•Allow the heater to cool before servicing. Always shut off the gas to the heater while performing service work.
•Do not install the heater in a bedroom or bathroom.
•The installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
•The heater and its individual
•The heater must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual
•Keep heater area clear and free from com- bustible materials, gasoline and other flam- mable vapors and liquids.
•Do not use this heater if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified ser- vice technician to inspect the room heater and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.
•Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are for elevations up to 4,800 feet. Do not install this heater at an elevation above 4,800 feet if the gas supply has not been derated for that eleva- tion. Consult your local gas supplier. (For op- eration at elevations above 4,800 feet, equip- ment ratings shall be reduced at the rate of 4 percent for each 1,000 feet above sea level before selecting appropriately sized equipment.)
•Ensure that the heater is clean when operat- ing. Excessive dust accumulation on the burner and/or logs will increase the amount of carbon monoxide formation and could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning and/or death.
•DO NOT install this heater into a single (front) opening fireplace. This heater is designed to be used in
CODES
Adhere to all local codes or in their absence the latest edition of The National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 or NFPA54 which can be obtained from The American National Standards Insti- tute, Inc. (1430 Broadway, New York, NY, 10018) or National Fire Protection Association, Inc. (Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA, 02269).
Massachusetts And New York Require- ments
These appliances are approved for installation in the following USA locations listed in the following:
Massachusetts:
These fireplaces are approved for installation in the US state of Massachusetts if the follow- ing additional requirements are met-
•Installation and repair must be done by a plumber or gas fitter licensed in the Common- wealth of Massachusetts.
•The flexible gas line connector used shall not exceed 36 inches (92 centimeters) in length.
•The individual manual
•
•A working smoke detector must be installed in the area where
Seller of unvented propane or natural gas- fired supplemental room heaters shall pro- vide to each purchaser a copy of 527 CMR 30 upon sale of the unit.
New York:
These fireplaces are approved for installation in the US state of New York, but not in New York city.
State or local codes may only allow operation of this appliance (manual version only) in a vented configuration. Check your state or local codes. Superior Unvented Gas Log Room Heaters are certified by OMNI to ANSI Z21.11.2 standard. These gas log room heaters may be used as a space heat source for a room in conjunction with an approved unvented firebox. Additionally, manually controlled units are design certified by OMNI to ANSI 21.60 as a vented gas log set.
COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR
These heaters shall not be installed in a con- fined space. The heater may be located in unusually tight construction provided the space is unconfined, or if confined, is pro- vided with two permanent openings commu- nicating directly with an additional room(s) of sufficient volume so that the combined volume of all connected spaces meets the criteria for an unconfined space, (National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition), Section 5.3). Generally 50 ft 3 per 1,000 BTU input of all operating appliances in the space.
The National Fuel Gas Code defines a confined space as a space whose volume is less than 50 ft 3 per 1,000 BTU/Hr (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances in- stalled in that space and an unconfined space as a space whose volume is not less than 50 ft 3 per 1,000 BTU/Hr (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggre- gate 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 con- struction where:
a. wall and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating or one perm or less with openings gasketed or sealed, and
b. weather stripping has been added on oper- able 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 penetra- tions for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines, and at other openings.
Use the following equations to determine if you have a confined or unconfined space.
1.Determine the volume of space — ft 3.
Length x Width x Height = _____ ft 3 (Include adjoining rooms with doorless pas- sageways or ventilation grills between rooms.)
Example: 24' (L) x 16' (W) x 8' (H) = 3072 ft 3
2.Divide the volume of space by 50 ft 3 to determine the maximum BTU/Hr the space can support.
______ (volume of space – ft 3)/ 50 ft 3 = (Maximum BTU/Hr the space can support)
Example: 3072 ft 3 / 50 ft 3 = 61.44
or 61,440 BTU/Hr the space can support.
3.Add the BTU/Hr of all the fuel burning appli- ances in the space.
