gas control valve with piezo ignition system
provides safe, efficient operation.  External
electrical power is required to operate the
optional electrically powered components if
installed.  Electrical power must be wired
during appliance installation.

The electronic appliances are designed to op-
erate on either natural or propane gas. An
electronic intermittent pilot system provides
safe, efficient operation. External electrical
power is required to operate these units.

bedding material, etc. It is imperative that the
control compartment, burners and circulating
air passage ways of the appliance be kept clean.

S'assurer que le brùleur et le compartiment
des commandes sont propres.  Voir les in-
structions d'installation et d'utilisation qui
accompagnent l'appareil.
