PRODUCT FEATURES

OPERATION

This appliance 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 appli- ance is designed for vent-free operation with ﬂ ue damper closed. It has been tested and approved to the ANSI Z21.1 1.2 standard for unvented appliances. State and local codes in some areas prohibit the use of vent-free appliances.

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 ensure proper fresh air for this and other fuelburning 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. Homeowners apply weather strip and caulk around windows and doors to keep the cold air out and the warm air in. During heating months, homeowners 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, some ﬁ replaces, clothes dryers and some fuel-burning appliances draw air from the house to operate. You must provide adequate fresh air for these appliances. That will ensure 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.

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

SAFETY DEVICE

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

ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM

This appliance has an electronic Igniter to light appliance fuel supply.

1. Unusually Tight Construction

2. Unconﬁ ned Space

3. Conﬁ ned Space The information on Pages6-8 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 three criteria above, you must provide additional fresh air. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors, Page 8.

If your home does not meet all 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 A54 allows two methods for determining whether the space in which the heater is being installed is conﬁ ned or unconﬁ ned space. The

-11

kg per pa-sec-m2) or

standard method 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 gregate 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 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.

Where the air inﬁ ltration rate of a structure is known, the Known Air Inﬁ ltration Rate Method may be used. Follow The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 to use this method to determine if the space is conﬁ ned or unconﬁ ned.

* 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 Using the Standard Method

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

per kw) of the ag-

per kw) of

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 heater , 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. Y ou 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.

Installation Items Needed

Before installing appliance, 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.

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, appliance regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 12. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

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

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 appliance valves.

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

External Regulator with Vent Pointing Down

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 appliance. 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 appliance

(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.

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 appliance. Locate sediment trap where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into appliance controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is installed wrong, appliance may not run properly.

CAUTION: Avoid damage to gas control. Hold gas control with wrench when connecting it to gas piping and/or ﬁ ttings.

CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS

WARNING: Test all gas piping and connections, internal and external to unit, for leaks after installing or servicing. Correct all leaks at once.

WARNING: Never use an open ﬂ ame to check for a leak. Apply a noncorrosive leak detection ﬂ uid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.

3. Pressurize supply piping system by either opening propane/LP supply tank valve for propane/LP gas or opening main gas valve located on or near gas meter for natural gas or using compressed air.

4. Check all joints of gas supply piping system. Apply noncorrosive leak detection ﬂ uid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.

5. Correct all leaks at once.

6. Reconnect appliance and equipment shutoff valve to gas supply . Check reconnected ﬁ ttings for leaks.

Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)

1. Close equipment shutoff valve (see Fig- ure 14).

2. Pressurize supply piping system by either opening propane/LP supply tank valve for propane/LP gas or opening main gas valve located on or near gas meter for natural gas or using compressed air.

3. Check all joints from gas meter to equipment shutoff valve for natural gas or propane/LP supply to equipment shutoff valve for propane/LP (see Figure 15 or Figure 16, Page 16). Apply noncorrosive leak detection ﬂ uid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.

INSPECTING BURNERS

Check pilot ﬂ ame pattern and burner ﬂ ame patterns often.

PILOT FLAME PATTERN

Figure 62 shows a correct pilot ﬂ ame pattern. Figure 63 shows an incorrect pilot ﬂ ame pat-

tern. The incorrect pilot ﬂ ame is not touching the thermocouple. This will cause the thermocouple to cool. When the thermocouple cools, the appliance will shut down.

If pilot ﬂ ame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 63.

• turn appliance off (see To Turn Off Gas to

Appliance, Page 26)

• see Troubleshooting, Page 31

NOTE: The pilot ﬂ ame on natural gas units will have a slight curve, but ﬂ ame should be blue and have no yellow or orange color.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Turn off appliance and

let cool before cleaning.

CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burners and circulating air passageways of appliance clean. Inspect these areas of appliance before each use. Have appliance inspected yearly by a qualiﬁ ed service person. Appliance 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 appliance 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 65, Page 29).

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.

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 65). 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 Volcanic Stone, Pages17-23, to properly replace logs.

• Replace log(s) if broken or chipped (dime-

sized or larger).

MAIN BURNER

Periodically inspect all burner ﬂ ame holes with appliance running. All slotted burner ﬂ ame 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 appliance and let cool. Remove blockage, blocked burner ﬂ ame holes will create soot.

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