Danger: Excessive torque
(twisting) on the inlet fitting of this
heater may cause gas leaks at
one or more of the fittings inside
the heater.
Danger: Do not use candles,
matches or other ignition
sources when checking for gas
leaks.
Fuel gases are very
flammable and, in certain
concentrations, explosive.
Checking for leaks with an open
flame may lead to fire or
explosion which could cause
personal injury, property
damage, or death.

7. If the heater is to be equipped with an optional blower, install the
blower according to the instructions provided with the blower. (Note:
IRVF2T heaters cannot be equipped with a blower.)
8. Locate the two key-hole slots on the back of the heater. Align the
large openings of the key-hole slots with the mounting screws in
the anchors in the wall. Hang the heater on the two mounting screws
by positioning the heater so that the heads of the mounting screws
protrude into the large openings of the key-hole slots; let the heater
slide downward until the mounting-screw shanks are in the small
openings of the key-hole slots. Tighten the two upper mounting
screws into the wall anchors. See Figure 6.
9. Locate the two standoffs on back of the heater. Insert two screws
from the bag of fasteners through the holes in the standoffs. Tighten
the screws into the wall until the heater is firmly secured to the
wall. See Figure 6.
Proceed to Step 14.
