15 seconds after pilot is lit. If knob does not pop out 

when released, stop and immediately call your service 

technician or gas supplier. If the pilot will not stay lit after 

several tries, turn the gas control knob to "OFF" and call 

your service technician or your gas supplier.

or set the thermostat to the desired temperature above 

room temperature.

10. Adjust the flame height (and heat output) by turning the 

flame height knob clockwise               for full flame and 

counter-clockwise               for reduced flame.

11. Turn on the electric power to the appliance and set the 

blower to the desired air flow after it turns on when the 

appliance reaches operating temperature.

TO TURN OFF GAS TO APPLIANCE

1. Turn off the "ON/OFF" rocker switch and/or thermostat (if 

installed) to its lowest setting.

2. Turn off electric power to the appliance if service is to 

be performed.

3. Push in gas control knob slightly and turn clockwise

               to "OFF." Do not force.

This  appliance  needs  fresh  air  for  safe  operation  and 

must be installed so there are provisions for adequate 

combustion and ventilation air. 

SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE

To turn off the burner, turn the rocker switch to "OFF" or 

adjust the thermostat (if installed) to a setting below room 

temperature. The pilot will remain lit for future burner igni-

tion. For complete shutdown, see "TO TURN OFF GAS TO 

APPLIANCE" above.

       WARNINGS

 

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, 

service  or  maintenance  can  cause  injury  or 

property damage. For assistance or additional 

information, consult a qualified installer, service 

agency or your gas supplier.

 

Operation of this appliance when not connected 

to a properly installed and maintained venting 

system  can  result  in  carbon  monoxide  (CO) 

poisoning and possible death.

 

Carbon  monoxide  poisoning  –  early  signs  of 

carbon  monoxide  poisoning  resemble  the  flu 

with headaches, dizziness, or nausea.  If you 

have these signs, get fresh air at once!  Have 

the  heater  inspected  by  a  qualified  service 

technician.  Some people are more affected by 

carbon monoxide than others.  These include 

pregnant  women,  people  with  heart  or  lung 

disease or anemia, those under the influence 

of alcohol and those at high altitudes.
