When used without adequate combustion and ventilation air, 

heater may give off CARBON MONOXIDE, an odorless, poison-

ous gas. 

Do not install heater until all necessary provisions are 

made for combustion and ventilation air. Consult the writ-

ten instructions provided with the heater for information 

concerning combustion and ventilation air. In the absence 

of instructions, refer to the National fuel gas Code, ANSI 

Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for Combustion and Ventilation, or 

applicable local codes. 

This heater is equipped with a pILOT LIghT SAfETy SySTEM 

designed to turn off the heater if not enough fresh air is 

available.

DO NOT TAMpER WITh pILOT LIghT SAfETy SyS-

TEM!
If heater shuts off, do not relight until you provide fresh air.

If heater keeps shutting off, have it serviced. Keep burner and 

control compartment clean. 

CARBON MONOXIDE pOISONINg MAy LEAD TO 

DEATh.

Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu, with 

headache, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these signs, 

heater may not be working properly. get fresh air at once! have 

heater serviced. 
Some people — pregnant women, persons with heart or lung 

disease, anemia, those under the influence of alcohol , those 

at high altitudes — are more affected by carbon monoxide than 

others.
The pilot light safety system senses the depletion of oxygen at 

its location. If this heater is installed in a structure having a high 

vertical dimension, the possibility exists that the oxygen supply 

at the higher levels will be less than that at the heater. In this type 

of application, a fan to circulate the structure air will minimize 

this effect. The use of this fan will also improve the comfort level 

in the structure. When a fan is used to circulate air, it should be 

located so that the air flow is not directed at the burner.
