7UNPACKING1. 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 youpurchased heater.4. Remove thread protective cup on the gas inlet pipe underneath the heater.5. Install the two 14500 （3.6V）rechargeable batteries. Be sure batteries has full capacity.Batteries must be removed if the heater is not in use for an extended period of time.Figure 2 – Battery Cover and Power SwitchWATER VAPOR: A BY-PRODUCT OF UNVENTED ROOM HEATERSWater 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 arerecommended as supplemental heat (a room) rather than a primary heat source (an entire house). Inmost 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 followingsteps 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 andcirculation air.2. If high humidity is experienced, a dehumidifier may be used to help lower the water vapor contentof the air.3. Do not use an unvented room heater as the primary heat source.
8AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATIONWARNING: This heater shall not beinstalled in a confined space or unusuallytight construction unless provisions are providedfor adequate combustion and ventilation air.Read the following instructions to ensure properfresh air for this and other fuel-burningappliances in your home.Providing Adequate VentilationThis heater shall not be installed in a room orspace unless the required volume of indoorcombustion air is provided by the methoddescribed in the NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE,ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the INTERNATIONALFUEL GAS CODE, or applicable local codes.The following are excerpts from National FuelGas Code, ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54. Air forCombustion and Ventilation. All spaces in homesfall into one of the three following ventilationclassifications:1. Unusually Tight Construction2. Unconfined Space3. Confined SpaceThe information on the following pages will helpyou classify your space and provide adequateventilation.Confined and Unconfined SpaceThe National Fuel Gas Code, ANSIZ223 .1/NFPA 54 defines a confined space as aspace whose volume is less than 50 cu. ft. per1,000 BTU/hr (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregateinput rating of all appliances installed in thatspace and an unconfined space as a spacewhose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per1,000 BTU/hr (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregateinput rating of all appliances installed in thatspace. Rooms connecting directly with the spacein which the appliances are installed, throughopenings not furnished with doors, areconsidered a part of the unconfined space.This heater shall not be installed in a confinedspace or unusually tight construction unlessprovisions are provided for adequate combustionand ventilation air. Adjoining rooms areconnecting only if there are odorlesspassageways or ventilation grills between them.Unusually Tight ConstructionThe air that leaks around doors and windowsmay provide enough fresh air for combustion andventilation. However, in buildings of unusuallytight construction, you must provide additionalfresh air. Unusually tight construction is definedas construction where:a) Walls and ceilings exposed to the outsideatmosphere have a continuous water vaporretarder with a rating of one perm (6×10-11kgper pa-sec-m2) or less with openings gasket orsealed andb) Weather stripping has been added onopenable windows and on doors andc) Caulking or sealants are applied to areas suchas joints around window and door frames,between sole plates and floors, between wallceiling joints, between wall panels, atpenetrations for plumbing, electrical, and gaslines, 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”. If your homedoes not meet all of the three criteria above,proceed to “Determining Fresh-Air Flow forHeater Location”.
9DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR HEATER LOCATIONUse this worksheet to determine if you have a confined or unconfined space. Space: Includes the room inwhich you will install heater plus any adjoining rooms with door less passageways or ventilation grillsbetween the rooms.1. Determine the Volume of space in cubic feetLength X Width X Height = ___________________ cu. Ft.(Including adjoining rooms with door less passageways or ventilation grills between rooms)Example: 24’ (L) X 16’ (W) 8’ (H) = 3,072 cu. Ft.2. Multiply the volume of space by 20 BTU/Hr. to determine the maximum BTU/Hr. the space cansupport.Example: 3.072 cu. Ft. X 20 BTU/Hr. = 61,440 BTU/Hr.(Maximum BTU/Hr. the room can support)3. Add the BTU/Hr. of all the fuel burning appliances in the spaceVent Free Heater _________________BTU/Hr.Gas Appliance #1_________________BTU/Hr.Gas Appliance #2_________________BTU/Hr.Example: Vent Free Heater 26,000 BTU/Hr.Gas Appliance #1 35,000 BTU/Hr.Total 61,000 BTU/Hr.The space in the prior example is a confined space because the actual BTU/hr used is more than themaximum BTU/hr the space can support.You must provide additional fresh air. Your options are as follows:Rework worksheet, adding the space of an adjoining room. If the extra space provides an unconfinedspace: a) Remove door to adjoining room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See “Ventilation Airfrom Inside Building” on next page.b) Vent room directly to the outdoors. See the following “Ventilation Air from Outdoors” for details.c) Install a lower BTU/hr heater if lower BTU/hr size makes room unconfined. If the actual BTU/hrused is less than the maximum BTU/hr the space can support, the space is an unconfinedspace. You will need no additional fresh air ventilation.WARNING: If the area in which the heater may be operated is smaller than that defined as anunconfined space, or if the building is of unusually tight construction, provide adequate combustionand ventilation air by one of the methods described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54, Air for Combustion and Ventilation, or applicable local codes.
