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 system’s circulating blower while
using heater. This will help circulate the heat throughout the house.
WARNING: A qualied technician 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 ammable objects are less than 42
in. from the front, top or sides of the heater.
• in high trafc 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
uids, oil or kerosene lamps, etc.) in the air exist, may cause walls to discolor.
WARNING: Maintain the minimum clearances. If you can, provide greater clearances
from oor, ceiling and adjoining side and back walls.
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.
CHECK GAS TYPE
Use only the type of gas indicated on the plate. If your gas supply cannot meet that
requirement, do not install heater.
