Heater Expansion
It is a normal condition that during heat-up and cool-down a radiant
heater will expand and contract. Allowances for heater expansion
must be made in the gas connection and heater suspension. Im-
proper installation, alteration, or adjustment can result in property
damage, injury or death.
WARNING
Venting
Inadequate venting of a heater may result in asphyxiation, carbon
monoxide poisoning, injury or death. This heater is indirectly vented
from the space. Venting must be in accordance with all local, state,
provincial, and national codes (ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in USA; B149.1 in Canada) and as indi-
cated in this manual.
Refer to Sections 11 & 12
Gas Connection
Improper installation, connection, or adjustment can result in property
damage, toxic gases, asphyxiation, injury or death. Use an approved
stainless steel flexible gas connector (field supplied) to connect to the
gas supply to the heater in accordance with all local, state, provincial, and national codes
(ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in USA; B149.1 in Canada) and as indicated in this manual.

WARNING
WARNING
‘Smoke’ & Discoloration Condition
During start-up, the heating of material coatings used in the production process of the heater
may create a small amount of smoke during the initial period of operation. This condition is
normal and temporary .
Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation to adequately clear any ‘smoke’ from the space.
Notify site management and safety personnel to ensure that alarm systems are not unduly
activated.
Under certain conditions in some locations/environments, surface discoloration may occur on the
heater body where the products of combustion discharge from the heater.
The discoloration is due
to the deposit of ambient air borne particulate or gases within the space that have passed
through combustion. The combustion of fuel gas in a clean environment will not cause any
discoloration. Surface discoloration does not affect the operation or performance of the
heater nor the manufacturer’s warranties.
