WARNING ICON

G 001

 WARNING

Never install the heater

• in a bedroom or bathroom
• in a recreational vehicle

less than 36 inches from the front, top, or sides of the heater

• as a fireplace insert

WARNING ICON

G 001

 CAUTION

This heater creates warm air currents. These currents move heat
to wall surfaces 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 moisture to the air. Although this is beneficial,  in-

stalling heater in rooms without enough ventilation air may cause mildew to form from
too much moisture. See Fresh Air for Combustion and Ventilation, pages 5 through 8.
