NOTICE: This heater is in-
tended 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.
INSTALLATION
WARNING: A qualified service
person 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 36 inches from the
front, top, or sides of the heater
in high traffic areas
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.
IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters add
moisture to the air. Although this is
beneficial, installing heater in rooms
without enough ventilation air may
cause mildew. See Air for Combustion
and Ventilation, pages 4 through 5.
CHECK GAS TYPE
Use only the type of gas indicated on
the plate. If your gas supply can not
meet that requirement, do not install
heater. Call dealer where you bought
heater from for proper heater type.
Figure 4 -Minimum Clearance to Wall
CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES
(Vent-Free Operation Only)
Carefully follow the instructions below.
This fireplace is a freestanding unit
designed to set directly on the floor.
IMPORTANT: You must maintain
minimum wall and ceiling clearances
during installation. The minimum
clearances are shown in Figure 4.
Measure from outermost point of fire-
place top.
Minimum Wall and Ceiling
Clearances
(see Figure 4)
A. Clearances from outermost point
of fireplace top to any combustible side
wall should not be less than 12 inches.
B. Clearances from the fireplace top
to the ceiling should not be less than 48
inches.
Water vaporis a by-product of gas combustion.An unvented room
heater productes approximately one (1) ounce (30ml) of wter for
every 1,000 BTU’s (.3KW’s) of gas input per hour.
WATER VAPOR: A BY-PRODUCT OF UNVENTED ROOM HEATERS
Unvented room heaters are remommended as supplemental heat
(a room) rather than a primary heat source (an entire house) .In
most supplemental heat application, the water vapor does not create
a problem. In most applications, the water vapor enhances
the low
humidity atmosphere experience 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 application,
including ample combusion air and circulation air.
2. If high humidity is experienced, a dehumidifier 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.
