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.

This appliance may be installed in an aftermarket, permanently located, manufactured (mobile) home, where not prohibited by local codes. This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indicated on the rating plate. This appliance is not convertible for use with other gases. Any change to this heater or its controls can be dangerous.

SAFE OPERATION OF YOUR LEGACY

VENT FREE HEATER

This heater needs fresh, outside air for combustion to run properly. This heater has an oxygen depletion sensor (ODS) pilot light safety system. The ODS shuts down the heater if not enough fresh air (oxygen content > 18%) is available.

Never run heater in confined space. Refer to page 4.

If heater shuts off, do not relight until you provide fresh, outside air. If heater keeps shutting off, clean it and have it serviced.

Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.

Keep burner and control compartment clean. See maintenance section of this manual.

Do not place clothing or other flammable material on or near the appliance.

Children and adults should be alerted to the hazard of high surface temperatures and should stay away to avoid burns and clothing ignition.

Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room with the appliance. Never allow them to sit, stand or play on or around the heater.

Make sure that if the safety screen or guard is removed for servicing or lighting the appliance, it is replaced prior to operating the heater.

Do not use the heater if any part has been under water. Immediately 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.

The ODS pilot light safety system is designed to prevent asphyxiation due to a lack of oxygen in the air.

The heater does not monitor the air for CO.
