**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 qualied 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 qualied 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 a󰀨ected by carbon monoxide than others. These include pregnant women, persons with heart or lung disease or anemia, those under the inuence 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.

FRESH AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in
a conned 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 classications:
1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconned Space
3. Conned Space
This heater must not be installed in a conned 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 dened 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)
Conned Space and Unconned Space
The National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ ANSI Z223.1
denes a conned 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 unconned 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 unconned 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 conned or unconned 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 dened as an unconned 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 conned 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 unconned 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 unconned.
If actual Btu/hr used is less than the maximum Btu/hr the space can support, the space is an unconned space. You will need no additional fresh air ventilation.
VENTILATION AIR
Ventilation from Inside Building
This fresh air would come from an adjoining unconned space. When ventilation to an adjoining unconned 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 unconned 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 benecial, 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 using heater. This will help circulate the heat throughout the house. In the event of a power outage, you can use this heater as your primary heat source for the duration of the outage.

Note: Use of oor mounting feet will require you to use a 3/8 NPT street elbow to make gas connection.
CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY
WARNING: A qualied service person must connect
heater to gas supply. Follow all local codes.
WARNING: This appliance requires a 3/8” NPT (National Pipe Thread) inlet connection to the pressure regulator. Use of oor mounting feet will require you to use a 3/8 NPT street elbow to make gas connection.
CAUTION: Never connect heater directly to the Propane supply. This heater requires an external regulator.(which is attached to the supplied hose). Install the external regulator between the heater and Propane/LP supply.
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.
CAUTION: Use only new black iron or steel pipe.
Internally-tinned copper tubing may be used in certain areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of larger enough diameter to allow proper gas volume to heater. If pipe is too small, undue loss of pressure will occur.
Installation must include an equipment shuto󰀨 valve, union and plugged 1/8” NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach of test gauge hookup. NPT tap must be upstream from heater (see gure 12).
*A CSA/AGA certied equipment shuto󰀨 valve with 1/8” NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the CSA/AGA certied equipment shuto󰀨 valve from your dealer.
IMPORTANT: Install an equipment shuto󰀨 valve in an accessible location. The equipment shuto󰀨 valve is for turning on or shutting o󰀨 the gas to the appliance.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads. This will prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result in clogged heater fuel train.
CAUTION: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to LP-Gas.
Install sediment trap in supply line as shown in gure
12. Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for cleaning. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into heater. If sediment trap is not installed or is installed improperly, heater may not run correctly.
IMPORTANT: Hold pressure regulator with wrench when connecting it to gas piping and/or ttings.
CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS
WARNING: Test all gas piping and connections for
leaks after installing or servicing. Correct all leaks at once.
