WARNING: Any change to this heater or its
controls could cause injury or death.
1. Use only manufacturer’s replacement parts. Use of any other
parts could cause injury or death.
2. Be sure the heater is for type of gas to be used. Do not
change it to use with other gases. Unsafe operation could
result and could cause bodily injury and death.
3. It is prohibited to install the heater in a bedroom, trailer or
recreational vehicle/mobile home, etc (see exceptions on the
front page). If installed in a garage or basement, heater must
be a minimum of 24" above the floor.
4. Use joint compound (pipe dope) on threaded joints of gas
piping that is resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum
gas.
5. Use only ground joint unions in gas piping.
6. Install a manual shutoff valve and union ahead of the controls
so that the controls and heater may be removed for servicing,
if necessary.
7. Include a 1/8 NPT plugged tapping accessible for test gauge
connection immediately upstream of the gas supply
connection to the heater.
8. Never test for gas leaks with an open flame. Use soap suds
to check all gas connections. This will avoid the possibility of
fire or explosion.
9. Turn off heater and let cool before servicing. Only a qualified
service person should service and repair this heater.
10. DO NOT PLACE CLOTHING OR OTHER FLAMMABLE
MATERIAL ON OR NEAR THE APPLIANCE.
11. DO NOT modify or alter the heater in any way.
12. Clean the heater and periodically inspect the pilot and burner
flame as described in the maintenance section of this manual.
13. Disconnect the heater during supply line pressure testing.
14. Follow the lighting and operating procedures given in this
manual.
15. Since the vent-free gas heaters may easily increase the
amount of humidity in the room, the larger the burner size the
more humidity present. This can cause excessive moisture
accumulation on windows and other surfaces.
16. If L.P. gas is required, the L.P. supply tank must be placed
outside the house. It must be installed in a well ventilated
area away from the house. The distances must be placed as
prescribed by the law. Check local and state codes and laws
in order to comply with proper safety requirements.
WARNING:
Do not use this unvented room heater if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the
unvented room heater and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.
