IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters add moisture to the air. Although this is benecial,
installing heater in rooms without enough ventilation air may cause mildew to form
from too much moisture. See Air for Combustion and Ventilation, pages 8 through
10.

thermostat controlled power vent. Heated air entering the attic will activate the power
vent. Rework worksheet, adding the space of the adjoining unconfined space. The
combined spaces must have enough fresh air to supply all appliances in both spaces.
INSTALLATION
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 the system’s circulating
blower while using the heater. This will help circulate the heat throughout the house.
In the event of power outage, you can use this heater as your primary heat source.
WARNING: A qualied technician must install heater. Follow all local codes.
WARNING: Before installing in a solid flue burning firebox, the chimney flue and
firebox must be cleaned of soot, creosote, ashes and loose paint by a qualified
chimney cleaner. Creosote will ignite if highly heated. A dirty chimney ue may create
and distribute soot within the house. Inspect chimney ue for damage.
WARNING: Maintain the minimum clearances. If possible, provide greater clearances
from the oor, ceiling, and adjoining wall than required.
WARNING: Seal any fresh air vents or ash clean-out doors located on the oor or
wall of replace to prevent drafting caused by pilot outage or sooting. Use a heat-
resistant sealant. Do not seal chimney ue damper.
CAUTION: This heater creates warm air currents. These currents move heat to
wall surface next to heater. Installing heater next to vinyl or cloth wall coverings
or operating heater where impurities (such as tobacco smoke, aromatic candles,
cleaning uids, oil or kerosene lamps, etc.) in the air exist may discolor walls.
NOTICE: State or local codes may only allow operation of this appliance in a vented
conguration. Check your state or local codes.
