1.

Please read these installation instructions completely before beginning installation procedures. Failure to follow them

could cause a malfunction resulting in serious injury and/or property damage.

2.

Always check your local building codes prior to installation. The installation must comply with all local, regional, state

and national codes and regulations.

3.

Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service person. This appliance should also be inspected annually

by a qualified service person. More frequent inspections/cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting,

bedding material, etc. It is imperative that the control compartment, burners and circulating air passageways of the

appliance be kept clean.

4.

This is a vented gas appliance. Do not burn wood or other material in this appliance.

5. NEVER 

leave children unattended when there is a fire burning in the appliance.

6.

This appliance must be vented with a minimum 5” B-Vent system and must terminate above the roof line. Venting

7.

Use only the fuel gas specified on the rating label of this gas appliance. Keep any flammable liquids a safe distance

from the appliance.

8.

While  servicing  this  appliance,  always  shut  off  all  electricity  and  gas  to  the  appliance.  This  will  prevent  possible

electrical shock or burns. Also, make sure the appliance is completely cooled before servicing.

9.

The appliance and its manual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any

pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa). The appliance must be isolated from

the gas supply piping system by closing its  manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping

system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (kPa).

10.

Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect

the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.

11.

Be  sure  to  provide  adequate  clearances  around  the  air  openings  into  the  combustion  chamber  and  adequate

accessibility clearances for servicing and proper operation.

12.

Provisions shall be made to provide adequate combustion and ventilation air.

13.

The appliance area shall be kept clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and

liquids.

14.

The flow of combustion and ventilation air should not be obstructed.

Please  retain  this  manual  for  future  reference.

WARNING!

DO NOT use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to

inspect the appliance, to replace any part of the control system  and any gas control which has been under

water.
