Electrical Grounding Instructions
This appliance is equipped with a
three-prong (grounding) plug for
your protection against shock hazard
and should be plugged directly into
a properly grounded three-prong
receptacle.
IMPORTANT: Installing heater in
rooms without enough ventilation air
may cause mildew to form from too
much moisture. See Air for Combus -
tion and Ventilation, pages 5 and 6.
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.

person must install heater. Follow all
local codes.

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 discolor walls.
WARNING: Maintain the mini -
mum clearances. If you can, provide
greater clearances from floor, ceiling,

WATER VAPOR: A BY-PRODUCT
OF UNVENTED ROOM HEATERS
Water vapor is a by-product of gas com -
bustion. An unvented room heater pro -
duces 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 supple -
mental heat (a room) rather than a pri -
mary 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
