WARNING
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 within it require fresh air in order 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 is insufficient to meet the demands of
these appliances, problems can result.
The Radiance Unvented heater has specific fresh air
requirements. You must determine that these fresh air
requirements will be met within the space where the
appliance will be installed. The following information will
help you insure that adequate fresh air is available for the
heater to function properly.
!
If the area in which the heater may be operated does
not meet the required volume for indoor combustion air,
combustion and ventilation air shall be provided by one
of the methods described in the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the International Fuel Gas Code
or applicable local codes.
