AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION  
Providing Adequate Ventilation  
ASSEMBLY  
Continued  
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.  
Assembling Hood  
1. Locate four black phillips sheet metal screws from the hard-  
ware packet.  
Exhaustfans,fireplaces,clothesdryers,andfuelburningappliances  
drawairfromthehousetooperate.Youmustprovideadequatefresh  
air for these appliances. This will insure proper venting of vented  
fuel-burning appliances.  
2. Rotate hood as shown in Figure 4. Make sure hood tabs  
point toward fireplace.  
3. Insert hood tabs between baffle and louvers (see Figure 4).  
4. Gently rotate hood to upright position. Make sure hood tabs are  
behind louvers and hood is resting on firebox top (see Figure 4).  
PROVIDING ADEQUATE VENTILATION  
5. Align screw holes on hood with screw holes on firebox top.  
6. Insert screws as shown in Figure 4. Tighten screws firmly.  
The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI  
Z223.1/NFPA 54, 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  
Hood Tabs  
3. Confined Space  
The information on pages 5 through 7 will help you classify your  
space and provide adequate ventilation.  
Unusually Tight Construction  
Hood  
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.  
Louver  
Hood Tab  
Baffle  
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 (6 x 10-11 kg per pa-sec-m2) or less with  
openings gasketed or sealed and

and gas lines, and at other openings.  
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND  
VENTILATION  
WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in a  
confined space or unusually tight construction un-  
less provisions are provided for adequate combus-  
tion and ventilation air. Read the following instruc-  
tions to insure proper fresh air for this and other fuel-  
burning appliances in your home.  
If your home meets all of the three criteria above, you  
must provide additional fresh air. See Ventilation Air  
From Outdoors, page 7.  
If your home does not meet all of the three criteria above,  
proceed to Determining Fresh-Air Flow For Fireplace  
Location, page 6.  
Today’s homes are built more energy efficient than ever. New materi-  
als, 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.

Use this work sheet to determine if you have a confined or unconfined space.  
Space:Includestheroominwhichyouwillinstallheaterplusanyadjoining  
rooms with doorless passageways or ventilation grills between the rooms.  
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:  
1. Determine the volume of the space (length x width x height).  
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)  
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.  
If additional ventilation to adjoining room is supplied with grills or open-  
ings, add the volume of these rooms to the total volume of the space.  
2. Multiply the space volume by 20 to determine the maximum Btu/Hr  
the space can support.  
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventilation Air From Out-  
doors, page 7.  
__________ (volume of space) x 20 = (Maximum Btu/Hr the space

C. Install a lower Btu/Hr heater, if lower Btu/Hr size makes room  
unconfined.  
Example: 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space) x 20 = 51,200 (maximum  
Btu/Hr the space can support)

reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11 and 14 inches of water.  
If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, fireplace regulator  
damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent point-  
ing down as shown in Figure 23. Pointing the vent down protects it  
from freezing rain or sleet.  
Extension Cord  
Use extension cord if needed. The cord must have a three-prong,  
groundingplugandathree-holereceptacle. Makesurecordisingood  
shape. It must be heavy enough to carry the current needed. An  
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage. This will result in  
loss of power and overheating. Use a No. 16 AWG cord for lengths  
less than 50 feet.

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 heater will cycle back on when room  
temperature drops below the set temperature.

Pilot Air Inlet Hole  
The primary air inlet holes allow the proper amount of air to mix with  
the gas. This provides a clean burning flame. Keep these holes clear  
of dust, dirt, lint, and pet hair. Clean these air inlet holes prior to each  
heating season. Blocked air holes will create soot. We recommend  
that you clean the unit every three months during operation and have  
heater inspected yearly by a qualified service person.

We also recommend that you keep the burner tube and pilot  
assembly clean and free of dust and dirt. To clean these parts we

holder for dust and dirt (see Figure 36).  
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
