PRODUCT FEATURES
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 realistic ames. 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. This heater may also be operated
as a vented decorative (ANSI Z21.60) product by
opening the ue damper.
This heater has a pilot with an Oxygen Deple-
tion 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.
This heater has a piezo ignitor. This system re-
quires no matches, batteries, or other sources to
light heater.

Today’s homes are built more energy efficient
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 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.
The following are excerpts from NationalFuelGas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Section 5.3, Air for
Combustion and Ventilation.
All spaces in homes fall into one of the three fol-
lowing ventilation classications:
1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconned Space
3. Conned Space
The information on pages 5 through 7 will help
you classify your space and provide adequate
ventilation.
AIR FOR COMbUSTION
AND VENTILATION
Continued
The air that leaks around doors and windows
may provide enough fresh air for combustion and
ventilation. However, in buildings of unusually

Determining
Fresh-Air Flow For Heater Location
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA
54 denes a conned 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 aggregate input
rating of all appliances installed in that space and
an unconned space as a space whose volume is
not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour
(4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of
all appliances installed in that space. Rooms com-
municating directly with the space in which the
appliances are installed*, through openings not
furnished with doors, are considered a part of the
unconned space.
* Adjoining rooms are communicating only if
there are doorless passageways or ventilation grills
between them.
DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW
FOR HEATER LOCATION
Use this work sheet to determine if you have a
conned or unconned 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 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 =
(Maximum 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 heater ___________ 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 heater + __________ Btu/Hr
Total = __________ Btu/Hr
40,000
33,000
73,000
7
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)
73,000 Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr
used)
The space in the above example is a conned
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
unconned space, remove door to adjoining
room or add ventilation grills between rooms.
See Ventilation Air From Inside Building.
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ven-
tilation Air From Outdoors.
C. Install a lower Btu/Hr heater, if lower Btu/Hr size
makes room unconned.
WARNING: If the area in

This fresh air would come from an adjoining un-
conned space. When ventilating to an adjoining
unconned space, you must provide two perma-
nent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and
one within 12" of the oor on the wall connecting
the two spaces (see options 1 and 2, Figure 2). You
can also remove door into adjoining room (see
option 3, Figure 2). Follow the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Section 5.3, Air for
Combustion and Ventilation for required size of
ventilation grills or ducts.
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,
Section5.3,AirforCombustionandVentilationfor
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.

FLOOR CLEARANCES
A. If installing appliance on the oor level, you
must maintain the minimum distance of 14"
to combustibles (see Figure 8).
B.
If combustible materials are less than 14 to the
replace, you must install appliance at least 5
above the combustible ooring (see Figure 9).
Note: When used as a vented heater, appliance
must be installed only in a solid-fuel burning
replace with a working ue and constructed of
noncombustible material.
You may use this heater as a vented product. There
are three reasons for operating your heater in the
vented mode.
1.
The replace does not meet the clearance to com-
bustibles requirements for vent-free operation.
2. State or local codes do not permit vent-free
operation.
3. You prefer vented operation.
If reasons number 1 or 2 above apply to you, you
must permanently open chimney ue damper. You
must install the damper clamp accessory (to order,
see Accessories, page 31). This will insure vented
operation (see Figure 10). The damper clamp will
keep damper open. Installation instructions are
included with clamp accessory.
See chart below for minimum permanent ue
opening you must provide. Attach damper clamp
so the minimum permanent ue opening will be
maintained at all times.

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
* A CSA design-certied equipment shutoff valve
with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to
test gauge connection. Purchase the optional CSA
design-certied equipment shutoff valve from your
dealer. See Accessories, page 31.
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 pres-
sure, heater regulator damage could occur. Install
external regulator with the vent pointing down as
shown in Figure 15, page 14. Pointing the vent
down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
1. Locate slot on battery cover of receiver (see
Figure 13). Firmly insert tool such as a small
screwdriver, butter knife, or dime into the slot
and lift up to remove cover.
2. Insert 4 AA batteries into receiver. Positive and
negative are marked inside receiver casing.
Note: Receiver will not function if batteries
are not installed correctly.
3. Slide tab on cover into receiver housing and
snap cover back into place.

correctly.
3. Slide remote cover back into place.
We recommend that you install a sediment trap in
supply line as shown in Figure 16. 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.

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 16).
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 re-
quirements 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.
