GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION

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.

The National Fuel Gas Code, (ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54), defines a confined space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU per hour (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space. An unconfined space is defined as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU per hour (4.8 m3 per 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.

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 1011 kg per pa-sec-m2) or less with openings gasketed or sealed;

Inside Wall

b) weather striping has been added on openable windows and

doors, and

Fireplace

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.

LOG PLACEMENT

WARNING CAUTION

The positioning of the logs is critical to the safe and clean operation of this heater. Sooting and other problems may result if the logs are not properly and firmly positioned in the appliance. Never add additional logs or embellishments such as pine cones, vermiculite or rock wool to the heater. Only use the logs and rock wool (EB-RW), and flickering embers (FBE-.1G) supplied with the unit.
Failure to position the parts in accordance with diagrams below or to use only parts specifically approved for this heater may result in property damage or personal injury.

Before you begin – This unit is supplied with 10 ceramic fiber logs. Do not handle the logs with bare hands. Always wear gloves to prevent skin irritation from ceramic fibers. After handling the logs, wash your hands gently with soap and water to remove any traces of fibers.

ROCk WOOL and EMBER PLACEMENT

1. Place dime size pieces of rock wool evenly over small burner ports starting at pilot and down each side of burner. Avoid placing rock wool on slots on either side of burner between the air defectors. Figure 17. Wash hands after placing rock wool. Skin irritation may occur.

Pilot

Grate Tine

Rockwool

Horizontal Grate Bar

DO NOT sprinkle volcanic rock on the logs, around the pilot, or on or near burners. This may cause sooting. Place volcanic rock only on the floor of the fireplace.
During initial operation of the new heater, new burning logs and/or rock wool will give off a paper burning smell and orange flames will be present. Simply open the windows for a few hours to vent the odor.
2. Place flickering bright embers (FBE-.1G) before placing logs on burner. Pull embers apart into small strands and place on top of existing rock wool on both sides of burner from the air deflectors to the end of each burner where they can be seen. Try to avoid stacking these embers on top of each other. Use smaller strands for maximum effect. Use as much as needed to achieve desired effect. Figure 18
