WATER VAPOR: A BY-PRODUCT OF
UNVENTED ROOM HEATERS
Water vapor is a by-product of gas
combustion. An unvented room heater
produces approximately one (1)
ounce (30ml) of water for every 1,000
BTU
’ s (.3kw ’ s) of gas input per hour.
Unvented room heaters are intended
as supplemental heat (a room) rather
that a primary heat source (an entire
house) in most supplemental heat
applications, the water vapor does not
create a problem, in most applications
the water vapor enhances the low hu-
midity atmospheres experienced dur-
ing cold weather.
The following steps will help insure
that water vapor does not become a
problem.
1. Be sure the heater is sized properly
for the application, including ample
combustion air and circulation of the
air.
2. If high humidity is experienced, a
dehumidifier may be used to help
lower the water vapor content of the
air.
3. Do not use an unvented room
heater as the primary heat source.

tion to run properly. This heater has
an Oxygen Depletion Sensing
(ODS) safety shutoff system. The
ODS shuts down the heater if not
enough fresh air is available. See
Air for Combustion and Ventilation,
pages 5 through 6. If heater keeps
shutting off, see
Troubleshooting ,
pages 17 through 19.
10. Keep all air openings in front and
bottom of heater clear and free of
debris. This will insure enough air
for proper combustion.
11. If heater shuts off. Do not relight un-
til you provide fresh, outside air. If
heater keeps shutting off, have it
serviced.
12. Do not run heater:
l Where flammable liquids or
vapors are used or stored.
l Under dusty conditions.
13. Before using furniture polish, wax,
carpet cleaner, or similar products,

from these products may create a
white powder residue within burner
box or on adjacent walls or furniture.
