GAS CONNECTION
NOTICE
A qualified gas appliance installer must connect the heater to the gas supply. Consult all local codes.
CAUTION
Use new black iron or steel pipe only. Internally tinned copper tubing can be used in some areas when permitted by local codes. Only use pipe of 1/2" or greater diameter to allow full gas volume to heater. Excessive pressure loss will occur if the pipe is too small.
A manual shutoff valve, union and plugged 1/8" NPT pressure tapping point must be installed upstream of the heater as shown in drawing below.
A sediment trap must be installed upstream of the heater to prevent moisture and contaminants from passing through the pipe to the heater controls and burners. Failure to do so could prevent the heater from operating reliably.
IMPORTANT:
CHECK GAS TYPE:
Loosen the pipe adapter on the flex tube before installing to the system piping.
Manual shutoff valve

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING
WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion
may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
This appliance has a pilot which can be lit with the equipped piezo ignitor. When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.
BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because propane gas is heavier than air and will settle at the lowest level.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
Do not attempt to light any appliance.
Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone in your building.
Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not push in or turn by hand, don't try to repair it, call a qualified service technician. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the
appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
As with all fuel burning appliances, it is important to conduct periodic maintenance functions that will allow for continued safe, efficient operation of the unit. We suggest that before every heating season, or at least once a year, conduct the following minimum service functions.
STEP 1: The gas supply should be turned OFF at the shutoff valve in the supply line leading to the appliance or at the gas source. The gas to the unit should then be disconnected so the unit can be removed from the wall.
STEP 2: Remove the front cover by removing the control knob and the two(2) screws on the top of the front. Then slide the front upwards.
STEP 3: Carefully examine the interior of the vent pipe. If you notice any blockages or obstruction that was not part of the unit when it was installed. Clean the pipes and prepare them for reattachment to the unit. The vent system should be inspected periodically, or at least once a year and cleaned if necessary. If removal of the venting is required, follow the instructions in the “Ventilation Installation” section of this manual for reassembly.
STEP 4: Look inside the openings of the rear of the unit and check for foreign materials. Remove any objects which may block or obstruct the free flow of combustion and ventilation air.
STEP 5: Visually check the pilot and the main burner for signs of excessive dirt or debris through the heat exchanger front glass. If you find any of these, follow the directions below to reach the components to clean, otherwise continue to the next step.
To Remove Pilot: Find the pilot. Loosen the head of thermocouple, disconnect the pilot gas supply line, (only on the side of the pilot, not on the valve side). Remove the two (2) M4 screws that hold the pilot in place. Clean with a vacuum cleaner or use a can of compressed air.
To Remove Burner: Loosen the gas line from the burner (on the right side of the unit). On the left side of the unit, unscrew the nut that holds the burner in place. Then remove the burner. Clean with a vacuum cleaner or use a can of compressed air. Note: You can remove the main burner-pilot assembly if you don’t unscrew the M4 screws that hold the pilot to the burner.
Before reinstalling the assembly, check the ceramic fiber sealing gasket. If it is damaged or worn, replace with a new gasket available from your dealer.
STEP 6: Reassemble the unit back to its original state and mount the unit to the wall. Properly reassemble and reseal the vent-air intake system.
STEP 7: Reconnect the gas supply and check for leaks using a soapy water solution that you apply to all gas connections. Bubbles on any of the joints indicate a leak is present and must be repaired. Turn off the gas when making such repairs. Check to make sure that the piezo ignitor still lights the pilot.
STEP 8: While the main burner is ON, Check the flames to verify that they are burning a clean blue color. (See Fig. 5, 6 & 7 on next page).
Note: After maintenance, the first few minutes of the heater operation will probably have some yellowish flying traces in the flame due to the burning of particles left behind during the cleaning operation.
** Liquid Propane will have some evidence of yellow tips on the flame.
Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing an appliance must be replaced prior to operating the appliance.
Before completing your periodic maintenance check, ensure the heater area is kept clean and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids. Also,check to see that the flow of combustion and ventilation air around the vent cap on the outside of the structure is not obstructed.
