Under certain conditions in some locations/environments, surface discoloration may occur on the
heater body where the products of combustion discharge from the heater. This discoloration is
due the deposit of ambient air borne particulate or gases that have passed through combus-
tion. The combustion of fuel gas in a clean environment will not cause any discoloration. The
discoloration does not affect the operation of the heater nor the manufacturer’s warranties.
