General Information
This gas room heater should be installed by a qualified
installer in accordance with local building codes and
with current National Fuel Gas Code. ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54.
This heater should not be installed in a confined space
unless provisions are made for adequate combustion
and ventilation air.
The National Fuel Gas Code defines a confined space
as "a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet
per 1000 BTU per hour (4.83 per kw) of the aggregate
input rating of all appliances installed in that space" and
unconfined space as "space."
WARNING: If the area in which the heater may be
operated is smaller than that defined as an "unconfined
space," provide adequate combustion and ventilation
air by one of the methods described in the National
Fuel Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, 1992, Section 5.3.
FOR SAFE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF
YOUR PYROMASTER VENT-FREE ROOM HEATER
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
1. This heater gives off high temperatures and should
be located out of high traffic areas and away from
furniture and draperies.
2. This appliance is for supplemental heating only. It
should not be used as the primary heat source for a
dwelling.
3. Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards
of the high surface temperatures of this heater and
should stay away to avoid burns or ignition of
clothing.
4. Children should be carefully supervised when they
are in the same room as your heater.
5. Under no circumstances should this heater be
modified. Parts removed for service should be
replaced prior to operating this heater again.
6. Installation and any repairs to this heater should be
carried out by a qualified service person. A professional service person should be contacted to inspect
this heater annually. Make it a practice to have all of
your gas heaters checked annually. More frequent
cleaning may be required due to excess lint and dust
from carpeting, bedding material, etc.
7. Control compartments, burners and air passages in
this heater should be kept clean and free of dust and
lint. Make sure that the gas valve and pilot light are
20001540
Safety Devices
Adequate combustion and ventilation air must be
provided. The flow of combustion and ventilation air
MUST NOT be obstructed.
Provide adequate clearances around the air opening
into the combustion chamber; and adequate accessibility clearance for servicing and proper operation.
NEVER obstruct the front opening of the heater or
cover the top and bottom louvres.
These heaters are equipped with a pilot system featuring an Oxygen Depletion Sensor (O.D.S.) shut-off
device. All unvented heaters are required to have this
system. The O.D.S. pilot will shut down the heater
when there is not enough fresh air available.
Report any parts damaged in shipment to your dealer.

Planning
Planning the installation is an important first step: it will
save time and money later in the actual installation. In
planning the installation, consider:
1. Where the heater will be located.
2. All components needed to complete the
project.
20001540
Installation
Preparing the UVHB20
The UVHB20 may only be used with the approved
mantel and hearth assembly.
1. After determining a location, open the mantel hearth
base carton and place into position on a solid
surface. NOTE: Be sure to level the base before
setting the UVHB20 heater in place.
2. Place the heater on the hearth base centering side
to side and 3/4" from the back edge of the hearth
base (Fig. 1)
3. Bend the lower mounting tabs down against the
hearth base and secure with two (2) wood screws
(Fig. 1)

Fan Operation
The FK24 fan has a heat sensor that will not allow the
fan to come on until heater reaches a preset temperature, approximately 100-120 F. Once the heater
reaches temperature use the speed control knob to turn
fan on and off to adjust fan speed.

Rock Placement
Spread the volcanic rock (gravel size) on the burner

realistic look.

Ember Placement
Separate the ember material into small pieces and
place onto the grill in front of the front burner. Do NOT
pack down, leave in fluffy, loose condition for most
realistic ember effects. Do not install more embers
on the burner than come with the unit.

Operating Instructions
First Firing
Upon completing the gas line connection, a small
amount of air will be trapped in the line. When first
lighting the unit with pilot light, it will take a few minutes
to purge the trapped air. Once purging is complete, the
pilot and burner will light and operate as indicated in the
instruction manual. Subsequent lightings of the appliance will not require purging.
When lit for the first time, the appliance will emit a slight
odor for an hour or two. This is due to paint and lubricants used in the manufacturing process. After each
lighting, vapor may condense and fog the glass; this
moisture disappears within a few minutes of burning.

Flame Adjustment
For units equipped with Hi/Lo valves, flame adjustment
is accomplished by rotating the Hi/Lo adjustment knob
located near the center of the gas control. (Fig. 12)
