WATER VAPOR:A BY-PRODUCT OF UNVENTED ROOMHEATERS
Water vaporisa by-product of gas combustion. An unvented room heater produces approximately one (1)
ounce (30ml)of water forevery1,000 BTU’s(.3KW’s) of gas input per hour.
Unvented room heaters are recommended as a supplementalheater (for a room),rather than a primary
heat source (for an entire house). In most supplemental heat applications, the water vapor does not create
aproblem. In most applications,the watervapor enhances the lowhumidity atmosphere experienced during
cold weather. The following steps will help insure that water vapor does notbecome a problem.
1.Be sure the heater is sized properly for the application,including adequate combustion airand
circulation air.
2.Ifhigh humidity is experienced, a dehumidifier may be used to help lowerthe water vaporcontent of
the air.
3. Do not use an unvented roomheater as the primaryheat source.

AIR FORCOMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
WARNING:This heatershallnot be installedin a confinedspace or unusually tight construction
unless provisions are provided foradequate combustion and ventilation air.Read the following instructions to
insureproper fresh airfor this and other fuel-burning appliances in your home.
PRODUCING ADEQUATEVENTILATION
The following are excerpts from National FuelGas Code, NFPA54/ ANSI Z 223.1,Section 5.3, Airfor
Combustion and Ventilation.
All spaces in homes fall into one of the three following ventilation classifications:
1.Unusually Tight Construction
2.Unconfined Space
3.Confined Space
The informationon pages 7 through 9 will help youclassify your space and provide adequate ventilation.
Confined and Unconfined Space
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANS Z223.1 definesa confined 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 ofall appliances
installed in that space and an unconfining space as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet
per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kw) ofthe aggregate input rating ofall appliances installed in that
space. Roomscommunicating directly with the space in which the appliances are installed*,through
openings not furnished with doors,are considereda partofthe unconfined space.
This heatershallnot be installed ina confined space or unusually tight construction unless provisions are
provided for adequate combustion and ventilation air.
* Adjoining rooms are communicating only if there are doorlesspassageways or ventilation grills
between them.
Unusually Tight Construction
The air that leaks around doorsand windows may provide enough fresh air for combustion and ventilation.
However, in buildingsof unusually tight construction,you must provide additional fresh air.
Unusuallytightconstruction isdefined asconstruction where:
a) walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere have a continuous water vaporretarder with a
rating of one perm (6 10-11kg perpa-sec-m2) or less with openings gasketed orsealed and
b) weather stripping has been added on windows that can be opened and doorsand
c) caulking orsealants are applied to areas such as joints around window and door frames, between sole
plates and floors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, atpenetrations for plumbing,electrical,
and gas lines, and at other openings.
If yourhome meets all of the three criteria above, you mustprovide additional fresh air. See Ventilation Air
From Outdoors(page 9).Ifyour home does not meet all of the three criteria above, proceed to Determining
Fresh-AirFlow For Heater Location (below).
DETERMININGFRESH-AIR FLOW FOR HEATERLOCATION
Determining ifYou Have aConfined or Unconfined Space
Use this worksheet to determine if you have a confined or unconfined space.
Space: Includes the room in which you will install heaterplus any adjoining rooms with doorless
passageways or ventilation grillsbetween the rooms.
1.Determine the volumeofthe space.
Length Width Height=_____________ cu. ft. (volume of space)
Example: Space size 20ft. (length) 16ft. (width) 8ft. (ceiling height)= 2560cu. ft.(volume ofspace)If
additional ventilation to adjoining room is suppliedwith grillsor openings, add the volume of these rooms to
the total volume of the space.
7

2.Divide the space volume by 50 cubic feet to determine the maximum Btu/Hrthe space can support.
(volume of space) ÷50 cu. ft. = (Maximum Btu/Hrthe space can support)
Example: 2560 cu.ft. (volume of space) ÷50 cu. ft .= 51.2 or 51,200(maximum Btu/Hrthe space can
support)
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/HrExample:
Vented gas heaterBtu/HrGas water heater 30,000 Btu/Hr
Gas heater logs Btu/HrVent-free heater +26,000 Btu/Hr
Other gasappliances* + Btu/HrTotal= 56,000 Btu/Hr
Total =___________________Btu/Hr
*Do not include direct-vent gas appliances. Direct-vent draws combustion airfrom the outdoorsand vents to
the outdoors.
4.Compare the maximum Btu/Hr that 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 (actualamount 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/Hrthe space can support.You must provide additional fresh air. Your options are as follows:
a) Reworkworksheet, adding the space of an adjoining room. Ifthe extra space provides an unconfined
space, remove door to adjoining roomor add ventilation grills between rooms.See “Ventilation Airfrom
Outdoors,”page 9.
b) Vent room directly to the outdoors. See “Ventilation Air from Outdoors,”page 9.
c) Installa lowerBtu/Hr heater,if lowerBtu/Hr size makes room unconfined. If theactualBtu/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 issmaller than thatdefined asan unconfined
space orif thebuilding is of unusually tight construction, provide adequate combustion and ventilation air by
one of the methods describedin the National Fuel Gas Code,ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54,Air for Combustion and
Ventilation, or applicable local codes.”
Ventilation Air From lnsideBuilding
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" ofthe ceiling and one within 12" of the
floor on the wall connecting the two spaces (see
options1 and 2,Figure 2).You can also remove door
into adjoining room(see option 3, Figure 2). Follow the
National Fuel Gas Code. NFPA54/ANSI Z223.1, Section
5.3, Air forCombustion and Ventilation for required
size of ventilation grills or ducts.

Ventilation Air From Outdoors
Provide extra fresh airby using ventilation grills
or ducts. You must provide two permanent
openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and one
within 12" ofthe floor.Connect these items
directlyto the outdoors or spacesopen to the
outdoors.These spaces include attics and
crawl spaces. Follow the NationalFuelGas
Code,NFPA 54/ ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3, Air
forCombustion and Ventilation for required
size of ventilation grills or ducts.
IMPORTANT: Do not provideopenings for inlet
or outlet airinto attic if attichas a thermostat-
controlled powervent.Heated air entering the atticwill activate the power vent. Reworkworksheet,
adding the space ofthe Adjoining unconfined space. The combined spaces must have enough fresh air to
supply all appliances in both spaces.
INSTALLATION
NOTICE: This heaterisintended for use as supplementalheat.Use this heater along with yourprimary
heatingsystem. Do not installthis heater as yourprimary heat source. Ifyou have a central heating system,
you may run system's circulating blowerwhile using the heater. Thiswill help circulate the heat throughout

The installer must supply an external regulator. The external
regulator willreduce incominggas pressure. You must reduce
incoming gas pressure to between 11 and 14 inches ofwater
column for propane and between 5 and 10.5 inches of water
column for naturalgas. Ifyou do not reduce incoming pressure,
heater regulator damage could occur.
lnstall external regulator with the vent pointing downas shown
in Figure6. Pointing the vent down protects
it fromfreezingrain or sleet.
CAUTION: Use onlynew black iron or steel pipe. Internally-
tinned copper tubing may be used in certain areas. Check
your local codes. Use pipe of 1/2" diameteror greater to allow
propergas volume toheater. Ifpipe is too small, a loss of
pressurewill occur. Installation mustinclude an equipment
shutoff valve,union, and plugged 1/8" NPTtap.Locate NPT
tap within reach fortest gauge hook up. NPT tap must be
upstream from heater (see Figure 7).
IMPORTANT: Installequipmentshutoff valve in an accessible location. The equipmentshutoff valve is for
turning on or shutting off the gas to the appliance.Apply pipe joint sealantlightly to male threads. This will
prevent excess sealant from going intopipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result in clogged heater valves.
CAUTION: Use pipejoint sealant that is resistant to gas (PROPANE or NG). We recommend that you
install asediment trap in a supplylineas shown in Figure 7. Locate sedimenttrap where itis within reach for
cleaning. Installin the piping systembetween fuel supplyand heater. Locate sediment trap where trapped
matterisnot likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keepsthem fromgoing
into heater controls.Ifsedimenttrap is notinstalled or is installedincorrectly, heater may not run properly.
CAUTION: Avoid damage to regulator. Hold gas regulator with wrenchwhen connecting into gas piping
and/or fittings.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Disconnect powerbefore attempting any maintenance orcleaning to reduce the riskoffire,
electricshookor personalinjury. Turn offheater and letcool before cleaning.
WARNING: Failureto keep primary airopenings ofburnersclean may result in sooting andproperty
damage.
CAUTION: You must keep control areas,burner,and circulating airpassageways of heaterclean. Inspect
these areas of heater before each use. Have heater inspected yearly by a qualified service person. Heater
may need more frequent cleaning due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, pet hair, etc.
CLEANING ODS/IGNITORANDBURNER
Clean with a vacuum cleaner.
CLEANING BURNERINJECTORHOLDER AND PILOTAIRINLET HOLE
We recommend that you clean the unit every three months orafter 2500 hours ofoperation. Wealso
recommend thatyou keep the burner tube and pilot assembly clean and free of dust and dirt.To clean these
parts we recommendusing compressed air no greaterthan 30 PSI. You can use a vacuumcleanerin the blow
position. Ifusing compressed airin a can, please follow the directions on the can.If you don'tfollow directions
on the can, you could damage the pilot assembly.
1.Shut off the unit, including the pilot.Allow the unit to coolfor at leastthirtyminutes.
2.Inspect burner, pilot and primary air inlet holes on injectorholderfor dustand dirt (see figure 19).
3.Blow air through the ports/slots and holes in the burner.
4.Check the injector holder located at the end of the burner tube again.Remove anylarge particles of dust,
dirt,lint,or pethairwith a softcloth or vacuum cleaner nozzle.
5.Blow air into the primary air holes onthe injector holder(see Figure19).
6.In case any large clumps of dusthave now been pushed into the burner, repeat steps 3 and 4.
Clean the pilotassemblyalso. A yellow tip on the pilot flame indicates dust and dirtin the pilotassembly.
There is a small pilot air inlethole about two inches from where the pilotflame comesout of the pilotassembly
(see Figure 20). With the unit off,lightlyblowair through the airinlethole. You may blow through a drinking
straw ifcompressed airisnot available.
