RJ,
Thanks for the information, but I am a little confused about something.
Does the starter run on a battery, or the fan, or both? In other words, if
you have an electrical power failure, how do you run the heater without the
fan? If the starter is operated with batteries, wouldn't it be

I just had a major catastrophe here, and I need to know how to clean it up!
I spilled some baking soda, so I got the Oreck to vacuum up the mess.
Little did I know that the vacuum bag had not been replaced, by my loving

to get into the tight spaces. They also will use some canned air that has

Hi David
Here is a brief history of the metric system and you will see that
centimetres is a recognised measurement.
The metric system was devised by the French Chemist Lavoisier in the 18th
Century. This was done so that several different systems of measure which

Lenny,
It's still working, so that's good.
I'll take the vacuum to it later.
And, I had forgotten about the compressed air, so I'll get some of that, too.
