UNPACKING
1. Remove heater from carton.
2. Remove all protective packaging applied to heater for shipping
3. Check heater for any shipping damage. If heater is damaged, promptly inform dealer where you bought
heater.
4. WATER VAPOR: A BY-PRODUCT OF UNVENTED ROOM HEATERS
Water vapor is a by-product of gas combustion. An unvented room heater produces approximately one (1)
ounce (30 ml) of water for every 1,000 BTUs (0.3 KWs) of gas input per hour. Unvented room heaters are
recommended as supplemental heat (a room) rather than a primary heat source (an entire house). In
most supplemental heat applications, the water vapor does not create a problem. In most applications,
the water vapor enhances the low humidity atmosphere experienced during cold weather. The following
steps will help ensure that water vapor does not become a problem.
1. Be sure the heater is sized properly for the application, including ample combustion air and circulation
air.
2. If high humidity is experienced, a dehumidifier may be used to help lower the water vapor content of
the air.
3. Do not use an unvented room heater as the primary heat source.
5. AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in a confined space or unusually tight construction
unless provisions are provided for adequate combustion and ventilation air. Read the following
instructions to ensure proper fresh air for this and other fuel-burning appliances in your home.
Providing Adequate Ventilation
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.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 classifications:
1. Unusually Tight Construction
Igniter button Igniter button
7
2. Unconfined Space
3. Confined Space
The information on the followed pages will help you classify your space and provide adequate ventilation.
Confined and Unconfined Space
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223 .1/NFPA 54 defines a confined space as a space whose volume
is less than 50 cu. ft. 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 cubic feet
per 1,000 BTU/hr (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space.
Rooms connecting directly with the space in which the appliances are installed, through openings not
furnished with doors, are considered a part of the unconfined space.
This heater shall not be installed in a confined space or unusually tight construction unless provisions are
provided for adequate combustion and ventilation air. Adjoining rooms are connecting only if there are
odorless passageways or ventilation grills between them.
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 defined as construction where:
a) Walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a
rating of one perm (6×10-11kg per pa-sec-m2) or less with openings gasket or sealed and
b) Weather stripping has been added on openable windows and on doors and
c) Caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as joints around window and door frames, between sole
plates and floors, 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”. If your home does not meet all of the three criteria above, proceed to “Determining
Fresh-Air Flow For Heater Location”.
6. DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR HEATER LOCATION
Using this worksheet to determine if you have a confined or unconfined space. Space: Includes the room
in which you will install heater plus any adjoining rooms with doorless passageways or ventilation grills
between the rooms.
1. Determine the volume of the space Length × Width × Height = cu. ft. (volume of space)
Example: Space size 20 ft. (length) × 16 ft. (width)×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. Divide the space volume by 50 cubic feet to determine the maximum BTU/hr the space can support.
(volume of space) ÷ 50 cu. ft. =(Maximum BTU/hr the space can support)
8
3. Add the BTU/hr of all fuel burning appliances in the space.
Vent-free heater BTU/hr
Gas water heater* BTU/hr
Gas furnace BTU/hr
Vented gas heater BTU/hr
Gas heater logs BTU/hr
Other gas appliances* + BTU/hr
Total = BTU/hr
Example:
Gas water heater 30,000 BTU/hr
Vent-free heater + 26,000 BTU/hr
Total = 56,000 BTU/hr
*Do not include direct-vent gas appliances. Direct-vent draws combustion air from the outdoors and vents to the outdoors
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 of BTU/hr used)
Example : 51,200 BTU/hr (maximum the space can support)
56,000 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. Your options are as follows:
Rework worksheet, adding the space of an adjoining room. If the extra space provides an unconfined
space,
a) remove door to adjoining room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See “Ventilation Air From
Inside Building ” on next page.
b)Vent room directly to the outdoors. See “Ventilation Air From Outdoors ” on next page.
c) Install a lower BTU/hr heater if lower BTU/hr size makes room unconfined. If the actual BTU/hr used is
less than the maximum BTU/hr the space can support, the space is an unconfined space. You will need
no additional fresh air ventilation.
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/NFPA 54. Air for Combustion and Ventilation, or
applicable local codes.
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.
9
Ventilation Air From lnside Building
This fresh air would come from an adjoining unconfined space. When ventilating to an adjoining
unconfined space, you must provide two permanent openings: one within 12 inches of the ceiling and one
within 12 inches of the floor on the wall connecting the two spaces (see options 1 and 2, Figure 2). You
can also remove the door into adjoining room (see option 3, Figure 2). Follow the National Fuel Gas Code.
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for Combustion and Ventilation for required size of ventilation grills or ducts.
Figure 2 - Ventilation Air from Inside Building
NOTE: Base not included. Not for use in bedrooms or bathrooms.
Ventilation Air From Outdoors
Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation grills or ducts. You
must provide two permanent openings: one within 12 inches of
the ceiling and one within 12 inches of the floor. 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.
Figure 3 - Ventilation Air from Outdoors
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. Rework
worksheet, adding the space of the adjoining unconfined space. The combined spaces must have
enough fresh air to supply all appliances in both spaces.
7. INSTALLATION
NOTICE: This heater is intended for use as supplemental heat. Use this heater along with your
primary heating system. Do not install this heater as your primary heat source. If you have a central
heating system, you may run system’s circulating blower while using heater. This will help circulate the
heat throughout the house. In the event of a power outage, you can use this heater as your primary heat
source.
Caution: If you install the heater in a home garage:
Heater pilot and burner must be at least 18 inches above the floor. Place heater where moving
vehicle will not hit it.
WARNING: A qualified service person must install heater. Follow all local codes.
WARNING: Never install the heater
in a recreational vehicle
where curtains, furniture, clothing, or other flammable objects are less than 36 inches from the
front, top, or sides of the heater
in high traffic areas
in windy or drafty areas
10
CAUTION: This heater creates warm air currents. These
currents move heat to wall surfaces next to heater.
Installing heater next to vinyl or cloth wall coverings or
operating heater where impurities (such as tobacco smoke,
aromatic candles, cleaning fluids, oil or kerosene lamps, etc.)
in the air exist, may cause walls to discolor.
IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters add moisture to the air.
Although this is beneficial, installing heater in rooms without
enough ventilation air may cause mildew to form too much
moisture. See Air for Combustion and Ventilation.

8. CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY
WARNING: A qualified service technician must connect heater to gas supply. Follow all local codes.
WARNING: This appliance requires a 3/8-inch NPT (National Pipe Thread) inlet connection to the
pressure regulator.
WARNING: Never connect heater to private (non-utility) gas wells. This gas is commonly known as
wellhead gas.
WARNING: Do not over-tighten gas connections.
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-in. diameter or greater to allow proper gas
volume to heater. If pipe is too small, undue loss of pressure will occur.
NATURAL GAS MODELS:
CAUTION: Check your gas line pressure before connecting heater to gas line. Gas line pressure
must be no greater than 11 inches of water. If gas line pressure is higher, damage on appliance
regulator could occur.
PROPANE MODELS:
CAUTION: Never connect heater directly to the gas supply. This heater requires an external
regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator between the heater and gas supply.
CAUTION: Avoid damage to regulator. Hold gas regulator with wrench when connecting into gas
piping and/or fittings.
CAUTION: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to gas (Propane or Natural Gas).
IMPORTANT: Install an equipment shutoff valve in an accessible location where the gas pipe goes
indoors. The equipment shutoff valve is for turning on or shutting off the gas to the appliance.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads. This will prevent
excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could
result in clogged heater valves. 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 inches 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 8.
Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

Lighting INSTRUCTIONS
Before Lighting
1. Make sure the heater is properly installed and connected. Open the external safety shut off valve (not
part of the heater) on gas inlet line to the heater.
2. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out air inside gas lines. Smell if there is any leakage.
IMPORTANT: If you smell any gas, don’t try to light any appliances, do not touch electrical
switches or use any phone in the building. Shut off the valve on gas inlet line immediately and
contact gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow gas supplier’s instructions. If you can’t
reach the gas supplier, call the fire department. Only when you make sure there is no gas leakage,
go to the next step.

INSPECTING BURNER
Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame pattern often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 12 shows a correct pilot flame pattern.
Figure 12
WARNING:If yellow tipping occurs, your heater could produce increased levels of carbon monoxide.
If burner flame pattern shows yellow tipping, follow instructions at bottom of this page.
Notice: Do not confuse orange flames with yellow tipping. Dirt or other fine particles enter the heater and
burn causing brief patches of orange flame

10. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING:Turn off heater and let cool before servicing
CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burner, and circulating air passageways of the heater clean.
Inspect these areas of heater before each use. Have heater inspected yearly by a qualified service
technician. Heater may need more frequent cleaning due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding
material, pet hair, etc.
ODS/PILOT AND BURNER
Use a vacuum cleaner, pressurized air, or a small, soft bristled brush to clean.
CLEANING BURNER PILOT AIR INLET HOLE
We recommend that you clean the unit every 2,500 hours of operation
or every three months. 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 PSl.
Your local computer store, hardware store, or home center may carry
compressed air in a can. You can use a vacuum cleaner in the blow
position. If using compressed air in a can, please
follow the directions on the can. If you don’t follow directions
Figure13
on the can, you could damage the pilot assembly.
1. Shut off the unit, including the pilot. Allow the unit to cool for at least thirty minutes.
2. Inspect burner and pilot for dust and dirt.
3. Blow air through the ports/slots and holes in the burner. Also clean the pilot assembly. A yellow tip on
the pilot flame indicates dust and dirt in the pilot assembly. There is a small pilot air inlet hole about two
inches from where the pilot flame comes out of the pilot assembly (see Figure13. With the unit off, lightly
blow air through the air inlet hole. You may blow through a drinking straw if compressed air is not
available.
CABINET
Air Passageways
Use a vacuum cleaner or pressurized air to clean.
Exterior
Use a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water mixture.
Wipe the cabinet to remove dust
1) Use a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water mixture.

11. TROUBLE SHOOTING
WARNING: If you smell gas:
1) Open the window and door immediately.
2) Shut off gas supply.
3) Do not try to light any appliance.
4) Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.
5) Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
6) If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
IMPORTANT: Operating heater where impurities in air exist may create odors. Cleaning supplies, paint,
paint remover, cigarette smoke, cements and glues, new carpet or textiles, etc., create fumes. These
fumes may mix with combustion air and create odors.
WARNING: Only a qualified service technician should service and repair heater.
CAUTION: Never use a wire, needle, or similar object to clean ODS/pilot. This can damage ODS/ pilot
unit. Note: All troubleshooting items are listed in order of operation.
