INFRARED NATURAL GAS HEATER
Confined and Unconfined Space
PRODUCING ADEQUATE
VENTILATION
AIR FOR
The National Fuel Gas Code ANS Z223.1
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 aggre-
gate 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 (4.8 m3 per
kw) of the aggregate input rating of all
appliances installed in that space. Rooms
communicating directly with the space in
whichtheappliancesareinstalled*,through
openings not furnished with doors, are con-
sidered a part of the unconfined space.
COMBUSTION AND
VENTILATION
The following are excerpts from National
Fuel Gas Code. NFPA 54/ANS Z2233.1, Sec-
tion 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation.
WARNING: This heater shall
notbeinstalledinaconfinedspace
or unusually tight construction
unless provisions are provided
foradequatecombustionandven-
tilation air. Read the following in-
structions to insure proper fresh
air for this and other fuel-burning
appliances in your home.
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 4 through 6 will
help you classify your space and provide
adequate ventilation.
Today’s homes are built more energy effi-
cient than ever. New materials, increased
insulation, and new construction methods
helpreduceheatlossinhomes.Homeowners
weather strip and caulk around windows and
doorstokeepthecoldairoutandthewarmair
in. During heating months, home owners
want their homes as airtight as possible.
This heater shall not be installed in a con-
fined space or unusually tight construction
unless provisions are provided for adequate
combustion and ventilation air.
Unusually Tight Construction
The air that leaks around doors and win-
dows may provide enough fresh air for
combustion and ventilation. However, in
buildings of unusually tight construction,
you must provide additional fresh air.
* Adjoining rooms are communicating only
iftherearedoorlesspassagewaysorventila-
tion grills between them.
Unusually tight construction is de-
fined as construction where:
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 com-
bustion and ventilation.
a. walls and ceilings exposed to the
outside atmosphere have a con-
tinuous water vapor retarder with
a rating of one perm (6 x 10-11 kg
per pa-sec-m2) or less with open-
ings gasketed or sealed and
Exhaustfans, fireplaces, clothesdryers, and
fuel burning appliances draw air from the
house to operate. You must provide ad-
equate fresh air for these appliances. This
will insure proper venting of vented fuel-
burning appliances.
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, be-
tween sole plates and floors, be-
tween wall-ceiling joints, be-
tween wall panels, at penetra-
tions for plumbing, electrical, and
gas lines, and at other openings.
If your home meets all of the three
criteria above, you must provide ad-
ditional fresh air. See Ventilation Air
From Outdoors, page 6.

DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR HEATER LOCATION
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 whichyou will install heater plus any adjoining roomswith doorless passageways or ventilation grills between
the rooms.
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)
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.
Vent-free heater
Gas water heater*
Gas furnace
________________ Btu/Hr
________________ Btu/Hr
________________ Btu/Hr
________________ Btu/Hr
________________ Btu/Hr
Example:
Gas water heater
40,000 Btu/Hr
Vented gas heater
Gas fireplace logs
Vent-free heater + 18,000 Btu/Hr
Total 58,000 Btu/Hr
=
Other gas appliances* + ________________ Btu/Hr
Total = ________________ 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)
58,000 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 adjoin-
ing room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See Ventilation Air From Inside Building, page 6.
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors, page 6.
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.
WARNING: If the area in which the heater may be operated is smaller than that defined as an unconfined 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.

IGNITOR
The thermostatic control used on these
modelsdiffersfromstandardthermostats.
Standard thermostats simply turn on and
off the burner. The thermostat used on
this heater senses the room temperature.
At times the room may exceed the set
temperature.Ifso,theburnerwillshutoff.
The burner will cycle back on when room
temperaturedropsbelowthesettempera-
ture. The control knob can be set to any 2
comfort level between HI and LO.
5. Turn control knob counterclockwise
to the PILOT position. Press
in control knob for five (5) seconds
(see Figure 15).

Note: You may be running this
heater for the first time after hook-
ing up to gas supply. If so, the con-
trol 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 quali-
fied service person or gas sup-
plier for repairs.
Thermocouple
Pilot Burner
Note: The thermostat sensing bulb mea-
sures the temperature of air near the
heatercabinet.Thismaynotalwaysagree
with room temperature (depending on
housing construction, installation loca-
tion, room size, open air temperatures,
etc.) Frequent use of your heater will let
you determine your own comfort levels.
6. With control knob pressed in, push
down and release ignitor button.
This will light pilot. The pilot is at-
tached to the front of burner. If
needed, keep pressing ignitor but-
ton until pilot lights.

and dirt. To clean these parts we recommend
using compressed air no greater than 30 PSI.
Yourlocalcomputerstore,hardwarestore,or
home center may carry compressed air in a
can. You can use a vacuum cleaner in the
blow position. If using compressed air in a
can,pleasefollowthedirectionsonthecan.If
you don't follow directions on the can, you
could damage the pilot assembly.

tions, page 12
INSPECTING
BURNER
Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame
pattern often.
Figure 20 - Correct Burner Flame Pattern
1. Shut off the unit, including the pilot.
Allow the unit to cool for at least
thirty minutes.
2. Inspect burner, pilot for dust and dirt.

Figure 19 shows an incorrect pilot flame
pattern.Theincorrectpilotflameisnottouch-
ing the thermocouple. This will cause the
thermocouple to cool. When the thermo-
couple cools, the heater will shut down.
Clean the pilot assembly also. A yellow tip
on the pilot flame indicates dust and dirt in
the pilot assembly. There is a small pilot air
inlet hole about two inches from where the
pilot flame comes out of the pilot assembly
(see Figure 22). With the unit off, lightly
blow air through the air inlet hole. You may
