INSTALLATION

 WARNING: A qualified ser-

vice person must install heater.
Follow all local codes.

CHECK GAS TYPE

Use only propane/LP gas. If your gas supply
is not propane/LP, do not install heater. Call
dealer where you bought heater for proper
type heater.

INSTALLATION ITEMS

Before installing heater, make sure you have
the items listed below.

• external regulator (supplied by installer)

• piping (check local codes)

• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)

• equipment shutoff valve *

• ground joint union

• test gauge connection *

• sediment trap

• tee joint

• pipe wrench

*  A CSA/AGA design-certified equipment
shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an ac-
ceptable alternative to test gauge connec-
tion. Purchase the optional CSA/AGA de-
sign-certified equipment shutoff valve from
your dealer. See Accessories, page 18.

LOCATING HEATER

This heater is designed to be mounted on a
wall.

 WARNING: Maintain the mini-

mum clearances shown in Figure
4. If you can, provide greater clear-
ances from floor, ceiling, and join-
ing wall.

You can locate heater on floor, away from a
wall. An optional floor mounting stand is
needed. Purchase the floor mounting stand
from your dealer. See Accessories, page 18.

 WARNING: Never install the

heater
• in a bedroom or bathroom
• in a recreational vehicle
• where curtains, furniture,

clothing, or other flammable
objects are less than 36 inches
from the front, top, or sides of
the heater

• as a fireplace insert
• in high traffic areas
• in windy or drafty areas

 CAUTION: This heater cre-

ates warm air currents. These
currents move heat to wall sur-
faces next to heater. Installing
heater next to vinyl or cloth wall
coverings or operating heater
where impurities (such as to-
bacco smoke, aromatic candles,
cleaning fluids, oil or kerosene
lamps, etc.) in the air exist, may
discolor walls.

NOTICE: This heater is intended
for use as supplemental heat. Use
this heater along with your pri-
mary heating system. Do not in-
stall this heater as your primary
heat source. If you have a central
heating system, you may run
system’s circulating blower while
using heater. This will help circu-
late the heat throughout the
house. In the event of a power
outage, you can use this heater
as your primary heat source.

IMPORTANT: 

Vent-free heaters add

moisture to the air. Although this is
beneficial,  installing heater in rooms
without enough ventilation air may
cause mildew to form from too much
moisture. See Air for Combustion and
Ventilation, 
pages 4 through 6.

 CAUTION: If you install the

heater in a home garage
• heater pilot and burner must

be at least 18 inches above
floor

• locate heater where moving ve-

hicle will not hit it

For convenience and efficiency, install heater

• where there is easy access for operation,

inspection, and service

• in coldest part of room

An optional fan kit is available from your
dealer. See Accessories, page 18. If plan-
ning to use fan, locate heater near an electri-
cal outlet.
