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.
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 9 through 11.
