INSTALLATION
WARNING:
A qualified service
person must install heater. Follow
all local codes.
WARNING:
Never install the
heater
l
in a bedroom or bathroom
l
in a recreational vehicle
l
where curtains, furniture, clothing,
or other flammable objects are less
than 42 inches from the front, top, or
sides of the heater
l
in high traffic areas
l
in windy or drafty areas
WARNING:
Maintain the
minimum clearances. If you can,
provide greater clearances from
floor, ceiling, and adjoining side and
back walls.
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
discolor walls.
I
MPORTANT:
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 4 through 5.
CHECK GAS TYPE
Be sure your gas supply is right for
your heater. Otherwise, call dealer
where you bought the heater for
proper type heater.

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 . In
the event of a power outage, you
can use this heater as your primary
heat source.
WATER VAPOR: A BY-PRODUCT OF UNVENTED ROOM HEATERS
Water vapor: a by-product of gas combustion.An unvented room heater productes approximately one(1) ounce
(30ml) of water for every 1,000BTU
’
s (3KW
’
s) of gas input per hour.
Unvented room heaters are recommended as supplemental heat (a room) rather than a primary heat source (an
entire house),in most supplemental heat appllcation,the water vapor does not create a problem,in most
appllcations, the water vapor enhances the low humidity atmosphere experlonce during cold weather.
The following steps will help insure that water vapor does not become a problem,
1.Be sure the heater is sized properly for the appllcation,including ample combusion air and clrculation air.
2.If high humldity is experienced, a dehumldifier may be used to help lower the water vapor content of the air.
3.Do not use an unvented room,heater as the primary heat source.
