Unvented Natural Gas Fired Room Heater

DANGER:

 Carbon monoxide poisoning may lead to death. 

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:

Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the 
flu, 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 influence of alcohol, and those at 
high altitudes.

Natural Gas:

Natural gas is odorless. An odor making agent is added to 
natural gas. The odor helps you detect a natural gas leak. 
However, the odor added to the gas can fade. 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. 

 Either of the 10,000 BTU (2931 W) units (the 

HSVFRD10NG or the HSVFBF10NG) may be installed in 

a bedroom, but shall not be installed in 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 4.

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

any blockage. This will ensure 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 qualified 

service person should service and repair heater.

6.  Do not run heater:

• 

Where flammable 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 qualified 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.

**Operating heater above elevations of 4,500 feet could cause pilot/ODS to shutdown heater.**
