“The Equator”
must be installed
in such a manner as to allow the
products of combustion or hot
gases to vent out the top portion of
the heaters. When operating
normally, only radiant heat passes
through the front grill. If conditions
exist which force hot gases through
the front grill of heater, the
installation must be altered to
correct the condition.
