INSTALLING

NOTICE

A qualified service person must install heater. Follow all local codes.

WARNING ICON

G 001

 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 in the air
(such as tobacco smoke) exist, may discolor walls.

CHECK GAS TYPE

Use only natural gas. If your gas supply is not natural gas, do not install heater.
Call dealer where you bought heater for proper type heater.

IMPORTANT:

 Vent-free heaters add moisture to the air. Although this is benefi-

cial, installing heater in rooms without enough ventilation air may cause mildew
to form from too much moisture. See Air for Combustion and Ventilation, pages 5
through 7.

NOTICE

State or local codes may only allow operation of this appliance in a
vented configuration. Check your state or local codes.
