WARNING: Never install the
heater
• 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

CAUTION: If you install the
heater in a home garage
• heater pilot and burner must
be at least 18 inches above
floor

vehicle will not hit it
CAUTION: This heater cre-
ates warm air currents. These

faces next to heater. Installing
heater next to vinyl or cloth wall
coverings or operating heater
where impurities in the air (such
as tobacco smoke) exist, may
discolor walls.
IMPORTANT:
Vent-free heaters add mois-
ture 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 Com-
bustion and Ventilation, pages 3 through 5.
