5. This heater needs fresh, outside air ventilation to run properly.
This heater has an Oxygen Depletion Sensing (ODS) safety
shutoff system. The ODS shuts down the heater if not enough
fresh air is available. See Air for Combustion and Ventilation,
pages 5 through 7.

ing and Maintenance, page 16.

products, turn heater off. If heated, the vapors from these prod-
ucts may create a white powder residue within burner box or
on adjacent walls or furniture.
9. Do not run heater
• where flammable liquids or vapors are used or stored.
• under dusty conditions.
10. Do not use heater if any part has been under water. Immedi-
ately call a qualified service technician to inspect the room
heater and to replace any part of the control system and any
gas control which has been under water.
11. Turn off and unplug heater and let cool before servicing. Only
a qualified service person should service and repair heater.

tank of less than 100 lb. capacity (propane/LP units only).
