BF-10 must be wall mounted in a bedroom installation.
The bedroom must be an unconfined space. ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54
defines an unconfined ppace as "a space whose volume is not less than
50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8m3 per kw) of the aggregate
input rating of all appliances installed in that space."
Well Head Gas Installations
Some natural gas utilities use "well head" gas. This may affect the Btu
output of the unit. Contact the gas company for the heating value.
Contact the manufacturer or your gas company before changing spud/
orifice size.
THIS IS A HEATING APPLIANCE
DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE WITHOUT FRONT PANEL INSTALLED.
•
Installation and repair should be done by a QUALIFIED SER-
VICE PERSON. The appliance should be inspected before use
and at least annually by a professional service person. More
frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from
carpeting, bedding materials, etc. It is imperative that control
compartments, burners and circulating air passageways of the
appliance be kept clean.
•
DO NOT use this room heater if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the room
heater and to replace any part of the control system and any gas
control which has been under water.
•
Due to high surface temperatures, keep children, clothing and
furniture away.
•
An unvented room heater having an input rating of more than
6,000 Btu per hour shall not be installed in a bathroom.
•
An unvented room heater having an input rating of more than
10,000 Btu per hour shall not be installed in a bedroom or
bathroom.
•
Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be located out
of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.
•
Children and adults should be alerted to the hazard of high
surface temperature and should stay away to avoid burns or
clothing ignition.
•
Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in
the same room with the appliance.
•
Do not place clothing or other flammable material on or near
the appliance.
WARNING
When used without adequate combustion and ventilation air,
heater may give off CARBON MONOXIDE, an odorless, poison-
ous gas.
Do not install heater until all necessary provisions are made
for combustion and ventilation air. Consult the written
instructions provided with the heater for information con-
cerning combustion and ventilation air. In the absence of
instructions, refer to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1, Section 5.3 or applicable local codes.
This heater is equipped with a PILOT LIGHT SAFETY SYS-
TEM designed to turn off the heater if not enough fresh air is
available.
DO NOT TAMPER WITH PILOT LIGHT SAFETY SYS-
TEM!
If heater shuts off, do not relight until you provide fresh air.
If heater keeps shutting off, have it serviced. Keep burner and
control compartment clean.
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING MAY LEAD TO
DEATH.
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu, with
headache, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these signs, heater
may not be working properly. Get fresh air at once! Have heater
serviced.
Some people — pregnant women, persons with heart or lung
disease, anemia, those under the influence of alcohol , those at high
altitudes — are more affected by carbon monoxide than others.
The pilot light safety system senses the depletion of oxygen at its
location. If this heater is installed in a structure having a high
vertical dimension, the possibility exists that the oxygen supply at
the higher levels will be less than that at the heater. In this type of
application, a fan to circulate the structure air will minimize this
effect. The use of this fan will also improve the comfort level in the
structure. When a fan is used to circulate air, it should be located
so that the air flow is not directed at the burner.
