**Operating heater above elevations of 4,500 feet could cause pilot/ODS to shutdown heater.**

PRECAUTIONS:

1. Either of the 10,000 BTU (2931 W) units (the HSVFRD10NG or the HSVFBF10NG) may be installed in a bedroom, but shall not be installed in a bathroom or any place where a strong wind would shut down the appliance.
2. This heater needs outside ventilation air to run properly. The Oxygen Depletion Sensor (ODS) safety shutoff system shuts down the heater if not enough fresh air is available. See Fresh Air for Combustion and Ventilation, page 4.
3. Keep all air openings in heater clear, free of debris or any blockage. This will ensure that enough air for proper combustion enters the heater.
4. If heater shuts off, do not relight until you provide fresh, outside air. If heater keeps shutting off, it requires servicing.
5. Turn off and let cool before servicing. Only a qualified service person should service and repair heater.

6. Do not run heater:

7. Where flammable liquids or vapors are used or stored

8. During dusty conditions.

9. Before using furniture polish, wax, carpet cleaner or similar products, turn heater off. If heated the vapors from these products may create a white powder residue within burner box or on adjacent walls or furniture.

10. Do not use heater if any part has been underwater. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the room heater and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been underwater.

11. Operating heater above elevations of 4,500 feet could cause pilot/ODS to shutdown heater.
12. Always run heater with control knob in a locked position. Never set control knob between locked positions. Poor combustion and higher levels of carbon monoxide may result if control knob is left between locked positions.

DANGER: Carbon monoxide poisoning may lead to death.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:

Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble 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, persons with heart or lung disease or anemia, those under the influence of alcohol, and those at high altitudes.

Natural Gas:

Natural gas is odorless. An odor making agent is added to natural gas. The odor helps you detect a natural gas leak. However, the odor added to the gas can fade. Gas may be present even though no odor exists. Make certain you read and understand all warnings. Keep this manual for reference. It is your guide to safe and proper operation of this heater.

FRESH AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in a confined space or unusually tight construction unless provisions are provided for adequate combustion and ventilation air. Read the following instructions to insure proper fresh air for this and other fuel-burning appliances in your home.

ESTABLISHING ADEQUATE VENTILATION

The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation. All spaces in homes fall into one of the three following ventilation classifications:

1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconfined Space
3. Confined Space

This heater must not be installed in a confined space or unusually tight construction unless provisions are provided for adequate combustion and ventilation air. The information on pages 4 and 5 will help you classify your space and provide adequate ventilation.

Unusually Tight Construction

If your home meets all of the three following criteria you must provide additional fresh air. See Ventilation from Outdoors, page 5.

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 one perm (6 x 10 ^11 kg per pa-sec-m ^2 ) or less with openings gasketed or sealed and
b. Whether stripping has been added on operable windows and doors, and
c. Caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as joints

around windows and door frames, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines, and at other openings.

If you home does not meet all of the three criteria above, see Determining the Type of Heater Location Space, below.

Confined Space and Unconfined Space

The National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ ANSI Z223.1

defines a confined space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m ^3 per kW) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space, and an unconfined space as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m ^3 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.

*Adjoining rooms are communication only if there are doorless passageways or ventilation grills between them.

DETERMINING THE TYPE OF HEATER LOCATION SPACE:

Use this method to determine if you have a confined or unconfined space.

Note: the space includes the room in which you install heater plus any adjoining rooms with doorless passageways or ventilation grills between the rooms.

1. Find the volume of the space by multiplying room length x width x height.
   Example: Space size 18ft (length) x 18ft. (width) x 8ft. (height) = 2592
   If additional ventilation to adjoining room is supplied with grills or openings, add the volume of these rooms to the total volume of the space.
2. Divide the space volume by 50 cubic feet to determine the maximum Btu/hr the space can support.

Example: 2592 cu.ft. (volume of space) / 50 cu.ft. = 51.8 or 51,800 (maximum Btu/hr the space can support)

WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in a room or space unless the required volume of indoor combustion air is provided by the method described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the International Fuel Gas Code, or applicable local codes

1. Add the Btu/hr of all the fuel-burning appliances in the

space such as, Vent-free heater, Gas water heater, Gas furnace, Vented gas heater, Gas fireplace logs, and Other gas appliances*

*Do not include direct-vent gas appliances. Direct-vent draws combustion air from the outdoors and vents to the outdoors.

Example:

Gas water heater 40,000 Btu/hr

Vent Free Heater + 20,000 Btu/hr

Total =60,000 Btu/hr

1. Compare the maximum Btu/hr the space can support with the actual amount of Btu/hr used.

Example: 51,800 Btu/hr (maximum Btu/hr the space can support)

60,000 Btu/hr (Actual amount of Btu/hr used)

The space in the above example is a confined space because the actual Btu/hr used is more than the maximum Btu/hr the space can support.

You must provide additional fresh air. Your options are as follows:

A. Rework worksheet, and the space of an adjoining room. If the extra space provides an unconfined space, remove door to adjoining room or add ventilation grills between the rooms. See Ventilation From Inside Building (Fig. 2)

B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventilation From Outdoors (Fig. 3).

C. Install a lower Btu/hr heater if lower Btu/hr size makes room unconfined.

If actual Btu/hr used is less than the maximum Btu/hr the space can support, the space is an unconfined space. You will need no additional fresh air ventilation.

VENTILATION AIR

Ventilation from Inside Building

This fresh air would come from an adjoining unconfined space. When ventilation to an adjoining unconfined space, you must provide two permanent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and one within 12" of the floor on the wall connecting the two spaces (see options 1 & 2 of figure 2). You can also remove door into adjoining room (see option3, fig 2). Follow the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation for required size of ventilation grills or ducts.

WARNING: Rework worksheet, adding the space of the adjoining unconfined space. The combined space must have enough fresh air to supply all appliance in both spaces.

Ventilation from Outdoors

If necessary provide extra fresh air by using ventilation grills or ducts. Connect these items directly to the outdoors or spaces open to the outdoors. These include attics* and crawl spaces. Follow the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation for required size of ventilation grills or ducts.

VENTILATION AIR OUTLET AIR VENTILATED ATTIC OUTLET AIR TO ATTIC INLET AIR TO CRAWL SPACE VENTILATION CRAWL SPACE Figure 3.

⚠*IMPORTANT: Do not provide openings for inlet or outlet into attic. If attic has a thermostat-controlled power vent, heated air entering the attic will activate the power vent.

IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters add moisture to the air. Although this is beneficial, installing heater in rooms without enough ventilation air may cause mildew to form from too much moisture. See Fresh Air for Combustion and Ventilation, pages 4 through 5.

INSTALLATION

WARNING: Any change to this heater or its controls can be dangerous.

NOTICE: This heater is intended for the use as supplemental heat. Use this heater along with your primary heating system. Do not install this heater as your primary heat source. If you have a central heating system, you may run system's circulating blower while using heater. This will help circulate the heat throughout the house. In the event of a power outage, you can use this heater as your primary heat source for the duration of the outage.

WARNING: A qualified service person must install heater. Follow all local codes.

CHECK GAS TYPE

Use only natural gas. If your gas supply is not natural gas, do not install heater. Call dealer where you bought heater for proper type heater.

THIS INSTALLATION REQUIRES:

Note: Feet should have long end going out the front of heater, and the edge coinciding with side of heater. If feet overhang side of the heater, switch leg location.

1. Place heater on non-combustible surface (see Locating Heater, page 6) before proceeding with gas connection. If this will be a permanent location, heater may be locked into position using anchoring holes in mounting feet.

Note: Use of floor mounting feet will require you to use a 3/8 NPT street elbow to make gas connection.

CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY

WARNING: A qualified service person must connect heater to gas supply. Follow all local codes.

⚠ WARNING: This appliance requires a 3/8" NPT (National Pipe Thread) inlet connection to the pressure regulator. Use of floor mounting feet will require you to use a 3/8 NPT street elbow to make gas connection.

CAUTION: Never connect heater to private (non-utility) gas well. This gas is commonly known as well-head gas.

IMPORTANT: Check your gas line pressure before connecting heater to gas line. Gas line pressure must be no greater than 14 inches of water. If gas line pressure is higher, heater regulator damage could occur.

CAUTION: Use only new black iron or steel pipe. Internally-tinned copper tubing may be used in certain areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of large enough diameter to allow proper gas volume to heater. If pipe is too small, undue loss of pressure will occur.

Installation must include an equipment shutoff valve, union and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach of test gauge hookup. NPT tap must be upstream from heater (see figure 12).

*A CSA/AGA certified equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the CSA/AGA certified equipment shutoff valve from your dealer.

IMPORTANT: Install an equipment shutoff valve in an accessible location. The equipment shutoff valve is for turning on or shutting off the gas to the appliance.

Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads. This will prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result in clogged heater fuel train.

CAUTION: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to natural gas.

Install sediment trap in supply line as shown in figure 12. Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for cleaning. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into heater. If sediment trap is not installed or is installed improperly, heater may not run correctly.

IMPORTANT: Hold pressure regulator with wrench when connecting it to gas piping and/or fittings.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Turn off heater and let cool before servicing.

For maintenance of the inside cabinet or to access the burner and pilot assembly for cleaning or service. Remove the four screws(two located on each side) that secure the front shell to the unit.(Figure 6) Gently lift up on the front shell to disengage the hooks and pull forward to remove it. You will now be able to access all of the internal components of the appliance.

CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burner and circulation air passageways of heater clean. Inspect these areas of heater before use. Have the heater inspected yearly by a qualified service person. Heater may need more frequent cleaning due to excess lent from carpeting, bedding material, pet hair, etc.

Make sure grille guard is in place before running heater. If screen or grille guard is removed for servicing it must be replaced prior to operating the heater.

⚠ WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air opening(s) of the burner(s) clean may result in sooting and property damage.

CLEANING ODS/PILOT AND BURNER

- Use as vacuum cleaner, pressurized air or small soft bristled brush to clean.

CLEANING BURNER PILOT AIR HOLE INLET

We recommend that you clean the unit every 2,500 hours of operation or every three months. We also recommend that you keep the burner tube and pilot assembly clean and free of dust and dirt. To clean these parts we recommend using compressed air no greater than 30 psig.

This can be done by using a vacuum cleaner in the blow

position or using compressed air in a can. If using canned air please follow the directions on the can. If you don't follow directions on the can you could damage the burner or pilot assembly. In addition, the directions below should also be followed.

1. Shut off the unit, including the pilot. Allow the unit to cool for at least thirty minutes.
2. Inspect burner and pilot for dust and dirt.
3. Blow air through the port/slots and holes in the burner.

A yellow tip on the pilot flame indicates dust and dirt in the pilot assembly. To clean the pilot assembly find the small pilot air inlet hole about two inches from where the pilot flame comes out of the pilot assembly (see figure 17). With the unit off, lightly blow air through the air inlet hole. You may blow through a drinking straw if compressed air is not available.
