Read this Installation and Owners Guide carefully and completely before attempting to install, operate or
service this heater. Improper use of this heater can result in serious bodily injury or death due to hazards of
fire, explosion, electrical shock or carbon monoxide poisoning. When used without fresh air, this heater may
give off
CARBON MONOXIDE,
an odorless, poisonous gas.
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING MAY
LEAD TO DEATH!
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flue with headache, dizziness
and/or nausea. If you have these signs, the heater may not be working properly.
Get fresh air at once, and
have the heater serviced
. Some people such as pregnant women, persons with heart or lung disease,
anemia, those under the influence of alcohol, and those at higher altitudes are more affected by carbon
monoxide than others. Retain this manual for future reference. It is your guide to many years of a proper
and safer operation of the heater.
1.
Children and adults should be alerted to the
hazard of high surface temperatures and
should stay away to avoid burns or clothing
ignition.
2.
Young children should be carefully supervised
when they are in the room with the heater.
3.
Do not install this heater at altitudes above 5000
ft. because shutdown of the heater by the ODS
system may occur due to reduced oxygen levels
at these altitudes.
4.
This appliance is
only
for use with the type of
gas indicated on the nameplate.
THIS
APPLIANCE IS NOT CONVERTIBLE FOR USE
WITH OTHER GASES
. Please check the gas
type shown on the heater nameplate prior to
hooking the heater to the gas supply.
5.
DO NOT
install this heater in bedrooms or
bathrooms. The maximum input for use in
bathrooms is 6,000 Btu/hr and 10,000 Btu/hr
in bedrooms where not prohibited by local codes.
6.
LPG containers (Propane cylinders)
must not
be used or stored indoors.
7.
DO NOT
install this heater directly onto an LPG
container or propane cylinder without directions
from your propane company because high gas
pressure can damage this heater.
8.
Always operate the heater at the OFF, P or one
of the three locked positions. Never operate
the heater at any setting between these locked
positions, as this may result in improper
combustion.
9.
DO NOT locate this heater in high traffic areas
or in windy or drafty locations.
10. Keep the area near the heater free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
11. This appliance may be installed in an aftermarket*
manufactured (mobile) home, where not
prohibited by state or local codes. *Aftermarket:
Completion of sale, not for purpose of resale,
from the manufacturer.
12.
DO NOT
use this heater if any part has been
under water. Immediately call a qualified service
person to inspect the room heater and to replace
any part of the control system and any gas
control that has been under water.
13. This heater has a pilot light safety system that
turns off the heater if enough fresh air is not
available. The pilot light safety section on this
unit does not sense the presence of carbon
monoxide. It sense the depletion of the oxygen
s u p p l y u s e d i n t h e c o m b u s t i o n
process.Combustion of gas with a depleted
oxygen supply is one source of carbon monoxide.
14. If this heater is installed in a room having a high
vertical dimension, a fan to circulate the air is
recommended to improve the comfort level in
the room. When a fan is used to circulate air,
it should be located so that the airflow is not
directed at the burner.
15. If installed in a garage, this heater must be wall
mounted only. The bottom of the heater must
be a minimum of 18" above the finished floor.
16. A vent-free gas heater will increase the amount
of humidity in the room in which it is installed.
This is an unvented gas fired heater. It uses
air (oxygen) from the room in which it is
installed. Provisions for adequate combustion
and ventilation air must be provided. Refer to
page 3 for a worksheet to determine whether
the proposed installation site is defined as
confined or unconfined.
17. A fresh air opening for combustion and ventilation
air must be provided in the room where the
heater is installed. The opening must have at
least one square inch of free air opening per
1,000 Btu/hr of gas consumption for the total
input rating of all gas equipment in the space.
18. This heater shall not be installed in a confined
space or unusually tight construction unless
provisions are provided for adequate combustion
and ventilation air.
19. Unusually tight construction is defined as
construction where:
a) Walls and ceilings exposed to the outside
atmosphere have a continuous water vapor
retarder with a rating of 1 perm (6x10
-11
kg
per pa-sec-m
2
)or less with opeings gasketed
or sealed;
b) Weather stripping has been added on
openable windows and doors; and
c) Caulking or sealants are applied to areas
such as joints around window and door
frames, between sole plates and floors,
between wall-ceiling joints, between wall
panels, at penetrations for plumbing,
electrical, and gas lines, and other openings.
