Due to high temperatures, do not install the heater:
• Where curtains, furniture, clothing or other flammable objects are less than 42"
from the front of the heater.
• In high traffic areas.
• In windy or drafty areas.
DO NOT PLACE CLOTHING OR OTHER FLAMMABLE MATERIAL ON OR NEAR THE
APPLIANCE.
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.
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 10½11kg per pa-sec-m ) or less with openings gasketed or sealed, and
(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 soleplates and floors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations
for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines, and at other openings.
The National Fuel Gas Code defines a confined space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic
feet per 1,000 BTU per hour (4.8m3per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that
space and an unconfined space is defined as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per
1,000 BTU per hour (4.8m3per 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.

When installing the appliance directly on carpeting, tile or other combustible
material, other than wood flooring, the appliance must be installed on a metal or
wood panel extending the full width and depth of the appliance.
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.
Ensure the minimum clearances shown in FIGURE 3 are maintained for accessibility
for purposes of servicing and proper operation. Left and right clearances are
determined when facing the front of the heater.
Maintain
these

GAS CONNECTION
A qualified gas appliance installer must connect the fireplace to the gas supply.
Consult all local codes.
Use new black iron or steel pipe only. Internally tinned copper tubing can be used
in some areas when permitted by local codes. Only use pipe of 1/2" or greater
diameter to allow full gas volume to heater. Excessive pressure loss will occur if the
pipe is too small.
A manual shutoff valve, union and plugged 1/8" NPT pressure tapping point must be
installed upstream of the heater (FIGURE 4).
A sediment trap must be installed upstream of the heater to prevent moisture and
contaminants from passing through the pipe to the heater controls and burners.
Failure to do so could prevent the heater from operating reliably (FIGURE 4).
