PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION
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. An unvented room heater is recommended 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, a dehumidier 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.
1. Remove top inner pack.
2. Tilt carton so that heater is upright.
3. Remove protective side packaging.
4. Slide heater out of carton.
5. Remove protective plastic wrap.
6. Remove screws on the top of the screen
7. Hold the screen, lift, and pull forward.
8. Remove log set by cutting plastic ties.
9. Carefully unwrap log.
10. Check for any shipping damage. If heater or log is damaged, promptly inform your
dealer where you bought the heater.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
WARNING: This heater should not be installed in a conned 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 classications:
1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconned Space
3. Conned Space
The information on pages 8 through 9 will help you classify your space and provide
adequate ventilation.
Conned and Unconned Space
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANS Z223.1 denes a conned 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 unconning 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 unconned space.
This heater shall not be installed in a conned 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 dened 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
-11
kg per pa-sec-m
2
) 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 10). If your home does not meet all of the
three criteria above, proceed to “Determining Fresh-Air Flow For Heater Location”.
9
DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR HEATER LOCATION
Determining if You Have a Conned or Unconned Space
Use this worksheet to determine if you have a conned or unconned space.
Space: Includes the room in which you will install heater plus any adjoining rooms with
door-less 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 conned 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 unconned space, remove door to adjoining room or add ventilation
grills between rooms. See “Ventilation Air From Inside Building,” page 10.
b) Vent room directly to the outdoors. See “Ventilation Air From Outdoors”, page 10.
c) Install a lower BTU/hr heater if lower BTU/hr size makes room unconned. If the
actual BTU/hr used is less than the maximum BTU/hr the space can support, the
space is an unconned space. You will need no additional fresh air ventilation.
10
Ventilation Air From Outdoors
Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation
grills or duct. You must provide two
permanent openings: one within 12 in. of
the ceiling and one within 12 in. 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
unconned space. When ventilating to an
adjoining unconned space, you must
provide two permanent openings: one
within 12 in. of the wall connecting
the two spaces (see options 1 and 2,
Fig. 2). You can also remove door into
adjoining room (see option 3, Fig. 2).
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 unconned space.
The combined spaces must have enough
fresh air to supply all appliances in both
spaces.

Outdoors
WARNING: If the area in which the heater may be operated is smaller than that dened as
an unconned 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.
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.

INSTALLATION
NOTICE: This heater is intended for use as supplemental heat. Use this heater along
with your primary heating system. Do not install this heater as your primary heat source.
If you have a central heating system, you may run system’s circulating blower while
using heater. This will help circulate the heat throughout the house.
WARNING: A qualied technician must install heater. Follow all local codes.
WARNING: Never install the heater:
• in a bedroom or bathroom
• in a recreational vehicle
• where curtains, furniture, clothing, or other ammable objects are less than 42
in. from the front, top or sides of the heater.
• in high trafc areas
• in windy or drafty areas
CAUTION: This heater creates warm air currents. These currents move heat to wall surfaces
next to heater. Installing heater next to vinyl or cloth wall coverings or operating heater where
impurities (such as tobacco smoke, aromatic candles, cleaning uids, oil or kerosene lamps,
etc.) in the air exist, may cause walls discolored.
WARNING: Maintain the minimum clearances. If you can, provide greater clearances from
oor, ceiling and adjoining side and back walls.
IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters add moisture to the air. Although this is benecial, installing
heater in rooms without enough ventilation air may cause mildew to form from too much
moisture. See Air for Combustion and Ventilation, pages 8 through 10.
CHECK GAS TYPE
Use only the type of gas indicated on the plate. If your gas supply cannot meet that
requirement, do not install heater.
CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES
Carefully follow the instructions below. This heater is a wall mount unit designed to sit directly
on the oor or on a mantel base.
IMPORTANT: You must maintain minimum wall and ceiling clearances during installation. The
minimum clearances are shown in Fig. 4. Measure from outermost point of heater.
Minimum Wall and Ceiling Clearances (see Fig. 4)
A. Clearances from outermost point of heater to any
combustible side wall should not be less than 12

CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY
WARNING: A qualied technician must connect heater to gas supply. Follow all local
codes.
WARNING: This appliance requires a 3/8 in. NPT inlet connection to pressure regulator
(see Fig. 5).
CAUTION: Never connect heater directly to the gas supply. This heater requires an external
regulator (not supplied). The external regulator between the gas supply and heater must be
installed. Gas supplier provides external regulator for natural gas.
INSTALLATION ITEMS NEEDED
Before installing heater, make sure you have the items listed below.
• piping (check local codes) sealant
• (resistant to propane/LP gas)
• equipment shutoff valve*
• test gauge connection**
• sediment trap
• tee joint
• pipe wrench
• exible gas hose (check local code)
A CSA design-certied equipment shutoff valve with 1/8 in. NPT tap is an acceptable alternative
to test gauge connection. Purchase the optional CSA design certied equipment shutoff valve
from your dealer.
WARNING: Never connect heater to private (non-utility) gas wells. This gas is commonly
known as wellhead gas.
The installer must supply an external regulator for liquid propane. The external regulator is
provided by the gas supplier for natural gas. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas
pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11 and 14 in. of water column
for propane and between 5 and 10.5 in. of water column for natural gas. 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. 6. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or
sleet.

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 ½ in. diameter
or greater to allow proper volume gas to heater. If pipe is too small, loss of pressure
will occur. Installation must include an equipment shutoff valve, union, and plugged
1/8-in. NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must
be upstream from heater (see Fig. 7).
IMPORTANT: Install 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.
CAUTION: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to gas (PROPANE or NG). We
recommend that you install a sediment trap in a supply line as shown in Fig. 7.
Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for cleaning and not likely to freeze.
Install in the piping system between fuel supply and heater. A sediment trap traps
moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into heater controls. If
sediment trap is not installed or is installed incorrectly, heater may not run properly.
CAUTION: Avoid damage to regulator. Hold gas regulator with wrench when
connecting into gas piping and/or ttings. NG Models: 5 in. to 10.5 in. W.C. Gas
supplier provides external regulator for natural gas.

is installed before running heater.
3. Turn control knob clockwise to the OFF position, see Fig. 15, page 20.
4. Wait ve (5) minutes to clear out any gas. Then smell for gas around heater and
near oor. If you smell gas, STOP! Follow "B" in the safety information on Warnings
plate. If you don't smell gas, go to the next step.
5. Turn control knob counterclockwise to the PILOT position. Keep control knob
pressed in for ve (5) seconds.
Note: You may be running this heater for the rst time after hooking up to gas supply.
If so, the control knob may need to be pressed in for 30 seconds. This will allow air
to bleed from the gas system. If control knob does not pop up when released, contact
a qualied service person or gas supplier for repairs.
6. With control knob pressed in, push down and release ignitor button. This will light
pilot.The pilot is attached to the rear of the front burner. If needed, keep pressing
ignitor button until pilot lights.
Note: If pilot does not stay lit, contact a qualied service person or gas supplier
for repairs. Until repairs are made, light pilot with match.
7. Keep control knob pressed in for 30 seconds after lighting pilot. After 30 seconds,
release control knob.
Note: If pilot goes out, repeat steps 3 through 7. This heater has a safety interlock
system. Wait one (1) minute before lighting pilot again.
8. WARNING: Make sure that while the input gas type is NG, pilot burner NG ignites;
while the input type is LP, pilot burner LP ignites. Note: If you nd anything abnormal
in this step, repeat steps 2 through 8.
9. Turn control knob counterclockwise to the desired heating level. The main burner
should light. Set control knob to any heat level between HI and LO (5 –1).
THERMOSTATIC 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 between HIGH (5) and LOW (1).
Note: The thermostat sensing bulb measures the temperature depending on housing
construction.

INSPECTING BURNERS
Check pilot ame pattern and burner ame patterns often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
1. Turn control knob to pilot position.
2. Inspect pilot ame and refer to Fig. 16 and 17.
• Fig. 16 shows a correct pilot ame pattern.
• Fig. 17 shows an incorrect pilot ame pattern. The incorrect pilot ame is not touching the
thermocouple. This will cause the thermocouple to cool. When the thermocouple cools, the
heater will shut down.
• If the pilot ame is incorrect, as shown in Fig. 17, turn heater off (see “To Turn Off Gas to
Appliance, " page 20). See Troubleshooting, page 24 - 26.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING BURNER INJECTOR HOLDER AND PILOT AIR INLET HOLE
We recommend that you clean the unit every three months or after 2,500 hours of operation.
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 PSI.
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, pilot, and primary air inlet
holes on injector holder for dust and dirt
(see Fig. 20).
3. Blow air through the ports/slots and holes
in the burner.
4. Check the injector holder located at the end
of the burner tube again. Remove any large
particles of dust, dirt, lint, or pet hair with a
soft cloth or vacuum cleaner nozzle.
5. Blow air into the primary air holes on the injector holder.
6. In case any large clumps of dust have now been pushed into the burner. Repeat steps 3
and 4. Clean the pilot assembly also.
WARNING: Failure to keep primary air openings of burners clean may result in sooting and
property damage.
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
qualied service person. Heater may need more frequent cleaning due to excessive lint
from carpeting, bedding material, pet hair, etc.
The primary air inlet holes allow the proper amount of air to mix with the gas. This provides a
clean burning ame. Keep these holes clear of dust, dirt, and lint. Clean these air inlet holes
prior to each heating season. Blocked air holes will create soot. We recommend that you clean
the unit every 2,500 hours of operation or every three months.
MAIN BURNER
Periodically inspect all burner ame holes with the heater running. All slotted burner ame
holes should be open with yellow ame present. All round burner ame holes should be open
with a small blue ame present. Some burner ame holes may become blocked by debris or
rust, with no ame present. If so, turn off heater and let cool, either remove blockage or replace
burner. Blocked burner ame holes will create soot.
