Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
Connect the heater to a propane tank. Press and hold the start button to ignite the pilot light. Continue holding for 30 seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up, then release. Once the pilot stays lit, adjust to your desired heat setting.
The ODS is a safety feature that senses the oxygen level around the heater. If the oxygen percentage falls below a factory preset level, it automatically shuts down the heater to prevent unsafe conditions.
Your heater may shut off automatically due to the tip-over switch being activated if tilted past 45 degrees, or the Oxygen Depletion System (ODS) detecting low oxygen levels in the room.
