1. Do not attempt to install, repair, or service this heater
or the gas supply line unless you have continuing
expert training and knowledge of gas heaters.
Qualifications for service and installation of this
equipment are as follows:
a. To be a qualified gas heater service person, you
must have sufficient training and experience to
handle all aspects of gas-fired heater installation,
service and repair. This includes the task of
installation, troubleshooting, replacement of
defective parts and testing of the heater. You
must be able to place the heater into a continuing
safe and normal operating condition. You must
completely familiarize yourself with each model
heater by reading and complying with the safety
instructions, labels, Owner’s Manual, etc., that is
provided with each heater.
b. To be a qualified gas installation person, you must
have sufficient training and experience to handle
all aspects of installing, repairing and altering gas
lines, including selecting and installing the proper
equipment, and selecting proper pipe and tank
size to be used. This must be done in accordance
with all local, regional and national codes as well
as the manufacturer’s requirements.
2. All installations and applications of L.B. White heaters
must meet all relevant local, regional and national
codes. Included are L.P. gas, natural gas, electrical,
and safety codes. Your local fuel gas supplier, a local
licensed electrician, the local fire department or
similar government agencies, or your insurance agent
can help you determine code requirements.
3. Do not move, handle, or service heater while in
operation or connected to a power or fuel supply.
4. Do not wash the interior or exterior of the heater. Use
only compressed air, a soft brush or dry cloth to clean
the interior or exterior of the heater and it’s
components.
5. For safety, this heater is equipped with manual reset
high-limit switches and an air flow switch. Never
operate this heater with any safety device that has
been bypassed. Do not operate this heater unless all
of these features are fully functioning.
6. Do not operate the heater with its door open or panel
removed.
7. The heater must be located at least 1.83 m from any
LP-Gas container.
8. Do not block air intakes or discharge outlets of the
heater. Doing so may cause improper combustion or
damage to heater components leading to property
damage.
9. The hose assembly shall be visually inspected prior to
each use of the heater. If it is evident there is
excessive abrasion or wear, or if the hose is cut, it
must be replaced prior to the heater being put into
operation. The hose assembly shall be protected
from traffic, building materials, and contact with hot
surfaces during use. The hose assembly shall be that
specified by the manufacturer. See parts list.
10. Check for gas leaks and proper function upon heater
installation or when relocating.
11. This heater should be inspected for proper operation
by a qualified service person upon installation and at
least annually.
12. Always turn off the gas supply to the heater if the
heater is not going to be used.
13. This heater is wired for a three-wire electrical system.
There is a hot lead, neutral lead, and a ground lead.
The heater may or may not incorporate a plug in the
power cord on the heater and the plug may or may
not incorporate a pin for the ground wire. In any
case, the heater must be properly connected into a
grounded electrical supply using the ground lead in
the power cord. Failure to use a properly grounded
electrical supply can result in electrical shock,
personal injury, or death.
14. The ignition control module will make only one trial
for ignition. If ignition is not achieved after the one
trial, the control system will “lock out” the gas control
valve. If gas is smelled after system lock out has
occurred, immediately close all fuel supply valves. Do
not relight until you are sure that all gas that may
have accumulated has cleared away. In any event, do
not relight for at least 5 minutes.
15. Installations not using the gas hose supplied with this
appliance must connect dimensionally using BS1387
Medium Duty Galvanized Steel Tube. (Aluminum

when used for conveying natural gas, shall be
internally tinned or equivalently treated to resist
sulphur.
16. The minimum gas cylinder size shall be a 47 KG
cylinder.
17. The hot air discharge of the heater and its ductwork
shall not be directed toward any L.P. gas cylinder
within 6.10 m of the air discharge.

supply cylinder and the heater must be disconnected.
The cylinder(s) must be moved from the heater and
stored in accordance with local codes.
