OPERATING HEATER
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ
BEFORE LIGHTING
WARNING: If you do not fol-
low these instructions exactly,
a fire or explosion may result
causing property damage, per-
sonal injury or loss of life.
A. This appliance has a pilot which must be
lighted by hand. When lighting the pilot,
follow these instructions exactly.
B. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the
appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next
to the floor because some gas is heavier than
air and will settle on the floor.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electric switch; do not
use any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from
a neighborʼs phone. Follow the gas
supplierʼs instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier,
call the fire department.
C. Use only your hand to push in or turn the
gas control knob. Never use tools. If the
knob will not push in or turn by hand,
donʼt try to repair it, call a qualified service
technician. Force or attempted repair may
result in a fire or explosion.
D. Do not use this appliance if any part has
been under water. Immediately call a
qualified service technician to inspect the
appliance and to replace any part of the
control system and any gas control which
has been under water.

CONNECTING TO ELECTRICAL
SUPPLY
WARNING: Fan accessory
must be grounded. Fan comes
with a three-prong, grounding
plug as shown in Figure 20. The
plug is your protection against
electrical shock. Plug it into a
standard, three-hole, grounded,
outlet. If cord needs replacing,
use only a cord with a three-
prong, grounding plug.
CAUTION: Label all wires
prior to disconnection when
servicing controls. Wiring errors
can cause improper and danger-
ous operation (see page 22).

EXTENSION CORD
Use extension cord if needed. The cord must have
a three-prong, grounding plug and a three-hole re-
ceptacle. Make sure cord is in good shape. It must
be heavy enough to carry the current needed. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage.
This will result in loss of power and overheating.
Use a No. 16 AWG cord for lengths less than 50
feet (15.24 m) .
CAUTION: Verify proper op-
eration after servicing.
Operating Fan
The blower is connected to a thermostat. When unit
heats up, the fan will operate. A few minutes after
unit cycles off or is turned off, the fan will shut
off. The fan will cycle on and off in this manner.
Note: If you have a heater with a thermostat, the
heater and fan will not turn off and on at exactly
the same time. Fan cycle times will vary with the
heat setting selected.
