INSTALLATION
WARNING: Never install the
heater
• in a bedroom or bathroom
unless installed as a vented
appliance (see page 11)
• in a recreational vehicle
• where curtains, furniture,
clothing or other flammable
objects are less than 42" from
the front, top or sides of the
heater
• in high traffic 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, but
not limited to, tobacco smoke,
aromatic candles, cleaning flu-
ids, oil or kerosene lamps, etc.) in
the air exist, may discolor walls
or cause odors.
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.

LP) for your unit. If your gas supply is not cor-
rect, do not install heater. Call dealer where

mary heat source. If you have a

vice person must install heater.

WARNING: Before installing
in a solid fuel burning fireplace,
the chimney flue and firebox
must be cleaned of soot, creo-
sote, ashes and loose paint by
a qualified chimney cleaner.

heated. A dirty chimney flue may
create and distribute soot within
house. Inspect chimney flue and
firebox for damage. If damaged,
repair flue and firebox before
operating heater.
WARNING: Seal any fresh
air vents or ash clean-out doors
located on floor or wall of fire-
place. If not, drafting may cause
pilot outage or sooting. Use a
heat-resistant sealant. Do not
seal chimney flue damper.
