SAFETY INFORMATION FOR USERS OF PROPANE GAS
Propane is a ammable gas which can cause res and explo-
sions. In its natural state, propane is odorless and colorless.
You may not know all the following safety precautions which
can protect both you and your family from an accident. Read
them carefully now, then review them point by point with the
members of your household. Someday when there may not
be a minute to lose, everyone's safety will depend on knowing
exactly what to do. If, after reading the following information,
you feel you still need more information, please contact your
gas supplier.
PROPANE GAS WARNING ODOR
If a gas leak happens, you should be able to smell the gas
because of the odorant put in the Propane Gas. That’s your
signal to go into immediate action!
• Do not operate electric switches, light matches, use your phone.
Do not do anything that could ignite the gas.
• Get everyone out of the building, vehicle, trailer, or area. Do
that IMMEDIATELY.
• Closeallgastankorcylindersupplyvalves.
• Propane Gas is heavier than air and may settle in low areas
such as basements. When you have reason to suspect a gas
leak,keepoutofbasementsandotherlowareas.Stayout
untilreghtersdeclarethemtobesafe.
• Use your neighbor's phone and call a trained Propane Gas
servicepersonandtheredepartment.Eventhoughyoumay
not continue to smell gas, do not turn on the gas again. Do not
re-enter the building, vehicle, trailer, or area.
• Finally, lettheservicemanandreghterscheckforescaped
gas. Have them air out the area before you return. Properly
trainedPropaneGas servicepeopleshouldrepairthe leak,
thencheckandrelightthegasapplianceforyou.
NO ODOR DETECTED - ODOR FADE
Some people cannot smell well. Some people cannot smell the
odorofthechemicalputintothegas.Youmustndoutifyoucan
smelltheodorantinpropane.Smokingcandecreaseyourabilityto
smell. Being around an odor for a time can affect your sensitivity or
abilitytodetectthatodor.Sometimesotherodorsintheareamask
the gas odor. People may not smell the gas odor or their minds are
onsomethingelse.Thinkingaboutsmellingagasodorcanmake
it easier to smell.
The odorant in Propane Gas is colorless, and it can fade under some
circumstances.Forexample,ifthereisanundergroundleak,the
movementofthegasthroughsoilcanltertheodorant.Odorants
inPropaneGasalsoaresubjecttooxidation.Thisfadingcanoccur
ifthereisrustinsidethestoragetankorinirongaspipes.
The odorant in escaped gas can adsorb or absorb onto or into
walls, masonry and other materials and fabrics in a room. That will
takesomeoftheodorantoutofthegas,reducingitsodorintensity.
Propane Gas may stratify in a closed area, and the odor intensity
could vary at different levels. Since it is heavier than air, there may
be more odor at lower levels.Always be sensitive to the slightest gas
odor.Ifyoudetectanyodor,treatitasaseriousleak.Immediately
go into action as instructed earlier.
SOME POINTS TO REMEMBER
• Learn to recognize the odor of Propane Gas.Your local Propane
Gas Dealer can give you a "Scratch and Sniff" pamphlet. Use
ittondoutwhatthepropaneodorsmellslike.Ifyoususpect
thatyourPropaneGashasaweakorabnormalodor,callyour
Propane Gas Dealer.
• Ifyouarenotqualied,donotlightpilotlights,performservice,
ormakeadjustmentstoappliancesonthePropaneGassystem.
Ifyouarequalied,consciouslythinkabouttheodorofPropane
Gas prior to and while lighting pilot lights or performing service
ormakingadjustments.
• Sometimes a basement or a closed-up house has a musty
smell that can cover up the Propane Gas odor. Do not try to
lightpilotlights,performservice,ormakeadjustmentsinan
area where the conditions are such that you may not detect
theodoriftherehasbeenaleakofPropaneGas.
• Odorfade,duetooxidationbyrustoradsorptiononwallsof
newcylindersandtanks,ispossible.Therefore,peopleshould
beparticularlyalertandcarefulwhennewtanksorcylinders
areplacedinservice.Odorfadecanoccurinnewtanks,or
reinstalledoldtanks,iftheyarelledandallowedtosettoo
longbeforerelling.Cylindersandtankswhichhavebeenout
of service for a time may develop internal rust which will cause
odorfade.Ifsuchconditionsaresuspectedtoexist,aperiodic
sniff test of the gas is advisable. If you have any question about
the gas odor, call your Propane Gas Dealer. Aperiodic sniff
test of the Propane Gas is a good safety measure under any
condition.
• If, at any time, you do not smell the Propane Gas odorant and
youthinkyoushould,assumeyouhavealeak.Thentakethe
same immediate action recommended above for the occasion
when you do detect the odorized Propane Gas.
• Ifyouexperienceacomplete"gasout,"(thecontainerisunder
novaporpressure),turnthetankvalveoffimmediately.Ifthe
container valve is left on, the container may draw in some air
throughopeningssuchaspilotlightorices.Ifthisoccurs,some
new internal rusting could occur. If the valve is left open, then
treatthecontainerasanewtank.Alwaysbesureyourcon-
tainer is under vapor pressure by turning it off at the container
beforeitgoescompletelyemptyorhavingitrelledbeforeitis
completely empty.

Pressure Testing of the Gas Supply System
1.Tochecktheinletpressuretothegasvalve,a1/8”(3mm)N.P.T.
plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge connection, must
be placed immediately upstream of the gas supply connection
to the appliance.
2. The appliance and is individual shutoff valve must be discon-
nected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure
testingofthatsystemattestpressuresinexcessof1/2psig
(3.5kPa).
3. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressuresequaltoorlessthan1/2psig(3.5kPa).
Attention! If one of the above procedures results in pressures in
excessof1/2psig(14”w.c.)(3.5kPa)ontheappliancegasvalve,
it will result in a hazardous condition.
Checking Manifold Pressure
Both Propane and Natural Gas valves have a built-in pressure
regulatorinthegasvalve.NaturalGasmodelswillhaveamanifold
pressureofapproximately4.0”w.c.(.996kPa)atthevalveoutletwith
theinletpressuretothevalvefromaminimumof5.0”w.c.(1.24kPa).
PropaneGasmodelswillhaveamanifoldpressureapproximately
10.0”w.c.(2.49kPa)atthevalveoutletwiththeinletpressuretothe
valvefromaminimumof11.0”w.c.(2.739kPa)forthepurposeof
inputadjustmenttoamaximumof13.0”w.c.(3.237kPa).
A 1/8” (3mm) N.P.T. plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge
connection, is located on the outlet side of the gas control.
Thebuilt-inregulator comesonatapproximately1/4thpressure
and full on in 10 seconds.

High Altitudes
For altitudes/elevations above 2,000feet (610m), input ratings should
be reduced at the rate of 4 percent for each 1,000 feet (305m) above
sea level. Canadian High Altitudes for locations having an elevation
above mean sea level between 2,000 feet (610m) and 4,500 feet
(1370m), the manifold pressure is to be decreased from 4.0” w.c.
(.996kPa)to3.2”(.797kPa)w.c.forNaturalGasandfrom10.0”w.c.
(2.49kPa)to8.0”w.c.(1.992kPa)forPropaneGas.
Piezo Pilot Ignitor Instructions
Depressingtheredbuttoncompletelycausesasparktooccurat
the pilot. This is a substitute for a match which requires opening
the pilot hole cover.
To light the pilot, it is important that the electrode be 1/8” (3mm)
from the thermocouple. The spark must occur at the point the
burneramehitsthethermocouple.Theendoftheelectrodewill
be red hot with the pilot on.
On a new installation with air in the gas line, it is suggested that a
match be used. The match will light the pilot faster than the piezo
under this condition.
Attention! The 7/8” (22mm) strain relief bushing is located within
the same yellow envelope as the Installation Instructions and
Owner’s Manual.
Attaching Furnace to Wall
When attaching furnace to the wall remove that portion of baseboard
and molding on the wall which is behind the furnace. Attach furnace
to wall, at the outer casing top, with (2) toggle bolts provided and
tooor,attheoutercasingbottom,with(2)#10x11/2”(38mm)
screws provided.
Attention! The screw holes on the outer casing bottom are off-set
abovetheoorapproximately3/8”(9.5mm).Donotover-tighten
screws and distort the off-set on the outer casing bottom. Distortion
of the outer casing bottom will not allow the lower front panel to be
attached to the furnace.
Gas Supply
Checkalllocalcodesforrequirements,especiallyforthesizeand
typeofgassupplylinerequired.OnNaturalGaslineslessthan15’
(4.5m) long, us (1/2” (13mm) pipe; on longer runs, use 3/4” (19mm)
iron pipe or equal. On Propane Gas lines please consult Propane
Gas supplier.
Installing a New Main Gas Shut-Off
Each appliance should have its own manual gas shut-off.
A manual main gas shut-off should be located in the vicinity of the
unit.Wherenoneexists,orwhereitssizeorlocationisnotadequate,
contact your local authorized installer for installation or relocation.
Compoundsusedonthreadedjointsofgaspipingshallberesistant
totheactionofliqueedpetroleumgases.Thegaslinesmustbe
checkedforleaksbytheinstaller.Thisshouldbedonewithasoap
solutionwatchingforbubblesonallexposedconnections,andif
unexposed,apressuretestshouldbemade.
Never use an exposed ame to check for leaks. Appliance must
be disconnected from piping at inlet of control valve and pipe
capped or plugged for pressure test. Never pressure test with
appliance connected; control valve will sustain damage!
Agasvalveandgroundjointunionshouldbeinstalledinthegas
line upstream of the gas control to aid in servicing. It is required by
theNationalFuelGasCodethatadriplinebeinstallednearthegas
inlet. This should consist of a vertical length of pipe tee connected
into the gas line that is capped on the bottom in which condensation
and foreign particles may collect.

Wiring
The appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes with
the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA70 or Canadian Electrical
Code CSA C22.1,ifanexternalelectricalsourceisutilized.This
appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for
your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged
directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do
not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug. For an
ungrounded receptacle, an adapter, which has two prongs and a
wire for grounding, can be purchased, plugged into the unground-
ed receptacle and its wire connected to the receptacle mounting
screw. With this wire completing the ground, the appliance cord
plug can be plugged into the adapter and be electrically grounded.
A7/8”(22mm)holeisprovidedinthejunctionboxforusewitha
conduit connector if local codes require this type of protection.
Installing the ON/OFF Device
ToinstallanON/OFFdevice(suchasawallswitch,remote,toggle
switch, or thermostat), remove the wire nut from the two wires
fromthevalve.RunadditionalwirefromthevalvewirestotheON/
OFFdevice.InstalltheON/OFFdeviceinthesameroomasthe
furnace following the installation instructions supplied with it. In
theabsenceofinstructions,installtheON/OFFdevice4to5feet

source(i.e.stoveorwaterheater)orthetemperatureofanadjoin-
ing room.
To Conserve Gas: Turn off pilot when heater is not in use.
Insulated Vent Enclosure
Ventedwallfurnacesinstalledinbuildingswithatroofscanhave
poor venting. The cold vent pipe will have a delay in proper vent-
ing and cause the wall furnace to shut “OFF” by the vent safety
switch.Topreventdelayedventingaswellascondensationofue
products an insulated vent enclosure is recommended.
Use type B vent pipe and maintain at least one inch (25mm)
clearance to combustibles.
Use metal thimble to protect vent pipe as it passes through
combustibles.

AVERTISSEMENT
DANGER D’EMPOISONNEMENT AU MONOXYDE DE CAR-
BONE
Le fait de ne pas suivre les étapes décrites ci-dessous pour chaque
appareil raccordé au système d’évacuation mis en service pour-
rait entraîner un empoisonnement au monoxyde de carbone ou
la mort. Les étapes suivantes doivent être suivies pour chaque ap-
pareil raccordé au système de ventilation mis en service, alors que
tous les autres appareils raccordés au système de ventilation ne
fonctionnent pas:
1. Sceller toutes les ouvertures inutilisées dans le système
d’évacuation.
2. Inspectez le système de ventilation pour la taille et le pas hori-
zontal appropriés, tel que requis dans le Code national du gaz
combustible, ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA 54 ou le Code d’installation
du Gaz Naturel et du propane, CSA B149.1 et ces instructions.

INFORMATION DE SÉCURITÉ POUR LES UTILISATEURS DE PROPANE
Le propane est un gaz inammable qui peut causer des feux et des
explosions. Dans son état naturel, le propane est inodore et sans
couleur. Peut-être que vous ne connaissez pas toutes les précautions
décritesci-dessous?Elles peuventvousprotégerainsiquevotrefamille
contre un accident. Lisez-les attentivement dès maintenant, puis
réexaminez les, point par point avec les membres de votre famille.
Un jour, lorsqu’il n’y aura pas une minute à perdre, la sécurité de
chacun dépendra de votre savoir-faire. Si après avoir lu les informa-
tionssuivantes, vouspensez avoirbesoinde plusamplesinformations,
s’il vous plaît contactez votre fournisseur de gaz.
AVERTISSEMENT À PROPOS DE L’ODEUR DU PROPANE
Si une fuite de gaz survient, vous devriez sentir le gaz parce qu’il y a une odeur incorporée au propane.
C’est le signal que vous devez agir immédiatement.
• N’utiliser pas les interrupteurs électriques, n’allumer pas des allumettes
ou n’utiliser pas le téléphone. Ne rien faire qui pourrait enammer
le gaz.
• Evacuer tout le monde du bâtiment, des véhicules et des lieux. Faire
ceci immédiatement.
• Fermer toutes les soupapes d’approvisionnement des réservoirs et
des bouteilles de gaz.
• Le propane est plus pesant que l’air et peut s’accumuler dans des
endroits bas comme les soubassements. Lorsque vous avez des raisons
de suspecter une fuite de gaz, n’allez pas dans les soubassements ou
les endroits bas. Attendez que les pompiers vous assurent de la sûreté
de ces endroits avant d’y aller.
• Utiliser le téléphone de votre voisin et appeler les pompiers et une
personne entraînée avec le propane.
• Ne pas ouvrir les soupapes d’approvisionnement de gaz même si vous
ne le sentez plus. Ne retourner pas dans le bâtiment, sur les véhicules
ou sur les lieux.
• Finalement, laisser la personne qualiée et les pompiers vérier les
fuites de gaz. Laisser-les aérer les lieux avant d’y retourner. Les
personnes entraînées avec le propane devront réparer la fuite, vérier
et réallumer l’appareil au gaz, pour vous.
AUCUNE ODEUR DÉCELÉE - FAIBLE ODEUR
Il y a des personnes qui ne peuvent pas sentir très bien. Il y a des
personnes qui ne peuvent pas sentir l’odeur chimique mis dans le
gaz. Vous devez vérier si vous pouvez sentir cette odeur. Fumer peut
décroître votre capacité de sentir. Sentir une odeur pour un certain temps,
peut affecter votre sensibilité ou votre capacité de déceler cette odeur.
Quelquefois d’autres odeurs, dans le même endroit, peuvent masquer
l’odeur du gaz. Il y a des personnes qui ne peuvent pas sentir l’odeur du
gaz ou que leur attention est sur quelque chose d’autre. Penser à sentir
l’odeur du gaz peut faciliter la capacité de sentir.
L’odeur dans le propane est sans couleur et peut s’affaiblir selon
certaines circonstances. Par exemple, s’il y a une fuite souterraine, le
mouvement du gaz à travers le sol peut ltrer l’odeur. Aussi, l’odeur
dans le propane peut être exposée à l’oxydation. Cet affaiblissement
peut survenir s’il y a de la rouille à l’intérieur des réservoirs ou dans les
tuyaux de fer pour le gaz.
L’odeur de la fuite de gaz peut être adsorbée ou absorbée sur ou dans
les murs, maçonnerie et d’autres matériaux et tissus dans une chambre.
Ceci enlèvera une quantité de l’odeur du gaz, affaiblissant l’intensité
de la senteur.
Le propane peut stratier dans un endroit fermé et l’intensité de l’odeur
peut varier à différents niveaux. Puisque le propane est plus pesant que
l’air, l’odeur peut être plus prononcée à un bas niveau. Toujours être
sensible à la moindre odeur de gaz. Si vous décelez une odeur, réagissez
comme si vous aviez une sérieuse fuite. Passez à l’action immédiatement
en suivant les informations précédentes.
QUELQUES POINTS À RETENIR
• Apprendre à reconnaître l’odeur du propane. Votre distributeur de
propane peut vous donner un échantillon que vous grattez et sentez.
Utilisez-lepour savoir reconnaître l’odeur du propane. Si vous pensez
que votre Gaz Propane a une faible ou anormale odeur, appelez votre
distributeur.
• Si vous n’êtes pas qualié, n’allumer pas la veilleuse, n’effectuer pas
l’entretien ou n’ajuster pas les appareils fonctionnant au propane. Si
vous êtes qualié, soyez conscient de l’odeur du propane avant et
pendant que vous allumez la veilleuse, effectuez l’entretien ou faites
les ajustements.
• Quelquefois un soubassement ou une maison fermée a une senteur de
moisi qui peut dissimuler l’odeur de propane. N’essayez pas d’allumer
des veilleuses, d’effectuer l’entretien ou de faire des ajustements dans
des endroits où les conditions sont de telle sorte que vous ne pouvez
pas déceler l’odeur du propane en cas de fuite.
• L’affaiblissement d’odeur, attribuable à l’oxydation par la rouille ou
l’adsortion sur les parois des nouveaux réservoirs et bouteilles, est
possible. Par conséquent, les personnes doivent être particulièrement
prudentes lorsque de nouveaux réservoirs ou bouteilles sont mis en
service. L’affaiblissement d’odeur peut se produire dans les nouveaux
réservoirs ou dans les vieux réservoirs qui sont réinstallés, s’ils sont
remplis et inutilisés pour une longue période de temps. La formation
de rouille à l’intérieur des bouteilles et des réservoirs qui ne sont
pas utilisés pour une longue période de temps, peut provoquer un
affaiblissement de l’odeur. Si vous pensez que de telles conditions
existent,untestdesenteurdegazestrecommandépériodiquement.
Si vous avez des questions à propos de l’odeur du gaz, appelez
votre distributeur de propane. En toute circonstance, un test de
senteur périodique du Gaz Propane est une mesure de prudence.
• Si en aucun temps vous ne sentez pas l’odeur du propane et que vous
devriez, assumez que vous avez une fuite. Agissez immédiatement
selon les recommandations ci-dessus, décrivant les actions à suivre
en cas de décèlement de Gaz Propane.
• Si vous découvrez que le réservoir est complètement vide de gaz
(le réservoir n’a aucune pression de vapeur), fermez la soupape du
réservoir immédiatement. Si la soupape du réservoir reste ouverte,
le réservoir peut aspirer de l’air par les ouvertures, par exemple les
orices de la veilleuse. Si ceci survient, l’intérieur peut subir une
additionnelle formation de rouille. Si la soupape est restée ouverte,
considérez le contenant comme étant un nouveau réservoir. Soyez
toujours certain que le réservoir est sous pression de vapeur; fermez
la soupape du réservoir avant qu’il ne soit complètement vide et faites
le remplir.
