LOCATING HEATER
This heater is designed to be mounted on a wall.
WARNING: Maintain the mini-
mum clearances shown in Figure

ances from floor, ceiling, and
joining wall.
WARNING: Never install the
heater
• in a bathroom (Models FA-
10BA and FAS-10BB only. FA-
60BA is allowed in bathroom.
Check local codes.)
• in a recreational vehicle
• where curtains, furniture, cloth-
ing, or other flammable objects
are less than 36 inches from the

CAUTION: If you install the
heater in a home garage
• heater pilot and burner must be
at least 18 inches above floor
• locate heater where moving ve-
hicle will not hit it
CAUTION: This heater cre-
ates warm air currents. These
currents move heat to wall sur-
faces next to heater. Installing
heater next to vinyl or cloth wall
coverings or operating heater
where impurities (such as to-
bacco smoke, aromatic candles,
cleaning fluids, oil or kerosene
lamps, etc.) in the air exist, may
discolor walls.
IMPORTANT:
Vent-free heaters add mois-
ture to the air. Although this is beneficial,
installing heater in rooms without enough
ventilation air may cause mildew to form from
too much moisture. See Fresh Air for Com-
bustion and Ventilation, pages 4 through 6.
NOTICE: This heater is intended
for use as supplemental heat. Use
this heater along with your pri-
mary heating system. Do not in-
stall this heater as your primary
heat source. If you have a central
heating system, you may run
system’s circulating blower while
using heater. This will help circu-
late the heat throughout the
house. In the event of a power
outage, you can use this heater
as your primary heating source.
