D. Getting Started
Verify that all listed parts have been received. You should
have the following:
• Unvented gas heater
• Two (2) anchoring screws
• Installation and Owner’s instructions
• 6" non-combustible board
• Deector glass
• Five (5) bags reglass
• Two (2) 90 watt bulbs
• RC300 remote control
Carefully inspect the contents for shipping damage. If any
parts are missing or damaged, immediately inform the
dealer from whom you purchased the appliance. Do not
attempt to install any part of the appliance unless you
have all parts in good condition.
F. Adequate Combustion 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/NFPA54),
denes a conned space as a space whose volume is less
than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU per hour (4.8m3per kw)
of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in
that space, and an unconned space 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 a conned space.
Unusually tight construction is dened 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, and
b. Weather stripping has been added to 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 other openings.
The following formula can be used to determine the maxi-
mum heater rating per the denition of unconned space:
BTU/Hr = (L1+ L2) Ft x (W) Ft x (H) Ft
50
Consider two connecting rooms with an open area
between, with the following dimensions:
L1 = 151/2 Ft., L2 = 12 Ft., W = 12 Ft., H = 8 Ft.
BTU/Hr = (151/2 + 12) x (12) x (8)
50
If there were a door between the two rooms the calculation
would be based only on the room with the heater.
BTU/Hr = (151/2) x (12) x (8)
50
Do not install the heater:
•Where curtains, furniture, clothing, or
other ammable objects are less than
36" from the front of the heater.
• In high trafc areas.
•In windy or drafty areas.
E. Planning the Installation
When planning the installation of the replace it is neces-
sary to determine where the unit is to be installed and
whether optional accessories are desired. Gas supply
piping should also be planned. The following steps repre-
sent the normal sequence of installation. Each installation
is unique, however, and might require a different sequence.
1. Position replace in desired location. Refer to the Fire-
place Location (page 8, Figure 3.2) and Clearances
and Height Requirements (page 9, Figures 3.4 and 3.5)
