AIR FOR

COMBUSTION

AND

WARNING

WARNING ICON

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 6 through 9 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 (10^-6per-pa-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 9.

If your home does not meet all of the three criteria above, proceed to page 7.

Confined and Unconfined Space

The National Fuel Gas Code (ANSIZ223.1, 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 m³per 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 m³per 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.

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 fireplace 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. =

Btu/Hr the space can support)

51.2 or 51,200 (maximum

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)

56,000 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 8.

B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors, page 9.

C. Install a lower Btu/Hr fireplace, 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.

SUPPLY

CAUTION

WARNING ICON

001

Never connect fireplace directly to the propane/LP supply. This

fireplace requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the

external regulator between the fireplace and propane/LP 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, fireplace regulator

damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as

shown in Figure 16. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

001

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 1/2" or greater diameter to allow proper gas volume to

fireplace. 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 fireplace (see Figure 17, page 17).

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 fireplace

valves.

CAUTION

OPERATING

FIREPLACE

FORYOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING

WARNING

WARNING ICON

001

If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion

may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

A. This appliance has a pilot which must be lighted by hand. When lighting

the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.

B. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure

to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will

settle on the floor.

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 building.

• 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.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

You must operate this fireplace with the fireplace screen in place.

Make sure fireplace screen is installed before running fireplace.

NOTICE

During initial operation of new fireplace, burning logs will give off

a paper-burning smell. Orange flame will also be present. Open

window to vent smell. Operate fireplace on HI position to burn off

odor. This will only last a few hours.

1. STOP! Read the safety information above.

2. Make sure manual shutoff valve is fully open.

3. Turn control knob clockwise

to the OFF position.

C-clockwise

in control knob for five (5) seconds (see Figure 22, page 20).

Note: You may be running this fireplace 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. If needed, keep

pressing ignitor button until pilot lights.

Note: If pilot does not stay lit, refer to Troubleshooting, pages 25 through

28. 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 22.

TO TURN OFF GAS TO APPLIANCE

Shutting Off Fireplace

1. Turn control knob clockwise

2. Turn off all electric power to the appliance if service is to be performed.

Shutting Off Burner Only (pilot stays lit)

1. Turn control knob clockwise

to the PILOT position.

THERMOSTAT CONTROL OPERATION

The thermostatic control used on this fireplace differs from standard thermo-

stats. Standard thermostats simply turn on and off the burner. The thermostat

used on this fireplace 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

fireplace cabinet. This may not always agree with room temperature (depend-

ing on housing construction, installation location, room size, open air tempera-

tures, etc.). Frequent use of your fireplace will let you determine your own

comfort levels.

MANUAL LIGHTING PROCEDURE

1. Follow steps 1 through 5 under Lighting Instructions, pages 20 and 21.

2. With control knob pressed in, strike match. Hold match to pilot until pilot

lights.

3. Keep control knob pressed in for 30 seconds after lighting pilot. After 30

seconds, release control knob.
