1.  The installation and repair of this appliance must be 

done by a qualified service person. Failure to prop-

erly install and maintain this heater could result

result in a fire, explosion, property damage, personal 

injury or loss of life. 

2.  This appliance should be inspected before use and 

at least annually. More frequent cleaning may be re-

quired due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding

ments, burners and circulating air passageways of 

the appliance be kept clean.
