This appliance must be properly connected to a
venting system. The appliance is equipped with a vent
safety shutoff system designed to protect against
improper venting. Operating when not connected to a
properly installed and maintained venting system or
tampering with the shutoff system can result in carbon
monoxide (CO) poisoning and possible death.
The venting system should be checked periodically.
Recent trends in home improvement and new tighter
construction techniques have contributed to problems
with venting. If you suspect that your appliance is not
venting properly, do not operate. Seek expert advice.
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.
NOTE
When operating your new room heater for the first time, some vapors may be released which may cause a slight odor and could possibly set off any
smoke detection alarms in the immediate vicinity. These vapors are quite normal on new appliances. They are totally harmless and will disappear after a
few hours use.
