ANY ALTERATION TO THE ORIGINAL DESIGN, INSTALLED OTHER THAN AS SHOWN IN THESE
INSTRUCTIONS, OR USED WITH A TYPE OF GAS NOT SHOWN ON THE RATING PLATE IS PROHIBITED
AND VOIDS THE WARRANTY.
The installation must conform to local codes. In the absence of local codes, the installation must
conform to the National Fuel Gas Code, also known as NFPA 54 and ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition.
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer (i.e., a licensed heating contractor
or gas company personnel).
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. This is a heating appliance any safety screen
or guard removed for servicing an appliance
must be replaced prior to operating the
appliance.
2. Children and adults should be alerted to the
hazard of high surface temperatures and
should stay away to avoid burns or clothing
ignition.
3. Young
children
should
be
carefully
supervised when they are in the room with
the heater.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. DO NOT install this heater in bathrooms. The
maximum input for use in bathrooms in
6,000 Btu/hr and 10,000 Btu/hr in
bedrooms where not prohibited by local
codes.
7. LPG containers (Propane cylinders) must not
be used or stored indoors.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. DO NOT locate this heater in high traffic
areas or in windy or drafty locations.
11. Keep the area near the heater free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
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 senses the
depletion of the oxygen supply used in the
combustion 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.
