Not only should you switch the unit to 110v (for us here i the U.S.) but also the small yellow screw by the green LED light is the adjustment so you can turn it up to 13 or 14 volts to get the correct power (I think they come set at 12.6 volts) It will help your heater work better.

Merry Christmas 🤶!!!
A $20 120V AC to 13V DC step down converter sure is cheaper than a 12V deep cycle battery, 100w solar panel & small charge controller.
But the battery/solar panel/charge controller would be an option to keep it running if a person had no AC power.

Good idea

[@TheCutter123]

Can you get shocked if you touch those connections at the 110v side? They look exposed

There's a clear plastic cover that swings down to protect it

Want backup UPS so it can cooldown during power failure otherwise the heater unit can get damaged.

I've read online that it has happened to others and no serious damage. It fired right back up later and worked fine. However why tempt fate if you have power issues

After watching few more videos appears when it shuts down improper sounds like gets extra bit of soot on the heat exchanger internal surfaces, guess the shutdown cycle besides cooling unit also kind of helps to clean internal surface a bit due to ramp up.
When units run at low fire they typically don't have great control of combustion air(excess air)unless they have added dampener air control, hence if one fires at low fire often units will foul faster on internal surfaces. From what I have read up or watched they like bit higher firing rates more consistently which helps to give complete combustion and likewise less build up of soot on inside heating surfaces. One should be prepared with proper tool and gaskets to clean internal heat exchanger possible annually to remove build up of soot. I would also keep spare glo plug and screen parts on hand.
These units are very similar to famous Monitor brand heaters which use to be sold in USA for home heating. Very efficient units, sadly manufacturer went out of business. They were commonly found in cold environments in NAmerica such as hunting lodges and cabins. Great units could heat cabin for whole year even two for one tank of Kerosene.
