Local Codes Install and use heater with care. Follow all local codes. In the absence of local codes, use the latest edition of The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54*. *Available from: American National Standards Institute, Inc. 1430 Broadway New York, NY 10018 National Fire Protection Association, Inc. Batterymarch Park Quincy, MA 02269 Note: Where listed vented decorative logs are required, thermostat operation is not permitted.
Product Features Operation Safety Pilot This heater is clean burning. It requires no outside venting. There is no heat loss out a vent or up a chimney. Heat is generated by realistic dancing, yellow flames. This heater is designed for vent-free operation with flue damper closed. It has been tested and approved to ANSI Z21.11.2 standard for unvented heaters. This heater may also be operated as a vented decorative (ANSI Z21.60) product by opening flue damper (non-thermostat models only).
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION Continued between wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical and gas lines and at other openings. If your home meets all of the three criteria above, you must provide additional fresh air. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors, page 8. If your home does not meet all of the three criteria above, proceed to Determining FreshAir Flow For Heater Location. Confined Space and Unconfined Space The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION Continued WARNING: If the area in which the heater may be operated does not meet the required volume for indoor combustion air, combustion and ventilation air shall be provided 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. VENTILATION AIR Ventilation Air From Inside Building This fresh air would come from an adjoining unconfined space.
Installation NOTICE: This heater is intended for use as supplemental heat. Use this heater along with your primary heating system. Do not install this heater as your primary heat source. If you have a central heating system, you may run system’s circulating blower while using heater. This will help circulate the heat throughout the house. In the event of a power outage, you can use this heater as your primary heat source.
Installation Continued CHECK GAS TYPE Use the correct gas type (natural or propane/ LP) for your unit. If your gas supply is not correct, do not install heater. Call dealer where you bought heater for proper type heater. WARNING: This appliance is equipped for either natural gas or propane/LP gas but not both. Gas type is indicated on the rating plate. Field conversion is not permitted. B. Clearances from top of fireplace opening to ceiling should not be less than 42".
Installation Continued If Using Mantel You must have noncombustible material(s) above the fireplace opening. Noncombustible materials (such as slate, marble, tile, etc.) must be at least 1/2" thick. With sheet metal, you must have noncombustible material behind it. Noncombustible material must extend at least 8" up. If noncombustible material is less than 12", you must install the fireplace hood accessory.
Installation Continued Determining Minimum Mantel Clearances When Using a Hood If minimum clearances in Figure 6, page 11, are not met, you must have a hood. When using a hood there are still certain minimum mantel clearances required. Follow minimum clearances shown in Figure 7, page 11, when using hood. NOTICE: Surface temperatures of adjacent walls and mantels become hot during operation. Walls and mantels above the firebox may become hot to the touch.
Installation Continued Damper Clamp Damper Damper Clamp Damper Masonry Fireplace Damper Manufactured Fireplace Figure 10 - Attaching Damper Clamp INSTALLING HEATER BASE ASSEMBLY CAUTION: Do not remove the data plates attached to the heater base assembly. The data plates contain important warranty and safety information. WARNING: You must secure this heater to fireplace floor. If not, heater will move when you adjust controls. Moving heater may cause a gas leak.
Installation Continued 10. Attach base assembly to fireplace floor using two masonry screws (in hardware package) (see Figure 12, page 13). 11. Connect to gas supply. See Connecting To Gas Supply. CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY WARNING: This appliance requires a 1/2" NPT (National Pipe Thread) inlet connection to the pressure regulator. WARNING: A qualified service person must connect heater to gas supply. Follow all local codes. CAUTION: Never connect propane/LP heater directly to the propane/LP supply.
Installation Continued WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to liquid petroleum (LP) gas. We recommend that you install a sediment trap in supply line as shown in Figure 14. Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and heater. Locate 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.
Installation Continued Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa) 1. Close equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 15). 2. Pressurize supply piping system by either opening propane/LP supply tank valve for propane/LP gas or opening main gas valve located on or near gas meter for natural gas or using compressed air. 3.
Installation Continued 4. Install remote receiver unit onto gas log heater base using Phillips head screws (see Figure 19). 5. Connect wires as shown in Figure 20. Front Screws Installing 9-Volt Battery in Receiver 1. Locate back of receiver under front burner of heater. 2. Locate battery clip mounted on back of receiver. 3. Slide a 9-volt battery through clip. 4. Attach terminal wires to battery.
Installation Continued INSTALLING LOGS Front Log (#1) WARNING: Failure to position the parts in accordance with these diagrams or failure to use only parts specifically approved with this heater may result in property damage or personal injury.
