WARNING:
This heater shall not be
installed in a confined space or unusually
tight construction 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.
WARNING: This heater shall not be
installed in a room or space unless the
required volume of indoor combustion
air is provided by the method described
in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54, the International Fuel
Gas Code, or applicable local codes.
Natural Gas:
Natural gas is odorless. An odor making
agent is added to natural gas. The odor
helps you detect a natural gas leak.
However, the odor added to the gas can
fade. Gas may be present even though
no odor exists. Make certain you read
and understand all warnings. Keep this
manual for reference. It is your guide to
safe and proper operation of this heater.
Safety Device
This heater has a pilot with an Oxygen
Depletion Sensor (ODS) safety shut off
system. The ODS/pilot shuts off the
heater if there is not enough fresh air.
Ignition System
PIEZO:
The heater is equipped with a
piezo manual ignitor. This system requires
no matches, batteries, or other source to
light heater.
Optional Blower Kit
(Sold Separately)
On models not equipped with a blower,
an optional blower kit (F299201) is
available. Please refer to the instruction
sheet that accompanies the blower kit for
steps on how to remove knock-out plate
and install.
Local Codes
Install and use heater with care.
Installation must conform to local codes
or in the absences of local codes, use the
latest edition of National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
Unpacking
1. Remove heater from carton.
2. Remove all protective packaging
applied to heater for shipment.
3. Check heater for any shipping
damage. If heater is damaged,
promptly inform dealer where you
bought heater.
FRESH AIR FOR COMBUSTION
AND VENTILATION
Establishing Adequate
Ventilation
The following are 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
This heater must not be installed in
a confined space or unusually tight
construction unless provisions are
provided for adequate combustion and
ventilation air. The information on pages
4 and 5 will help you classify your space
and provide adequate ventilation.
Unusually Tight Construction
If your home meets all of the three
following criteria, you must provide
additional fresh air. See Ventilation from
Outdoors, page 5.
Unusually tight construction is defined as
construction where:
1. 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-m
2
)
or less with openings gasketed or
sealed and
2. Weather stripping has been added on
operable windows and doors, and
3. Caulking or sealants are applied to
areas such as joints around windows
and door frames, between wall-
ceiling joints, between wall panels, at
penetrations for plumbing, electrical,
and gas lines, and at other openings.
If you home does not meet all of the
three criteria above, see Determining the
Type of Heater Location Space below.
Confined Space and Unconfined
Space
The National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA
54/ ANSI Z223.1
defines a confined
space as a space whose volume is less
than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per
hour (4.8 m
3
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 m
3
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.
