SAFETY DEVICE
This heater has a pilot with an Oxygen Depletion Sensing (ODS)
safety shutoff system. The ODS/pilot is a required feature for vent-
free room heaters. The ODS/pilot shuts off the heater if there is not
enough fresh air.
PIEZO IGNITION SYSTEM
This heater has a piezo ignitor. This system requires no matches,
batteries, or other sources to light heater.
THERMOSTATIC HEAT CONTROL
Thermostat models have a thermostat sensing bulb and a control
valve. This results in the greatest heater comfort. This can also result
in lower gas bills.

This heater needs fresh, outside air ventilation to run properly.
This heater has an Oxygen Depletion Sensing (ODS) safety
shutoff system. The ODS shuts down the heater if not enough
fresh air is available. See Air for Combustion and Ventilation,
pages 4 through 6.
6.
Keep all air openings in the front and bottom of heater clear and
free of debris. This will insure enough air for proper combustion.
7.
If heater and pilot shuts off unexpectedly, do not relight the
pilot until you provide fresh, outside air. If heater keeps shut-
ting off, have it serviced.
8.
Do not run heater
• where flammable liquids or vapors are used or stored
• under dusty conditions
9.
Before using furniture polish, wax, carpet cleaner, or similar
products, turn heater off. If heated, the vapors from these prod-
ucts may create a white powder residue within burner box or
on adjacent walls or furniture.
10. Do not use heater if any part has been under water. Immedi-
ately call a qualified service technician to inspect the room
heater and to replace any part of the control system and any
gas control which has been under water.
11. Turn off heater and let cool before servicing. Only a qualified
service person should service and repair heater.
12. Operating heater above elevations of 4,500 feet (1 370 m) could
cause pilot outage due to lower levels of oxygen in the air.
13. To prevent performance problems, do not use propane/LP fuel
tank of less than 100 lbs. (45 kg) capacity.
