IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Continued from page 3
14. Caution: Candles, incense, oil lamps, etc. produce combustion by-products including soot. Vent-free appliances will not filter or clean soot produced by these types of products. In addition, the smoke and/or aromatics (scents) may be reburnt in the vent-free appliance which can produce odors. It is recommended to minimize the use of candles, incense, etc. while the vent-free appliance is in operation.
15. This is an unvented gas-fired heater. It uses air
(oxygen) from the room in which it is installed. Provisions for adequate combustion and ventilation air must be provided. See page 8.
16. Keep room area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
17. Unvented gas heaters are a supplemental zone heater. They are not intended to be a primary heating appliance.
18. Unvented gas heaters emit moisture into the living area. In most homes of average construction, this does not pose a problem. In houses of extremely tight construction, addition mechanical ventilation is recommended.
19. During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various components of this appliance are treated with certain oils, films or bonding agents. These chemicals are not harmful but may produce annoying smoke and smells as they are burned off during the initial operation of the appliance; possibly causing headaches or eye or lung irritation. This is a normal and temporary occurrence.
The initial break-in operation should last two to three hours with the burner at the highest setting. Provide maximum ventilation by opening windows or doors to allow odors to dissipate. Any odors remaining after this initial break-in period will be slight and will disappear with continued use.
20. Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are for elevations up to 2,000 feet. For elevations above
2,000 feet, input ratings should be reduced 4 percent for each 1,000 feet above sea level. Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code.
21. The appliance and its appliance main gas valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

ADEQUATE 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, (ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54), 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.
UNUSUALLY TIGHT CONSTRUCTION IS DEFINED AS CONSTRUCTION WHERE… a) walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of 1 perm
(6 x 10 11 kg per pa-sec-m 2 ) or less with openings gasketed or sealed; b) weather stripping has been added on openable 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 wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines, and at other openings.

Figure 4 - Example of a Large Room with 1/2 Wall Divider
The following formula can be used to determine the maximum heater rating per the definition of unconfined space: x 1000
BTU/Hr = (L
1
+ L
2
) Ft x (W) Ft x (H) Ft
50
Consider two connecting rooms with an open area between, with the following dimensions:
L
1
= 15 1 /
2
Ft., L
2
= 12 Ft., W = 12 Ft., H = 8 Ft.
x 1000 = 52800 BTU/Hr
BTU/Hr = (15 1 /
2
+ 12) x (12) x (8)
50
If there were a door between the two rooms the calculation would be based only on the room with the heater.
BTU/Hr = (15 1 /
2
) x (12) x (8)
50 x 1000 = 29760 BTU/Hr
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, NFPA54, Section 5.3 or applicable local codes.
