Unvented Liquid Propane Fired Room Heater

DANGER

: Carbon monoxide poisoning may lead to 

death. 

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:

Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble 
the fl u, with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If you 
have these signs, the heater may not be working 
properly. Get fresh air at once! Have heater serviced. 
Some people are more affected by carbon monoxide 
than others. These include pregnant women, persons 
with heart or lung disease or anemia, those under the 
infl uence of alcohol, and those at high altitudes.

Propane/LP Gas:

Propoane/LP gas is odorless. An odor making agent is 
added to propane/LP gas. The odor helps you detect 
a Propane/LP gas leak. However the odor added to 
propane/LP gas may be present even though no odor 
exists. Make certain you read and understand all 
warnings. Keep this manual for reference. It is your 
guide to safe and proper operation of this heater.

PRECAUTIONS:

1. 10,000 BTU may be installed in a bedroom, but not 

a bathroom, or any place where a strong wind would 
shut down the appliance.

2. This heater needs outside ventilation air to run 

properly. The Oxygen Depletion Sensor (ODS) safety 
shutoff system shuts down the heater if not enough 
fresh air is available. See 

Fresh Air for Combustion 

and Ventilation

, page 5.

3. Keep all air openings in heater clear, free of debris 

or any blockage. This will insure that enough air for 
proper combustion enters the heater.

4. If heater shuts off, do not relight until you provide 

fresh, outside air. If heater keeps shutting off, it 
requires servicing.

5. Turn off and let cool before servicing. Only a qualifi ed 

service person should service and repair heater.

6. Do not run heater:

• 

Where fl ammable liquids or vapors are used or stored

• 

During dusty conditions.

7. 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.

8. Do not use heater if any part has been underwater. 

Immediately call a qualifi ed service technician to 
inspect the room heater and to replace any part of 
the control system and any gas control which has 
been underwater.

9. Operating heater above elevations of 4,500 feet 

could cause pilot/ODS to shutdown heater.

10. Always run heater with control knob in a locked 

position. Never set control knob between locked 
positions. Poor combustion and higher levels of 
carbon monoxide may result if control knob is left 
between locked positions.
