General Information
SAFETY: Accidents are always tragic especially because so
many of them could have been prevented with a little care and
attention. These are some basic good practices we hope you
will follow for safe use of your gas fired room heater.
IMPORTANT: Read this user's manual carefully and
completely before trying to assemble, operate or service
this heater. Improper use of this heater can cause serious
injury or death from burns, fire, explosion, electrical shock
(fan models) or carbon monoxide poisoning.
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu
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 affected by
carbon monoxide than others. These include pregnant
women, people with heart or lung disease or anemia, those
under the influence of alcohol or those at high altitude.
Begin by ensuring proper installation and servicing. Ensure
that your qualified technician who installs this heater follows
the installation instructions provided with this product. Have
the installer show you where the gas supply shut off valve is
located so that you know where to shut off the gas to the
heater. If the connections are not perfectly sealed or
tightened, you may have a leak and therefore a faint gas
smell. Finding a leak is NOT a do-it-yourself procedure.
Some leaks can only be found with the main burner gas on
and this must be done by a qualified technician.
