General Information
The Dutchwest Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room Heater,
Model Nos. 3070, 3071, 3072 and 3073, is a vented gas
appliance listed to the ANSI standard Z21.88b-2001 and
CSA-2.33b-2001 for Vented Room Heaters, and CSA 2.17-
M91, Gas-Fired Appliances For Use at High Altitudes.
The installation of the Dutchwest Direct Vent/Natural
Vent Room Heater must conform with local codes, or in the
absence of local codes, with National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54 — latest edition and CSA B-149.1 Instal-
lation Code. (EXCEPTION: Do not derate this appliance
for altitude. Maintain the manifold pressure at 3.5” w.c. for
Natural Gas and 10.0” w.c. for LP gas at maximum input.)
This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indicat-
ed on the rating plate. This appliance is not convertible for
use with other gases unless a certified kit is used.
Installation and replacement of gas piping, gas utiliza-
tion equipment or accessories, and repair and servicing
of equipment shall be performed only by a qualified
agency. The term “qualified agency” means any individ-
ual, firm, corporation, or company that either in person
or through a representative is engaged in and is respon-
sible for (a) installation or replacement of gas piping,
or (b), the connection, installation, repair, or servicing
of equipment, who is experienced in such work, familiar
with all precautions required, and has complied with all
the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction.
The Dutchwest Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room Heater
should be inspected before use and at least annually by
a qualified service agency. It is imperative that control
compartments, burners, and circulating air passage-
ways of the appliance be kept clean.
The Dutchwest Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room Heater and
its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the
gas supply piping during any pressure testing of that system
at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
The Dutchwest Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room Heater
must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by clos-
ing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures
equal to or less than 1/2 psig.
‘Direct Vent’ describes a sealed combustion system in
which incoming outside air for combustion and outgoing
exhaust enter and exit through two separate concentric
passages within the same sealed vent system. The system
does not use room air to support combustion. The Direct
Vent system permits the gas appliance to be vented directly
to the outside atmosphere through the side of the house or
vertically through the roof. Conventional venting systems
(Natural Vent) take air from the room for combustion and
vent the exhaust vertically through the roof to the atmo-
sphere.
This appliance is approved for bedroom installations in the
U.S. and Canada.
This appliance may be installed in an aftermarket* manu-
factured (mobile) home, where not prohibited by state or
local codes.
WARNING: Operation of this heater when not con-
nected to a properly installed and maintained venting
system can result in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning
and possible death.
The Dutchwest Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room Heater,
when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance
with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, (latest edition), or of
the current Canadian Electrical Code C22.1.
Due to high temperatures this appliance should be
located out of traffic and away from furniture and drap-
eries.
WARNING: This appliance is hot while in operation.
Keep children, clothing, and furniture away. Contact
may cause burns or ignition of combustible materials.
Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards
of high surface temperatures and should stay away to
avoid burns or clothing ignition. Young children should
be carefully supervised when they are in the same room
as the appliance.
Clothing or other flammable materials should not be
placed on or near the appliance.
Any safety screen, glass or guard removed for servic-
ing an appliance must be replaced prior to operating the
appliance.
The appliance area must be kept clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not
be obstructed. The installation must include adequate
accessibility and clearance for servicing and proper
operation.
WARNING: Do not operate the Room Heater with the
glass panel removed, cracked or broken. Replacement
of the panel should be done by a licensed or qualified
service person.
Do not use this appliance if any part has been under
water. Immediately call a qualified service technician

under water.
Do not burn wood, trash or any other material for
which this appliance was not designed. This appliance
is designed to burn either natural gas or propane only.
This gas appliance must not be connected to a chim-
ney flue serving a separate solid-fuel burning appliance.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when
servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper
and dangerous operation.
Verify proper operation after servicing.
