VENT SAFETY SHUTOFF SYSTEM
This heater must be properly connected to a venting system. This
heater is equipped with a vent safety shutoff system.
This appliance needs fresh air for safe operation and must be
installed so there are provisions for adequate combustion and
ventilation air.
This room heater is equipped with a vent safety switch. The vent
safety switch will cause gas flow to the pilot to “shut off” due to
improper venting or a blocked flue.
If the vent safety switch continues to “shut off” the gas flow to
the pilot, a qualified service person must be contacted to inspect
for improper venting, blockage in the vent pipe or the vent safety
switch for being defective.
Warning:
Operation of this heater, when not connected to a
properly installed and maintained venting system or
tampering with the vent safety shutoff system, can result in
carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and possible death.
