3. Check heater for any shipping damage. If heater is damaged, promptly inform
dealer where you bought heater.
WATER VAPOR: A BY-PRODUCT OF UNVENTED ROOM HEATERS
Water vapor is a by-product of gas combustion. An unvented room heater produces
approximately one (1) ounce (30 mL) of water for every 1,000 BTUs (.3 kw) of gas input
per hour. Use an unvented room heater as a supplemental heater (a room) rather than a
primary heat source (an entire house). In most supplemental heat applications, the water
vapor does not create a problem. In most applications, the water vapor enhances the low
humidity atmosphere experienced during cold weather.
The following steps will help ensure that water vapor does not become a problem:
1. Be sure the heater is the proper size for the application, including adequate
combustion air and circulation air.
2. If there is high humidity, the dehumidier may be used to help lower the water vapor
content of the air.
3. Do not use an unvented room heater as the primary heat source.

7
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
WARNING: This heater should not be installed in a conned space or unusually tight
construction unless provisions are provided for adequate combustion and ventilation
air. Read the following instructions to ensure proper fresh air for this and other fuel burning
appliances in your home.
PRODUCING ADEQUATE VENTILATION
This heater shall not be installed in a room or space unless the required volume of 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.
The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1,Section
5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation. All spaces in homes fall into one of the three
following ventilation classications:
1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconned Space
3. Conned Space
The information on pages 7 through 9 will help you classify your space and provide
adequate ventilation.
Conned and Unconned Space
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANS Z223.1 denes a conned space as a space whose
volume is less than 50 cu. ft. per 1,000 BTU/hr (4.8 m^3 per kw) of the aggregate input
rating of all appliances installed in that space and an unconning space as a space
whose volume is not less than 50 cu. ft. per 1,000 BTU/hr (4.8 m^3 per kw) of the
aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space. Rooms connecting
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.
This heater should not be installed in a conned space or unusually tight construction
unless provisions are provided for adequate combustion and ventilation air.
* Adjoining rooms are connecting only if there are doorless passageways or
ventilation grills between them
Unusually Tight Construction
The air that leaks around doors and windows may provide enough fresh air for
combustion and ventilation. However, in buildings of unusually tight construction, you
must provide additional fresh air.
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 one perm (6x10-11kg per pa-sec-m2) or less with openings
gasketed or sealed and
b) weather stripping has been added on windows that can be opened and on 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.
If your home meets all of the three criteria above, you must provide additional fresh air.
See “Ventilation Air From Outdoors” (page 9). If your home does not meet all of the
three criteria above, proceed to “Determining Fresh-Air Flow For Heater Location”.

8
DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR HEATER LOCATION
Determining if You Have a Conned or Unconned Space
Use this worksheet to determine if you have a conned or unconned space.
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 × Width × Height = cu. ft. (volume of space)
Example: Space size 20 ft. (length) × 16 ft.(width) × 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. Divide the space volume by 50 cu. ft. to determine the maximum BTU/hr the space
can support.
_______ (volume of space) ÷ 50 cu. ft.= (Maximum BTU/hr the space can support)
Example: 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space) ÷ 50 cu. ft. = 51.2 or 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 Example:
Gas heater logs BTU/hr Gas water heater 30,000 BTU/hr
Other gas appliances*+ BTU/hr Vent-free heater + 26,000 BTU/hr
Total = BTU/hr Total = 56,000 BTU/hr
*Do not include direct-vent gas appliances. Direct-vent draws combustion air from the
outdoors and vents to the outdoors.
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)
56,000 BTU/hr (actual amount of BTU/hr used)
The space in the above example is a conned 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 unconned space, remove door to adjoining room or add ventilation
grills between rooms. See “Ventilation Air From Inside Building,” page 9.
b) Vent room directly to the outdoors. See “Ventilation Air From Outdoors,” Page 9.
c) Install a lower BTU/hr heater if lower BTU/hr size makes room unconned. If the
actual BTU/hr used is less than the maximum BTU/hr the space can support, the
space is an unconned space. You will need no additional fresh air ventilation.

9
WARNING: 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 construction, provide adequate
combustion and ventilation air by one of the methods described in the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANS Z223.1, Section 5.3 or applicable local codes.
Ventilation Air From Outdoors
Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation
grills or duct. You must provide two
permanent openings: one within 12 inches
of the ceiling and one within 12 inches 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
NFPA 54/ANS Z223.1. Air for Combustion
and Ventilation for required size
of ventilation grills or ducts.
Ventilation Air From Inside Building
This fresh air would come from adjoining
unconned space. When ventilating to an
adjoining unconned space, you must
provide two permanent openings: one
within 12 inches of the wall connecting
the two spaces (see options 1 and 2,
Fig. 1). You can also remove door into
adjoining room (see option 3, Fig. 1).
Follow the National Fuel Gas Code
NFPA 54/ANS Z223.1. Air for Combustion
and Ventilation for 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. Rework worksheet, adding the
space of the adjoining unconned space.
The combined spaces must have enough
fresh air to supply all appliances in both
spaces.

Fig. 2 - Ventilation Air from Outdoors
WARNING: If the area in which the heater 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 NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the
INTERNATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE, or applicable local codes.

WARNING: A qualied service technician must connect heater to gas supply. Follow all
local codes.
WARNING: This appliance requires a 3/8-inch NPT (National Pipe Thread) inlet
connection to the pressure regulator.
WARNING: Never connect heater to private (non-utility) gas wells. This gas is commonly
known as wellhead gas.
WARNING: Do not overtighten gas connections.
CAUTION: Use only new, black iron or steel pipe. Internally tinned copper tubing may
be used in certain areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of 1/2-in. diameter or
greater to allow proper gas volume to heater. If pipe is too small, undue loss of
pressure will occur.
NATURAL GAS MODELS:
CAUTION: Check your gas line pressure before connecting heater to gas line. Gas line
pressure must be no greater than 10.5 inches of water. If gas line pressure is higher,
heater regulator damage could occur.
PROPANE MODELS:
CAUTION: Never connect heater directly to the gas supply. This heater requires an
external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator between the heater and
gas supply.
CAUTION: Avoid damage to regulator. Hold gas regulator with wrench when
connecting into gas piping and/or ttings.
CAUTION: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to gas (Propane or Natural Gas).
CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY
Typical Inlet Pipe Diameters
Use 3/8-inch black iron pipe or greater. Installation must include an equipment shutoff
valve, union, and plugged 1/8-inch NPT tap.
Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from
heater (see Fig. 11).
IMPORTANT: Install an equipment shutoff valve in an accessible location. The
equipment shutoff valve is for turning on or shutting off the gas to the appliance.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads. This will prevent excess sealant from
going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result in clogged heater valves.

* Purchase the optional CSA design-certied equipment shutoff valve from your dealer.
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 inches of water. If you do not reduce incoming
gas pressure, heater regulator damage could occur.
Install external regulator with the vent pointing down
as shown in Fig. 12. Pointing the vent down protects it
from freezing rain or sleet.
Install sediment trap in supply line as shown in Fig.
11. Place sediment trap where it is within reach for
cleaning. Place 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 of Base Feet
Before installing heater to the base, please make sure
you have the following items:
(2) Base Feet, (4) Sheet Metal Screws. (Fig. 13)
Installation Procedure:
1. Set back of heater on table with the bottom of heater
extending outside the table edge.
2. Fasten Base Feet to heater using Sheet Metal
Screws.

OPERATION
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING
WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a re or explosion may result
causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
NOTICE: During initial operation of new heater, burning logs will give off a paper
burning smell. Orange ame will also be present. Open a window to vent smell. This
will last only few hours.
CAUTION: Do not try to adjust heating levels by using the equipment shutoff valve.
A. This appliance has a pilot which must be lighted by the electronic ignitor. When
lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.
B. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to
the oor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the oor.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s
instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the re department
C. Use only your hand to push control. Never use tools. If the appliance does not operate,
don’t try to repair it. Call a qualied service technician or gas supplier.
Forced or attempted repair may result in re or explosion.
D. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a
qualied service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the
control system and any gas control, which has been under water.
Note: Please wait one minute after shutting off replace to allow the control valve to reset
before starting again.

THERMOSTAT CONTROL OPERATION
The thermostatic control used on this model differs from standard thermostats. Standard
thermostats simply turn the burner on and off. The thermostat used on this heater senses the
room temperature. At times the room may exceed the set temperature. If so, the burner will shut
off. The burner will cycle back on when room temperature drops below the set temperature. The
control knob can be set to any comfort level HIGH (5) and LOW (1).
Shutting Off Heater
Turn control knob clockwise to the OFF position.
Shutting Off Burner Only (pilot stays lit )
Turn control knob clockwise to the PILOT position.
CAUTION: Do not try to adjust heating
levels by using the equipment shutoff valve.

INSPECTING BURNERS
Check pilot ame pattern and burner ame patterns often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Fig. 18 shows a correct pilot ame pattern. Fig. 19 shows a incorrect pilot ame pattern. The
incorrect pilot ame is not touching the thermocouple. This will cause the thermocouple to cool,
which shuts the heater off. If pilot ame pattern is incorrect:
• turn heater off (see “To Turn Off Gas to Appliance” on page 19)
• see Troubleshooting pages 22 through 24.
