external regulator (not supplied). Install the
external regulator between the heater and
Propane/LP supply.
The installer must supply an external
regulator. The external regulator will reduce
the incoming gas pressure to between 11
and 14 inches of water. If you do not reduce
incoming gas pressure heater regulator
damage could occur. Install external
regulator with the vent pointing down.
Pointing the vent down protects it from
freezing rain or sleet.

**Operating heater above elevations of 4,500 feet could cause pilot/ODS to shutdown heater.**
PRECAUTIONS:
1. 10,000 BTU may be installed in a bedroom, but not
a bathroom, or any place where a strong wind would
shut down the appliance.
2. This heater needs outside ventilation air to run
properly. The Oxygen Depletion Sensor (ODS) safety
shuto system shuts down the heater if not enough
fresh air is available. See Fresh Air for Combustion
and Ventilation, page 5.
3. Keep all air openings in heater clear, free of debris
or any blockage. This will insure that enough air for
proper combustion enters the heater.
4. If heater shuts o, do not relight until you provide
fresh, outside air. If heater keeps shutting o, it
requires servicing.
5. Turn o and let cool before servicing. Only a qualied
service person should service and repair heater.
6. Do not run heater:
• Where ammable liquids or vapors are used or stored
• During dusty conditions.
7. Before using furniture polish, wax, carpet cleaner or
similar products, turn heater o. If heated the vapors
from these products may create a white powder
residue within burner box or on adjacent walls or
furniture.
8. Do not use heater if any part has been underwater.
Immediately call a qualied service technician to
inspect the room heater and to replace any part of
the control system and any gas control which has
been underwater.
9. Operating heater above elevations of 4,500 feet
could cause pilot/ODS to shutdown heater.
10. Always run heater with control knob in a locked
position. Never set control knob between locked
positions. Poor combustion and higher levels of
carbon monoxide may result if control knob is left
between locked positions.
DANGER: Carbon monoxide poisoning may lead to
death.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble
the u, with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If you
have these signs, the heater may not be working
properly. Get fresh air at once! Have heater serviced.
Some people are more aected by carbon monoxide
than others. These include pregnant women, persons
with heart or lung disease or anemia, those under the
inuence of alcohol, and those at high altitudes.
Propane/LP Gas:
Propoane/LP gas is odorless. An odor making agent is
added to propane/LP gas. The odor helps you detect
a Propane/LP gas leak. However the odor added to
propane/LP gas may be present even though no odor
exists. Make certain you read and understand all
warnings. Keep this manual for reference. It is your
guide to safe and proper operation of this heater.

1. Remove heater from carton.
2. Remove all protective packaging applied to
heater for shipment.
3. Check heater for any shipping damage. If
heater is damaged, promptly inform dealer
where you bought heater.
FRESH AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND
VENTILATION
WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in
a conned space or unusually tight construction
unless provisions are provided for adequate
combustion and ventilation air. Read the following
instructions to insure proper fresh air for this and
other fuel-burning appliances in your home.
ESTABLISHING ADEQUATE VENTILATION
The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas
Code, NFPA 54/ ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3, Air for
Combustion and Ventilation. All spaces in homes fall
into one of the three following ventilation classications:
1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconned Space
3. Conned Space
This heater must not be installed in a conned space
or unusually tight construction unless provisions are
provided for adequate combustion and ventilation air.
The information on pages 3 through 5 will help you
classify your space and provide adequate ventilation.
Unusually Tight Construction
If your home meets all of the three following criteria you
must provide additional fresh air. See Ventilation Air
from Outdoors, page 5.
Unusually tight construction is dened as construction
where:
a. Walls and ceilings exposed to the outside
atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder
with a rating of one perm (6 x 10
or less with openings gasketed or sealed and
b. Whether stripping has been added on operable
windows and doors, and
c. Caulking or sealants are applied to areas such
as joints around windows and door frames,
between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at
penetrations for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines,
and at other openings.
If you home does not meet all of the three criteria
above, see Determing the Type of Heater Location
Space, below.
-11
kg per pa-sec-m2)
Conned Space and Unconned Space
The National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ ANSI Z223.1
denes a conned space as a space whose volume is
less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3
per kW) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances
installed in that space, and an unconned space as a
space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per
1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kW) of the aggregate
input rating of all appliances installed in that space.
Rooms communicating directly with the space in which
the appliances are installed*, through openings not
furnished with doors, are considered a part of the
unconned space.
*Adjoining rooms are communication only if there
are odorless passageways or ventilation grills
between them.
DETERMINING THE TYPE OF HEATER
LOCATION SPACE:
Use this method to determine if you have a conned or
unconned space.
Note: the space includes the room in which
you install heater plus any adjoining rooms with
doorless passageways or ventilation grills between
the rooms.
1. Find the volume of the space by multiplying room
length x width x height.
Example: Space size 18ft (length) x 18ft. (width) x 8ft.
(height) = 2592
If additional ventilation to adjoining room is supplied
with grills or openings, add the volume of these rooms
to the total volume of the space.
2. Divide the space volume by 50 cubic feet to
determine the maximum Btu/hr the space can
support.
Example: 2592 cu.ft. (volume of space) / 50 cu.ft. =
51.8 or 51,800 (maximum Btu/hr the space
can support)
WARNING: If the area in which the heater may be
operated is smaller than dened as an unconned
space or if the building is of unusually tight
construction, provide adequate combustion and
ventilation air by the methods described in the
National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ ANSI Z223.1,
Section 5.3 or applicable local codes.

3. Add the Btu/hr of all the fuel-burning appliances
in the space such as, Vent–free heater, Gas water
heater, Gas furnace, Vented gas heater, Gas
replace logs, and Other gas appliances*
*Do not include direct-vent gas appliances. Directvent draws combustion air from the outdoors and
vents to the outdoors.
Example:
Gas water heater 40,000 Btu/hr
Vent Free Heater + 20,000 Btu/hr
Total =60,000 Btu/hr
4. Compare the maximum Btu/hr the space can support
with the actual amount of Btu/hr used.
Example: 51,800 Btu/hr (maximum Btu/hr the
space can support)
60,000 Btu/hr (Actual amount of Btu/hr used)
The space in the above example is a conned
space because the actual Btu/hr used is more than
the maximum Btu/hr the space can support.
You must provide additional fresh air. Your options
are as follows:
A. Rework worksheet, and the space of an adjoining
room. If the extra space provides an unconned
space, remove door to adjoining room or add
ventilation grills between the rooms. See Ventilation
Air From Inside Building (Fig. 2)
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventilation
Air From Outdoors (Fig. 3).
C. Install a lower Btu/hr heater if lower Btu/hr size
makes room unconned.
If actual Btu/hr used is less than the maximum
Btu/hr the space can support, the space is an
unconned space. You will need no additional fresh
air ventilation.
VENTILATION AIR
Ventilation from Inside Building
This fresh air would come from an adjoining unconned
space. When ventilation to an adjoining unconned
space, you must provide two permanent openings: one
within 12” of the ceiling and one within 12” of the oor
on the wall connecting the two spaces (see options
1 & 2 of gure 2). You can also remove door into
adjoining room (see option3, g 2). Follow the National
Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3,
Air for Combustion and Ventilation for required size of
ventilation grills or ducts.
WARNING: Rework worksheet, adding the space
of the adjoining unconned space. The combined
space must have enough fresh air to supply all
appliance in both spaces.
Ventilation from Outdoors
If necessary provide extra fresh air by using ventilation
grills or ducts. Connect these items directly to the

outdoors or spaces open to the outdoors. These
include attics* and crawl spaces. Follow the National
Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3,
Air for Combustion and Ventilation for required size of
ventilation grills or ducts.
*IMPORTANT: Do not provide openings for inlet or
outlet into attic. If attic has a thermostat-controlled
power vent, heated air entering the attic will activate
the power vent.
IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters add moisture to
the air. Although this is benecial, installing heater
in rooms without enough ventilation air may cause
mildew to form from too much moisture. See Fresh
Air for Combustion and Ventilation, pages 3
through 5.
INSTALLATION
NOTICE: This heater is intended for the use as
supplemental heat. Use this heater along with your
primary heating system. Do not install this heater as
your primary heat source. If you have a central heating
system, you may run system’s circulating blower while
