local codes.This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indicated on the rating plate. This appliance is not
convertible for use with any other gas.
*Aftermarket completion of sale, not for the purpose of resale, from the manufacturer.
4. Keepallair openings in heaterclear,freeof debris or
any blockage. This will insure that enough air for
proper combustion enters the heater.
5. If heater shuts off, do not relight until you provide
fresh, outside air. If heater keeps shutting off, it
requires servicing.
6. Turn off and unplug heater and let cool before
servicing. Only a qualified service person should
service and repair heater.
7. Do not run heater:
•Where flammable liquids or vapors are used or
stored
•During dusty conditions.
8. Before using furniture polish, wax, carpet cleaner or
similar products, turn heater off. If heated the vapors
from these products may create a white powder
residue within burner box or on adjacent walls or
furniture.
9. Do not use heater if any part has been underwater.
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
beenunderwater.
10.Operating heater above elevations of 4,500 feet
could cause pilot/ODS to shutdown heater.
11.Always run heater with control knob in a locked
position. Never set control knob between locked
positions. Poor combustion and higher levels of
carbon monoxide may result if control knob is left
between locked positions.
DANGER: Carbon monoxide poisoning may lead to

people are more affected by carbon monoxide than
others. These include pregnant women, persons with
heart or lung disease or anemia, those under the
influence of alcohol, and those at high altitudes.
Propane/LP Gas:
Propoane/LP gas is odorless. An odor making agent is
added to propane/LPgas. The odor helps you detect a
Propane/LPgas leak. However the odor added to
propane/LPgas may be present even though no odor
exists. Make certain you read and understand all
warnings. Keep this manual for reference. It is your
guide to safe and proper operation of this heater.

FRESH AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND
VENTILATION
WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in a
confined space or unusually tight construction
unless provisions are provided for adequate com-
bustion and ventilation air. Read the following
instructions to insure proper fresh air for this and
other fuel-burning appliances in your home.
ESTABLISHINGADEQUATE VENTILATION
The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas
Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3, Air for
Combustion and Ventilation. All spaces in homes fall
into one of the three following ventilation classifications:
1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconfined Space
3. Confined Space
This heater must not be installed in a confined space or
unusually tight construction unless provisions are
provided for adequate combustion and ventilation air.
The information on pages 3 through 5 will help you
classify your space and provide adequate ventilation.
Unusually Tight Construction
If your home meets all of the three following criteria you
must provide additional fresh air. See Ventilation Air
from Outdoors, page 5.
Unusually tight construction is defined as construction
where:
a. Walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmo-
sphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a
rating of one perm (6 x 10-11 kg per pa-sec-m2) or less
with openings gasketed or sealed and
b. Whether stripping has been added on openable
windows and doors, and
c. Caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as
joints around windows and door frames, between
wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetra-
tions for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines, and at
other openings.
If you home does not meet all of the three criteria
above, see Determing the Type of Heater Location
Space, page 4.
Confined Space and Unconfined Space
The National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ ANSI Z223.1
defines a confined space as a space whose volume is
less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3
per 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 (4.8 m3per kW) of the aggregate
input rating of all appliances installed in that space.
Rooms communicating directly with the space in which
theappliancesare installed*, through openings not
furnishedwithdoors, are considered a part oftheuncon-
finedspace.
*Adjoiningroomsare communication only if thereare
doorlesspassagewaysorventilationgrillsbetween
them.
DETERMINING THE TYPE OF HEATER
LOCATION SPACE:
Use this method to determine if you have a confined or
unconfined space.
Note: the space includes the room in which you
install heater plus any adjoining rooms with doorless
passageways or ventilation grills between the
rooms.
1. Find the volume of the space by multiplying room
length x width x height.
Example: Space size 18ft (length) x 18ft. (width) x 8ft.
(height) = 2592
Ifadditionalventilationto adjoining room is supplied with
grills or openings, add the volume of these rooms to the
total volume of the space.
2. Divide the space volume by 50 cubic feet to deter-
mine the maximum Btu/hr the space can support.
Example: 2592 cu.ft. (volume of space) / 50 cu.ft. = 51.8
or 51,800 (maximum Btu/hr the space can
support)
WARNING: If the area in whichthe heater may be
operatedissmallerthandefined as an unconfined
space or if the building is of unusually tight construc-
tion,provideadequate combustion and ventilation air
by the methods described in the National Fuel Gas
Code, NFPA54/ ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3 or
applicablelocal codes.
3. Addthe Btu/hr of allthe fuel-burning appliancesin the
spacesuch as,Vent–freeheater, Gas water heater,
Gasfurnace, Ventedgas heater, Gas fireplacelogs,
andOthergasappliances*
*Do not include direct-vent gas appliances. Direct-
vent draws combustion air from the outdoors and
vents to the outdoors.
Example:
Gas water heater 40,000 Btu/hr
Vent Free Heater + 20,000 Btu/hr
Total =60,000 Btu/hr
4. Compare the maximum Btu/hr the space can support
with the actual amount of Btu/hr used.
Example: 51,800 Btu/hr (maximum Btu/hr the
space can support)
60,000Btu/hr (Actual amount ofBtu/hr
used)
Thespace in the aboveexample is a confinedspace
because the actual Btu/hr used is more than the
maximum Btu/hr the space can support.
You must provide additional fresh air. Your options
are as follows:
A. Reworkworksheet, andthe spaceofan adjoining
room. Iftheextra space provides an unconfined
space,removedoortoadjoiningroomoraddventila-
tion grills between the rooms. See VentilationAir
FromInsideBuilding (Fig. 2)
B.Vent room directly to the outdoors. See VentilationAir
FromOutdoors(Fig. 3).
C. Install a lower Btu/hr heater if lower Btu/hr size makes
roomunconfined.
If actual Btu/hr used is less than the maximum Btu/
hr the space can support, the space is an uncon-
fined space. You will need no additional fresh air
ventilation.

within 12” of the ceiling and one within 12” of the floor on
the wall connecting the two spaces (see options 1 & 2 of
fig.2). You can also remove door into adjoining room
(seeoption3, fig 2). Follow theNational Fuel Gas Code

Ventilation from Outdoors
Ifnecessaryprovideextrafresh air by using ventilation
grills or ducts. Connect these items directly to the
outdoors or spaces open to the outdoors. These
include attics* and crawl spaces. Follow the National
Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3, Air
for Combustion and Ventilation for required size of
ventilation grills or ducts.
*IMPORTANT: Do not provide openings for inlet or
outlet into attic. If attic has a thermostat-controlled
power vent, heated air entering the attic will activate
the power vent.
IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters add moisture to the
air. Although this is beneficial, installing heater in
rooms without enough ventilation air may cause
mildew to form from too much moisture. See Fresh
Air for Combustion and Ventilation, pages 3 through
5.
INSTALLATION
NOTICE: This heater is intended for the use as supple-
mental heat. Use this heater along with your primary
heating system. Do not install this heater as your
primary heat source. If you have a central heating
system, you may run system’s circulating blower while

WARNING:This appliance requires a 3/8” NPT
(NationalPipeThread)inlet connection to the
pressureregulator. Useoffloormounting feet will
require you to use a 3/8 NPT street elbow to make
gas connection.
CAUTION: Neverconnectheaterdirectly to the Propane
supply. This heater requires an external regulator (not
supplied).Installtheexternalregulator betweentheheater
and Propane/LPsupply.
The installer must supply an external regulator. The
external regulator will reduce the incoming gas pressure
to between 11 and 14 inches of water. If you do not
reduce incoming gas pressure heater regulator damage
could occur. Install external regulator with the vent
pointing down as shown in Figure 12. Pointing the vent
down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
CAUTION: Use only new black iron or steel pipe.
Internally-tinned copper tubing may be used in certain
areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of larger
enough diameter to allow proper gas volume to heater.
If pipe is too small, undue loss of pressure will occur.
Installation must include an equipment shutoff valve,
union and plugged 1/8” NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within
reach of test gauge hookup. NPT tap must be upstream
from heater (see figure 12).
Figure 12
*ACSA/AGAcertified equipment shutoff valve with 1/8”
NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge
connection. Purchase the CSA/AGA certified equip-
ment shutoff valve from your dealer. See Accessories,
page 17.
IMPORTANT: Install an equipment shutoff valve in an
accessible location. The equipment shutoff valve is for
turning on or shutting off the gas to the appliance.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads. This will
prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess
sealant in pipe could result in clogged heater fuel train.
CAUTION: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to
LP-Gas.
Install sediment trap in supply line as shown in figure 12.
Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for clean-
ing. Asediment trap traps moisture and contaminants.
Thiskeepsthem from goinginto heater. If sediment trap
is not installed or is installed improperly, heater may not
runcorrectly.
IMPORTANT: Hold pressure regulator with wrench
when connecting it to gas piping and/or fittings.
CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS
WARNING: Test all gas piping and connections for
leaks after installing or servicing. Correct all leaks
at once.
WARNING: Never use an open flame to check for a
gas leak.Apply a mixture of liquid soap and water to
all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all
leaks at once.
PRESSURE TESTING GAS SUPPLY PIPING
SYSTEM
Test pressure in Excess of ½ psig (3.5kPa)
1. Disconnect appliance with its appliance main
gas valve (control valve) and equipment shutoff
valve from gas supply piping system. Pres-
sures in excess of ½ psig will damage heater
regulator.
2. Cap off open end of gas pipe where equipment
shutoff valve was connected.
3. Pressurize supply piping system by either using
compressed air or opening main gas valve on
or near gas meter.
4. Check all connections and joints in gas supply
piping system.Apply mixture of liquid soap and
water to gas joints. Bubbles forming show a
leak.
5. Correct all leaks at once.
6. Depressurize and relieve pressure in supply
piping system.
7. Reconnect heater and equipment shutoff valve
to gas supply.
8. Reconnected fittings must be checked for leaks
in next section.
Test Pressure Equal To or Less Than ½ psig (3.5 kPa)
1. Close equipment shutoff valve (see figure 13).
2. Pressurize supply piping system by either using
compressed air or opening propne/LP supply
valve.

THERMOSTAT CONTROL OPERATION
FOR IR20LPT / IR30LPT: The thermostatic control used
simplyturns on and offtheburner.
FOR BF20LPT / BF30LPT: The thermostaticcontrol
used modulates the flame size as the temperature gets
closer to set point, then it turns off the burner upon
reachingtemperature.
Theburnerwill cycle back on when roomtemperature
drops below the set temperature. The control knob can
be set to any heat level between 1 and 5. Selecting the
HI setting will cause the burner to remain on.
Note: The thermostat sensing bulb measures the
temperature of air near the heater cabinet. This
may not always agree with room temperature
(depending on housing construction, insulation
location, room size, open air temperature, etc.).
Frequent use of your heater will let you determine
your own comfort levels.
TheLEDtemperature indicator measures approximate
roomtemperaturearoundtheheater.
Note: TheLEDtemperature indicator DOES NOT
operate with or control the thermostat setting of the
heater.

circulation air passageways of heater clean. Inspect
these areas of heater before use. Have the heater
inspected yearly by a qualified service person. Heater
may need more frequent cleaning due to excess lent
from carpeting, bedding material, pet hair, etc.
Make sure grille guard is in place before running heater.
If screen or grille guard is removed for servicing it must
be replaced prior to operating the heater.
WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air
opening(s)ofthe burner(s) clean may resultin
sootingandpropertydamage.
CLEANING ODS/PILOTAND BURNER
•Use as vacuum cleaner, pressurized air or
small soft bristled brush to clean.
CLEANINGBURNERPILOTAIR HOLE INLET
We recommend that you clean the unit every 2,500
hoursof operation or everythree months. We also
recommendthat you keep theburner tube and pilot
assembly clean and free of dust and dirt. To clean these
partswerecommend using compressed air no greater
than 30 psig.
This can be done by using a vacuum cleaner in the blow
position, using compressed air in a can, please follow
the directions on the can. If you don’t follow directions
on the can you could damage the burner or pilot assem-
bly. In addition, the directions that follow should also be
followed.
1. Shut off the unit, including the pilot. Allow the
unit to cool for at least thirty minutes.
2. Inspectburnerand pilot for dustand dirt.
3. Blow air through the port/slots and holes in the
burner.
A yellow tip on the pilot flame indicates dust and dirt in
the pilot assembly. To clean the pilot assembly find the
small pilot air inlet hole about two inches from where the
pilot flame comes out of the pilot assembly (see figure
25). With the unit off, lightly blow air through the air inlet
hole. You may blow through a drinking straw if com-
pressedairis not available.
