Listing and Code Approvals

A. Appliance Certifi cation
MODELS: Soho24B
LABORATORY: Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL)
TYPE: Direct Vent Gas Appliance Heater
STANDARD: ANSI Z21.88a-2007 • CSA2.33a-2007
This product is listed to ANSI standards for "Vented Gas
Appliance Heaters" and applicable sections of "Gas
Burning Heating Appliances for Manufactured Homes
and Recreational Vehicles", and "Gas Fired Appliances
for Use at High Altitudes".
NOT INTENDED FOR USE AS A PRIMARY HEAT SOURCE.
This appliance is tested and approved as either supplemen-
tal room heat or as a decorative appliance. It should not be
factored as primary heat in residential heating calculations.
B. Glass Specifi cations
Hearth & Home Technologies appliances manufactured with
tempered glass may be installed in hazardous locations such
as bathtub enclosures as defi ned by the Consumer Product
Safety Commission (CPSC). The tempered glass has been
tested and certifi ed to the requirements of ANSI Z97.1 and

SGCC# 1595 and 1597. Architectural Testing, Inc. Reports
02-31919.01 and 02-31917.01).
This statement is in compliance with CPSC 16 CFR Section
1201.5 "Certifi cation and labeling requirements" which refers

D. High Altitude Installations
U.L. Listed gas appliances are tested and approved without
requiring changes for elevations from 0 to 2000 feet in the
U.S.A. and Canada.
When installing this appliance at an elevation above 2000
feet, it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by
changing the existing burner orifi ce to a smaller size. Input
rate should be reduced by 4% for each 1000 feet above
a 2000 foot elevation in the U.S.A., or 10% for elevations
between 2000 and 4500 feet in Canada. If the heating value
of the gas has been reduced, these rules do not apply. To
identify the proper orifi ce size, check with the local gas utility.
If installing this appliance at an elevation above 4500 feet (in
Canada), check with local authorities.
Do NOT use this appliance if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualifi ed service technician to inspect the
appliance and to replace any part of the control system and
any gas control which has been under water.

slate, glass or plasters, or any combination thereof.
Materials that are reported as passing ASTM E 136,
Standard Test Method for Behavior of Materials in a
Vertical Tube Furnace at 750ºC, shall be considered
non-combustible materials.
F. Combustible Materials Specifi cation
Materials made of or surfaced with wood, compressed
paper, plant fi bers, plastics, or other material that can
ignite and burn, whether fl ame proofed or not, or whether
plastered or unplastered shall be considered combustible
materials.
