• Installation and repair should be done by a QUALIFIED
SERVICE PERSON. The appliance should be inspected
before use and at least annually by a professional service
person. More frequent cleaning may be required due to
excessive lint from carpeting, bedding materials, etc. It is
imperative that control compartments, burners and circu-
lating air passageways of the appliance be kept clean.
• DO NOT use this room 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.
• Due to high surface temperatures, keep children, clothing
and furniture away.
• Anunventedroomheaterhavinganinputratingofmore
than 10,000 Btu per hour shall not be installed in a
bedroom or bathroom.
• Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be

WARNING
When used without adequate combustion and ventilation
air, heater may give off CARBON MONOXIDE, an odor-
less, poisonous gas.
Do not install heater until all necessary provisions are
made for combustion and ventilation air. Consult the
writteninstructionsprovidedwiththeheaterforinfor-
mation concerning combustion and ventilation air. In
the absence of instructions, refer to the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3 or applicable local
codes.

Some people — pregnant women, persons with heart or
lung disease, anemia, those under the influence of alcohol
, those at high altitudes — are more affected by carbon
monoxide than others.
Thepilot light safetysystem senses thedepletion of oxygen
at its location. If this heater is installed in a structure
havinga high verticaldimension,the possibility exists that
the oxygen supply at the higher levels will be less than that
at the heater. In this type of application, a fan to circulate
the structure air will minimize this effect. The use of this
fan will also improve the comfort level in the structure.
When a fan is used to circulate air, it should be located so
that the air flow is not directed at the burner.

whentheremaynotbeaminutetolose,everyone'ssafetywill
depend on knowing exactly what to do. If, after reading the
followinginformation,you feel you still needmoreinforma-
tion, please contact your gas supplier.
Propane (LP-Gas) is a flammable gas which can cause fires
and explosions. In its natural state, propane is odorless and
colorless. Youmaynotknowallthefollowingsafetyprecau-
tions which can protect both you and your family from an

SAFETY INFORMATION FOR USERS OF LP-GAS
LP-GAS WARNING ODOR
If a gas leak happens, you should be able to smell the gas because of the odorant put in the LP-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.
• Geteveryoneoutofthebuilding,vehicle,trailer,orarea. Do
that IMMEDIATELY.
• Close all gas tank or cylinder supply valves.
• LP-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
firefighters declare them to be safe.
• Useyourneighbor'sphoneandcallatrainedLP-Gasservice
person and the fire 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 firefighters check for
escaped gas. Have them air out the area before you return.
Properly trained LP-Gas service people should repair the
leak, then check and relight the gas appliance for you.
Some people cannot smell well. Some people cannot smell
the odor of the chemical stench put into the gas. You must
findoutifyoucansmelltheodorantinpropane. Smokingcan
decrease your ability to smell. Being around an odor for a time
can affect your sensitivity or ability to detect that odor. Some-
times other odors in the area mask the gas odor. People may not
smell the gas odor or their minds are on something else. Think-
ing about smelling a gas odor can make it easier to smell.
The odorant in LP-gas is colorless, and it can fade under
some circumstances. For example, if there is an underground
leak,themovementofthegasthroughsoilcanfiltertheodorant.
Odorants in LP-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.
LP-Gasmaystratifyinaclosedarea,andtheodorintensitycould
varyatdifferentlevels. 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.
NO ODOR DETECTED - ODOR FADE
•LearntorecognizetheodorofLP-gas. Yourlocal LP-Gas
Dealer can give you a "Scratch and Sniff" pamphlet. Use it
to find out what the propane odor smells like. If you suspect
thatyour LP-Gashasa weakorabnormal odor,callyour LP-
Gas Dealer.
• If you are not qualified, do not light pilot lights, perform
service, or make adjustments to appliances on the LP-Gas
system. Ifyouarequalified,consciouslythinkabouttheodor
ofLP-Gaspriorto and while lighting pilot lights or perform-
ing service or making adjustments.
• Sometimes a basement or a closed-up house has a musty
smell that can cover up the LP-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 LP-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 filled and allowed
to set too long before refilling. Cylinders and tanks which
have been out of service for a time may develop internal rust
whichwillcauseodorfade. Ifsuchconditionsaresuspected
to exist, a periodic sniff test of the gas is advisable. If you
have any question about the gas odor, call your LP-gas
dealer. AperiodicsnifftestoftheLP-gasis a good safety
measure under any condition.
• If, at any time, you do not smell the LP-Gas odorant and you
think you should, assume you have a leak. Then take the
sameimmediateactionrecommendedabovefortheoccasion
when you do detect the odorized LP-Gas.
• If you experience a complete "gas out," (the container is
under no vapor pressure), turn the tank valve off immedi-
ately. Ifthecontainervalveislefton,thecontainermaydraw
in some air through openings such as pilot light orifices. 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 container is under vapor pressure by
turningitoffatthecontainerbeforeitgoescompletelyempty
or having it refilled before it is completely empty.

Water Vapor: A By-Product of Unvented Room Heaters
Water vapor is a by-product of gas combustion. An unvented room
heater produces approximately one (1) ounce (30ml) of water for every
1,000 BTU's (.3KW's) of gas input per hour.
Unvented room heaters are recommended as supplemental heat (a room)
ratherthanaprimaryheatsource(anentirehouse). Inmostsupplemental
heat applications, the water vapor does not create a problem. In most
applications, the water vapor enhances the low humidity atmosphere
experienced during cold weather.
The following steps will help insure that water vapor does not become a
problem.
1. Be sure the heater is sized properly for the application, including
ample combustion air and circulation air.
2. If high humidity is experienced, a dehumidifier may be used to help
lower the water vapor content of the air.
3. Do not use an unvented room heater as the primary heat source.
Provisions for Adequate Combustion and Ventilation Air
This heater shall not be installed in a confined space or unusually tight
constructionunless provisionsareprovidedforadequatecombustionand
ventilation air.
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 defines a confined space as a
space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour
(4.8m3per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in
that space and an unconfined space as a space whose volume is not less
than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8m3per kw) of the aggregate
inputratingofallappliancesinstalledinthatspace. Roomscommunicat-
ing directly with the space in which the appliances are installed, through
openingsnotfurnishedwithdoors,areconsideredapartoftheunconfined
space.
The following example is for determining the volume of a typical area in
which the SR-30T may be located and for determining if this area fits the
definition of an unconfined space.
The input of the SR-30T is 30,000 Btu per hour. Based on the 50 cubic
feet per 1,000 Btu per hour formula, the minimum area that is an
unconfined space for installation of the SR-30T is 1,500 cubic feet, 50
cubic feet x 30 = 1,500 cubic feet. To determine the cubic feet of the area
in which the SR-30T is to be installed, measure the length, width and
heightof thearea. Example: The areameasures 16feet inlength, 12feet
inwidthand8feetinheight,theareais1,536cubicfeet. The SR-30T can
be installed in this unconfined space with no requirement to provide
additional combustion and ventilation air.
Warning: If the areain whichthe heater maybe operated is smaller than
thatdefined as anunconfinedspace orifthe building isof unusually tight
construction, provide adequate combustion and ventilation air by one of
the methods described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1,
Section 5.3 or applicable local codes.
Unusually Tight Construction
The air that leaks around doors and windows may provide enough fresh
air for combustion and ventilation. However, in buildings of unusually
tight construction, you must provide additional fresh air.
Unusually tight construction is defined as construction where:
a. Walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere have a
continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of one perm or less
with openings gasketed or sealed, and
b. Weatherstripping has been added on openable windows and
doors, and
c. Caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as joints around
windowanddoorframes,betweensoleplatesandfloors,between
wall-ceilingjoints,betweenwallpanels,atpenetrationsforplumb-
ing, electrical, and gas lines, and at other openings.
If the SR-30T heater is installed in a building of unusually tight
construction, adequate air for combustion, ventilation and dilution of
fluegases shall beprovided inaccordancewith ANSIZ223.1/NFPA54.

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 its appliance main gas valve must be discon-
nectedfromthegassupplypipingsystemduringanypressuretesting
of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
3. Theappliancemustbeisolatedfromthegassupplypiping system
by closing its equipment 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! Ifone ofthe aboveprocedures resultsin pressuresin 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
Natural gas will have a manifold pressure of approximately 6.0" w.c.
(1.49kPa) at the pressure regulator outlet with the inlet pressure to the
pressure regulator from a minimum of 7.0" w.c. (1.743kPa) for the
purpose of input adjustment to a maximum of 10.5" w.c. (2.615kPa).
Propane/LPgas willhaveamanifoldpressureapproximately10.0"w.c.
(2.49kPa) at the pressure regulator outlet with the inlet pressure to the
pressure regulator 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 test gage connection is located downstream of the gas appliance
pressure regulator for measuring gas pressure. The connection is a 1/8
inch (3mm) N.P.T. plugged tapping.
High Altitudes
For altitudes/elevations above 2,000 feet (610m) ratings should be
reduced at the rate of 4 percent for each 1,000 feet (305m) above sea
level. Contact the manufacturer or your gas company before changing
spud/orifice size.
Piezo Pilot Ignitor Instructions
Depressing the ignitor button completely causes a spark to occur at the
pilot.
To light the pilot, it is important that the electrode be 1/8" (3mm) from
the pilot. The spark must occur at the point the pilot flame hits the
thermocouple.
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.

Thermostat Operation
To ignite main burner, turn gas control knob counterclockwise toward
HI setting. To shut down main burner, turn gas control knob clockwise
toward LO setting.
The SR-10T has an input of 10,000 BTUH (2.9KW/H). The hydrau-
lic thermostat bulb is located at the casing assembly bottom. When
thehydraulicthermostatbulbsensestheneedforheat,theunitcycles
“ON” at a full input rate of 10,000 BTUH (2.9KW/H). The unit
remains at this full input rate until the hydraulic thermostat bulb is
“satisfied.” When the hydraulic thermostat bulb is “satisfied” the
burner will shut “OFF” with the pilot flame remaining “ON.”
The SR-18T has an input of 18,000 BTUH (5.3KW/H). The hydrau-
lic thermostat bulb is located at the casing assembly bottom. When
thehydraulicthermostatbulbsensestheneedforheat,theunitcycles
“ON” at a full input rate of 18,000 BTUH (5.3KW/H). The unit
remains at this full input rate until the hydraulic thermostat bulb is
“satisfied.” When the hydraulic thermostat bulb is “satisfied” the
burner will shut “OFF” with the pilot flame remaining “ON.”
Note: The burner does not modulate between “ON” and the pilot
flame. When the SR-18T is “ON,” all three ceramic plaques will
“glow.” There will never be a time when only one or two ceramic
plaques are “glowing.”
The SR-30T has an input of 30,000 BTUH (8.8KW/H). The hydraulic
thermostat bulb is located at the casing assembly bottom. When the
hydraulicthermostat bulb sensesthe needfor heat, theunit cycles "ON"
atafullinputrate of 30,000 BTUH(8.8KW/H). The unitremainsatthis
full input rate until the hydraulic thermostat bulb is "satisfied." When
the hydraulic thermostat bulb is "satisfied" the burner will shut "OFF"
with the pilot flame remaining "ON."
Note: Theburner does notmodulatebetween "ON"andthe pilot flame.
WhentheSR-30T is"ON," all five ceramic plaqueswill"glow." There
will never be a time when only one or three ceramic plaques are
"glowing."
The LO and HI setting has temperature range of approximately 55°F
(12.78°C)to90°F(32.22°C),respectively. Thisisthetemperatureatthe
hydraulic thermostat bulb not the room temperature. The owner is
advised to determine the particular heat setting that is desired for
comfort, as heating requirements are different for every owner.
Attention: If the owner does not want the main burner to ignite and
turns the gas control knob to the LO setting, the main burner will still
ignite if the temperature at the hydraulic thermostat bulb drops to 55°F
(12.78°C).
If no heat is desired, turn the gas control knob to the PILOT position.

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. Donotcutorremovethegroundingprongfromthisplug.
For an ungrounded receptacle, an adapter, which has two prongs and a
wire for grounding, can be purchased, plugged into the ungrounded
receptacleand itswireconnectedtothereceptaclemountingscrew. With
this wire completing the ground, the appliance cord plug can be plugged
into the adapter and be electrically grounded.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing
controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous opera-
tion. Verify proper operation after servicing.
Blower Motor
The blower motor does not have oiling holes. Do not attempt to oil the
blower motor.
Blower Wheel
Theblower wheelwill collect lintand could requireperiodic cleaning. If
