector holders (air shutters) are not adjustable. Do not move injector holders from their original positions.

OBSERVED PROBLEM

When ignitor button is pressed on the remote or touch pad, the pilot sparks but there is no ignition.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

1. Gas supply turned off or equipment shutoff valve closed

2. Air in gas lines.

3. Thermocouple circuit between the control valve and the control module is open.

REMEDY

1. Turn on gas supply or open equipment shutoff valve.

2. Continue turning the burner system ON and OFF. Repeat igniting operation until air is removed. On ﬁ rst time ignitions, air in the lines is common and it is not uncommon to repeat the ignition sequence 10 to 15 times before enough gas is at the ods pilot for it to light.

3. Check the thermocouple connection at the control valve and also at the control module. The thermocouple connection at the control valve should be hand tight plus 1/4 to 1/2 turn. You should not be able to loosen the thermocouple at the control valve with your hand. Check the thermocouple terminal connection at the control module. If it is loose, remove it with needle nose pliers, using the pliers, slightly close the terminal's opening and reinstall on to the control module.

4. No gas to the ods pilot

5. Depleted gas supply (propane/LP only)

6. Valve cable is disconnected or broken.

7. ODS pilot is clogged

4. While the pilot is sparking, check for gas ﬂ ow at the ods pilot. If ﬂ ow is present, try to light the pilot with a long reach lighter. If it will not light but the ﬂ ame is disturbed, air is in the line. Cycle through the ignition sequence to clear the line of air until gas is present. If no ﬂ ow is present at the gas valve, check to see all shut off valves are open. Verify proper pressure is supplied to the valve. Excessive pressure can lock out the appliance's regulator. Also check to see that the wiring harness from the control valve is properly connected at the control module. The wiring harness connection housing can be identiﬁ ed by it's blue connector housing.

5. Contact local propane/LP gas company.

6. Connect valve cable correctly

7. Clean ods pilot (see Cleaning and Maintenance , page 30) or replace ods pilot assembly.

8. Gas regulator setting is not correct
