distinctive odor. This odor helps you
detect a natural gas leak. However,
the odor may fade. Natural gas may be
present even though no odor exists.

General Safety Information
(Continued)

or operating heater. Severe burns may
result. You must wait 15 minutes after
turning heater off.

Principals of Operation
FUEL SYSTEM
The pipe runs from the gas supply to
the heater itself. After the gas runs
through the pipe, it passes through
the solenoid valve and out the nozzle
into the combustion chamber.
AIR SYSTEM
The internal motor turns the fan, which
pushes air around and through the
combustion chamber. Here the air is
heated and provides a constant stream
of warmth.
IGNITION SYSTEM
The spark module sends voltage to the
ignitor. The ignitor ignites the fuel and
air mixture.
SAFETY CONTROL SYSTEM
This system shuts the heater down if
the flame is extinguished. The fan and
motor will continue to operate, but
there will not be any heat.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM
A built-in thermostat allows the heater
to turn on and off to maintain a
consistent temperature.
THE NATURAL GAS SUPPLY
The user of this heater must provide
the natural gas supply and all fittings to
properly install the heater.
The natural gas supply should be able
to provide a minimum of 150 cubic feet
of gas per hour for each heater being
used. Consult with your natural gas
supplier for the proper sizing of all gas
lines. You must regulate the natural
gas supply down from a minimum of 5
inches of water column to a maximum
of 1/2 PSI.
Be sure to research and follow all local
ordinances and codes. In the absence of
local codes, follow the National Fuel Gas
Code Handbook NFPA54/ANSI Z223.1
and the Natural Gas Installation Code,
CAN/CSA B149.1.
