3. Check all items for any shipping damage. If  
damaged, promptly inform dealer where you  
bought heater.  
Todayʼs 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 effi-  
cient, 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  
AIR FOR COMBUSTION  
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 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 com-  
municating directly with the space in which the  
appliances are installed*, through openings not  
furnished with doors, are considered a part of the  
unconfined space.  
AND VENTILATION  
Continued  
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 are excerpts from National Fuel  
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Section 5.3,  
Air for Combustion and Ventilation.  
* Adjoining rooms are communicating only if  
there are doorless passageways or ventilation grills  
between them.  
All spaces in homes fall into one of the three fol-  
lowing ventilation classifications:  
1. Unusually Tight Construction  
2. Unconfined Space

confined or unconfined space.  
Unusually Tight Construction  
Space: Includes the room in which you will install  
fireplace plus any adjoining rooms with doorless pas-  
sageways or ventilation grills between the rooms.  
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.  
1. Determine the volume of the space (length x  
width x height).  
Length x Width x Height =__________cu. ft.  
(volume of space)  
Unusually tight construction is defined  
as construction where:  
Example: Space size 20 ft. (length) x 16 ft.  
(width) x 8 ft. (ceiling height) = 2,560 cu. ft.  
(volume of space)  
a. walls and ceilings exposed to the out-  
side atmosphere have a continuous  
water vapor retarder with a rating of  
one perm (6x10-11 kg per pa-sec-m2) or  
less with openings gasketed or sealed  
and  
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. Multiply the space volume by 20 to determine  
the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support.  
b. weather stripping has been added on  
openable windows and doors and  
__________ (volume of space) x 20 = (Maxi-  
mum Btu/Hr the space can support)  
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.  
Example: 2,560 cu. ft. (volume of space) x 20 =  
51,200 (maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)  
3. Add the Btu/Hr of all fuel burning appliances in  
the space.

The space in the 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 ad-  
ditional fresh air. Your options are as follows:  
A. Rework worksheet, adding the space of an adjoin-  
ingroom. Iftheextraspaceprovidesanunconfined  
space, remove door to adjoining room or add  
ventilation grills between rooms. See Ventilation  
Air From Inside Building.  
Figure 2 - Ventilation Air from Inside  
Building  
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 or spaces open to the outdoors. These  
spaces include attics and crawl spaces. Follow the  
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54,  
Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation for  
required size of ventilation grills or ducts.  
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventila-  
tion Air From Outdoors.  
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 un-  
confined space. You will need no additional fresh  
air ventilation.  
IMPORTANT: Do not provide openings for inlet  
or outlet air into attic if attic has a thermostat-  
controlled power vent. Heated air entering the attic  
will activate the power vent.  
WARNING: If the area in  
which the heater may be oper-  
ated is smaller than that defined  
as an unconfined space or if the  
building is of unusually tight  
construction, provide adequate  
combustion and ventilation air

We recommend that you install a sediment trap in  
supply line as shown in Figure 15. Locate sediment  
trap where it is within reach for cleaning. Install  
in piping system between fuel supply and heater.  
Locate sediment trap where trapped matter is not  
likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and  
contaminants. This keeps them from going into  
heater controls. If sediment trap is not installed or  
is installed wrong, heater may not run properly.  
INSTALLATION  
Continued  
For propane/LP units, 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 pres-  
sure, heater regulator damage could occur. Install  
external regulator with the vent pointing down  
as shown in Figure 14. Pointing the vent down  
protects it from freezing rain or sleet.  
CAUTION: Avoid damage  
to regulator. Hold gas regulator  
with wrench when connecting it  
to gas piping and/or fittings.  
CAUTION: Use only new,  
black iron or steel pipe. Inter-  
nally-tinned copper tubing may  
be used in certain areas. Check  
your local codes. Use pipe of  
1/2" diameter or greater to allow  
proper gas volume to heater. If  
pipe is too small, undue loss of  
volume will occur.

WARNING  
FOR YOUR SAFETY  
• If fireplace has glass doors,  
never operate this heater with  
glass doors closed. If you op-  
erateheaterwithdoorsclosed,  
heat buildup inside fireplace  
willcauseglasstoburst.Make  
suretherearenoobstructions  
across openings of fireplace.  
• You must operate this heater  
with a fireplace screen in  
place. Make sure fireplace  
screen is closed before run-  
ning heater.  
READ BEFORE LIGHTING  
WARNING: If you do not fol-  
low these instructions exactly,  
a fire or explosion may result  
causing property damage, per-  
sonal 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.  
NOTICE:Duringinitialoperation  
of new heater, burning logs will  
give off a paper-burning smell.  
Orange flame will also be pres-  
ent. Open damper or window to  
vent smell. This will only last a  
few hours.  
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 neighborʼs phone. Follow the  
gas supplierʼs instructions.  
If you cannot reach your gas supplier,  
call the fire department.  
Note: Home owners generally prefer to op-  
erate their heater with the chimney damper  
closed. This will put all the heat into the room.  
However, there may be times you will desire  
the full flames of the HI heat setting but will  
find the heat output excessive. You can open  
the chimney damper (if you have one) fully or  
partially to release some of the heat.  
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, donʼt  
try to repair it, call a qualified service tech-  
nician 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.  
WARNING: Damper handle  
will be hot if heater has been  
running.  
1. STOP! Read the safety information in  
column 1.  
2. Make sure equipment shutoff valve is fully  
open.  
3. Press in and turn control knob clockwise  
to the OFF position.  
4. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas.  
Then smell for gas, including near the floor.  
If you smell gas, STOP! Follow “B” in the  
safety information, column 1. If you donʼt  
smell gas, go to the next step.

6. With control knob pressed in, press and  
release ignitor button. This will light pilot.  
The pilot is attached to the burner. If  
needed, keep pressing ignitor button until  
pilot lights.  
The variable control valve can be set to any  
heat setting and flame height desired, by simply  
turning the control knob until that setting is  
attained. Even the lowest setting provides re-  
alistic, dancing yellow flames. Selecting higher  
settings produces greater heat output. This  
results in increased heating comfort.  
Note: If pilot does not stay lit, 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.  
CAUTION: Do not try to ad-  
just heating levels by using the  
equipment shutoff valve.  
7. Keep control knob pressed in for 30 seconds  
after lighting pilot. After 30 seconds, release  
control knob.  
Note: If pilot goes out, repeat steps 3

FOR YOUR SAFETY  
READ BEFORE LIGHTING  
WARNING: If you do not fol-  
low these instructions exactly,  
a fire or explosion may result  
causing property damage, per-  
sonal 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.  
NOTICE:Duringinitialoperation  
of new heater, burning logs will  
give off a paper-burning smell.  
Orange flame will also be pres-  
ent. Open damper or window to  
vent smell. This will only last a  
few hours.  
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 neighborʼs phone. Follow the  
gas supplierʼs instructions.  
Note: Home owners generally prefer to op-  
erate their heater with the chimney damper  
closed. This will put all the heat into the room.  
However, there may be times you will desire  
the full flames of the HI heat setting but will  
find the heat output excessive. You can open  
the chimney damper (if you have one) fully or  
partially to release some of the heat.  
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, donʼt  
try to repair it, call a qualified service tech-  
nician 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.  
WARNING: Damper handle  
will be hot if heater has been  
running.  
1. STOP! Read the safety information,  
column 1.  
2. Make sure equipment shutoff valve is fully  
open.  
3. Turn control knob clockwise  
OFF position.  
to the  
4. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas.  
Then smell for gas, including near the floor.  
If you smell gas, STOP! Follow “B” in the  
safety information, column 1. If you donʼt  
smell gas, go to the next step.

CONTROL OPERATION  
If control knob does not pop out when  
released, contact a qualified service  
person or gas supplier for repairs.  
The thermostat control knob can be set to any  
comfort level between HI and LO. The ther-  
mostat will gradually modulate the heat output  
and flame height from higher to lower settings  
or pilot, in order to maintain the comfort level  
you select. The ideal comfort setting will vary  
by household depending upon the amount of  
space to be heated, the output of the central  
heating system, etc.  
6. With control knob pressed in, press and  
release ignitor button. This will light pilot.  
The pilot is attached to the front burner. If  
needed, keep pressing ignitor button until  
pilot lights.  
Note: If pilot does not stay lit, 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.  
Note: Selecting the HI setting with the control  
knob will cause the burners to remain fully on,  
without modulating down in most cases.  
7. Keep control knob pressed in for30 seconds  
after lighting pilot.After 30 seconds, release  
control knob.  
MANUAL LIGHTING  
PROCEDURE  
1. Follow steps 1 through 5 under Lighting

INSPECTING BURNERS  
CLEANING AND  
MAINTENANCE  
Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame pat-  
terns often.  
WARNING: Turn off heater  
and let cool before cleaning.  
PILOT FLAME PATTERN  
Figure 34 showsacorrectpilotamepattern. Figure  
35 shows an incorrect pilot flame pattern. The incor-  
rect pilot flame is not touching the thermocouple.  
This will cause the thermocouple to cool. When the  
thermocouple cools, the heater will shut down.  
CAUTION: You must keep  
control areas, burner and circu-  
latingairpassagewaysofheater  
clean. Inspect these areas of  
heater before each use. Have  
heater inspected yearly by a  
qualifiedserviceperson. Heater  
may need more frequent clean-  
ing due to excessive lint from  
carpeting, beddingmaterial, pet  
hair, etc.  
If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in  
Figure 35  
turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appli-  
ance, page 20 [manually-controlled models] or  
page 22 [thermostat-controlled models])  
see Troubleshooting, page 25  
Note: The pilot flame on natural gas units will  
have a slight curve, but flame should be blue and  
have no yellow or orange color.  
Pilot Burner  
WARNING: Failure to keep  
the primary air opening(s) of  
the burner(s) clean may result in  
sooting and property damage.  
Thermocouple  
BURNER INJECTOR HOLDER AND  
PILOT AIR INLET HOLE  
Figure 34 - Correct Pilot Flame Pattern  
Pilot Burner  
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.  
Thermocouple  
We also recommend that you keep the burner  
tube and pilot assembly clean and free of dust and  
dirt. To clean these parts we recommend using  
compressed air no greater than 30 PSI. Your local  
computer store, hardware store or home center  
may carry compressed air in a can. You can use a  
vacuum cleaner in the blow position. If using com-  
pressed air in a can, please follow the directions on  
the can. If you donʼt follow directions on the can,  
you could damage the pilot assembly.  
Figure 35 - Incorrect Pilot Flame Pattern  
BURNER PRIMARY AIR HOLES  
Air is drawn into the burner through the holes in the  
fitting at the entrance to the burner. These holes may  
become blocked with dust, lint or pet hair. Periodi-  
cally inspect these holes for any blockage and clean  
as necessary. Blocked air holes will create soot.  
MAIN BURNER  
Periodically inspect all burner flame holes with the  
heaterrunning. Allslottedburnerameholesshould  
be open with yellow flame present. All round burner  
flame holes should be open with a small blue flame  
present. Some burner flame holes may become  
blocked by debris or rust, with no flame present. If  
so, turn off heater and let cool. Remove blockage.  
Blocked burner flame holes will create soot.  
1. Shut off the unit, including the pilot. Allow  
the unit to cool for at least thirty minutes.

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 the burner repeat steps 3 and 4.  
SERVICE HINTS  
When Gas Pressure Is Too Low  
Clean the pilot assembly also. A yellow tip on the  
pilot flame indicates dust and dirt in the pilot as-  
sembly. There is a small pilot air inlet hole about  
two inches from where the pilot flame comes out  
of the pilot assembly (see Figure 37). With the unit  
off, lightly blow air through the air inlet hole. You  
may blow through a drinking straw if compressed  
air is not available.
