to ANSI Z21.50 - 2003 (in Canada, CSA 2.22
- 2003), and CAN/CGA-2.17-M91 in both USA
and Canada, as vented gas fi replaces.
Both millivolt and electronic versions of these
appliances are listed by OMNI-Test Laborato-
ries, Inc. for installation in bedrooms in the
United States (not approved in Canada) and
in Manufactured Homes.
Manufactured Homes -
See
Manufactured Home Requirements
on
Page 5
for additional information.
Outside Combustion Air Hook Up -
(All manufactured home installations require
the use of an Outside Combustion Air Hook-
Up Kit)
These appliances are equipped with an integral
combustion air door and actuator arm. Com-
bustion air kits are optional. Install as shown
in
Step 8
on
Page 12.
Misc. Codes / Standards -
The Installation must conform to local codes or,
in the absence of local codes, with the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 - latest
edition, or the Natural Gas and Propane Instal-
lation Code, CSA B149.1 - latest edition.
The appliance, when installed, must be electri-
cally grounded in accordance with local codes or,
in the absence of local codes, with the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest edition,

This installation manual will help you obtain a
safe, effi cient, dependable installation for your
appliance and vent system.
Please read and understand these
instructions before beginning your
installation.
These vented gas fi replaces are designed for
residential applications. They must be installed
with approved type-B, 5 inch diameter double
wall vent pipe systems routed to the outside
atmosphere.
The
Millivolt
appliances have a millivolt gas
control valve with piezo ignition system provides
safe, effi cient operation. If any optional acces-
sories which require electrical power are being
installed, the electrical power must be provided
at the time of appliance installation.
The
Electronic
appliances have an electronic
intermittent pilot ignition system provides safe,
effi cient operation. External electrical power is
required to operate these units.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Note:
Installation and repair should be per-
formed by a qualifi ed service person. The
appliance should be inspected annually by a
qualifi ed professional service technician. More
frequent inspections and cleanings may be
required due to excessive lint from carpeting,
bedding material, etc.
S'assurer que le brùleur et le compartiment des
commandes sont propres. Voir les instructions
d'installation et d'utilisation qui accompagnent
l'apareil.
\
Provide adequate clearances around air open-
ings and adequate accessibility clearance for
service and proper operation. Never obstruct
the front, back and/or side viewing surfaces
of the appliance.
These appliances are designed to operate
on natural or propane gas only. To operate
on Propane Gas a fi eld converion is neces-
sary (see
Pages 19 to 22
).
The use of other
fuels or combination of fuels will degrade
the performance of this system and may be
dangerous.
Millivolt Models -
The millivolt appliances are manually controlled
and feature a spark igniter (piezo) that allows the
appliance's pilot gas to be lit without the use of
matches or batteries. This system provides con-
tinued service in the event of a power outage.
Millivolt models come standard with a manually-
modulated gas valve; fl ame appearance and heat
output can be controlled at the gas valve. Input
for these models are shown in
Tables 1 & 2.

WARNING
Improper installation, adjust-
ment, alteration, service or
maintenance can cause injury
or property damage. Refer to
this manual. For assistance or
