5. User Instructions
Before turning on gas, check main supply valve to be sure it is open (Fig. 3). Be sure to check all
connections for leaks with a Gas Leak Testing solution, (soap and water work well). Check to see if gas
valve knob is in the ON position. If not, turn counter-clockwise until knob “clicks” into the ON position.
(This may not apply to all units). Turn on gas by turning ball valve handle into vertical position.
5.1 Connecting Electrical Power
Make sure a circuit breaker or similar cutoff device is provided to permit disconnection of
electrical power to heater for service and cleaning. This heater is designed to be wired directly,
with no plugs and outlets necessary. All electrical work should be performed by a certified electrician.
The wiring diagrams on pages 7-8 show how to wire a line power supply directly to the heater’s
terminal block. If no adjustments are made, the heater will operate every time power is supplied and
the on/off switch is activated. If an external thermostat is to be used (See Component & Wiring
Diagram), the heater will operate only when power is supplied, the on/off switch is activated, and the
thermostat indicates a call for heat.
5.2 Starting Up
Adjust thermostat higher than house
temperature. Allow 20 seconds for heater to
ignite. On initial start up or when heater has
not been in service for some time, heater
may require more than one attempt to purge
air and ignite heater. (IF HEATER FAILS TO
IGNITE. REFER TO TROUBLE SHOOTING
GUIDE). Adjust thermostat to desired house
temperature.
5.3 Shutting OFF Heater
Shut off main gas supply valve, close ball
valve, and disconnect electrical power.
