General Safety Information
SAFETY: Accidents are always tragic, especially
because so many of them could have been prevented
with a little care and judgment. There are some basic
good practices we hope you will follow for safe use of
your gas fired room heater.
IMPORTANT: Read this user’s manual carefully and
completely before trying to assemble, operate or
service this heater. Improper use of this heater can
cause serious injury or death from burns, fire,
explosion, electrical shock and carbon monoxide
poisoning.
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resembles
the flu, with headaches, dizziness or nausea. If you
have these signs, the heater may not be working
properly. Get fresh air at once! Have heater serviced.
Some people are more affected by carbon monoxide
than others. These include pregnant women, people
with heart or lung disease or anemia, those under the
influence of alcohol and those at high altitudes.
Begin by ensuring proper installation and servicing.
Follow the installation instructions provided with this
product. Have your heater installed by a qualified
technician. Have the installer show you where the gas
supply shut off valve is located so that you know where
to shut off the gas to the heater. If the connections are
not perfectly seated or tightened, you may have a leak
and therefore a faint gas smell.
Finding a leak is not a DO-IT-YOURSELF procedure.
Some leaks can only be found with the main burner gas
on and this must be done by a qualified technician.

Installation
Installation Requirements
Fresh Air for Combustion and Ventilation
WARNING:
This heater must have fresh air for proper
operation. If not, poor fuel combustion could
result. Read the following instructions to insure
proper fresh air for this and other fuel-burning
appliances in your home.
Modern construction standards have resulted in homes
that are highly energy-efficient and that allow little heat
loss. Your home needs to breathe, however, and all
fuel-burning appliances need fresh air to function
properly and safely. Exhaust fans, clothes dryers,
fireplaces and other fuel burning appliances all use the
air inside the building. If the available fresh air supply is
insufficient to meet the demands of these appliances,
problems can result.

Provide for Adequate Ventilation
Any space within a home can be classified in these
categories:
Unusually tight construction: The air that leaks
around doors and windows may provide enough fresh
air for combustion and ventilation. However, in buildings
of unusually tight construction, you must provide
additional fresh air. Unusually tight construction is
defined as construction where:
Walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere
have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of
one perm or less with openings gasketed or sealed
and;
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.
Unconfined space: An unconfined space whose
volume is not less than 50 cubic feet for each 1,000
Btu/Hr 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.
Confined space: A confined space whose volume is
less than 50 cubic feet for each 1,000 Btu/Hr of the
aggregate input rating of all appliances in that space.
WARNING: You must provide additional ventilation air
in a confined space.

For proper operation of the unit, provide fresh air
opening(s) to the room. Follow the National Fuel Code
NFPA54/ANSI Z223.1, for required size of combustion
and ventilation openings.
NOTICE: A qualified service technician should install
heater. Follow all local codes.

Gas Type
Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either natural
gas or LP (Propane), and make sure the marking on the
appliance rating plate agrees with that of the supply
gas. The rating plate is located on the side of the
heater, which indicates the type of gas the heater is
orificed for.

Items Needed for Heater Installation
Before installing the heater, make sure you have these
items:

• Gas piping (check local codes)
• Test gauge connection
• Sealant (resistant to LP gases) - approved
•
•
•
•

thread compound
Manual shut-off valve *
Sediment trap - where required
Ground joint union
Tee joint and pipe wrench

* An installer supplied design-certified manual shut-off valve
with 1/8” NPT tap connection.

Locating the Heater
This heater is designed to be mounted on a wall or on
the floor.
WARNING: Never install the heater:
• in a bathroom *,
• in a recreational vehicle,
• where curtains, furniture, clothing or other
flammable objects are less than 36” from the
front, top, or sides of the heater,
• as a fireplace insert,
• in high traffic areas, or
• in windy or drafty areas.

* Models VCPV06M(N,P) permitted for bathroom installations.
WARNING: Vent-free heaters add moisture to the air.
Although this is beneficial, installing heater in rooms
without enough ventilation may cause mildew formation
from too much moisture content. See National Fuel
Code for Fresh Air for Combustion and Ventilation.

2. Open main gas valve located near gas meter.
3. Make sure control knob of heater is in the OFF
position.
4. Check all joints from manual gas valve up to control
valve and including the manifold assembly. Apply the
soap solution around the connections, valve and
tubing. Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is
present.
5. If a leak is present, immediately turn off gas supply,
tighten any leaky fittings, turn gas on and recheck.
6. To check burner and safety valve, the burner must
be lit. (See Operating Instructions) Check the rest of
the connections for leaks.

Troubleshooting, continued
Problem
Heater produces a clicking
noise just after burner is lit or

1. Metal expanding and contracting.

Gas odor during combustion.

1. Gas leaks. Refer to front page
Warnings.

1. Foreign matter in gas or on burner
ports.
2. Heater burning vapors form paint,
impurities in air.

Heater shuts off on ODS

3. Gas leaks, refer to front page
Warnings.
1. Not enough fresh air is available.
2. Low gas pressure.
3. ODS pilot partially clogged.

1. This is common with heaters. If
noise is excessive, contact a
qualified service technician.
1. Locate and correct leaks immediately.
2. Replace gas control.
1. Check gas passage way and
burner.
2. Ventilate room, stop storing and
using odor causing products near
heater.
3. Locate and correct leaks immediately.
1. Open window.
2. Contact gas supplier.
3. Clean the pilot.

Maintenance
Dust, lint, cobwebs or debris may affect heater performance. The heater draws air into it during normal
operation and in the process dust, lint or debris may be
drawn in also. It is important to keep the burner , gas
control and combustion and circulating air passageways clean. Inspect or have these areas inspected
annually at the beginning of the heating season by a
qualified service person. Depending on the surroundings, the room heater may require frequent cleaning
due to excessive lint or debris.
Before cleaning ensure the gas supply is off and the
gas control knob is in the OFF position. Make sure the
heater is cool.
WARNING: Danger of bodily injury. If fan assembly
accessory is used, turn off power supply at disconnect switch or service panel before removing any
access panels from heater.

Burner and ODS Pilot Cleaning
Clean the exterior with soft bristle brush, vacuum
cleaner or pressurized air. Never use a wooden toothpick as it may break off and clog the ODS pilot or main
burner port.
Use a flashlight to inspect the main burner inlet to
ensure it is not blocked. If obstruction can be seen, use
a metal wire coat hanger that has been straightened
out.
Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the primary air
openings to the main burner(s).
WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air openings
to the burner(s) clean may result in sooting and
property damage.
In order to clean ODS pilot orifice, use pressurized air
to blow dust out. Sometimes blowing air backwards
through the pilot will get rid of the accumulated dirt. If
that does not work, blow out any dust through primary
air openings of pilot assemblies (Daemyeong has two
openings; one beneath the bimetal strip and the second
one opposite from bimetal strip. Use the one wide
open, do not try to lift the bimetal strip.)

Cleaning Air Passageways
and Unit Casings
Use a vacuum cleaner or pressurized air to clean the
combustion and circulating air passageways and
dampened cloth to clean the cabinet/casing.
