VENT SAFETY SHUTOFF SYSTEM

VENT SAFETY SHUTOFF SYSTEM

This heater must be properly connected to a venting system. This heater is equipped with a vent safety shutoff system.

Warning:

Operation of this heater, when not connected to a prop- erly installed and maintained venting system or tamper- ing with the vent safety shutoff system, can result in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and possible death.

This appliance needs fresh air for safe operation and must be installed so there are provisions for adequate combustion and ventilation air.

This room heater is equipped with a vent safety switch. The vent safety switch will cause gas flow to the pilot to “shut off” due to improper venting or a blocked flue.

If the vent safety switch continues to “shut off” the gas flow to the pilot a qualified service person must be contacted to inspect for improper venting, blockage in the vent pipe or the vent safety switch for being defective.

Attach vent safety switch hole cover plate over hole on the draft diverter from which the L280 vent safety switch was removed.

upward to remove draft diverter from the draft diverter plate. Rotate draft diverter into the horizontal position and slide back into the draft diverter plate. Attach two (2) screws into bottom of the draft diverter.

THERMOSTAT OPERATION

Thermostat Operation

To turn on burner, rotate dial knob toward setting number 7. To shut down burner, rotate dial knob toward number 1.

The dial numbers 1 through 7 correspond to 50° (10° C) through 90° F (32° C). This is the temperature at the bulb thermostat not the room temperature. The owner is advised to determine the particu- lar heat setting that is desired for comfort, as heating requirements are different for every owner.

Attention: If no heat is desired, turn the gas control knob to the PILOT position.
