CONSUMER INFORMATION AND-SAfETY•. AWARNINO -
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission warns that carbon monoxide is an "invisible killer". Carbon monoxide
is a colorless and odorless gas.
1. Carbon monoxide is produced by burning fuel, including natural gas and propane.
2. Proper installation, operation and maintenance of fuel -burning appliances in the home is the most important
factorin reducing carbon monoxide poisoning.
t
3. Be sure that fuel burning appliances such as heaters are installed by professionals according to inanu.. .
instructions and codes. facturer's
4. Always follow the manufacturer's directions for safe'operation.
5. Have the heating system (including vents) inspected and serviced annually by a trained service technician.
6. Examine vents regularly for improper connections, visible cracks, rust or stains.
7. Install battery -operated carbon monoxide alarms. The alarms should be certified to the requirements of the
most recent UL iAS, CSA and IAPMO standard for carbon monoxide alas. Test carbon monoxide alarms
regularly and replace rmdead batteries.

HEATER DESCRIPTION
Figure 1 is a diagram ofthebeater showing howitoperates.Precisely
matched orifice plates meter the air and gas into the mixer. The
blower draws the air and gas through the mixer and forces it into
the burner's flame holder. A sealed heat exchanger surrounds the
flame holder, discharging exhaust gases out the flue.
Two inch PVC waterpiping connects directly to the matrifold/header
on the heat exchanger using 2" PVC slip unions provided with the
treater. The outer manifold remains cool; no heat sinks are required.
A thermal regulator and an internal bypass regulate the water flow

Before installing the gas line, be sure to check which gas the heater has been designed to bum. This'is important because .
different types of gas require different gas pipe sizes. The rating plate on the heater will indicate which gas the heater is
designed to bum. The Table 2, shown on page 15, show which size pipe is required for the distance from'the gas matet•to .`
the heater. The table is for natural gas at a specific gravity of .65 and propane at a specific gravity of 1.55.
When sizinggas lines, calculate three (3) additional feet of straightpipe forevery elbow used. When installingthe gas

TESTING GAS PRESSURE
Before operating the heater, the heater and its gas connections must be leak tested. Do NOT use an open flame to t'
for leaks. Test all gas connections for leaks with soapy water or another non-flammable method (see page 14).
The heater and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressi
testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3,5 kPa).
The heatermust be isolated from the gas supply system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressr
testing of the gas supply at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

INDOOR VENTING -- General Requirements
The heater may be installed as a Category I or Category III appliance.
Vented Appliance (Category 1) —Vertical only
An appliance that operates with a nonpositive vent static pressure and with a vent gas temperature -that avoids excessive
condensate production in the vent, see pages 20-23. `
Vented Appliance (Category Ill) —vertical or Horizontal
An appliance that operates with a positive vent static pressure and with. a vent gas temperature that avoids excessive.
condensate production in the vent, see pages 24-26.
. I
If you are considering connecting this heater to a pre-existing vent system, make sure that the vent system meets the
appropriate venting requirements as given in this manual on pages 18.28. If not, replace the vent system. DO NOT use i
a draft hood with this heater. l
The MasterTemp heaters are capable of a 270-degree discharge rotation and operate with a positive vent static pressure
and with a vent gas temperature less than 400' F (204° C); The total length of the horizontal run trust not exceedthe length : )
that is listed in Table l l on page 21-22.
HEATER CLEARANCES — General Requirements
INDOOR INSTALLATION (U.S.) OR OUTDOOR SHELTER (CANADA)
The following clearances must be maintained from combustible surfaces;
TOP ..............................6 in. (15 cm)
EXHAUST SIDE .......... 6 In. (IS cm)
HEADER SIDE ............6 In. (15 cm)
DOOR PANELSt ........6 In. (15 cm)
Note (t) For senice access it is advisable to allow for sufficient clearance
on at least one door panel. The heater is design certified by CSA
International for installation on combustible flooring. For installation on
carpeting, the heater must be mounted on a metal or wood panel that
extends at least three inches (1 Ocm) beyond the base of the heater. If the
Treater is installed in acloset oralcove, the entire floorshall be covered by
the panel. On an outdoor shelter installation, the exhaust discharges into a
vent pipe. Orient the heater so that the vent pipe does not interfere with
adjustment ofthe operating controls. The control panel.located on the top
panel can be rotated to any of the three sides of the heater for easy
access. However, the control panel must not be located on the side where
the vent is located.

CONTROL PANEL INDEXING
On an.outdoor shelter installation, the exhaust discharges into a vent pipe, t
Orient the heater so that the vent pipe does not interfere with adjushrtent of the
operating controls. The control panel located on the top panel can be rotated to
any of the three sides of the heater for easy access, see i'loure 19.
I. Remove the bolts from the door panels. Remove both door access panels.
2. Remove the four comer ruing nuts that secure the top panel. Lift the top
panel upward to remove the top panel.
3. Rotate the top panel to the desired position located at 900 angles. Note
that the control panel must NOT he located on the side tvlrere the vent
is located.
4.' Replace the top panel down onto the Side panels. Be sure that there are no
wires caught under the panel.
5. Secure the top panel using the four comer wing nuts.
6. Reattach the door access panels.

FINAL INSTALLATION CHECK
Check that horizontal vent pipe runs slope uniformly at least 1/4" per foot (2cm per meter) to condensate drain(s)..'••
No sags, no dips, no high or low spots.
.Check thatvent is supported at elbows, tees, and horizontal and vertical runs according to manufacturer's instructions and
code requirements.
Check that vent supports and wall and ceiling penetrations allow free movements rip, down, and sideways without putting T....
any strains on the heater or vent body.
Check for at least six inch (15cm) free air clearance between the heater vent pipe and combustible materials..
Check that all joints are completely together and sealed.
In Florida, building codes require that the heater be anchored to the equipment pad or platform to I
withstand high wind pressures created during hurricanes. A Bolt Down Bracket Kit, PIN 460738, is ,:, .Dolts end damps�n9 f available with anchor clamps designed to hold the unit to the equipment pad in high wind conditions. Purchase eaparalay f
