5.Always run heater with plaque control knob at the 1, 2, 3, or 4 locked positions. Never set control knob between locked positions. Poor combustion and higher levels of carbon mon- oxide may result.

6.This heater needs fresh, outside air ventila- tion to run properly. This heater has an Oxy- gen Depletion Sensing (ODS) safety shutoff system. The ODS shuts down the heater if not enough fresh air is available. See Air for Com- bustion and Ventilation, pages 5 through 7.
