5. For infrared models, always run heater with
manual control knob in locked positions.
Never set control knob between locked posi-
tions. Poor combustion and higher levels of
carbon monoxide may result.
6. 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,
page 5.
7. Keep all air openings in front and bottom of
heater clear and free of debris. This will insure
enough air for proper combustion.

provide fresh, outside air. If heater keeps
shutting off, have it serviced.
9. Do not run heater
• where flammable liquids or vapors are used
or stored
• under dusty conditions
10. Before using furniture polish, wax, carpet
cleaner or similar products, turn heater off. If
heated, the vapors from these products may
create a white powder residue within burner
box or on adjacent walls or furniture.
11. Do not use heater if any part has been under
water. Immediately 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.
12. Turn off and let cool before servicing. Only
a qualified service person should service and
repair heater.
13. Operating heater above elevations of 4,500
feet could cause pilot outage.

PRODUCT FEATURES
SAFETY DEVICE
This heater has a pilot with an Oxygen Deple-
tion 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 re-
quires 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 great-
est heater comfort. This can also result in lower
gas bills.
