INTRODUCTION – CONT’D.
For your protection this heater is equipped with an Oxygen Depletion Sensor (ODS) pilot system. Never operate heater if
ODS has been damaged or tampered with as this could expose you to Carbon Monoxide (a colorless, odorless gas) that
could result in injury or death. Early signs of Carbon Monoxide poisoning resemble influenza, with headaches, dizziness,
or nausea. If you develop these symptoms GET FRESH AIR AT ONCE. Turn off heater and call a qualified serviceman to
check heater. Some people are more affected by Carbon Monoxide than others: Including pregnant women, persons with
a heart or lung disease, anemia, those under the influence of alcohol, and those at high altitudes.

OPERATION
Infrared heaters “heat like the sun” with almost instantaneous, safe, clean burning “waves” of infrared heat. Like the sun,
they must “see” the object to be heated. Make sure they are installed away from furniture or any other object which
might block the infrared “waves”. The Cozy thermostatically controlled units offer the additional benefit of automatically
cycling the heating to maintain just the right room temperature. Ventfree gas room heaters are designed strictly for
“supplemental” room heat use and should never be installed as “sole source heating”.
