Check the inventory list to be sure that you have all the necessary parts in usable condition. Also check for concealed damage. Inventory GENERAL INFORMATION These Unvented Gas Log Room Heaters incorporate unitized ceramic fiber logs which glow realistically when the heater is operating. The log sets covered in this document are manually controlled heater rated units. These units are equiped with either a standard manual gas valve or a millivolt gas valve. The control knob is set to the desired position, which maintains a continuous gas burning rate. A spark ignition system (piezo) allows the gas pilot to be lit without the use of matches or batteries and permits operation of the heater during a power outage. These heaters are fitted with a specially designed pilot utilizing an oxygen depletion sensor (ODS) which responds to the amount of oxygen available in the room and shuts the heater off before the oxygen level drops below 18%. The pilot can be relit only when fresh air is available. Refer to the Combustion and Ventilation Air section.

CODES Adhere to all local codes or in their absence the latest edition of The National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 or NFPA54 which can be obtained from The American National Standards Institute, Inc. (1430 Broadway, New York, NY, 10018) or National Fire Protection Association, Inc. (Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA, 02269). State or local codes may only allow operation of this appliance (manual version only) in a vented configuration. Check your state or local codes. Superior Unvented Gas Log Room Heaters are certified by AGA to ANSI Z21.11.2 standard. These gas log room heaters may be used as a space heat source for a room in conjunction with an approved unvented firebox. Additionally, manually controlled units are design certified by AGA to ANSI 21.60 as a vented gas log set. As such manually controlled units may be used as vented gas log set in any wood-burning fireplace that has been properly constructed to code, and in the case of factory built fireplaces, installed in compliance with manufacturers listing and installation instruction. Use of the manually controlled log sets covered by this manual in a properly vented woodburning fireplace which has had the damper blocked open as detailed in these installation instructions preclude consideration of the combustion and ventilation air and clearance to combustible restrictions discussed herein. 1. Determine the volume of space — ft 3. Length x Width x Height = _____ ft 3 (Include adjoining rooms with doorless passageways or ventilation grills between rooms.) Example: 24' (L) x 16' (W) x 8' (H) = 3072 ft 3 2. Divide the volume of space by 50 ft 3 to determine the maximum BTU/Hr the space can support. ______ (volume of space – ft 3)/ 50 ft 3 = (Maximum BTU/Hr the space can support) COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR This heater shall not be installed in a confined space or unusually tight construction unless provisions are provided for adequate combustion and ventilation air. The National Fuel Gas Code defines a confined space as a space whose volume is less than 50 ft 3 per 1,000 BTU/Hr (4.8 m3 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 ft 3 per 1,000 BTU/Hr (4.8 m3 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. Unusually tight construction is defined as construction where: a. wall and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating or one perm or less with openings gasketed or sealed, and b. weather stripping has been added on operable windows and doors, and c. caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as joints around window and door frames, between sole plates and floors, between wallceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines, and at other openings. Use the following equations to determine if you have a confined or unconfined space. NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATION NOT TO SCALE. Example: 3072 ft 3 / 50 ft 3 = 61.44 or 61,440 BTU/Hr the space can support. 3. Add the BTU/Hr of all the fuel burning appliances in the space. Vent-Free heater _______ BTU/Hr _______ + _______ BTU/Hr BTU/Hr Total = _______ BTU/Hr Gas appliance #1* Gas appliance #2 Example: Vent-free heater 32,000 Gas appliance #1 35,000 (water heater) Total = 67,000 BTU/Hr BTU/Hr BTU/Hr * Do not include direct-vent gas appliances. Direct-vent is sealed combustion and draws combustion air from the outdoors. 4. Compare the maximum BTU/Hr the space can support with the actual amount of BTU/ Hr used. _________ BTU/Hr (max. the space can support) _________ BTU/Hr (actual amount of BTU/Hr used) Example: 61,440 67,000 BTU/Hr (max. the space can support) BTU/Hr (actual amount of BTU/Hr used) The space in the above example is a confined space because the actual BTU/Hr used is more than the maximum BTU/Hr the space can support. You must provide additional fresh air. 3 Your options are: a. Rework equations adding the space of adjoining room(s). If the extra volume provides an unconfined space, then remove door or add ventilation grills between rooms. Refer to National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3. b. Vent room directly to the outdoors. Refer to National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3. c. Install a lower BTU/Hr heater, such as a 24,000 BTU/Hr, to make the area an unconfined space. If the actual BTU/Hr used is less than the maximum BTU/Hr the space can support, then the space is an unconfined space. You will need no additional fresh air ventilation for an unconfined space. WARNING: IF THE AREA IN WHICH THE HEATER MAY BE OPERATED IS SMALLER THAN THAT DEFINED AS AN UNCONFINED SPACE OR IF THE BUILDING IS OF UNUSUALLY TIGHT CONSTRUCTION, PROVIDE ADEQUATE COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR BY ONE OF THE METHODS DESCRIBED IN THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE, ANSI Z223.1, SECTION 5.3 OR APPLICABLE LOCAL CODES. PREINSTALLATION WARNING: BEFORE INSTALLING IN A SOLID FUEL BURNING FIREPLACE, THE CHIMNEY FLUE AND FIREBOX MUST BE CLEANED OF SOOT, CREOSOTE, ASHES AND LOOSE PAINT BY A QUALIFIED CHIMNEY CLEANER. Note: Illustrations shown in this manual reflect “typical” installations with nominal dimensions and are for reference only. Actual installations may vary due to individual design preferences. However, always maintain minimum clearances to combustible materials and do not violate any specific installation requirements. Refer to Figures 1 through 7 for clearances. Note: The following steps represent the normal sequence of installation. Each installation is unique, however, and might require a different sequence. 4 When local codes require the damper to be fixed open, a damper stop must be installed to prevent full closure of the fireplace damper and provide a minimum 29 square inch flue opening at all times. Refer to accessories for damper clamp. Follow these instructions carefully to ensure safe installation. Failure to follow these requirements may create a fire hazard. Step 1. Sidewall Clearances: The sides of the fireplace opening must be at least 16" from any combustible side wall (Figure 1 ). If damper clamp is not available, the damper may be fixed open in the following manner. Drill a hole in the end of the damper. Screw in a bolt of sufficient size and adjust to provide the minimum 29 square inches of flue opening. CAUTION: HEATERS CREATE WARM AIR CURRENTS.

Slots along the back flange of the log set are provided. After centering the grate correctly, mark the positions of the bottom of the slots on the fireplace/firebox floor. Drill two (2) ⁹⁄₆₄" diameter holes with masonry drill approximately ¹⁄₂" deep. Wall Shut-Off Key Fireplace or Firebox Wall 3" Sediment Trap Down Figure 9 An external regulator must be used on all propane (L.P.G.) heaters, in addition to the regulator fitted to the heater, to reduce the supply tank pressure to 13" w.c. (maximum). WARNING: CONNECTING DIRECTLY TO AN UNREGULATED PROPANE TANK MAY CAUSE AN EXPLOSION. Figure 8 Step 2. Connecting Gas Line – A qualified gas appliance installer must connect the gas room heater to the gas supply. Consult all local codes. Route gas line using techniques and materials prescribed by local and/or national codes. Only use pipe of ¹⁄₂" or greater diameter to allow full gas volume to the gas fireplace. Undue pressure loss will occur if the pipe is too small. An ANSI approved manual shut-off valve and union must be installed upstream of the heater within the fireplace cavity when rigid pipe is used. Ensure that a sediment trap is installed upstream of the heater within the structures piping system to prevent moisture and contaminants from passing through the pipe to the heater controls and burners (Figure 9 ). Failure to do so could prevent the heater from operating reliably. IMPORTANT: HOLD HEATER REGULATOR WITH A WRENCH TO PREVENT MOVEMENT WHEN CONNECTING TO INLET PIPING 6 Regulator NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATION NOT TO SCALE. The heater gas inlet connection is ³⁄₈" NPT at the regulator, located on the right side facing the heater. If a left side connection is required, the connection pipe may be piped under the rear of the appliance to end at the left hand side for connection to the inlet. When tightening up the joint to the regulator hold the regulator securely with a wrench to prevent the regulator from moving. Checking Gas Connections: Test all gas joints from the gas meter to the gas fireplace regulator for leaks using soap and water solution after completing connection. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME. A. Mix a 50% dish soap, 50% water solution. B. Light the appliance (see safety and lighting instructions on pages 12 and 14). C. Brush all joints and connections with the soapy water solution to check for leaks. If bubbles are formed, or gas odor is detected, turn the gas control knob to the “OFF” position. Either tighten or refasten the leaking connection and retest as described above. D. When the gas lines are tested and leak free, observe the individual tongues of flame on the burner. Make sure all ports are open and producing flame evenly across the burner. If any ports are blocked, or partially blocked, clean out the ports. Gas Pressure Check The heater regulator controls the burner pressure which should be checked at the pressure test point (¹⁄₈" NPT plugged tap) located at the bottom of the regulator (on manual models) or on the control valve itself (on Millivolt models), identified A for the manifold side and E for inlet pressure. Ensure operatilng pressures are within the limits specified in the techinical chart on page 10. WARNING: DO NOT PLACE ANY LAVA ROCK ON LOGS OR BURNERS. THIS MAY CAUSE SOOTING. ONLY PLACE LAVA ROCK ON FLOOR OF FIREPLACE. Each heater includes a unitized set of ceramic fiber logs. The heater and logs are assembled as shown in Figure 11. Handle these logs with great care. The logs can be easily damaged, but when handled properly they can provide years of performance and enjoyment. Periodically check the positioning of all logs. Flame Appearance REFER TO THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS LOCATED AT THE BACK OF THIS MANUAL BEFORE LIGHTING THE HEATER TO OBSERVE THE FLAMES. Flames from the pilot, front and rear burner should be visually checked as soon as the heater is installed. In addition a periodic visual check of the flames should be made. The pilot flame should always be present when the heater is in operation (Figure 12 ). WARNING: NO ADJUSTMENTS ARE TO BE MADE TO THE ODS PILOT SYSTEM. TAMPERING WITH THIS SYSTEM CAN BE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS. Manual Valve Pressure Test Point Millivolt Valve Pressure Test Point On Front Of Valve Manual Log Set Shown, Millivolt Similar Figure 12 Figure 10 An incorrect pilot flame pattern is shown in Figure 13. This pilot flame will cause the thermocouple to cool. When the thermocouple cools, the log set will shut off. If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, or if log set shuts off, contact your service representative. The pressure should be checked with the gas heater burning and the control set to high (3). The pressure regulator on manual models is preset and locked to avoid tampering. If the pressure is not as specified in the Technical Details Chart on page 10, replace the regulator with P/N 110351 for natural gas and P/N 110352 for propane (L.P.G.) heaters. Replace the test point plug after pressure measurement ensuring no gas leaks. Step 3. Secure the log set within the firebox using the screws and drilled holes discussed in Step 2. Step 4. Assembling the Logs WARNING: DO NOT ADD EXTRA LOGS OR ORNAMENTS SUCH AS PINE CONES, VERMICULITE OR ROCK WOOL. USING THESE ADDED ITEMS CAN CAUSE SOOTING.
