Odor During Operation

Neither natural gas nor propane gas give off an odor when
burned. The nature of a vent free combustion system,
however, is such that odors may occasionally be produced
during heater operation when impurities exist in the immediate
area. Cleaning solutions, paint, solvents, cigarette smoke,
candles, adhesives, new carpet or textiles, etc., all can create
fumes. These fumes may mix with combustion air and can
create odor. Such odors will disappear over time, however the
condition can be alleviated by opening a window or otherwise
providing additional ventilation to the area.
