AIR FOR  
COMBUSTION  
AND  
WARNING  
WARNING ICON  
G
001  
This heater shall not be installed in a confined space unless  
provisions are provided for adequate combustion and ventilation  
air. Read the following instructions to insure proper fresh air for  
this and other fuel-burning appliances in your home.  
VENTILATION  
Today’s homes are built more energy efficient 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 efficient, your home needs to breathe.  
Fresh air must enter your home. All fuel-burning appliances need fresh air for  
proper combustion and ventilation.  
Exhaust fans, fireplaces, 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  
The following is exerpts 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 classifications:  
1. Unusually Tight Contruction; 2. Unconfined Space; 3. Confined Space.  
The information on pages 5 through 8 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 ventilation. However, in buildings of unusually tight construction,  
you must provide additional fresh air.  
Unusually tight construction is defined as construction where:  
a. walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere have a continu-  
ous water vapor retarder with a rating of one perm (6x10-11 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 floors, 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 addi-  
tional fresh air. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors, page 8.  
If your home does not meet all of the three criteria above, proceed to page 6.  
Confined and Unconfined Spaces  
The National Fuel Gas Code defines a confined space as a space whose volume  
is less than 50 cubic feet per 1000 Btu per hour (4.8 cubic meters per kw) of the  
aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space and an unconfined  
space as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1000 Btu per  
hour (4.8 cubic meters 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 unconfined space.

DETERMINING AIR FLOW FOR HEATER LOCATION  
AIR FOR  
COMBUSTION  
AND  
Determining 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 passageways or ventilation grills between the rooms.  
VENTILATION  
1. Determine the volume of the space (length x width x height).  
Continued  
Length x Width x Height =  
___________________  
cu. ft. (volume of space)  
Example: Space size 18 ft. (length) x 16 ft. (width) x 8 ft. (ceiling height) =  
2304 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 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: 2304 cu. ft. (volume of space) ÷ 50 cu. ft. = 46.1 or 46,100 (maximum Btu/Hr the  
space can support)  
3. Add the Btu/Hr of all fuel burning appliances in the space.

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: 46,100 Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support)  
50,000 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 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 unconfined space, remove door to adjoining room or add ventilation grills between  
rooms. See Ventilation Air From Inside Building, page 7.  
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors, page 8.  
C. Install a lower Btu/Hr heater, if lower Btu/Hr size makes room unconfined.  
If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support, the space  
is an unconfined space. You will need no additional fresh air ventilation.

Use only new, black iron or steel pipe. Internally-tinned copper  
tubing may be used in certain areas. Check your local codes. Use  
pipe 3/8" diameter or greater to allow proper gas volume to heater.  
If pipe is too small, undue loss of pressure will occur.  
Installation must include a manual shutoff valve, ground joint union, and plugged  
1/8" NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must  
be upstream from heater (see Figure 12, page 14).  
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.

5. Turn control knob counterclockwise  
to the PILOT position. Press  
in control knob for five (5) seconds (see Figure 15, page 16).  
Note: You may be running this heater for the first 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.  
6. With control knob pressed in, push down and release ignitor button. This  
will light pilot. The pilot is attached to the front of burner. The pilot can be  
seen through the glass panel. If needed, keep pressing ignitor button until  
pilot lights.  
Note: If pilot does not stay lit, refer to Troubleshooting, pages 21 through  
24. Also contact a qualified service person or gas supplier for repairs.  
Until repairs are made, light pilot with match. To light pilot with match,  
see Manual Lighting Procedure, page 18.

THERMOSTAT CONTROL OPERATION  
The thermostatic control used on these models differs from standard thermo-  
stats. Standard thermostats simply turn on and off the burner. The thermostat  
used on this heater senses the room temperature. The thermostat adjusts the  
amount of gas flow to the burner. This increases or decreases the burner flame  
height. 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 heat 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 temperature (depending  
on housing construction, installation location, room size, open air tempera-  
tures, etc.). Frequent use of your heater will let you determine your own  
comfort levels.  
MANUAL LIGHTING PROCEDURE  
1. Remove front panel (see Figure 10, page 12).  
2. Follow steps 1 through 5 under Lighting Instructions, pages 16 and 17.  
3. With control knob pressed in, strike match. Hold match to pilot until pilot  
lights.  
4. Keep control knob pressed in for 30 seconds after lighting pilot. After 30  
seconds, release control knob.  
5. Replace front panel.

PILOT FLAME PATTERN  
Figure 17 shows a correct pilot flame pattern. Figure 18 shows an incorrect pilot  
flame pattern. The incorrect pilot flame is not touching the thermocouple. This will  
cause the thermocouple to cool. When the thermocouple cools, the heater will shut  
down.
