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. 

15.  If installed in a garage, this heater must be 

wall  mounted  only.    The  bottom  of  the
