PRODUCT FEATURES

SAFETY DEVICEA standard requirement for all vent-free roomheaters. This heater has a pilot with an OxygenDepletion Sensor(ODS) safety shutoff system.The ODS/pilot shuts off the heater if there isnot enough fresh air.

PIEZO IGNITION SYSTEMThis heater is equipped with a piezo ignitor.This system requires no matches, batteries, orother sources to light heater.

THERMOSTATIC HEATCONTROL ON THERMOSTATMODELSThese heaters have a control valve with athermostat sensing bulb. This results in thegreatest heater comfort and may result inlower gas bills.

Figure1-Vent-Free Propane/LP Gas Heater

Water vaporis a by-product of gas combustion.Anunvented room heater productes approximately one (1)ounce (30ml) of water for every 1,000 BTU’s (.3KW’s) ofgas input per hour.Unvented room heaters are recommended assupplemental heat (a room) rather than a primary heatsource (an entire house) .In most supplemental heatapplication, the water vapor does not create a problem.In most applications, the water vapor enhances the lowhumidity atmosphere experienced during cold weather.

WATER VAPOR: A BY-PRODUCT OF UNVENTED ROOM HEATERS

The following steps will help insure that water vapordoes not become a problem.1. Be sure the heater is sized properly for theapplication, including ample combusion air andcirculation air.2. If high humidity is experienced, a dehumidifier maybe used to help lower the water vapor content of theair.3. Do not use an unvented room heater as the primaryheat source.

FRESH AIR FORCOMBUSTION ANDVENTILATION

PROVIDING ADEQUATEVENTILATIONThe following are excerpts fromNational Fuel Gas Code. NFPA54/ANS Z223.1, Section 5.3. Air forCombustion and Ventilation. Allspaces in homes fall into one ofthe three following ventilationclassifications:1. Unusually Tight Construction2. Unconfined Space3. Confined SpaceThe information on pages 4through 6 will help you classifyyour space and provide adequateventilation.

WARNING: This heatershall not be installed in aconfined space or unusuallyt ight construct ion unlessprovisions are provided foradequate combustion andvent i la t ion a i r . Read thef o l l o w i n g i n s t r u c t i o n s t oinsure proper fresh air for thisand other fuel-burning

appliances in your home.

Confined andUnconfined SpaceThe National Fuel Gas Code ANSZ223.1 defines a confined spaceas a space whose volume is lessthan 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu perhour (4.8 m 3 per kw) o f theaggregate input rating of allappliances installed in that spaceand an unconfined space as aspace whose volume is not lessthan 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu perhour (4.8 m3 per kw) of theaggregate input rating of allappliances installed in that space.Rooms communicating directly witht h e s p a c e i n w h i c h t h eappliances are installed*, throughopenings not furnished with doors,are considered a part of theunconfined space.This heater shall not be installedin a confined space or unusuallyt i g h t c o n s t r u c t i o n u n l e s sprovis ions are provided foradequate combustion andventilation ai r.

* A d j o i n i n g r o o m s a r ecommunicating only if there aredoorless passageways or ventila-tion grills between them.

WARNING: If the area in which the heater may be operated is smaller than that defined as anunconfined space or if the building is of unusually tight construction, provide adequate combustion andventilation air by one of the methods described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANS Z223.1, Section 5.3or applicable local codes.

Unusually Tight ConstructionThe air that leaks around doors andwindows may provide enough freshair for combustion and ventilation.However, in buildings of unusuallytight construction, you must provideadditional fresh air.Unusually tight construction isdefined as construction where:a. walls and ceilings exposed tothe outside atmosphere have acontinuous water vapor retarderwith a rating of one perm (6×10-11 kgper pa-sec-m2) or less withopenings gasketed or sealed andb. weather stripping has beenadded on openable windows anddoors andc. caulking or sealants are appliedto areas such as joints aroundwindow and door frames, betweensole plates and floors, betweenwall-ceiling joints, between wallpanels, at penetrations for plumbing,electrical, and gas lines, and atother openings. If your home meetsall of the three criteria above, youmust provide additional fresh air.See Ventilation Air From Outdoors,page 6.If your home does not meet all ofthe three criteria above, seeDetermining Fresh-Air Flow forHeater Location, page 5.

DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR HEATER LOCATIONDetermining if you have a Confined 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 heater plus any adjoining rooms with doorless passagewaysor ventilation grills between the rooms.1. Determine the volume of the space (length×width×height). Length×Width×Height= cu.ft. (volume of space) Example: Space size20ft. (length)×16ft.( width)×8ft. (ceiling height)=2560cu. ft. (volume of space)If additional ventilation to adjoining room is supplied with grills or openings, add the volume of these roomsto the total volume of the space.2. Divide the space volume by 50 cubic feet 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)

WARNING: Rework worksheet, add-ing the space of the adjoiningunconfined space. The combined spacesmust have enough fresh air to supply allappliances in both spaces.

VENTILATION AIRVentilation Air From Inside BuildingThis fresh air would come from an adjoiningunconfined space. When ventilating to anadjoining unconfined space, you mustprovide two permanent openings: one within12" of the ceiling and one within 12" of thefloor on the wall connecting the two spaces(see options 1 and 2, Figure 2). You can alsoremove door into adjoining room (see option3, Figure 2). Follow the National Fuel GasCode NFPA 54/ANS Z223.1. Section 5.3, Airfor Combustion and Ventilation for requiredsize of ventilation grills or ducts

If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support, the space is anunconfined space. You will need no additional fresh air ventilation.

Example: Gas water heater 40,000 Btu/Hr Vent free heater + 18,000 Btu/Hr Total = 58,000 Btu/Hr

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 Gas Fireplace logs Btu/Hr Other gas appliances* + Btu/Hr Total = 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) 58,000 Btu/Hr(actual amount of Btu/Hr used)The space in the above example is a confined space because the actual Btu/Hr used is more than themaximum 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 unconfinedspace, remove door to adjoining room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See Ventilation Air Frominside Building, page 5.B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors, page 6 .C. Install a lower Btu/Hr heater, if lower Btu/Hr size makes room unconfined.

CLEANING ODS/PILOT ANDBURNER� Use a vacuum cleaner,

pressurized air. or small, soft bristled brush to clean.

CLEANING BURNERPILOT AIR INLET HOLEWe recommend that you clean theunit every 2,500 hours of operation orevery three months. We alsorecommend that you keep the burnertube and pilot assembly clean andfree of dust and dirt. To clean theseparts we recommend using com-pressed air no greater than 30 PSl.Your local computer store, hardwarestore, or home center may carry com-pressed air in a can. You can use avacuum 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 thecan, you could damage the pilotassembly.1. Shut off the unit, including the

pilot. Allow the unit to cool for at least thirty minutes.2. Inspect burner, pilot for dust and dirt.3. Blow air through the ports/slots and holes in the burner.Clean the pilot assembly also. Ayellow tip on the pilot flameindicates dust and dirt in the pilotassembly. There is a small pilot airinlet hole about two inches fromwhere the pilot flame comes out ofthe pilot assembly (see Figure 27).With the unit off, lightly blow airthrough the air inlet hole. You mayblow through a drinking straw ifcompressed air is not available.

Figure 27 - Pilot Inlet Air Hole

CLEANING HEATER CABINETAir Passageways� Use a vacuum cleaner or pressurized air to clean.Exterior� Use a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water mixture. Wipe the cabinet to remove dust.

�MANUAL LIGHTING�PROCEDURE

PILOT FLAME PATTERNFigure 23 shows a correct pilotflame pattern. Figure 24 shows anincorrect pilot flame pattern. Theincorrect pilot flame is not touchingthermocouple. This will cause thethermocouple to cool. When thethermocouple cools, the healer willshut down. If pilot flame pattern isincorrect, as shown in Figure 24.� turn heater off (see To Turn

Off Gas to Appliance. page 11for non-thermostat models or

page 12 for thermostat models.)� see Troubleshooting, pages 14 through 16.

WARNING: Turn off heaterand let cool before servicing.

CAUTION: You must keep con-trol areas, burner, and circulatingair passageways of heater clean.Inspect these areas of heater be-fore each use. Have heater In-spected yearly by a qualified ser-vice person. Heater may need morefrequent cleaning due to excessivel int f rom carpeting, beddingmaterial, pet hair, etc.

�THERMOSTAT�CONTROL OPERATION

The thermostatic control used onthese Models differs from standardthermostats.Standard thermostats sim-ply turn on and off the burner. Thethermostat used on this heatersenses the room temperature. Attimes the room may exceed the settemperature.If so, the burner willshut off.The burner will cycle backon when room temperature dropsbelow the set temperature. Thetemperature setting knob can be setto any comfort level between HIand LO.Note: The thermostat sensing bulbmeasures the temperature of air nearthe heater cabinet. This may not al-ways agree with room temperature(depending on housing construction,installation location, room size, openair temperatures, etc.)Frequent use ofyour heater will let you determineyour own comfort levels.
