11. Do not install the heater in a bathroom or bedroom.
12. Correct installation of the ceramic stones, proper location of the heater, and annual cleaning
are necessary to avoid potential problems with sooting. Sooting, resulting from improper
installation or operation, can settle on surfaces outside the replace. See stone placement
instructions for proper installation.
13. WARNING: Avoid any drafts that alter burner ame patterns. Do not allow fans to blow
directly into replace. Do not place a blower inside burn area of rebox. Ceiling fans may
create drafts that alter burner ame patterns. Sooting and improper burning will occur.
14. Caution: Candles, incense, oil lamps, etc. produce combustion by-products including
soot. Vent Free heaters will not lter or clean soot produced by these types of products.
In addition, the smoke and/or aromatics (scents) may be reburned in the Vent Free heater
which can produce odors. It is recommended to minimize the use of candles, incense, etc.
while the Vent Free heater is in operation.
15. Keep room area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other ammable
vapors and liquids.
16. Unvented gas heaters are a supplemental zone heater. They are not intended to be the
primary heating appliance.
17. Unvented gas heaters emit moisture into the living area. In most homes of average
construction, this does not pose a problem. In houses of extremely tight construction,
additional mechanical ventilation is recommended.
18. During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various components of this appliance are
treated with certain oils, lms or bonding agents. These chemicals are not harmful but may
produce annoying smoke and smells as they are burned o during the initial operation
of the heater; possibly causing headaches or eye or lung irritation. This is a normal and
temporary occurrence. The initial break-in operation should last two to three hours with the
burner at the highest setting. Provide maximum ventilation by opening windows or doors
to allow odors to dissipate. Any odors remaining after this initial break-in period will be
slight and will disappear with continued use.
19. Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are for elevations up to 2,000 feet. For
elevations above 2,000 feet, input ratings should be reduced 4 percent for each 1,000 feet
above sea level. Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code.
20. The heater and its main gas valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psig (3.5 kPa).

ADEQUATE COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR
This heater shall not be installed in a conned space or unusually tight construction unless provisions are provided
for adequate combustion and ventilation air.
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 per hour (4.8 m3per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that
space. An unconned space is dened as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU per hour
(4.8 m3per kw) of 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 unconned space.
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 1
perm (6 x 1011 kg per pa-sec-m2) or less with openings gasketed or sealed;
b) weather stripping has been added on operable 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.
This appliance is equipped for natural gas.
Field conversion is not permitted.
WARNING

7
If the area in which the heater may be operated is smaller than that de-
ned as an unconned space or if the building is of unusually tight con-
struction, provide adequate combustion and ventilation air by one of the
methods described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54,
Section 5.3 or applicable local codes.
WARNING
The following formula can be used to determine the maximum heater rating (per the denition of unconned space)
that is allowed in your space:
Maximum BTU/Hr. = x 1000
Example A: Consider two connecting rooms with an open area between, with the following dimensions: L1 = 15½ ft.,
L2 = 12 ft., W = 12 ft., H = 8 ft.
x 1000 = 52,800 BTU/Hr.
Example B: If there were a door between the two rooms the calculation would be based only on the room with the
heater.
x 1000 = 29,760 BTU/Hr.
Will my space support a Gas Stones Vent Free with Fusion Basket?
Maximum BTU/hr. my space will support (use formula above) 1) __________________
BTU/hr. of European Home Gas Stones Vent Free 2) ____39,000________
If the answer to 1) is greater than 2) then your space will support the installation of the Gas Stones Vent Free; if 1) is
less than 2) then your space will not support a Gas Stones Vent Free.
