9. This unit complies with ANSI Z21.11.2 unvented heaters

standard.

10. Do not install the DFX Model in a bathroom or bedroom.

The DBX Model may be installed in a bedroom, but not

in a bathroom.

11. Correctinstallationoftheceramicberlogs,properloca-

tionoftheheater,andannualcleaningarenecessaryto

avoidpotentialproblemswithsooting.Sooting,resulting

from improper installation or operation, can settle on sur-

facesoutsidethereplace.Seelogplacementinstructions

for proper installation.

12. Avoidanydraftsthatalterburneramepatterns.Donot

allowfanstoblowdirectlyintoreplace.Donotplace

ablowerinsideburnareaofrebox.Ceilingfansmay

createdraftsthatalterburneramepatterns.Sootingand

improperburningwilloccur.

13. CAUTION: Candles, incense, oil lamps, etc. produce

combustionby-productsincludingsoot.Vent-freeappli-

anceswillnotlterorcleansootproducedbythesetypes

of products. In addition, the smoke and/or aromatics

(scents) may be reburnt in the vent-free appliance which

can produce odors. It is recommended to minimize the

use of candles, incense, etc. while the vent-free appliance

is in operation.

14. Anunventedgas-redheaterusesair(oxygen)fromthe

room in which it is installed. Provisions for adequate

combustion and ventilation air must be provided. See

installationguidelines.

IMPORTANT

Read these instructions carefully before installing or trying to operate a vent-free gas heater in this rebox.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

1. Due to high temperatures, the appliance be

locatedoutoftrafcandawayfromfurnitureand

draperies.

2. Children and adults should be alerted to the hazard

ofhighsurfacetemperatureandshouldstayaway

toavoidburnsorclothingignition.

3. Youngchildrenshouldbecarefullysupervisedwhen

they are in the same room with the appliance.

4. Donotplaceclothingorotherammablematerial

on or near the appliance.

5. Anysafetyscreenorguardremovedforservicing

anappliance, mustbe replacedprior tooperating

the heater.

6. Installationandrepairshouldbedonebyaqualied

service person.

7. Topreventmalfunctionand/orsooting,anunvented

gas heater should be cleaned before use at least

annually by a professional service person. More

frequentcleaningmayberequiredduetoexcessive

lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc. It is

imperative that control compartments, burners and

circulatingairpassagewaysbekeptclean.

8. CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING: Earlysignsof

carbonmonoxidepoisoning aresimilarto theuwith

headaches, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these

signs,obtainfreshairimmediately.Havetheheaterser-

vicedasitmaynotbeoperatingproperly. Continued on page 4

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

This appliance may be installed in an aftermarket,

permanently located, manufactured (mobile)

home, where not prohibited by local codes.

This appliance is only for use with the type of gas

indicated on the rating plate. This appliance is not

convertible for use with other gases.

15. Keep room area clear and free from combustible materi-

als,gasolineandotherammablevaporsandliquids.

16. Unvented gas heaters are a supplemental zone heater.

They are not intended to be a primary heating appli-

ance.

17. Unventedgasheatersemitmoistureintothelivingarea.

Inmosthomesofaverageconstruction,thisdoesnotpose

a problem. In houses of extremely tight construction,

additional mechanical ventilation is recommended.

18. Duringmanufacturing,fabricatingandshipping,various

components of this appliance are treated with certain oils,

lmsorbondingagents.Thesechemicalsarenotharmful

butmayproduceannoyingsmokeandsmellsastheyare

burnedoffduringtheinitialoperationoftheappliance;

possiblycausingheadaches,oreyeorlungirritation.This

is a normal and temporary occurrence.

The initial break-in operation should last two to three

hours with the burner at the highest setting. Provide

maximumventilationbyopeningwindowsordoorsto

allowodorstodissipate.Anyodorsremainingafterthis

initialbreak-inperiodwillbeslightandwilldisappear

with continued use.

19. Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are for

elevations up to 2,000 feet. For elevations above 2,000

feet,inputratingsshouldbereduced4percentforeach

1,000 feet above sea level. Refer to the National Fuel Gas

Code.

20. Theapplianceanditsappliancemaingasvalvemustbe

disconnectedfromthegassupplypipingsystemduring

anypressure testingofthat systemat testpressuresin

excessof1/2psig(3.5kPa).

21. Theappliancemustbeisolatedfromthegassupplypiping

systembyclosingitsequipmentshutoffvalveduringany

pressuretestingofthegassupplypipingsystemattest

pressuresequaltoorlessthan1/2psig(3.5kPa).

22. Do not use this room heater if any part has been under

water.Immediatelycallaqualiedservicetechnicianto

inspect the room heater and to replace any part of the

controlsystemandanygascontrolwhichhasbeenunder

water.

23. Neverburnsolidfuelsinareplacewhereaunvented

room heater is installed.

24. Alwayshaveareplacescreeninplacewhentheappli-

ance is in operation, and unless other provisions for

combustion air are provided, the screen shall have an

opening(s)forinductionofcombustionair.

25. Donotllspacesaroundthereboxwithinsulationor

other materials. These spaces must be maintained to pre-

WARNING

Do not install the heater

• where curtains, furniture, clothing, or other

ammable objects are less than 42" from the front

of the heater.

• in high trafc areas.

• in windy or drafty areas.

GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION

Figure 3 - Sample Room for Determining the Maximum Heater Rating

WARNING

If the area in which the heater may be operated is smaller than that dened as an

unconned space or if the building is of unusually tight construction, provide adequate

combustion and ventilation air by one of the methods described in the National Fuel

Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, 1992, Section 5.3 or applicable local codes.

Thefollowingformulacanbeusedtodeterminethemaximumheaterratingperthedenitionofunconnedspace:

BTU/Hr =

(L1 + L2) Ft x (W) Ft x (H) Ft. x1000 BTU/Hr

Considertwoconnectingroomswithanopenareabetween,withthefollowingdimensions:

L1= 151/2Ft.,L2=12Ft.,W=12Ft.,H=8Ft.

BTU/Hr = (151/2 + 12) x (12) x (8) x1000=52800 BTU/Hr

If there were a door between the two rooms the calculation would be based only on the room with the heater.

BTU/Hr = (151/2) x (12) x (8) x1000=29760 BTU/Hr
