Your Olympian

 heater is designed and 

built to provide years of comfortable, 
radiant heat and economical LP Gas 
consumption. In order to minimize 
installation problems and maximize 
your heating comfort, read all of these 
instructions carefully and completely.

Olympian heaters produce mostly radiant 
heat as a result of a flameless catalytic 
combustion process. Its efficiency 
is high because combustion takes 
place at relatively low temperatures.

The wavelength of the radiant heat 
produced by Olympian heaters is 
particularly effective for creating 
a feeling of warm comfort similar 
to solar radiation. The sun is an 
excellent example of radiant heat 
transfer, because it transmits energy 
through space, releasing heat when 
its rays strike objects and people.

Like the sun, Olympian heaters radiate 
heat directly to people, floors, walls 
and other objects without heating the 
air first, so warmth is felt immediately. 
Radiant heat is absorbed by objects 
and then emitted into the air to heat 
the surrounding area. Therefore, your 
Olympian heater should be oriented to 
direct its heat rays toward the space 
to be heated, much like a floodlight is 
positioned to illuminate a desired area. 
Avoid placing furniture or objects in a 
place that will block the heat rays.

Your Olympian heater has undergone 
rigorous safety, performance and 
quality assurance testing before 
leaving the factory. It is designed to 
deliver years of trouble-free service. 

The INSTALLER must leave this set 
of instructions with the owner after 
installation is completed. (IMPORTANT: 
Installers must have the owner fill out 
and mail the warranty card supplied 
with each heater.) The OWNER should 
read this entire manual to be assured 
of a satisfactory installation and to 
fully understand operating procedures. 

Keep these instructions in a safe, 
convenient place for future reference.
