CAUTION: This heater cre-
ates warm air currents. These
currents move heat to wall sur-
faces next to heater. Installing
heater next to vinyl or cloth wall
coverings or operating heater
where impurities (such as, but
not limited to, tobacco smoke,
aromatic candles, cleaning flu
-
ids, oil or kerosene lamps, etc.) in
the air exist, may discolor walls
or cause odors.
IMPORTANT:
Vent-free heaters add moisture to
the air. Although this is beneficial, installing heater
in rooms without enough ventilation air may cause
mildew to form from too much moisture. See
Air
for Combustion and Ventilation,
page 5. If high hu
-
midity is experienced, a dehumidifier may be used
to help lower the water vapor content in the air.
CAUTION: If you install the
heater in a home garage
• heater pilot and burner must
be at least 18" (45.7 cm) above
floor
• locate heater where moving
vehicle will not hit it
For convenience and efficiency, install heater
• where there is easy access for operation, inspec
-
tion and service
