PRECAUTIONS:
1. BF-10 LP and IR-10LP may be installed in a bedroom, but not a bathroom, or any place where a strong wind would shut down the appliance.
2. This heater needs outside ventilation air to run properly. The Oxygen Depletion Sensor (ODS) safety shutoff system shuts down the heater if not enough fresh air is available. See Fresh Air for Combustion
and Ventilation, page 3.
3. Keep all air openings in heater clear, free of debris or any blockage. This will insure that enough air for proper combustion enters the heater.
4. If heater shuts off, do not relight until you provide fresh, outside air. If heater keeps shutting off, it requires servicing.
5. Turn off and let cool before servicing. Only a qualified service person should service and repair heater.
6. Do not run heater:
• Where flammable liquids or vapors are used or stored
• During dusty conditions.
7. 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.
8. 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 been underwater.
9. Operating heater above elevations of 4,500 feet could cause pilot/ODS to shutdown heater.
10.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.
Unvented Liquid Propane Fired Room Heater
DANGER: Carbon monoxide poisoning may lead to death.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu, with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If you have these signs, the heater may not be working properly.
Get fresh air at once! Have heater serviced. Some 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/LP gas. The odor helps you detect a Propane/LP gas leak. However the odor added to propane/LP gas 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.

CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY
WARNING: A qualified service person must connect heater to gas supply. Follow all local codes.
WARNING: This appliance requires a 3/8” NPT
(National Pipe Thread) inlet connection to the pressure regulator. Use of floor mounting feet will require you to use a 3/8 NPT street elbow to make gas connection.
CAUTION: Never connect heater directly to the
Propane supply. This heater requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator between the heater and Propane/LP supply.
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. 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).
*A CSA/AGA certified equipment shutoff valve with
1/8” NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the CSA/AGA certified equipment shutoff valve from your dealer.
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 cleaning. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into heater. If sediment trap is not installed or is installed improperly, heater may not run correctly.
IMPORTANT: Hold pressure regulator with wrench when connecting it to gas piping and/or fittings.
