Installation Requirements  
Fresh Air for Combustion and Ventilation  
WARNING:  
opening(s) to the room. Follow the National Fuel Code  
NFPA54/ANSI Z223.1, for required size of combustion  
and ventilation openings.  
NOTICE: A qualified service technician should install  
heater. Follow all local codes.  
This heater must have fresh air for proper opera-  
tion. If not, poor fuel combustion could result.  
Read the following instructions to insure proper  
fresh air for this and other fuel-burning appli-  
ances in your home.  
Gas Type  
Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either natural  
gas or LP (Propane), and make sure the marking on the  
appliance rating plate agrees with that of the supply  
gas. The rating plate is located on the side of the  
heater, which indicates the type of gas that the heater is  
orificed for.  
Modern construction standards have resulted in homes  
that are highly energy-efficient and that allow little heat  
loss. Your home needs to breathe, however, and all  
fuel-burning appliances need fresh air to function  
properly and safely. Exhaust fans, clothes dryers,  
fireplaces and other fuel burning appliances all use the  
air inside the building. If the available fresh air supply is  
insufficient to meet the demands of these appliances,  
problems can result.  
Items Needed for Heater Installation  
Before installing the heater, make sure you have these  
items:  
Gas piping (check local codes)  
Test gauge connection  
Sealant (resistant to LP gases) - approved  
Provide for Adequate Ventilation  
Any space within a home can be classified in these  
categories:  
thread compound  
Manual shut-off valve  
*
Unusually tight construction: The air that leaks  
around doors 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:  
Sediment trap - where required  
Ground joint union  
Tee joint and pipe wrench  
An installer supplied design-certified manual shut-off valve  
with 1/8” NPT tap connection.  
*
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;  
Locating the Heater  
This heater is designed to be mounted on a wall. The  
heater may also be located on the floor away from a  
wall. An optional floor mounting base is required and cn  
be purchased from your dealer.  
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.  
WARNING: Never install the heater:  
in a bathroom,  
in a recreational vehicle,  
Unconfined space: An unconfined space whose  
volume is not less than 50 cubic feet for each 1,000  
Btu/Hr 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 consid-  
ered a part of the unconfined space.  
where curtains, furniture, clothing or other  
flammable objects are less than 36” from the  
front, top or sides of the heater,  
as a fireplace insert,  
in high traffic areas, or  
in windy or drafty areas.  
WARNING: Vent-free heaters add moisture to the air.  
Although this is beneficial, installing heater in rooms  
without enough ventilation may cause mildew formation  
from too much moisture content. See National Fuel  
Code for Fresh Air for Combustion and Ventilation.  
Confined space: A confined space whose volume is  
less than 50 cubic feet for each 1,000 Btu/Hr of the  
aggregate input rating of all appliances in that space.  
WARNING: You must provide additional ventilation air  
in a confined space.

Connect to Gas Supply  
Before connecting the appliance, turn of all gas appli-  
ances. Close the main gas valve at the gas meter or Lp  
tank. Make certain there is good ventilation where the  
installation will be made. Installation should comply with  
all applicable building codes and ANSI Z223.1, latest  
edition. Use LP gas resistant pipe compound to seal  
threaded joints.  
An installer supplied, design certified gas pressure  
regulator must be installed to bring the gas supply  
pressure down to 14” w.c.  
WARNING: Never connect an unregulated gas line  
to the heater.  
IMPORTANT: Check gas line pressure before connect-  
ing heater to gas line. Gas line pressure must not be  
higher than 14” w.c. If gas line pressure is higher,  
heater gas pressure regulator damage could occur.  
1/16"  
(1.6mm)  
NOTE: The gas line connection can be made with 3/8”  
black 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 pressure  
loss will occur.  
RH102  
Fig. 4 Wall anchor.  
CAUTION: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to  
liquefied petroleum gases.  
Floor Installation  
1. The heater may only be installed on a noncombus-  
tible flat surface. Wall mounting screws may be used  
to keep heater from side movements.  
Install sediment trap in supply line as shown in Figure 6.  
Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for  
cleaning. Locate sediment trap where trapped matter is  
not likely to freeze. A sediment trap prevents moisture  
and contaminants from going into the heater controls. If  
the sediment trap is not installed or is installed wrong,  
the heater may not operate properly.  
2. Measure heater mounting screws location “X” as  
desired above floor. (Fig. 5)  
3. Use enclosed “paper template” for proper distance  
between holes. Be sure template is level. It may be  
necessary to use plastic or lead anchors for plaster  
wall.  
Test for gas leaks with a mild soap and water solution.  
Apply water/soap solution with brush only - do not over  
apply. NEVER test with an open flame.  
4. Drill holes at marked locations using 9/64” drill bit.

Ma in t e n a n ce  
Dust, lint, cobwebs or debris may affect heater perfor-  
mance. The heater draws air into it during normal  
operation and in the process dust, lint or debris may be  
drawn in also. It is important to keep the burner, gas  
control and combustion and circulating air passage-  
ways clean. Inspect or have these areas inspected  
annually at the beginning of the heating season by a  
qualified service person. Depending on the surround-  
ings, the room heater may require frequent cleaning  
due to excessive lint or debris.  
Burner and ODS Pilot Cleaning  
Clean the exterior with soft bristle brush, vacuum  
cleaner pressurized air. Never use a wooden toothpick  
as it may break off and clog the ODS pilot or main  
burner port.  
Use a flashlight to inspect the main burner inlet to  
ensure it is not blocked. If obstruction can be seen, use  
a metal wire coat hanger that has been straightened  
out.  
Before cleaning ensure the gas supply is off and the  
gas control knob is in the OFF position. Make sure the  
heater is cool.  
Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the primary air  
openings to the main burner(s).  
WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air openings  
to the burner(s) clean may result in sooting and  
property damage.  
WARNING: Danger of bodily injury. If fan assembly  
accessory is used, turn off power supply at discon-  
nect switch or service panel before removing any  
access panels from heater.  
In order to clean ODS pilot orifice, use pressurized air  
to blow dust out. Sometimes blowing air backwards  
through the pilot will get rid of the accumulated dirt. If  
that does not work, blow out any dust through primary  
air openings of pilot assemblies (Daemyeong has two  
openings; one beneath the bimetal strip and the second  
one opposite from bimetal strip. Use the one wide  
open, do not try to lift the bimetal strip.)  
Cleaning Air Passageways  
and Unit Casings  
Use a vacuum cleaner or pressurized air to clean the  
combustion and circulating air passageways and  
dampened cloth to clean the cabinet/casing.
