WARNING:  Due to the continuous length of time the heater might be in operation, a 100 lb. LP gas cylinder may not 
be sufficient in size.  Manifolding several cylinders together is a practical way of increasing the time of operation of 
these heaters.  Operation of the heater with insufficient sized cylinders or when the liquid level becomes too low will 
result in poor heater performance and can cause sooting.  Consult your LP gas dealer for proper sizing of container. 
Always turn the gas off at the tank or cylinder when the heater is not in use.  When in operation, keep the heater a safe 
distance from the LP gas container and combustible materials as indicated on the heater and in the instructions.  Fasten 
LP cylinders securely so they cannot be knocked over. 

 
8.  VENTILATION AND COMBUSTION AIR 
 

This heater requires ventilation in the building to dilute the products of combustion and provide fresh air for  

efficient 

combustion.  The minimum recommended vent flow required is as follows: 
   

 

   

 

 

RFPA21A: 

 

880 cfm 

  The combustion air enters through the heater base and must not be restricted.   DO NOT block or enclose any  part of 
the heater base.  All ventilation in the building must be at a level above the height of the heater. 
 
9.  LIGHTING AND SHUTDOWN INSTRUCTIONS 
 

MODELS WITH IGNITION SUFFIX "-6"

3.  If heater does not light, shut off gas completely for five minutes 

before attempting to relight.
