WARNING
When used without adequate combustion and ventilation
air, heater may give off CARBON MONOXIDE, an odorless,
poisonous gas.
Do not install heater until all necessary provisions are
made for combustion and ventilation air. Consult the writ-
ten instructions provided with the heater for information
concerning combustion and ventilation air. In the absence
of instructions, refer to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.11NFPA 54, Air for Combustion and Ventilation, or
applicable local codes.
This heater is equipped with a PILOT LIGHT SAFETY SYS-
TEM designed to turn off the heater if not enough fresh air
is available.
NOT TAMPER WITH PILOT LIGHT SAFETY SYSTEM!
If heater shuts off, do not ralight until you provide fresh air.
If heater keeps shutting off, have it serviced. Keep burner
and control compartment clean.
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING MAY LEAD
TO
DEATH.
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu,
with headache, dizziness and/or nausea, if you have these
signs, heater may not be working properly. Get fresh air at
once! Have heater serviced.
Some people -- pregnant women, persons with heart or lung
disease, anemia, those under the influence of alcohol, those
at high altitudes -- are more affected by carbon monoxide
than others.
The pilot light safety system senses the depletion of oxygen
at its location. If this heater is installed in a structure hav-
ing a high vertical dimension, the possibility exists that the
oxygen supply at the higher levels will be less than that at
the heater. In this type of application, a fan to circulate the
structure air will minimize this effect. The use of this fan will
also improve the comfort level in the structure. When a fan
used to circulate air. it should be located so that the air f~q'W
is not directed st the burner.

Propane (LP-Gas) is a flammable gas which can cause rims
and explosions. In its natural state, propane is odorless and
colorless. You may not know all the following safety precau-
tions which can protect both you and your family from an
accident. Read them carefully now, then review them point by
point with the members of your household. Someday when
there may not be a min ute to lose, everyone's safety will depend
on knowing exactly what to do. If, after reading the following
information, you feel you still need more information, please
contact your gas supplier.
LP-GAS WARNING ODOR
If a gas leak happens, you should be able to smell the gas because of the odorant put in the LP-Gas.
That's your signal to go into immediate actionl
Do not operate electric switches, light matches, use your phone.
Do not do anything that could ignite the gas,
Get everyone out of the building, vehicle, trailer, or area. Do that
IMMEDIATELY
Close all gas tank or cylinder supply valves,
LP-Gas is heavier than air and may settle in Iow areas such as
basements. When you have reason to suspect a gas leak, keep
out of basements and other Iow areas. Stay out until firefighters
declare them to be safe.
Use your neighbofs phone and call a trained LP-Gas service
person and the fire department. Even though you may not con-
tinue to smell gas, do not turn on the gas again. Do not re-enter
the building, vehicle, trailer, or area.
· Finally, let the service man and firefighters check for escaped
gas. Have them air out the area before you return. Properly
trained LP-Gas service people should repair the leak, then check
and relight the gas appliance for you.
NO ODOR DETECTED - ODOR FADE
Some people cannotsmell well. Some people cannot smellthe
odor of the chemical put into the gas. You must find out if you
can smell the odorant in propane. Smoking can decrease your
ability to smell Being around an odor for a time can affect your
sensitivity or ability to detect that odor. Sometimes other odors in
the area mask the gas odor. People may not smell the gas odor
or their minds are on something else. Thinking about smelling a
gas odor can make it easier to smell.
The odorant in LP-gas is colorless, and it can fade under some
circumstances. For example, if there is an underground leak, the
movement of the gas through soil can fitter the odorant. Odorants
in LP-Gas also are subject to oxidation. This fading can occur if
there is rust inside the storage tank or in iron gas pipes.
The odorant in escaped gas can adsorb or absorb onto or intowalls,
masonry and other materials and fabrics in a room. That will take
some of the odorant out of the gas, reducing its odor intensity,
LP-Gas may stratify in a closed area, and the odor intensity could
vary at different levels. Since it is heavier than air, there may be
more odor at lower levels. Always be sensitive to the slightest gas
odor. If you detect any odor, treat it as a sedous leak. Immediately
go into action as instructed earlier.
SOME POINTS
Learn to recognize the odor of LP-gas. Your local LP-Ga$
Dealer can give you a "Scratch and Sniff' pamphlet. Use it to
find out what the propane odor smells like. If you suspect that
your LP-Gas has a weak or abnormal odor, call your LP-Gas
Dealer.
If you are not qualified, do not light pilot lights, perform service,
or make adjustments to appliances on the LP-Gas system. If
you are qualified, consciously think about the odor of LP-Gas
prior to and while lighting pilot lights or performing service or
making adjustments,
Sometimes a basement or a closed-up house has a musty
smell that can cover up the LP-Gas odor. Do not try to light pilot
lights, perform service, or make adjustments in an area where
the conditions are such that you may not detect the odor if there
has been a leak of LP-Gas.
Odor fade, due to oxidation by rust or adsorption on walls of
new cylinders and tanks, is possible. Therefore, people should
be particularly alert and careful when new tanks or cylinders are
placed in service. Odor fade can occurin newtanks, or reinstalled
old tanks, if they are filled and allowed to set too long before
refilling. Cylinders and tanks which have been out of service for
a time may develop internal rust which will cause odor fade. If
TO REMEMBER
such conditions are suspected to exist, a periodic sniff test of
the gas is advisable. If you have any question about the gas
odor, call your LP-gas dealer. A periodic sniff test of the
LP-gas is a good safety measure under any condition.
· If, at any time, you do not smell the LP-Gas odorant and you
think you should, assume you have a leak. Then take the same
immediate action recommended above for the occasion when
you do detect the odorized LP-Gas.
· If you experience a complete "gas out," (the container is under
no vapor pressure), turn the tank valve off immediately. If the
container valve is left on, the container may draw in some air
through openings such as pilot light orifices. If this occurs, some
new internal rusting could occur, if the valve is left open, then
treat the container as a new tank. Always be sure your container
is under vapor pressure by turning it off at the container before it
goes completely empty or having it refilled before it is completely
empty.

Water vapor is a by-product of gas combustion. An unvented room
heater produces approximately one (1) ounce (30 mi) of water for
every 1,000 BTU's (.3KW's) of gas input per hour.
Unvented room heaters must be used as supplemental heat
(a room) rather than a primary heat source (an entire house). In most
supplemental heat applications, the water vapor does not create a
problem. In most applications, the water vapor enhances the Iow
humidity atmosphere experienced during cold weather.
The following Steps will help insure that water vapor does not
become a problem.
1. Be sure the heater is sized properly for the application, including
ample combustion air and circulation air.
2. If high humidity is experienced, a dehumidifier may be used to
help lower the water vapor content of the air.
3. Do not use an unvented room heater as the primary heat source
(an entire house).
Page 6 265634-0111
This heater shall not be installed in a confined space or unusually
tight construction unless provisions are provided for adequate
combustion and ventilation air,
A confined space is an area with volume less than 50 cubic feet per
1,000 Btuh of the combined input rates of all appliances drawing
combustion air from that space. Small areas such as equipment
rooms are confined spaces. Furnaces installed in a confined space
which supply heated air to areas outside the space must draw return
air from outside the space through tightly sealed return air ducts. A
confined space must have 2 openings into the space for combus-
tion air. One opening must be within 12 inches of the ceiling and
the other must be within 12 inches of the floor. The required sizing
of these openings is determined by whether inside or outside air is
used to support combustion, the method by which the air is brought
to the space (vertical or horizontal duct) and by the total input rate
of all appliances in the space,
The following example is for determining the volume of a typical
area in which the VFP30 may be located and for determining if this
area fits the definition of an unconfined space.
The maximum input of the VFP30 is 32,000 Btu per hour. Based
on the 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour formula, the minimum
area that is an unconfined space for installation of the VFP30 is
1,600 cubic feet, 50 cubic feet x 32 = 1,600 cubic feet. To determine
the cubic feet of the area in which the VFP30 is to be installed,
measure the length, width and height of the area. Example: The
area measures 17 feet in length, 12 feet in width and 8 feet in
height, the area is 1,632 cubic feet. The VFP30 can be installed
in this unconfined space with no requirement to provide additional
combustion and ventilation air.
If the area in which the heater may be operated is smaller than that
defined as an unconfined space or if the building is of unusually
tight construction, provide adequate combustion and ventilation
air by one of the methods described in the or applicable local
codes.
Unusually Tight Construction
The air that leaks around doora and windows may provide enough
fresh air for combustion and ventilation. However, in buildings of
unusually tight construction, you must provide additional fresh air.
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
or less with openings gasketed or sealed, and
b. Weather-stripping has been added on openable 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
penetrations for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines, and at
other openings,
If the VFP30 heater is installed in a building of unusually tight
construction, adequate air for combustion, ventilation and dilution
of flue gases shall be provided in accordance with ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA54.

NOTICE: Never use plastic pipe. Check to confirm whether your
local codes allow copper tubing or galvanized.
NOTICE: Since some municipalities have additional local codes, it is
always best to consult your local authority and installation code.
Installing a New Main Gas Cock
Each appliance should have its own manual gas cock.
A manual main gas cock should be located in the vicinity of the unit.
Where none exists, or where its size or location is not adequate,
contact your local authorized installer for installation or relocation,
Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping shall be resistant
to the action of liquefied petroleum gases. The gas lines must be
checked for leaks by the installer. This should be done with a soap
solution watching for bubbles on all exposed connections, and if
unexposed, a pressure test shou]d be made.
Never use an exposed flame to check for leaks. Appliance must
be disconnected from piping at inlet of control valve and pipe
capped or plugged for pressure test. Never pressure test with
appliance connected; control valve will sustain damage]
A gas valve and ground joint union should be installed in the gas
line upstream of the gas control to aid in servicing. It is required by
the National Fuel Gas Code that a drip line be installed near the gas
inlet. This should consist of a ver[ical length of pipe tee connected
into the gas line that is capped on the bottom in which condensation
and foreign par[icles may collect.
The use of the following gas connectors is recommended:
-- ANS Z21.24 Appliance Connectors of Corrugated Metal Tubing
and Fittings
-- ANS Z21.45Assembled FlexibleAppliance Connectors of Other
Than Ali-Metal Construction
The above connectors may be used if acceptable by the authority
having jurisdiction The state of Massachusetts requires that a flexible
appliance connector cannot exceed three feet in length.

Pressure Testing of the Gas Supply System
1. To check the inlet pressure tothe gas valve, a 1/8" (3 mm) N.RT.
plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge connection, must
be placed immediately upstream of the gas supply connection
to the appliance,
2. The appliance and its individual shutoff 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).
3. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual 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).
Attentionl If one of the above procedures results in pressures in
excess of 1/2 psig (14" w.c,) (3.5 kPa) on the appliance gas valve,
it will result in a hazardous condition.
Checking Manifold Pressure
Natural gas will have a manifold pressure of approximately
3.5" w.c. (.871 kPa) for maximum input or 1.7" w.c. (.423 kPa) for
minimum input at the pressure regulator outlet with the inlet pressure
to the pressure regulator from a minimum of 4.5" w.c. (1.245 kPa)
for the purpose of input adjustment to a maximum of 10.5" w.c.
(2.614 kPa). Propa ne gas will have a manifold pressu re approximately
10.0" w.c. (2.49 kPa) for maximum input or 6.3" w.c. (1.568 kPa)
for minimum input at the pressure regulator outlet with the inlet
pressure to the pressure regulator from a minimum of 11.0" w.c.
(2.739 kPa) for the purpose of input adjustment to a maximum of
13.0" w.c. (3.237 kPa).
NOTICE: The gas control is equipped with a captured screw type
pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to provide a 1/8"
test point up stream of the control.
A test gauge connection is located downstream of the gas appliance
pressure regulator for measuring gas pressure. The connection is
a 1/8 inch (3 mm) N.P.'E plugged tapping.

allow the gas valve control knob to remain depressed in the
"pilot" position without pushing the piezo ignitor button at
least once every second.
2. During the heating season, leave the control valve knob in the
"ON" position. This will allow the pilot flame to remain lit. Turn
the burner flame on or off with the appliance REMOTE/OFF/ON
rocker switch, wall switch, remote control kits or 750 millivolt wall
thermostat.
VARIABLE ~kOU ATBR
Children and adults should be alerted to the hazard of
high surface temperature and should stay away to avoid
burns or clothing ignition. Young children should be
carefully supervised when they are in the same room as the
appliance.
3. Tampering is DANGEROUS and voids all warranties. Any
component that is found to be faulty, must be replaced with an
approved component.
Initial Lighting (Figure 10)
Upon completing the gas line or turning the gas valve "ON" after it
has been in the "OFF" position, a small amount of air will be in the
lines. When first lighting the appliance, it will take a few minutes
for the lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the purging is
complete, the appliance will light and operate satisfactorily.
Subsequent lightings of the appliance will not require such purging
if the gas valve is not turned to "OFE"
Standing Pilot Operation
1. Follow the SAFETY and LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS for standing
pilot controls found in this manual and on labels found attached
to the appliance.
Figure 10
NOTICE: The gas control valve allows you to increase or decrease
the height of the main burner flame. The control valve has a pressure
regulator with a knob as shown in Figure 10 . Rotate the knob
clockwise to "HI" to increase the flame height and counterclockwise
to "LO" to decrease the flame height.
3. When the heating season is over, turn the REMOTE/OFF/ON
switch to "OFF" and the control valve to "OFF". The system,
including the pilot light, will be shut down.
Maximum and Minimum Input
The gas valve on the appliance allows the input to adjust between
a maximum input of 32,000 Btuh to a minimum input of 22,400
Btuh. Please be advised, the maximum input provides the greatest
amount of yellow flame and ember glowon the log set. The minimum
input substantially decreases the yellow flame and ember glow on
the log set.

SYMPTOMS - POSSIBLE CAUSES AND CORRECTIONS
IMPORTANT: Operating heater where impurities in air exist may create odors. Cleaning supplies, paint, paint remover, cigarette smoke,
cements and glues, new carpet or textiles, etc., create fumes. These fumes may mix with combustion air and create odors.
1. When ignitor button is pressed, there is no spark at ODS/
pilot.
a. Ignitor electrode positioned wrong - Replace ignitor,
b. Ignitor electrode broken - Replace ignitor,
c. Ignitor electrode not connected to ignitor cable - Reconnect
ignitor cable.
d. Ignitor cable pinched or wet - Free ignitor cable if pinched
by any metal or tubing. Keep ignitor cable dry.
