Almot,
I bought my 1st Olycat in 1974, and used it 20 years in 2 different RVs. Near the end of that 20 yrs, we could smell something whenever I left it burning while we were out for a few hrs. And I could see the pad was not burning as evenly as it once did, and was much harder to lite,....took a full minute or more to release button. I always left more ventilation during that time. The problem was diagnosed as needing a new pad because of dust contamination. A new pad was expensive so I deep sixed the heater when I sold the RV.
Just stating some of my long experience w/ these heaters.
