6. This heater needs fresh, outside air ventilation to run properly.
This heater has an Oxygen Depletion Sensing (ODS) safety
shutoff system. The ODS shuts down the heater if not enough
fresh air is available. See Air for Combustion and Ventilation,
pages 4 through 6.

side air. If heater keeps shutting off, have it serviced.

ately call a qualified service technician to inspect the room
heater and to replace any part of the control system and any
gas control which has been under water.
10. Turn off heater, unplug blower and let heater cool before ser-
vicing. Only a qualified service person should service and re-
pair heater.
11. Operating heater above elevations of 4,500 feet could cause
pilot outage.
12. To prevent performance problems, do not use propane/LP fuel
tank of less than 100 lbs. capacity.
13. Before using furniture polish, wax, carpet cleaner, or similar
products, turn heater off. If heated, the vapors from these prod-
ucts may create a white powder residue within burner box or
on adjacent walls or furniture.
