DIRECT-VENT PROPANE/LP GAS HEATER
DYNAVENT
®
6.
This furnace must have fresh air for proper
operation. If not, poor fuel combustion and
improper venting of flue gases will result.
Carbon monoxide poisoning from backed-
up flue gases could occur. The State of
California lists carbon monoxide as a re-
productive toxin under Proposition 65.
7.
Never install the furnace
• in a recreational vehicle
• in an alcove
• on an inside wall
• as a fireplace insert
• in high traffic areas
• in windy or drafty areas
• behind a door or where an open door
would block normal air flow

Provide the following minimum fur-
nace clearances from furnace front
cover to combustibles (as viewed from
the front of furnace): Below Front
Cover: 6 inches; Adjoining Wall:
12 inches; Above Front Cover:
12 inches; Front: 8 feet
9.
Do not obstruct the flow of combus-
tion and ventilation air in any way. Pro-
vide adequate clearances around air
openings into the combustion chamber
along with adequate accessibility clear-
ance for servicing and proper operation.
10. Provide the following minimum furnace
clearances from furnace cabinet (portion
of cabinet extending into outside air, as
viewed from the rear of furnace):
Cabinet Back: 36 inches
Cabinet Sides: 6 inches

Never attempt to light burner with a
match or butane torch.
12. Do not run furnace
• where flammable liquids or vapors
are used or stored
• under dusty conditions
15. Do not use furnace as a cooking device.
16. Do not alter furnace or its controls. Any
change may create a safety hazard.
19. Do not use furnace if any part has been
under water. Immediately call a quali-
fied service person to inspect the fur-
nace and to replace any part of the con-
trol system and any gas control which
has been under water.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:
Early signs
of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the
flu, with headaches, dizziness, and/or nau-
sea. If you have these signs, the furnace may
not be working properly. Get fresh air at
once! Have furnace serviced. Some people
are more affected by carbon monoxide than
others. These include pregnant women,
people with heart or lung disease or anemia,
those under the influence of alcohol, and
those at high altitudes.
Propane/LP Gas:
Propane/LP gas is odor-
less. An odor-making agent is added to pro-
pane/LP gas. The odor helps you detect a
propane/LP gas leak. However, the odor added
to propane/LP gas can fade. Propane/LP gas
may be present even though no odor exists.
