other combustible materials when the heater is
mounted outside.
18. Eventually, like all electrical/mechanical devices,
the thermostat can fail. Thermostat failure may
result in an underheating condition. The thermo-
stat should be tested to make sure it turns the
heater on and off within a temperature differential
of ±3°F (±1.5 °C).
19. Take time to understand how to operate and
maintain the heater by using this Owner's
Manual. Make sure you know how to shut off
the gas supply to the building and also to the
individual heater. Contact your fuel gas supplier if
you have any questions.

service or maintenance procedures must be
eliminated and defective parts replaced imme-
diately. The heater must be retested by properly
qualifi ed service personnel before placing the
heater back into use.

Propane Gas Supply Sizing
The vaporization of propane is affected by several
factors: the surface area of the container, the liquid
level of propane, temperature surrounding the
container, and the relative humidity. All of these
factors are specifi c to a site. Therefore, a degree of
experience and judgement is required to select the
proper propane supply.
Although experience is the best guide, the follow-
ing recommendations can be used as a starting
point. The table is based on experience in northern
climates where cold weather and high humidity are
prevalent in the winter. If more or less favorable
conditions prevail at a specifi c site, adjustments can
be made on the basis of experience.
