Warning: This heater is hot while
in operation. Do not touch. Keep
children, clothing and furniture
away. Never operate this heater
without the factory-installed
dress guard in place. Never use
this heater to dry clothes, cook
on, or for any other purpose other
than providing heat to the area
around the heater.
Notice:
The heater will go
through a curing process during
its initial (first 2 to 3 hours)
operating period and may emit
some smoke and fumes (burning
off oil, etc.). Be prepared for any
smoke and fumes by raising
windows or opening doors to
provide additional ventilation
during this initial operating
period.

PERATES
This heater is to be installed either wall mounted or freestanding
according to these instructions and must not be enclosed within a
confined space or within a cabinet. It is intended to provide heat directly
to the space in which it is located. The heater is designed, tested and
built to operate safely, when installed according to these instructions, in
areas built of material common to residential construction. Any alteration
of the heater or any installation and use not in accordance with these
instructions may be hazardous. Refer to "

OMBUSTION AND
for details.
The heater's burner plaques produce heat as soon as they are lit. During
operation, the heater gives off infrared radiant heat which travels through
the air and heats nearby objects first, then heats the room air.
The control system on this heater is a safety system that must not be
tampered with. Do not attempt to make any adjustments to the control
or pilot other than those described in the "
"T
or
ROUBLESHOOTING
The control system on this heater serves several functions. It regulates
the incoming gas to the correct pressure for the combustion rate required.
It will not regulate LP gas directly from the container; a separate regulator
must be installed on the tank or bottle to reduce the gas pressure supplied
to the heater to between 11 and 13 inches water column. The control
system also provides a safety shutoff to allow gas to flow to the burner
assembly only when the pilot is burning and to shut off gas to both the
pilot and burner assembly should the pilot flame not be burning. The
control system provides a manual valve to turn gas on and off to the
burner assembly. The control has a thermostat which automatically shuts
off the burner assembly when the room reaches a selected temperature.
There is a safety feature in the control valve which will lock the control
knob in the 'Off' position until the pilot valve closes, should the control
knob be accidentally turned to 'Off' while the pilot is burning; this prevents
escape of unburned gases. The control system also regulates the pilot
gas flow as required for proper operation and provides for shutoff of the
gas to the pilot and burner assembly before the oxygen in the area of the
heater is depleted to dangerous levels.
Air is pulled into the burner assembly by the gas stream and mixed with
the gas inside the burner assembly before burning. Additional air required
to complete the burning of the gas enters the heater through its front.
C
See the "
OMBUSTION
this manual. Blocking or altering air flow into and away from the heater
could cause improper combustion and the production of carbon monoxide
gas that could accumulate to hazardous concentrations. To prevent a
disruption of the air flow through the heater, keep the heater clean as
described by the "
