Safety Devices

Adequate combustion and ventilation air must be pro-
vided. The flow of combustion and ventilation air MUST
NOT be obstructed.
Provide adequate clearances around the air opening
into the combustion chamber and adequate accessibili-
ty clearance for servicing and proper operation. NEVER
obstruct any opening of the heater.
This heater is equipped with a pilot system featuring an
Oxygen Depletion Sensor (O.D.S.) shut-off device. All

Gas and 10" w.c. for LP gas)
Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are
certified without deration from elevations up to
4,500 feet (1,370m) above sea level.
Nuisance outages may occur at altitudes above
4,500 feet (1,370m) if dirt, dust, lint and/or cob-
webs are allowed to accumulate on burner and/or
