State of Massachusetts: The installation
must be made by a licensed plumber or
gas tter in the Commonwealth of Mas-
sachusetts.
Sellers of unvented propane or natural
gas-red supplemental room heaters shall
provide to each purchaser a copy of 527
CMR 30 upon sale of the unit.
In the State of Massachusetts the gas
cock must be a T-handle type. The State
of Massachusetts requires that a exible

UNPACKING
1. Remove heater from carton.
2. Remove all protective packaging applied
to heater for shipping
3. Check heater for any shipping damage. If
heater is damaged, promptly inform dealer
where you bought heater.
Water vapor is a by-product of gas combus-
tion. An unvented room heater produces ap-
proximately one (1) ounce (30 mL) of water for
every 1,000 BTUs (0.3 KWs) of gas input per
hour. Unvented room heaters are recommended
as supplemental heat (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 sized properly for the
application, including ample combustion
air and circulation air.
2. If high humidity is experienced, a dehu-
midi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.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
WARNING: 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. Read the following
instructionstoinsure properfresh
air for this and other fuel-burning
appliances in your home.
Today’s homes are built more energy efcient
than ever. New materials, increased insulation
and new construction methods help reduce
The following are excerpts from National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for
Combustion and Ventilation.
All spaces in homes fall into one of the three
following ventilation classications:
heat loss in homes. Home owners weather
strip and caulk around windows and doors
to keep the cold air out and the warm air in.
During heating months, home owners want
their homes as airtight as possible.
While it is good to make your home energy
efcient, your home needs to breathe. Fresh
air must enter your home. All fuel-burning ap-
pliances need fresh air for proper combustion
and ventilation.
Exhaust fans, replaces, clothes dryers and
fuel burning appliances draw air from the house
to operate. You must provide adequate fresh
air for these appliances. This will insure proper
venting of vented fuel-burning appliances.
PROVIDING ADEQUATE VENTILATION
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.
Unusually Tight Construction
The air that leaks around doors and windows may
provide enough fresh air for combustion and ven-
tilation. 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
(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 oors,
between wall-ceiling joints, between wall
panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electri-
cal and gas lines and at other openings.
If your home meets all of these three criteria,
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, page 8.
Conned and Unconned Space
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/hr (4.8 m3 per 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/hr (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 unconned space.
* Adjoining rooms are communicating only if
there are doorless passageways or ventilation
grills between them.

Use this work sheet 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
x width x height).
Length x Width x Height =__________
cu. ft. (volume of space)
Example: Space size 20 ft. (6.1 m)
(length) x 16 ft. (4.88 m) (width) x
8 ft. (2.44 m) (ceiling height) = 2560 cu.
ft. (72.49 m3) (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. Multiply the space volume by 20 to deter-
mine the maximum Btu/Hr the space can
support.
________(volume of space) x 20 =
(Maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)
Example: 2560 cu. ft. (72.49 m3) (volume
of space) x 20 = 51,200 (maximum Btu/
Hr the space can support)
3. Add the Btu/Hr of all fuel burning appli-
ances in the space.
Vent-free heater _________ Btu/Hr
Gas water heater* _________ Btu/Hr
Gas furnace _________ Btu/Hr
Vented gas heater _________ Btu/Hr
Gas replace logs _________ Btu/Hr
Other gas appliances*+ _______ Btu/Hr
Total = ________ Btu/Hr
* Do not include direct-vent gas appli-
ances. Direct-vent draws combustion
air from the outdoors and vents to the
outdoors.

DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR HEATER LOCATION
Determining if You Have a Conned or Unconned Space
Example:
Gas water heater __________ Btu/Hr
Vent-free heater + _________ Btu/Hr
Total = _________ Btu/Hr
4. Compare the maximum Btu/Hr the space
can support with the actual amount of Btu/
Hr used.
_______Btu/Hr (maximum can support)
_______Btu/Hr (actual amount 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 sup-
port. 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 ac-
tual 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.

items directly to the outdoors or spaces open
to the outdoors. These spaces include attics
and crawl spaces. Follow the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for
Combustion and Ventilation for required size
of ventilation grills or ducts.
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, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the International Fuel Gas Code,
or applicable local codes.
VENTILATION AIR
Ventilation Air From Inside Building
This fresh air would come from an adjoining unconned space. When ventilating to an adjoining
unconned space, you must provide two permanent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling
and one within 12" of the oor on the wall connecting the two spaces (see options 1 and 2,
Figure 2). You can also remove door into adjoining room (see option 3, Figure 2). Follow the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for Combustion and Ventilation for required
size of ventilation grills or ducts.
Ventilation Air From Outdoors
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.

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 over-
tighten gas connections.
CAUTION: Use only new,
black iron or steel pipe. Inter-
nally tinned copper tubing may
be used in certain areas. Check
your local codes. Use pipe of
1/2" diameter or greater to allow
proper gas volume to heater. If
pipe is too small, undue loss of
pressure will occur.
CAUTION: Check your gas
line pressure before connect-
ing heater to gas line. Gas line
pressure must be no greater than
10.5" of water. If gas line pres-
sure is higher, heater regulator
damage could occur.
CAUTION: Avoid damage to
regulator. Hold gas regulator
with wrench when connecting
into gas piping and/or ttings.

INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Use pipe joint
sealant that is resistant to gas.
Before installing heater, make sure you have
the items listed below:
• external regulator for propane/LP unit only
(supplied by installer)
• piping (check local codes)
• sealant (resistant to natural gas and pro-
pane/LP gas)
• equipment shutoff valve*
• test gauge connection*
• sediment trap
• tee joint
• pipe wrench
• exible gas hose (check local codes)
* A CSA design-certied equipment shutoff
valve with 1/8” NPT tap is an acceptable al-
ternative to test gauge connection. Purchase
the optional CSA design certied equipment
shutoff valve from your dealer.
Typical Inlet Pipe Diameters
Models up to 20,000 BTU/hr use 3/8" black
iron pipe or greater. Models 25,000 BTU/hr
and higher use 1/2" black iron pipe or greater.
Installation must include an equipment shutoff
valve, union, and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Lo-
cate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook
up. NPT tap must be upstream from heater
(see Figure 12).
IMPORTANT: Install an equipment shutoff
valve in an accessible location. The equip-
ment 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.
Install sediment trap in supply line as shown
in Figure 12. 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 contami-
nants. This keeps them from going into heater
controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is
installed wrong, heater may not run properly.

The thermostatic control used on these mod-
els differ 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 between HI and LO.
Note: The thermostat sensing bulb measures
the temperature of air near the heater cabinet.
This may not always agree with room tem-
perature (depending on housing construction,
installation location, room size, open air tem-
peratures, etc.) Frequent use of your heater
will let you determine your own comfort levels.
4. Keep control knob pressed in for 30 sec-
onds after lighting pilot. After 30 seconds,
release control knob. Follow step 8 under

Figure 21 shows a correct pilot ame pattern.
Figure 22 shows an incorrect pilot ame pat-
tern. The incorrect pilot ame is not touching
the thermocouple. This will cause the ther-
mocouple to cool, which shuts the heater off.
If pilot ame pattern is incorrect, as shown
in Figure 22
• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Ap-
pliance, page 18)
• see Troubleshooting pages 21 through 23.
WARNING: If yellow tipping
occurs, your heater could pro-
duce increased levels of carbon
monoxide. If the burner ame
pattern shows yellow tipping,
follow instructions below.
Figure 21 - Correct Pilot Flame Pattern
Figure 22 - Incorrect Pilot Flame Pattern
IMPORTANT: Owner’s should check pilot ame pattern and burner ame pattern often.
Incorrect ame patterns indicate the need for cleaning (see Care and Maintenance,
page 20) or service.
WARNING: Only a qualied service person should service and
repair heater. This includes maintenance requiring replacement or
alteration of components.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Notice: Do not mistake orange ames with
yellow tipping. Dirt or other ne particles enter
the heater and burn causing brief patches of
orange ame.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Turn off heater and let cool before servicing.
CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burner, and circulating
air passageways of heater clean. Inspect these areas of heater before
each use. Have heater inspected yearly by a qualied service techni-
cian. Heater may need more frequent cleaning due to excessive lint
from carpeting, bedding material, pet hair, etc.
WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air opening(s) of the
burner(s) clean may result in sooting and property damage.
The primary air inlet hole allows the proper
amount of air to mix with the gas. This pro-
vides a clean burning ame. Keep this hole
clear of dust, dirt and lint. Clean this air inlet
hole prior to each heating season. A blocked
air hole will create soot. We recommend that
you clean the unit every three months during
operation and have heater inspected yearly
by a qualied service person.
We also recommend that you keep the burner
tube and pilot assembly clean and free of dust
and dirt. To clean these parts we recommend
using compressed air no greater than 30 PSl.
Your local computer store, hardware store,
or home center may carry compressed air in
a can. You can use a vacuum cleaner in the
blow position. If using compressed air in a
can, please follow the directions on the can.
If you don’t follow directions on the can, you
could damage the pilot assembly.
1. Shut off the unit, including the pilot. Allow
the unit to cool for at least thirty minutes.
2. Inspect burner and pilot for dust and dirt.
CABINET
Air Passageways
Use pressurized air to clean.
Exterior
Use a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water mixture. Wipe the cabinet to remove dust.

BURNER PILOT AIR INLET
3. Blow air across the ports/slots and holes
in the burner.
4. Never insert objects into the pilot tube.
Clean the pilot assembly also. A yellow tip on
the pilot ame indicates dust and dirt in the
pilot assembly. There is a small pilot air inlet
about 2" from where the pilot ame comes out
of the pilot assembly (see Figure 25). With
the unit off, lightly blow air through the air
inlet. You may blow through a drinking straw
if compressed air is not available.
