Connect the electrical cord to an approved electrical
outlet.
A selector switch located on the back of the heater
allows heater operation in either HEAT or VENT (no
heat) modes. See Fig. 15.
A.
Heat Mode Operation
a. Open all manual fuel supply valves. Check for gas
leaks using an approved leak detector. The gas
control valve in the heater has a manual shut-off
feature incorporated into the valve assembly.
Ensure the indicator on the valve is positioned to
ON. See Fig. 14.

b. Push the selector switch to HEAT.
c. Set the thermostat above room temperature
-- The fan motor will start
-- Igniter will spark
-- Ignition occurs
d. The thermostat cycles the heater on and off based
on set point.
(It is normal for air to be trapped in the gas hose on
new installations. The heater may attempt more than
one trial for ignition before air is finally purged from
line and ignition takes place.)
FIG. 15
When the switch is set to HEAT, four status lights
(See Fig. 15) will be activated in sequence as
specific circuits within the heater are checked by the
ignition control. If the heater does not light and a
status light is off, refer to the troubleshooting label
on the inside of the heater’s burner end access door
or the troubleshooting section in this manual.
B. Vent Mode Operation
-- Push the selector switch to OFF, then to VENT.
-- Only the fan motor will operate. The igniter will
not spark, nor will ignition occur.
The VENT feature is used when air circulation is
required. The heater will not cycle on its thermostat
setting. To discontinue ventilation, position the
switch to OFF or HEAT.
C. Off
Position the switch to midpoint.
