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 ames and glowing coals. This

heater is designed for vent-free operation with ue damper closed. It has been tested and approved to ANSI Z21.11.2 standard for unvented heaters. State and local codes in some areas prohibit the use of vent-free heaters.

PRODUCT FEATURES

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.

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/NFPA 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 ef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. Dur-

ing heating months, home owners want their

homes as airtight as possible. While it is good to make your home energy

ef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, 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 ADEQUATE VENTILATION

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

All spaces in homes fall into one of the three

following ventilation classications:

1. Unusually Tight Construction

2. Unconned Space

3. Con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 de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

-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 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 FreshAir Flow For Heater Location, page 7.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

Continued

Conned and Unconned Space

The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54 denes a conned space as a space

whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per

1,000 Btu/hr (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate

input rating of all appliances installed in that

space and an unconned space as a space

whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet

per 1,000 Btu/hr (4.8 m3 per kw) of the ag-

gregate 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 uncon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 Conned or Unconned Space

Use this work sheet to determine if you have

a conned or unconned space.

Space: Includes the room in which you will install

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 replace __________ Btu/Hr Gas water heater* __________ Btu/Hr Gas furnace __________ Btu/Hr

Vented gas heater __________ Btu/Hr Gas 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 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 con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 unconned 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

Ventilation Air From Outdoors, page 8.

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

Hr size makes room unconned.

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

mum Btu/Hr the space can support, the space is an unconned space. You will need no additional

fresh air ventilation.

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 oor. 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, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, 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.

CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY

WARNING: This appliance

requires a 3/8" NPT (National

Pipe Thread) inlet connection to

the pressure regulator.

WARNING: A qualied service person must connect heater to gas supply. Follow all local codes.

CAUTION: Never connect propane/LP 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 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 exible gas line with gas con-

nector (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.

Pipe Cap Tee Nipple Joint

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 re-

duce incoming gas pressure, heater regulator

damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure

13. Pointing the vent down protects it from

freezing rain or sleet.

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, 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).

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 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.

We recommend that you install a sediment trap in supply line as shown in Figure 13. 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.

INSPECTING BURNERS

Check pilot ame pattern and burner ame

patterns often.

PILOT FLAME PATTERN

Figure 68 shows a correct pilot ame pattern. Figure 69 shows an incorrect pilot ame pattern. The incorrect pilot ame is not touching

the thermocouple. This will cause the thermo-

couple to cool. When the thermocouple cools,

the heater will shut down.

If pilot ame pattern is incorrect, as shown

in Figure 69

• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 24

• see Troubleshooting, page 30

Note: The pilot ame on natural gas units will have a slight curve, but ame should be blue

and have no yellow or orange color.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

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 quali-

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 ame. Keep these holes clear of dust, dirt, lint and pet hair. Clean these air in-

let 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 quali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 71, page 28).

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

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.

Pilot Air Inlet Hole

Pilot Assembly

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 ame may indicate dust and dirt in the

pilot assembly. There is a small pilot air inlet

hole about from where the pilot ame comes

out of pilot assembly (see Figure 70). 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 (dime-

sized or larger).

MAIN BURNER

Periodically inspect all burner ame holes with

heater running. All slotted burner flame holes

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

WARNING: The injector hold-

ers (air shutters) are not adjustable. Do not move injector holders

from their original positions.
