UNPACKING

1. Remove heater from carton.

2. Remove all protective packaging applied to heater for shipping

3. Check heater for any shipping damage. If heater is damaged, promptly inform dealer where you bought heater.

WATER VAPOR: A BY-PRODUCT OF

UNVENTED ROOM HEATERS

Water vapor is a by-product of gas combustion. An unvented room heater produces approximately one (1) ounce (30 mL) of water for every 1,000 BTUs (0.3 KWs) of gas input per hour. Unvented room heaters are recommended as supplemental heat (a room) rather than a primary heat source (an entire house). In most supplemental heat applications, the water vapor does not create a problem. In most applications, the water vapor enhances the low humidity atmosphere experienced during cold weather.

The following steps will help ensure that water vapor does not become a problem.

1. Be sure the heater is sized properly for the application, including ample combustion air and circulation air.

2. If high humidity is experienced, a dehumidifier may be used to help lower the water vapor content of the air.

3. Do not use an unvented room heater as the primary heat source.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

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.

Today’s homes are built more energy efficient than ever. New materials, increased insulation and new construction methods help reduce heat loss in homes. Home owners weather strip and caulk around windows and doors to keep the cold air out and the warm air in.

During heating months, home owners want their homes as airtight as possible.

While it is good to make your home energy efficient, your home needs to breathe. Fresh air must enter your home. All fuel-burning appliances need fresh air for proper combustion and ventilation.

Exhaust fans, fireplaces, clothes dryers and fuel burning appliances draw air from the house to operate. You must provide adequate fresh air for these appliances. This will insure proper venting of vented fuel-burning appliances.

2000458-01A www.bluegrassliving.com

WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in a room or space unless the required vol ume of indoor combustion air is provided by the method de scribed in the National Fuel Gas

Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the

International Fuel Gas Code, or applicable local codes.

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/NFPA 54, the International Fuel Gas Code, or applicable local codes.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

VENTILATION AIR

Ventilation Air From Inside Building

This fresh air would come from an adjoining unconfined space. When ventilating to an adjoining unconfined space, you must provide two permanent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and one within 12" of the floor on the wall connecting the two spaces (see options

1 and 2, Figure 2). You can also remove door into adjoining room (see option 3, Figure 2).

Follow the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI

Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for Combustion and

Ventilation for required size of ventilation grills or ducts.

12"

Ventilation Air From Outdoors

Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation grills or ducts. You must provide two permanent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and one within 12" of the floor. Connect these items directly to the outdoors or spaces open to the outdoors. These spaces include attics and crawl spaces. Follow the National Fuel

Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for

Combustion and Ventilation for required size of ventilation grills or ducts.

IMPORTANT: Do not provide openings for inlet or outlet air into attic if attic has a thermostat-controlled power vent. Heated air entering the attic will activate the power vent.

WARNING: A qualified ser vice technician must connect heater to gas supply. Follow all local codes.

WARNING: This appliance requires a 3/8" NPT (National

Pipe Thread) inlet connection to the pressure regulator.

WARNING: For natural gas,

Never connect heater to private

(non-utility) gas wells. This gas is commonly known as wellhead gas.

WARNING: Do not overtighten gas connections.

CAUTION: Use only new, black iron or steel pipe. Inter nally tinned copper tubing may be used in certain areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of

1/2" diameter or greater to allow proper gas volume to heater. If pipe is too small, undue loss of pressure will occur.

CAUTION: For natural gas, check your gas line pressure before connecting heater to gas line. Gas line pressure must be no greater than 10.5" of water. If gas line pressure is higher, heater regulator damage could occur.

INSTALLATION

CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY

CAUTION: For propane/LP gas, Never connect heater directly to the gas supply. This heater requires an external regulator

(not supplied). Install the external regulator between the heater and gas supply. Gas supplier provides external regulator for natural gas.

The installer provides the external regulator for propane/LP gas.

CAUTION: Avoid damage to regulator. Hold gas regulator with wrench when connecting into gas piping and/or fittings.

CAUTION: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to gas

(Propane/LP or Natural Gas).

Before installing heater, make sure you have the items listed below:

• piping (check local codes)

• sealant (resistant to natural gas and propane/LP gas)

• equipment shutoff valve*

• test gauge connection*

• sediment trap

• tee joint

• pipe wrench

• flexible gas hose (check local codes)

* A CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the optional CSA design certified equipment shutoff valve from your dealer.

Typical Inlet Pipe Diameters

Use 3/8" black iron pipe or greater. Installation must include an equipment shutoff valve, union, and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from heater (see Figure

12, page 14).

IMPORTANT: Install an equipment shutoff valve in an accessible location. The equipment shutoff valve is for turning on or shutting off the gas to the appliance.

2000458-01A www.bluegrassliving.com

13

INSTALLATION

Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads.

This will prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result in clogged heater valves.

The installer must supply an external regulator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11" and 14" of water.

If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, heater regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 15. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

Install sediment trap in supply line as shown in Figure 14. Place sediment trap where it is within reach for cleaning. Place sediment trap where trapped matter is not likely to freeze.

A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into heater controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is installed wrong, heater may not run properly.

INSPECTING BURNERS

IMPORTANT: Owner’s should check pilot flame pattern and burner flame pattern often.

Incorrect flame patterns indicate the need for cleaning (see Care and Maintenance, page 20) or service.

WARNING: Only a qualified service person should service and repair heater. This includes maintenance requiring replacement or alteration of components.

PILOT FLAME PATTERN

Figure 23 shows a correct pilot flame pattern.

Figure 24 shows an incorrect pilot flame pattern. The incorrect pilot flame is not touching the thermocouple. This will cause the thermocouple to cool, which shuts the heater off.

If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 24

• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Ap pliance , page 17)

• see Troubleshooting pages 21 through 23.

Notice: Do not mistake orange flames with yellow tipping. Dirt or other fine particles enter the heater and burn causing brief patches of orange flame.

Figure 23 - Correct Pilot Flame Pattern

WARNING: If yellow tipping occurs, your heater could pro duce increased levels of carbon monoxide. If the burner flame pattern shows yellow tipping, follow instructions below.

Figure 24 - Incorrect Pilot Flame Pattern

BURNER FLAME PATTERN

Figure 25 shows a correct burner flame pattern. Figure 26 shows an incorrect burner flame pattern. The incorrect burner flame pattern shows yellow tipping of the flame. It also shows the flame higher than 1/2 the heat shield height.

If burner flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 25

• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Ap pliance , page 17)

• see Troubleshooting pages 21 through 23.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Turn off heater and let cool before servicing.

CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burner, and circulating air passageways of heater clean. Inspect these areas of heater before each use. Have heater inspected yearly by a qualified service techni cian. Heater may need more frequent cleaning due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, pet hair, etc.

WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air opening(s) of the burner(s) clean may result in sooting and property damage.

MAIN BURNER

Periodically inspect all burner flame holes with the heater running. All slotted burner flame holes should be open with yellow flame present. All round burner flame holes should be open with a small blue flame present. Some burner flame holes may become blocked by debris or rust, with no flame present. If so, turn off the heater and let it cool, and remove blockage or replace burner. Blocked burner flame holes will create soot.

BURNER INJECTOR HOLDER AND PILOT AIR INLET HOLE

We recommend that you clean the unit every 2,500 hours of operation or every three months. We also recommend that you keep the burner tube and pilot assembly clean and free of dust and dirt. To clean these parts we recommend using compressed air no greater than 30 PSl. Your local computer store, hardware store, or home center may carry compressed air in a can. You can use a vacuum cleaner in the blow position. If using compressed air in a can, please follow the directions on the can. If you don’t follow

ODS/PILOT directions on the can, you could damage the pilot assembly.

1. Shut off the unit, including the pilot. Allow the unit to cool for at least thirty minutes.

2. Remove four screws securing front panel.

3. Pull front panel forward.

4. Inspect burner and pilot for dust and dirt.

5. Blow air through the ports/slots and holes in the burner.

6. Replace front panel using screws removed.

Use a vacuum cleaner, pressurized air, or a small, soft bristled brush to clean.

A yellow tip on the pilot flame indicates dust and dirt in the pilot assembly. There is a small pilot air inlet hole about 2" from where the pilot flame comes out of the pilot assembly

(see Figure 27). With the unit off, lightly blow air through the air inlet hole. You may blow through a drinking straw if compressed air is not available.

Failure to use original factory replacement parts will void this warranty.

Traveling, handling, transportation, diagnostic, material, labor and incidental costs associated with warranty repairs, unless expressly covered by this warranty, are not reimbursable under this warranty and are the responsibility of the owner.
