PROVIDING ADEQUATE VENTILATION  
OPERATION  
The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas Code,  
ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and  
Ventilation.  
This heater is clean burning. It requires no outside venting. There is  
noheatlossoutaventorupachimney.Heatisgeneratedbyrealistic,  
dancing yellow flames. This heater is designed for vent-free opera-  
tion. Stateandlocalcodesinsomeareasprohibittheuseofvent-free  
heaters.  
All spaces in homes fall into one of the three following ventilation  
classifications:  
1. Unusually Tight Construction  
2. Unconfined Space  
SAFETY PILOT  
3. Confined Space  
This heater has a pilot with an Oxygen Depletion Sensing (ODS)  
safety shutoff system. The ODS/pilot is a required feature for vent-  
free room heaters. The ODS/pilot shuts off the heater if there is not  
enough fresh air.  
The information on pages 4 through 6 will help you classify your  
space and provide adequate ventilation.  
Unusually Tight Construction  
PIEZO IGNITION SYSTEM  
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.  
This heater has a piezo ignitor. This system requires no matches,  
batteries, or other sources to light heater.  
Unusually tight construction is defined as construction  
where:  
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND  
VENTILATION  
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  
WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in  
a confined space or unusually tight construction  
unless provisions are provided for adequate com-  
bustion and ventilation air. Read the following in-  
structions to insure proper fresh air for this and  
other fuel-burning appliances in your home.  
b. weather stripping has been added on openable win-  
dows 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.  
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.  
If your home meets all of the three criteria above, you  
must provide additional fresh air. See Ventilation Air  
From Outdoors, page 6.  
If your home does not meet all of the three criteria above,  
proceed to Determining Fresh-Air Flow For Heater Loca-  
tion, page 5.  
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.  
Confined and Unconfined Space  
Exhaustfans,fireplaces,clothesdryers,andfuelburningappliances  
drawairfromthehousetooperate.Youmustprovideadequatefresh  
air for these appliances. This will insure proper venting of vented  
fuel-burning appliances.  
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 (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating  
of all appliances installed in that space and an unconfined space as  
aspacewhosevolumeisnotlessthan50cubicfeetper1,000Btuper  
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 considered a part of the unconfined space.  
* Adjoining rooms are communicating only if there are doorless  
passageways or ventilation grills between them.

Determining if You Have a Confined or  
Unconfined Space  
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)  
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 6.  
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 open-  
ings, add the volume of these rooms to the total volume of the space.  
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventilation Air From Out-  
doors, page 6.  
2. Multiply the space volume by 20 to determine the maximum Btu/Hr  
the space can support.  
C. Install a lower Btu/Hr heater, if lower Btu/Hr size makes room  
unconfined.  
__________ (volume of space) x 20 = (Maximum Btu/Hr the space  
can support)  
If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maximum Btu/Hr the space can  
support, thespaceisanunconfinedspace. Youwillneednoadditionalfresh  
air ventilation.  
Example: 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space) x 20 = 51,200 (maximum  
Btu/Hr the space can support)

Before installing heater, make sure you have the items listed below.  
• external regulator - propane/LP only (supplied by installer)  
• piping (check local codes)  
Figure 20 - External Regulator With Vent Pointing Down  
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)  
• equipment shutoff valve *  
CAUTION: Use only new, black iron or steel pipe.  
Internally-tinnedcoppertubingmaybeusedincertain  
areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of 1/2" diam-  
eter or greater to allow proper gas volume to heater. If  
pipe is too small, undue loss of volume will occur.  
• test gauge connection *  
• sediment trap  
• tee joint  
• pipe wrench  
Installation must include a equipment 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 21 on  
page12forSVYD18PR/NRandFSVYD18PR/NRseries,orFigure  
22 on page 12 for SVYD18P/N and FSVYD18P/N series).  
* A CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT  
tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase  
the optional CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve from  
your dealer. See Accessories, page 35.  
The gas inlet connection for the stove heater is located on the lower  
right-hand side of the stove when viewed from the front of the unit.  
Thegasconnectioncanbemadeeitherthroughthebottomrightside  
or through the lower back opening as illustrated in Figure 19. Make  
sure gas log heater is secured to the stove cavity assembly.  
IMPORTANT: Install equipment shutoff valve in an accessible  
location. The equipment shutoff valve is for turning on or shutting  
off the gas to the appliances.  
Checkyourbuildingcodesforanyspecialrequirementsforlocating  
equipment shutoff valve to fireplaces.  
For propane/LP units, installer must supply an external regulator.  
Theexternalregulatorwillreduceincominggaspressure. Youmust  
reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11 and 14 inches of water.  
Ifyoudonotreduceincominggaspressure,heaterregulatordamage  
could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down  
as shown in Figure 20. Pointing the vent down protects it from  
freezing rain or sleet.  
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.  
WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant  
to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.

CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS  
WARNING: Test all gas piping and connections,  
internal and external to unit, for leaks after installing  
or servicing. Correct all leaks at once.  
WARNING: Never use an open flame to check for  
a leak. Apply a noncorrosive leak detection fluid to  
all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all  
leaks at once.  
CAUTION: Avoid damage to regulator. Hold gas

CLEANING AND  
MAINTENANCE  
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 38). With the unit off, lightly blow  
airthroughtheairinlethole.Youmayblowthroughadrinkingstraw  
if compressed air is not available.  
WARNING: Turn off heater and let cool before  
cleaning.  
CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burner,  
and circulating air passageways of heater clean. In-  
spect these areas of heater before each use. 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  
recommendusingcompressedairnogreaterthan30PSI. Yourlocal  
computer store, hardware store, or home center may carry com-  
pressed air in a can. You can use a vacuum cleaner in the blow  
position. If using compressed air in a can, please follow the direc-  
tions on the can. If you don't follow directions on the can, you could  
damage the pilot assembly. Note: Removing the rear panel (Figure  
5, page 8) and top grate(s) of your stove will make cleaning easier.
