Step 8. Position Heater – Place the heater in desired location. It may be helpful to tempo- rarily assemble the surround around the appli- ance to properly locate the unit. Refer to Figure 16 for floor and platform installations. If the heater is to be installed into a framed wall refer to the
Note: The heater may be installed directly on a floor made of standard combustible wood con- struction materials. Do not install the heater directly on carpeting or other soft floor cover- ing such as vinyl tile or flooring materials. Use a wood or metal panel that extends the full width and depth of the heater between the heater and any soft floor covering material. Refer to Figures 26 and 27 for base dimensions.
Step 9. Secure Heater – Bend the tabs down (Figures 2 and 15 ). Using two (2) screws securely tighten the appliance to the platform.
Note: Heater must be anchored to the floor or platform.
Step 10. Install Optional 120V Wiring – Refer
to Step 5 for wiring instructions.
Connecting Gas Line
Step 11. A qualified gas appliance installer must connect the gas room heater to the gas supply.
Consult all local codes and refer to Step 5.
The heater gas inlet connection is 3/8" NPT, located on the left side facing the heater. If a right side connection is required, the connec- tion pipe may be piped under the rear of the appliance to end at the left hand side for con- nection to the inlet.
When tightening up the joint to the valve hold the valve securely with a wrench to prevent the valve from moving.
Step 12. For Surround Installations Only – Finish the assembly of the surround compo- nents and secure the surround to the appliance.
Assembling the Logs
WARNING: DO NOT ADD EXTRA LOGS OR ORNAMENTS SUCH AS PINE CONES, VERMICULITE OR ROCK WOOL. USING THESE ADDED ITEMS CAN CAUSE SOOTING.
WARNING: DO NOT PLACE ANY LAVA ROCK ON LOGS OR BURNERS. THIS MAY CAUSE SOOTING.
Step 13. The heater includes a unitized set of ceramic fiber logs. Handle these logs with great care. The logs can be easily damaged, but when handled properly they can provide years of performance and enjoyment.
Position the unitized log set unto the burner as shown in Figure 17.
Figure 17
After setting the logs into position as shown above, ensure they are properly and firmly situated. The heater will not function as in- tended if the logs are not correctly positioned.
Periodically check the positioning of the logs.
NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATION NOT TO SCALE.
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 PROP- ERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY.
Flame Appearance
REFER TO THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS LOCATED AT THE BACK OF THIS MANUAL BEFORE LIGHTING THE HEATER TO OBSERVE THE FLAMES.
Flames from the pilot, front and rear burner should be visually checked as soon as the heater is installed. In addition a periodic visual check of the flames should be made. The pilot flame should always be present when the heater is in operation and should just envelope the tip of the thermocouple (Figure 18 ).
WARNING: NO ADJUSTMENTS ARE TO BE MADE TO THE ODS PILOT SYSTEM. TAMPERING WITH THIS SYSTEM CAN BE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS.
Figure 18
An incorrect pilot flame is shown in Figure 19. This pilot flame will cause the thermocouple to cool. When the thermocouple cools, the heater will shut off. If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, or if heater shuts off, contact your service representative.
