Your Safety is Important to Us!
This symbol is used throughout
the manual to notify you of possi-
ble fire, electrical or burn hazards.
Please pay special attention when
reading and following the
warnings in these sections.
Installation, service and annual inspection of heater
must be done by a contractor qualified in the installa-
tion and service of gas-fired heating equipment.

tion or service of this equipment.
This heater is designed for heating nonresidential
indoor spaces. Do not install in residential spaces.
These instructions, the layout drawing, local codes
and ordinances, and applicable standards that apply
to gas piping, electrical wiring, venting, etc. must be
thoroughly understood before proceeding with the
installation.
Protective gear is to be worn during installation,
operation and service. Thin sheet metal parts, includ-
ing the aluminum reflector portion of the heater and
the various venting components, have sharp edges.
To prevent injury, the use of work gloves is recom-
mended. The use of gloves will also prevent the
transfer of body oils from the hands to the surface of
the reflector.
Before installation, check that the local distribution
conditions, nature of gas and pressure, and adjust-
ment of the appliance are compatible.
This heater must be applied and operated under the
general concepts of reasonable use and installed
using best building practices.
