NOTICE: This heater is intended
for use as supplemental heat. Use
this heater along with your primary
heating system. Do not install 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 circulate the heat throughout
the house . In the event of a power
outage, you can use this heater as
your primary heat source.
INSTALLATION
WARNING: A qualified service
person must install heater. Follow
all local codes.
WARNING: Never install the
heater
in a bedroom or bathroom
in a recreational vehicle
where curtains, furniture, clothing,
or other flammable objects are
less than 42 inches from the
front, top, or sides of the heater
in high traffic areas
in windy or drafty areas
WARNING: Maintain the
minimum clearances. If you can,
provide greater clearances from
floor, ceiling, and adjoining side and
back walls.
CAUTION: This heater creates
warm air currents. These currents
move heat to wall surfaces next to
heater. Installing heater next to vinyl
or cloth wall coverings or operating
heater where impurities (such as
tobacco smoke, aromatic candles,
cleaning fluids, oil or kerosene lamps,
etc.) in the air exist, may discolor
walls.
IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters add
moisture to the air. Although this is
beneficial, installing heater in rooms
without enough ventilation air may
cause mildew. See Air for Combustion
and Ventilation, page 4 through 5.
CHECK GAS TYPE
Be sure your gas supply is right for
your heater. Otherwise, call dealer
where you bought heater from for
proper type heater.

WATER VAPOR:A BY-PRODUCT OF UNVENTED ROOM HEATERS
Water vapor: a by-product of gas combustion.An unvented room heater produces approximately one(1) ounce
(30ml) of water for every 1,000BTU’s (.3KW’s) of gas input per hour.
Unvented room heaters are recommended as supplemental heat (a room) rather than a primary heat source
(an entire house),in most supplemental heat application,the water vapor does not create a problem,in most
applications, the water vapor enhances the low humidity atmosphere experience during cold weather.
The following steps will help insure that water vapor does not become a problem,
1.Be sure the heater is sized properly for the application,including ample combusion air and circulation air.
2.If high humidity is experienced, a dehumidifier may be used to help lower the water vapor content of the air.
3.Do not use an unvented room, heater as the primary heat source.
