INFORMATION
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs
ofcarbonmonoxidepoisoningresemblethe
flu, with headaches, dizziness, and/or nau-
sea. If you have these signs, the heater may
not be working properly. Get fresh air at
once! Have heater serviced. Some people
are more affected by carbon monoxide than
others. These include pregnant women,
peoplewithheartorlungdiseaseor anemia,
those under the influence of alcohol, and
those at high altitudes.
Propane/LPGas: Propane/LPgas isodor-
less. An odor-making agent is added to
propane/LPgas.The odor helps you detect
a propane/LP gas leak. However, the odor
added to propane/LP gas can fade. Pro-
pane/LP gas may be present even though
no odor exists.

Confined and Unconfined Space
The National Fuel Gas Code ANS Z223.1
defines a confined space as a space whose
volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000
Btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggre-
gate input rating of all appliances installed
in that space and an unconfined space as a
space whose volume is not less than 50
cubicfeetper1,000Btuperhour(4.8m3per
kw) of the aggregate input rating of all
appliances installed in that space. Rooms
communicating directly with the space in
whichtheappliancesareinstalled*,through
openings not furnished with doors, are con-
sidered a part of the unconfined space.
This heater shall not be installed in a con-
fined space or unusually tight construction
unlessprovisions are provided for adequate
combustion and ventilation air.

tion grills between them.
AIR FOR
COMBUSTION AND
VENTILATION
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 own-
ers weather strip and caulk around windows
anddoorstokeepthecoldairoutandthewarm
air in. During heating months, home owners
want their homes as airtight as possible.
While it is good to make your home energy
efficient,yourhome needsto breathe.Fresh
air must enter your home. All fuel-burning
appliances need fresh air for proper com-
bustion and ventilation.
Exhaustfans,fireplaces,clothesdryers,and
fuel burning appliances draw air from the
house to operate. You must provide ad-
equate 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. NFPA 54/ANS Z223.1, Sec-
tion5.3,AirforCombustionandVentilation.
Allspacesinhomesfallintooneofthethree
following ventilation classifications:
1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconfined Space
3. Confined Space
The information on pages 4 through 6 will
help you classify your space and provide
adequate ventilation.
Unusually Tight Construction
The air that leaks around doors and win-
dows 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-
fined as construction where:
a. walls and ceilings exposed to the
outside atmosphere have a con-
tinuous water vapor retarder with
a rating of one perm (6 x 10-11 kg
per pa-sec-m2) or less with open-
ings 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, be-
tween sole plates and floors,be-
tween wall-ceiling joints, be-
tween wall panels, at penetra-
tionsforplumbing,electrical,and
gas lines, and at other openings.
If your home meets all of the three
criteria above, you must provide ad-
ditional fresh air. See Ventilation Air
From Outdoors , page 6 .
If your home does not meet all of the
threecriteriaabove, proceed to Deter-
mining Fresh-Air Flow for Heater
Location, page 5.
WARNING: This heater shall

unless provisions are provided
foradequatecombustionandven-
tilation air. Read the following in-
structions to insure proper fresh
air for this and other fuel-burning
appliances in your home.

DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR HEATER LOCATION
Determining if You Have a Confined or Unconfined Space
Use this worksheet to determine if you have a confined or unconfined space.
Space:Includestheroominwhichyouwillinstallheaterplusanyadjoiningroomswithdoorlesspassagewaysorventilationgrillsbetween
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 18 ft. (length) x 16 ft. (width) x 8 ft. (ceiling height) = 2304 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)
Example: 2304 cu. ft. (volume of space) ÷50 cu. ft. = 46.1 or 46,100 (maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)
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 fireplace 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.
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: 46,100 Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support)
46,000 Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used)
ThespaceintheaboveexampleisaconfinedspacebecausetheactualBtu/HrusedismorethanthemaximumBtu/Hrthespacecansupport.
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 unconfined space, remove door to adjoin-
ing room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See Ventilation Air From Inside Building (page 6).
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors (page 6).
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.
Example:
Gas water heater 40,000 Btu/Hr
Vent-free heater +6,000 Btu/Hr
Total = 46,000 Btu/Hr

Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame
pattern often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 18 shows a correct pilot flame pat-
tern. Figure 19 shows an incorrect pilot
flame pattern. The incorrect pilot flame is
not touching the thermocouple. This will
cause the thermocouple to cool. When the
thermocouple cools, the heater will shut
down.
If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown
in Figure 19
• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to
Appliance, page 11)
