Owner’s Manual • Premier 80-170
Premier Ductable Heaters
Fuel Gas Odor Odor Fading - No
Propane gas and natural gas have man-made odorants added specifi cally for detection of fuel gas leaks.
If a gas leak occurs, you should be able to smell
the fuel gas . THAT’S YOUR SIGNAL TO GO INTO
IMMEDIATE ACTION!
■ Do not take any action that could ignite the fuel
gas. Do not operate any electrical switches. Do not
pull any power supply or extension cords. Do not
light matches or any other source of fl ame. Do not
use your telephone.
■ Get everyone out of the building and away from the
area immediately.
■ Close all fuel supply valves.
■ Propane gas is heavier than air and may settle in
low areas. When you have reason to suspect a
propane leak, keep out of all low areas.
■ Use your neighbor’s phone and call your fuel gassupplier and your fi re department. Do not re-enter
the building or area.
Odor Detected
■ Some people cannot smell well. Some people
cannot smell the odor of the man-made chemical added to propane or natural gas. You must
determine if you can smell the odorant in these
fuel gases.
■ Learn to recognize the odor of propane gas and
natural gas. Local propane gas dealers and your
local natural gas supplier (utility) will be more than
happy to give you a “scratch and sniff” pamphlet.
Use it to become familiar with the fuel gas odor.
■ Smoking can decrease your ability to smell. Being
around an odor for a period of time can affect your
sensitivity to that particular odor.
■ The odorant in propane gas and natural gas is colorless and the intensity of its odor can fade under
some circumstances.
■ If there is an underground leak, the movement of
gas through the soil can fi lter the odorant.
7
■ Stay out of the building and away from the area
until declared safe by the fi refi ghters and your fuel
gas supplier.
■ FINALLY, let the fuel gas service person and the
fi refi ghters check for escaped gas. Have them
air out the building and area before you return.
Properly trained service people must repair the
leak, check for further leakages, and then relight
the heater for you.
Owner’s Manual • Premier 80-170
■ Propane gas odor may differ in intensity at different
levels. Since propane gas is heavier than air, there
may be more odor at lower levels.
■ Always be sensitive to the slightest gas odor. If you
continue to detect any gas odor, no matter how
small, treat it as a serious leak. Immediately go into
action as discussed previously.
8
Premier Ductable Heaters
Attention - Critical
Points to Remember!
■ Propane gas and natural gas have a distinctive
odor. Learn to recognize these odors. (Reference
“Fuel Gas Odor” and “Odor Fading” sections
above.
■ If you have not been properly trained in repair and
service of propane gas and natural gas fueled
heaters, then do not attempt to light the heater,
perform service or repairs, or make any adjustments to the heater on a propane gas or natural
gas fuel system.
■ Even if you are not properly trained in the service
and repair of radiant heaters, ALWAYS be consciously aware of the odors of propane gas and
natural gas.
■ A periodic “sniff test” around the heater or at the
heater’s joints; i.e. hose, connections, etc., is a
good safety practice under any conditions. If you
smell even a small amount of gas, CONTACT
YOUR FUEL GAS SUPPLIER IMMEDIATELY. DO

gas vapor withdrawal only. Do not use the
heater in an propane gas liquid withdrawal
system or application. If you are in doubt,
contact the L.B. White Co., Inc.
14. The heater must be installed so as not to
interfere with or obstruct normal exits, emergency exits, doors and walkways.
15. Railing, fencing or suitable substitute
materials must be used to keep the heating
equipment from any people using and visiting
the structure.
16. The unit shall be located so that rain, ice,
or snow drainage from the structure does
not affect equipment operation. If the unit is
mounted outside, it must be mounted above
any pooled or standing water. If the unit is
to be located on the ground, a surrounding
trench is recommended to drain any rain, ice
or snow away from the unit.
-- If necessary, replace the parts or components
involved if the leak cannot be stopped.

17. The ground and surrounding terrain must be
cleared of any combustible vegetation and

other combustible materials when the heater is
mounted outside.
18. Eventually, like all electrical/mechanical devices,
the thermostat can fail. Thermostat failure may
result in an underheating condition. The thermostat should be tested to make sure it turns the
heater on and off within a temperature differential
of ±3°F (±1.5 °C).
19. Take time to understand how to operate and
maintain the heater by using this Owner’s
Manual. Make sure you know how to shut off
the gas supply to the building and also to the
individual heater. Contact your fuel gas supplier if
you have any questions.
20. Any defects found in performing any of the
service or maintenance procedures must be
eliminated and defective parts replaced immediately. The heater must be retested by properly
qualifi ed service personnel before placing the
heater back into use.
Propane Gas Supply Sizing
The vaporization of propane is affected by several
factors: the surface area of the container, the liquid
level of propane, temperature surrounding the
container, and the relative humidity. All of these
factors are specifi c to a site. Therefore, a degree of
experience and judgement is required to select the
proper propane supply.
Although experience is the best guide, the following recommendations can be used as a starting
point. The table is based on experience in northern
climates where cold weather and high humidity are
prevalent in the winter. If more or less favorable
conditions prevail at a specifi c site, adjustments can
be made on the basis of experience.
Recommended Propane Gas Supply - Cylinders Required Per Heater
Average Temp º F/ºC 50/10 40/4.4 30/-1.1 20/-6.7 10-12.2 0/-17.8 -10/-23
