PRODUCING ADEQUATE
VENTILATION
This section is for residential or manufactured (mobile) installation
“This heater shall not be installed in a confined space or unusually tight construction unless pro-
visions are adequate combustion and ventilation air.”
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 defines a confined space as a space
whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU per hour (4.8m3 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 1,000 BTU per hour (4.8m3 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.
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 1 perm (6 x 10-11 kg per pa-sec-m2) or less with openings gasketed or sealed;
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.
NOTE: SOME AREAS IN THE UNITED STATES HAVE HIGHER REQUIREMENTS
FOR CUBIC FEET PER 1000 BTU/ HOUR INPUT. (EX. CINCINNATI, OHIO CODES
REQUIRE 70 CUBIC FEET). CHECK YOUR LOCAL CODE BEFORE
INSTALLATION.
DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR
HEATER LOCATION
DETERMINE IF YOU HAVE A CONFINED OR UNCONFINED SPACE
Use this worksheet to determine if you have confined or unconfined space.
SPACE: Includes the room in which you will install heater plus adjoining rooms with
doorless passageways or ventilation grills between the rooms.
13
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
1. Determine the volume of the space (length x width x height).
Length x Width x Height =_________cu.ft.(volume of space)
EXAMPLE: 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
51200 (maximum BTU/Hr the space can support)
3. Add the BTU/Hr of all fuel burning appliances in the space.

_______________BTU/Hr
_______________BTU/Hr

Total
Example: Gas water heater 40000 BTU/Hr
Vent-free heater + 18000 BTU/Hr
Total
= 58000 BTU/Hr
*Does 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: 51200 BTU/Hr (maximum the space can support)
58000 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 21.
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See “Ventilation Air From Outdoors”, page 22.
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.

VENTILATION AIR
VENTILATION AIR FROM INSIDE BUILDING
This fresh air would come from an adjoining unconfined space. When venting to an adjoining
space, you must provide two permanent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and one within
12" of the floor on the wall connecting the two spaces (see Options 1 and 2, Figure 8). You can
also remove door into adjoining room (see Option 3, in Figure 8).
NOTE: Each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 1000 BTU’s per
hour of the total input rating of all gas utilization equipment in the confined space, but not less
than 100 square inches.

VENTILATION AIR FROM OUTDOORS
Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation grills or ducts. You must provide two permanent
openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and one within 12" of the floor. Connect these items
directly to the outdoors. These spaces include attics and crawl spaces. Follow the National
Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3, “Air For Combustion and Ventilation”
for required size of ventilation grills or ducts.
IMPORTANT: Do not provide openings for inlet air into attic if attic has a thermostat-
controlled power vent. Heated air entering the attic will activate the power unit.

GAS CONNECTION
Check gas type. Use only the type of gas indicated on the valve rating plate. If the type of gas listed on
the plate is not your type of gas supply, DO NOT INSTALL. Contact your dealer for proper model.
Always use an external regulator for all LP heaters to reduce the supply tank pressure to a maximum of
13" W.C. This is in addition to the regulator furnished with the heater.
The normal gas connection is 3/8” N.P.T. made at the left side (facing the front of the appliance) of the
appliance. If a right side connection is desired, the connecting pipe may be led under the rear of the
burner base to terminate at the right side for connection to the inlet of the valve.
NOTE: The connecting pipe must be internally tinned copper tubing for use with natural gas. Test for
leaks using a solution of soap and water after completing the connection. DO NOT USE OPEN
FLAME.

CONNECTING TO A GAS SUPPLY
The installer must supply the external regulator for liquid propane gas. The external regulator will
reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11" and 14" of
water. If incoming gas pressure is not reduced, heater regulator damage will occur. Install external
regulator with the vent pointing down.
You must also install a sediment trap. Locate the sediment trap where it is within reach for cleaning.
A sediment trap filters moisture and contaminates. This also helps to keep the heater controls clean. If
sediment trap is missing or installed wrong, your unit will not run properly.

THERMOSTAT CONTROL OPERATION
The thermostat control used on this heater differs from standard thermostats. Standard
thermostats simply turn the burner on and off. The thermostat used on this heater senses the
room temperature and adjusts the amount of gas flow to the burner. This will increase
or decrease the flame height. At times, the room may exceed the set temperature, which will
cause the burner to shut off. When room temperature drops below the thermostat setting,
the burner will cycle itself on again. The flame control knob can be set to any level between
2 and 7.
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 temperature,etc.). Frequent use of your heater will
allow you to determine your personal comfort levels.
MANUAL LIGHTING PROCEDURE
1. If the pilot cannot be ignited with the ignitor on the control valve, it can be manually lit
with the use of a paper match and a lighter rod.
2. Place the match in the holder and light. With other hand, depress the control knob
counterclockwise
to PILOT.
3. Use rod to light match and ignite pilot. The pilot is located behind the burner tub and in
front of the rear log. Fully open the manual shut-off valve.
4. Continue to hold the control knob for an additional (1) one minute to ensure the pilot
is completely on.
•
If the knob does not pop up when released, stop and immediately call your service tech-

FLAME CHECK
A periodic check of the flames should be made. The pilot flame should always be present when the
unit is in operation. See Figure 17.
FLAME: Propane (LP) should produce a flame that is about 6" above the rear log. This flame should
be yellow.
Natural gas should produce a flame that is about 3" to 4" above rear log. This flame should be mostly
blue except for the top tips which should be yellow.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Although your gas logs are very realistic in appearance, it is not a real burning fireplace and must not be
used for burning rejected material.
•
To avoid irreparable damage to the heater or personal injury, matches, paper, garbage, or any other
material must not be placed or thrown on top of the logs or into the flames.
•
•
To avoid personal injury, do not touch hot surfaces when the heater is operating.
Close supervision is necessary when the heater is being operated near children.
CLEANING
See page 10, figure 6 before cleaning. The appliance must be turned “OFF”
before cleaning inside the firebox (burn area), make sure the pilot is “OFF”
completely and the appliance has cooled.
• All cleaning should be carried out when the heater is cold. Limited cleaning is required
with normal use. Dusting the front of the base, the top of the piezo cover, or the control
knob panel may be required occasionally. Do not use cleaning fluids to clean the logs or
any other part of the heater.
• If the flames show unusual shapes or behavior, or if burner fails to ignite properly, the
burner holes may require cleaning. If this occurs, contact your nearest dealer to service the
heater.
• The heater can be cleaned by removing the logs. Lift the logs gently, as not to damage the
fiber pieces. The logs have been spot glued in place for shipping, use caution when
removing. Lift each log by holding it carefully at each end. Use a vacuum cleaner to
remove dust and loose particles from the base, logs and around the burner and ODS/Pilot.
Gloves are recommended to prevent fibers from breaking the skin. If skin is broken, clean
with soap and water.
WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air openings(s) of the burner(s) clean may result
in sooting and property damage.
