Installation Instructions and Owner’s Manual
Unvented Liquid Propane Fired Room Heater
b. Whether stripping has been added on openable win-
dows and doors, and
c. Caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as
joints around windows and door frames, between
wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetra-
tions for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines, and at
other openings.
If you home does not meet all of the three criteria
above, see Determing the Type of Heater Location
Space, below.
Conned Space and Unconned Space
The National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ ANSI Z223.1
denes a conned 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 unconned 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 fur-
nished with doors, are considered a part of the uncon-
ned space.
*Adjoining rooms are communication only if there
are doorless passageways or ventilation grills be-
tween them.
DETERMINING THE TYPE OF HEATER
LOCATION SPACE:
Use this method to determine if you have a conned or
unconned space.
Note: the space includes the room in which you
install heater plus any adjoining rooms with door-
less passageways or ventilation grills between the
rooms.
1. Find the volume of the space by multiplying room
length x width x height.
Example: Space size 18ft (length) x 18ft. (width) x 8ft.
(height) = 2592
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. Divide the space volume by 50 cubic feet to deter-
mine the maximum Btu/hr the space can support.
Example: 2592 cu.ft. (volume of space) / 50 cu.ft. =
51.8 or 51,800 (maximum Btu/hr the space
can support)
WARNING: If the area in which the heater may be
operated is smaller than dened as an unconned
space or if the building is of unusually tight con-
struction, provide adequate combustion and ventila-
tion air by the methods described in the National
Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ ANSI Z223.1, Section
5.3 or applicable local codes.
3. Add the Btu/hr of all the fuel-burning appliances
in the space such as, Vent–free heater, Gas water
SAFETY DEVICE
This heater has a pilot with an Oxygen Depletion Sen-
sor (ODS) safety shut off system. The ODS/pilot shuts
off the heater if there is not enough fresh air.
IGNITION SYSTEM
PIEZO: BF10LP/ IR10LP – The heater is equipped with
a piezo manual ignitor. This system requires no match-
es, batteries, or other source to light heater.
LOCAL CODES
Install and use heater with care.
Installation must conform to local codes or in the ab-
sences 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
WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in a
conned space or unusually tight construction un-
less provisions are provided for adequate combus-
tion and ventilation air. Read the following instruc-
tions to insure proper fresh air for this and other
fuel-burning appliances in your home.
ESTABLISHING ADEQUATE VENTILATION
The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas
Code, NFPA 54/ ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3, Air for Com-
bustion and Ventilation. All spaces in homes fall into
one of the three following ventilation classications:
1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconned Space
3. Conned Space
This heater must not be installed in a conned space or
unusually tight construction unless provisions are pro-
vided for adequate combustion and ventilation air. The
information on pages 3 through 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 Air
from Outdoors, page 5.
Unusually tight construction is dened as construction
where:
a. Walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmo-
sphere 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
