Why does my heater produce clicking/ticking noise?

Metal expanding or contracting is a common cause. If the noise is excessive, contact a qualified service person.

How do I get rid of unwanted odors from the heater?

Open a window and ventilate the room. Refill the propane/LP supply tank if necessary. Locate and correct all gas leaks.

What should I do if the heater shuts off and the ODS operates?

Open a window and/or door for ventilation, check for low line pressure, and clean the ODS/pilot.
