QUALIFIED INSTALLING AGENCY
Only a qualied agency should install and
replace gas piping, gas utilization equipment
or accessories, and repair and equipment ser-
vicing. The term “qualied agency” means any
individual, rm, corporation, or company that
either in person or through a representative
is engaged in and is responsible for:
a) Installing, testing, or replacing gas piping
or
b) Connecting, installing, testing, repairing,
or servicing equipment; that is experienced
in such work; that is familiar with all precau-
tions required; and that has complied with
all the requirement of the authority having
jurisdiction.
In areas that prohibit the use of vent-free
heaters, the log set has been tested and
approved to the ANSI Z21.60 standard for
Vented Decorative Logs. When used as a
vented log set refer to additional instructions
on page 11.
WATER VAPOR: A BY-PRODUCT OF
UNVENTED ROOM HEATERS
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 recom-
mended 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-
midier 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 conned
space or unusually tight con-
struction unless provisions are
provided for adequate combus-
tion and ventilation air. Read the
following instructions to insure
proper fresh air for this and
other fuel-burning appliances
in your home.
Today’s homes are built more energy efcient
than ever. New materials, increased insulation
and new construction methods help reduce
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
efcient, 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 appli-
ances.
WARNING: 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.
