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 Ventila-
tion
, page 5.
CHECK GAS TYPE
Use the correct gas type (natural or propane/
LP) for your unit. If your stove heater gas type
is different from your house gas type, do not
install heater. Call dealer where you bought
heater for proper type heater.
WARNING: This appliance is
equipped for either natural gas
or propane/LP gas but not both.
Gas type is indicated on the rat-
ing plate. Field conversion is not
permitted.
