INSTALLATION
NOTICE
: This heater is intended for use as supplemental heat. Use this heater along with your primary heating system. Do
not install this heater as your primary heat source. If you have a central heating system, you may run system’s circulating
blower while using heater. This will help circulate the heat throughout the house.
WARNING
: A qualified technician must install heater. Follow all local codes.
WARNING
: Never install the heater:
• in a bedroom or bathroom
• in a recreational vehicle
• where curtains, furniture, clothing, or other flammable objects are less than 42 inches from the front, top or sides of the
heater.
• in high traffic areas
• in windy or drafty areas
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 (such as tobacco smoke, aromatic candles, cleaning
fluids, oil or kerosene lamps, etc.) in the air exist, may cause walls to discolor.
WARNING
: Maintain the minimum clearances. If you can, provide greater clearances from floor, ceiling and adjoining side
and back walls.
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, pages 7 through 8.
CHECK GAS TYPE
Use only the type of gas indicated on the plate. If your gas supply cannot meet that requirement, do not install heater.
