IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Read these instructions carefully before installing or trying to operate this Vent Free gas heater.
16. Keep room area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and
liquids.
17. This appliance is intended for supplemental heating.
18. Unvented gas heaters emit moisture into the living area. In most homes of average construction,
this does not pose a problem. In houses of extremely tight construction, additional mechanical
ventilation is recommended.
19. During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various components of this heater are treated with
certain oils, films or bonding agents. These chemicals are not harmful but may produce annoying
smoke and smells as they are burned off during the initial operation of the heater; possibly causing
headaches or eye or lung irritation. This is a normal and temporary occurrence. The initial break-in
operation should last two to three hours with the burner at the highest setting. Provide maximum
ventilation by opening windows or doors to allow odors to dissipate. Any odors remaining after this
initial break-in period will be slight and will disappear with continued use.
20. Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are for elevations up to 2,000 feet. If your installation
is at an elevation greater than these, consult with the local authority having jurisdiction for gas
product installations to determine their specific requirements for high altitude installations.
21. The heater must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its equipment shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less
than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
22. Do not use this room heater if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service
technician to inspect the heater and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control
which has been under water.
23. Never burn solid fuels in a fireplace where an unvented heater is installed.
24.
WARNING:
Any change to this heater or its controls can be dangerous.
25. When this heater is installed directly on carpeting, tile or other combustible material, other than
wood flooring, the heater shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and
depth of the heater.
