VENTILATION
WARNING
THIS APPLIANCE IS UNVENTED AND MUST BE USED ONLY IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA.
The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be obstructed. DO NOT use in a tightly enclosed area. Any combustion process requires and consumes oxygen, and may produce carbon monoxide. This heater must be operated with adequate ventilation. Two openings directly to the outdoors must be provided, one low and one high, preferably on opposite sides of the area to be heated. Each of these openings must provide at least three square inches of combustion air-intake area and exhaust outlet area for every 1000 BTUs per hour of heater input rate in order to complete the combustion/ventilation process. Provide additional ventilation for any additional fuel-burning appliances and/or additional occupants.

GENERAL INFORMATION
A. Your MR. HEATER portable gas-fired infra-red heater comes
fully assembled and is tested at the factory for proper gas and input as stated on the nameplate.
B. Each heater is equipped with a 100% safety shutoff, push
button valve which will automatically stop the flow of gas in the event the heater fails to operate for any reason. A tip over switch and an excess flow check are also standard on the model MH35LPTS.
C. Before proceeding with this installation, be sure to inspect for
damages. The freight company must be notified of any damages and request that an inspection be made. MR. HEATER will send replacements for damaged parts only after receiving a signed inspection report to prove the liability of the freight company.
FOR SAFE OPERATION
A. READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. Read and
adhere to these instructions. DO NOT allow anyone who has not read these instructions to assemble, light, adjust or operate this heater.
B. LP-Gas IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE. In the event of a leak, LP-
Gas will accumulate and the possibility of a fire is present. LP-Gas is scented and its strong odor is readily detectable. Never strike a match, bring any flame or create an electric spark in an enclosure when you smell LP-Gas. Ventilate the area thoroughly, move the heater outside, and correct the source of the leak before attempting to light any appliance.
C. Always operate the heater with the LP-Gas cylinder in an
upright position on a level non-combustible surface. NEVER
PLACE THE CYLINDER ON ITS SIDE WHEN OPERATING THE HEATER.
D. DO NOT attempt to operate the heater with any gas
other than that indicated on the heater nameplate.
The minimum ambient temperature rating for this heater is 20 degrees F.
This heater incorporates a “Tip Over” switch which automatically shuts off the burner in the event of tipping. Ensure that this switch is in the vertical position and is secured with the screws provided (see Fig. 4). DO NOT operate this heater with the
LP-gas supply cylinder in any other than the upright position.
LOCATION
Although this heater incorporates a “tip over” switch, the heater and LP-Gas supply cylinder must be located on a hard, flat, level surface to minimize the risk of accidental tipping. The LP Gas supply cylinder should be adequately restrained to prevent accidental tipping. DO NOT OPERATE this heater with the
supply cylinder in any other than the upright position.
This appliance must be installed only in locations where the potential for physical damage to the appliance (i.e., due to physical contact) is reduced to a minimum.
The installer must inform the owner/operator of this appliance that precautions must be taken to protect the appliance from physical damage.
This appliance produces radiant heat. Therefore, it must be located at least six feet away from any LP-Gas container and must not be directed toward any LP-Gas container within 20 feet.
The heater must be installed in a location such that it will not be exposed directly to water spray, rain, and/or dripping water.
Use of this heater in a draft/windy area may decrease its efficiency. If possible, operate the unit in a draft free area or turn the face of the heater away from the draft.
