WARNING: CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING INSTALLATION INFORMATION.
Catalytic Safety Heater
Your Olympian
heater is designed and
built to provide years of comfortable,
radiant heat and economical LP Gas
consumption. In order to minimize
installation problems and maximize
your heating comfort, read all of these
instructions carefully and completely.
Olympian heaters produce mostly radiant
heat as a result of a flameless catalytic
combustion process. Its efficiency
is high because combustion takes
place at relatively low temperatures.
The wavelength of the radiant heat
produced by Olympian heaters is
particularly effective for creating
a feeling of warm comfort similar
to solar radiation. The sun is an
excellent example of radiant heat
transfer, because it transmits energy
through space, releasing heat when
its rays strike objects and people.
Like the sun, Olympian heaters radiate
heat directly to people, floors, walls
and other objects without heating the
air first, so warmth is felt immediately.
Radiant heat is absorbed by objects
and then emitted into the air to heat
the surrounding area. Therefore, your
Olympian heater should be oriented to
direct its heat rays toward the space
to be heated, much like a floodlight is
positioned to illuminate a desired area.
Avoid placing furniture or objects in a
place that will block the heat rays.
This is a heating appliance. Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing must be replaced prior to operating the heater.
If product components are missing or damaged do not return to dealer.
