2.3 GENERAL INFORMATION
No external electricity (110 volts or 24 volts) is required for the gas system operation.
Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling down cycles are normal and are to be expected.
This appliance is equipped with a pilot light safety system referred to as an oxygen depletion sensor and is
designed to turn off the appliance if not enough fresh air is available.
4.2B
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). The appliance must be
isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). When
installed with a blower the junction box must be electrically connected and grounded in accordance with local
codes. In the absence of local codes, use the current ANSI / NFPA 70 National Electric Code. In the case
where the blower is equipped with a power cord it must be connected into a properly grounded receptacle.
The grounding prong must not be removed from the cord plug.
As long as the required clearance to combustibles is maintained,
the most desirable and beneficial location for the appliance is in the
center of a building, thereby allowing the most efficient use of the

This appliance shall not be installed in a room or space unless the required volume o
f
indoor combustion air
is provided by the method described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA 54, the International
Fuel Gas Code, or applicable local codes.
To determine the volume of the room where the appliance is to be installed, multiply the width x the length x
the ceiling height of that room measured in feet. If any adjoining rooms are connected by grilles or openings
such as kitchen pass-throughs, etc., the volume of those rooms may be added to the total.
Multiply the room volume by 1000 and divide this amount by 50 to determine the maximum BTU/hr that the
space can support with adequate combustion and ventilation air.
A
dd the Btu/hr of all fuel burning appliances located within the space such as gas furnace, gas water
appliance, etc. Do not include direct vent gas appliances which draw their input and output air from and to the
outdoors.
Unusually tight construction is defined as construction where:
A) Walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapour retarder with a
rating of 1 perm (6 x 10-11 kg per pa-sec-m2) or less with openings 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, between sole
plates and floors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical,
and gas lines, and at other openings.
!
WARNING
IF THE AREA IN WHICH THEAPPLIANCE MAY BE OPERATED IS SMALLER THAN THAT DEFINED AS
AN UNCONFINED SPACE OR IF THE BUILDING IS OF UNUSUALLY TIGHT CONSTRUCTION, PROVIDE
ADEQUATE COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR BY ONE OF THE METHODS DESCRIBED IN THE
NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54 ,AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION, OR THE
APPLICABLE LOCAL CODE.
IF THE AREA IN WHICH THEAPPLIANCE MAY BE OPERATED DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIRED VOLUME
FOR INDOOR COMBUSTION AIR, COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR SHALL BE PROVIDED BY ONE
OF THE METHODS DESCRIBED IN THE ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA 54, THE INTERNATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE,
OR APPLICABLE LOCAL CODES.
3.2 DETERMINING CONFINED OR UNCONFINED SPACE
3.0 INSTALLATION
The GVF40 is rated at 30,000 BTUs per hour for natural gas and 28,500 BTUs for propane and therefore
requires a minimum unconfined space of 1,500 and 1,425 cubic feet respectively.
17.1A
This appliance shall not be installed in a con
fi
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 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 aggregate input rating of all appliances
installed in that space and an unconfined 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 communicating directly with the space in which the appliances are installed, through openings not
furnished with doors are considered a part of the unconfined space.
3.1 COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR PROVISIONS

9
W415-0810 / A / 05.04.10
19.1A
A
n unvented room appliance is recommended for use as a secondary heat source rather than as a primary
source. Gas combustion produces water vapour which could occur at the rate of approximately one ounce of
water for every 1,000 BTU/hr of gas input. During the cold weather season, indoor humidity levels tend to be
low. Consequently, this water vapour can enhance the living space. However if a problem should occur:
A) Ensure sufficient combustion and circulation air
B) Use a dehumidifier
C) Do not use the unvented room appliance as a primary heat source
Without sufficient fresh air for proper operation, poor fuel combustion can result. Carbon Monoxide is a result
of poor combustion.
If additional fresh air is required, use one of the methods described in the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3 or the applicable local code.
Room Volume = Length x Width x Height
Max BTU/hr = Room Volume x 1000 / 50
LENGTH
HEIGHT
ROOM 2
ROOM 1
WIDTH
If for example:
The length of the rooms is 10 feet,
The width of Room 1 is 10 feet,
The width of Room 2 is 15 feet,
The height of the rooms is 8 feet.
The volume of Room 1: 10x10x8 = 800 cubic feet
The volume of Room 2: 10x15x8 = 1200 cubic feet
If there are no more fuel burning appliances within this space then the 30,000 BTU/h input of the appliance is
suitable to be installed. This also assumes that the construction of this space is not unusually tight.
19.3
EXAMPLE 2:
If in this example a solid door separates Room 1 from Room 2, the volume of Room 2 could not be used. In
this case the maximum BTU/h would be:
Maximum BTU/h: 800x1000 = 16,000 BTU/h
50
This would be considered a confined space since it can not support the 30,000 BTU/h input of the appliance
and it would be necessary to provide adequate combustion and ventilation air to Room 1.
19.2
EXAMPLE 1:
In this example, because there is no door to the adjoining room, the volume of the adjoining room may be
added to the volume of the room with the heater to get a total unconfined space.
The total unconfined space: 800 + 1200 = 2000 cubic feet.
Maximum BTU/h: 2000x1000 = 40,000 BTU/h

4.2 COUNTER TOP / BAR INSTALLATION
When finishing the appliance, combustible material may rest
directly on of the top extension.
NOTE: Maximum weight tolerance is 400 lbs, provided
that it is evenly distributed across the top extensions of
the appliance.
In order to achieve a counter top or bar type appearance
with the minimum height allowed, framing must be non-
combustible and may be done with metal studding attached
to the heat shield sides or the upper frame of the appliance.
*The topextension may beremovedif non-combustible fram-
ing is faced with a non-combustible material placed flush with
the front face of the unit and extending from the top of the unit.
(Example:cementboard)(not supplied). Combustible counter/
bar tops must maintain a minimum of 38 inches from the base
of the appliance to the underside of the top.

4.4 FACING
Combustible materials may be installed flush
with the front of the appliance but must not cover
any of the black face-areas of the appliance.
Non-combustible material (brick, stone or
ceramic tile) may protrude in these areas. It is
not necessary to install a hearth extension with
this appliance system.
When roughing in the appliance, raise the
appliance to accommodate for the thickness of
the finished floor materials, i.e. Tile, carpeting,
hard wood, which if not planned for will interfere
with the opening of the lower access door and
the installation of many decorative flashing
accessories.

WARNING
RISK OF FIRE!
IN ORDER TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF EXPOSED INSULATION OR VAPOUR BARRIER COMING
IN CONTACT WITH THE APPLIANCE BODY, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE WALLS OF THE APPLI-
ANCE ENCLOSURE BE “FINISHED” (IE: DRYWALL / SHEETROCK), AS YOU WOULD FINISH ANY
OTHER OUTSIDE WALL OF A HOME. THIS WILL ENSURE THAT CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES IS
MAINTAINED WITHIN THE CAVITY.
DO NOT NOTCH THE FRAMING AROUND THE APPLIANCE STAND-OFFS. FAILURE TO MAINTAIN AIR
SPACE CLEARANCE MAY CAUSE OVER HEATING AND FIRE. PREVENT CONTACT WITH SAGGING
OR LOOSE INSULATION OR FRAMING AND OTHER COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. BLOCK OPENING
INTO THE CHASE TO PREVENT ENTRY OF BLOWN-IN INSULATION. MAKE SURE INSULATION AND
OTHER MATERIALS ARE SECURED.
WHEN CONSTRUCTING THE ENCLOSURE ALLOW FOR FINISHING MATERIAL THICKNESS TO MAIN-
TAIN CLEARANCES. FRAMING OR FINISHING MATERIAL CLOSER THAN THE MINIMUMS LISTED
MUST BE CONSTRUCTED ENTIRELY OF NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. MATERIALS CONSISTING
ENTIRELY OF STEEL, IRON, BRICK, TILE, CONCRETE, SLATE, GLASS OR PLASTERS, OR ANY COM-
BINATION THEREOF ARE SUITABLE. MATERIALS THAT ARE REPORTED AS PASSING ASTM E 136,
STANDARD TEST METHOD FOR BEHAVIOUR OF MATERIALS IN A VERTICAL TUBE FURNACE AT
750°C AND UL763 SHALL BE CONSIDERED NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.
MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES MUST BE MAINTAINED OR A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD
COULD RESULT.
