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 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 classifications:
1. Unusually Tight Construction; 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 continuous
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 Space
The National Fuel Gas Code (ANSIZ2123.1, 1992 Section 5.3) defines a confined
space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour
(4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space
and an unconfining space as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per
1,000 Btu per hour (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 consid-
ered a part of the unconfined space.
* Adjoining rooms are communicating only if there are doorless passageways or
ventilation grills between them.

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 20 ft. (length) x 16 ft. (width) x 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 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)
3. Add the Btu/Hr of all fuel burning appliances in the space.

* 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)
60,000 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.

CONNECTING
TO GAS
NOTICE
A qualified service person must connect heater to gas supply.
Follow all local codes.
SUPPLY
CAUTION
Never connect heater directly to the propane supply. This heater
requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external
regulator between the heater and propane supply.
The installer must supply an external regulator. The external regulator will reduce
incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11 and
14 inches of water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, heater regulator
damage could occur. Install the external regulator with the vent pointing down as
shown in Figure 13. 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 large enough diameter 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, 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 14, page 15).
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 liquid petroleum (LP) gas.
Install sediment trap in supply line as shown in Figure 14, page 15. Locate sediment
trap where it is within reach for cleaning. Locate sediment trap where trapped
matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This
keeps them from going into heater controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is
installed wrong, heater may not run properly.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone in your build-
ing.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow
the gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
C. Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control knob. Never use
tools. If the knob will not push in or turn by hand, don’t try to repair it,
call a qualified service technician or gas supplier. Force or attempted
repair may result in a fire or explosion.
D. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call
a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part
of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.

5. Turn control knob counterclockwise
to the PILOT position. Press
C-clockwise
in control knob for five (5) seconds (see Figure 17).
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.
• If control knob does not pop up when released, contact a qualified
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 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 22 through
25. 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 19.

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. Selecting the HI setting will cause the burner to remain
fully on without modulating down in most cases.
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 7, page 11).
2. Follow steps 1 through 5 under Lighting Procedures, pages 17 and 18.
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.
