•  An  unvented  room  heater  having  an  input    rating  of 

more than 6,000 Btu per hour shall not be installed in a 

bathroom.

•  An unvented room heater having an input rating of more 

than 10,000 Btu per hour shall not be installed in a bedroom 

or bathroom.

•  Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be located 

out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.

•  Children and adults should be alerted to the hazard of 

high surface temperature and should stay away to avoid 

burns or clothing ignition.

•  Young children should be carefully supervised when they 

are in the same room with the appliance.

•  Do not place clothing or other flammable material on or 

near the appliance.

•  Due to high surface temperatures, keep children, clothing 

and furniture away.

• 

WARNING: Do not use a blower insert, heat exchanger 

insert  or  other  accessory  not  approved  for  use  with 

heater.

• 

Installation and repair should be done by a

 QUALIFIED 

SERVICE PERSON. The appliance should be inspected 

before use and at least annually by a professional service 

person. More frequent cleaning may be required due to 

excessive lint from carpeting, bedding materials, etc. It 

is  imperative  that  control  compartments,  burners  and 

circulating  air  passageways  of  the  appliance  be  kept 

clean.

• 

DO NOT 

use this room heater if any part has been under 

water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to 

inspect the room heater and to replace any part of the 

control system and any gas control which has been under 

water.

• 

WARNING: ANY CHANGE TO THIS HEATER OR ITS 

CONTROLS CAN BE DANGEROUS. 

 

Any  safety  screen  or  guard  removed  for  servicing 

an  appliance  must  be  replaced  prior  to  operating  the 

heater.

•  Keep  appliance  area  clear  and  free  from  combustible 

materials,  gasoline  and  other  flammable  vapors  and 

liquids.

• 

WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air opening(s) 

of the burner(s) clean may result in sooting and property 

damage.

WARNING

When  used  without  adequate  combustion  and  ventilation 

air, heater may give off CARBON MONOXIDE, an odorless, 

poisonous 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 SYS

-

TEM 

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 hav

-

ing 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.

THIS IS A HEATING APPLIANCE

DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE WITHOUT FRONT PANEL INSTALLED.
