CAUTION
: This heater creates warm air currents. These currents move heat to wall
surfaces next to heater. Walls may become discolored if you install or operate your heater
or use impurities, such as tobacco smoke, aromatic candles, cleaning fluids, oil, or kerosene
lamps, etc., next to vinyl or cloth wall coverings.
WARNING

installing heater in rooms without enough ventilation air may cause mildew to form from too
much moisture. See Air for Combustion and Ventilation, pages 7 through 9.
