Adjusting the Blower Speed (Optional)
The optional blower helps transfer heat from the heater into the room. It will not turn on until the heater is
up to temperature (approximately 10 minutes after starting). See the illustration below for instructions on
adjusting the blower speed.
Normal Operating Sounds
Normal Operating Odors
This appliance has several areas that reach high temperatures. Dust or other particles on these areas
may burn and create an odor. This is normal during start-up. You may notice the smell is more acute if
the appliance was left idle for a long period.
Power Outages
The heater will work if household current (AC power) is disconnected.
OFF
Turn the dial all the
way counter-clockwise
until it clicks off.
HIGH
The high position is all the
way counter-clockwise,
without clicking off.
LOW
Turn the dial all the
way clockwise.
Gas Control Valve
As the gas control valve is turned on and off you will hear a dull
clicking sound. This is the valve opening up and shutting down.
The appliance may creak with change
of temperature -- THIS IS NORMAL.
Pilot Flame
The pilot flame will make a clicking
sound when starting up. When on, it
will make a slight whisper sound.
Blowers
This heater has optional blowers to push
heated air into the room. You will hear the
sound of air movement increase as the
speed is of the blower is increased.
Extinction Pops
It is not unusual, especially on Propane
(LP) appliances, to experience a "pop"
when the burner is shut off.
