Heater Expansion
It is a normal condition that during heat-up and cool-down a radiant 
heater will expand and contract. Allowances for heater expansion 
must be made in the gas connection and heater suspension. Im-
proper installation, alteration, or adjustment can result in property 
damage, injury or death.  
WARNING
Venting
Inadequate venting of a heater may result in asphyxiation, carbon 
monoxide poisoning, injury or death. This heater is indirectly vented 
from the space. Venting must be in accordance with all local, state, 
provincial, and national codes (ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in USA; B149.1 in Canada) and as indi-
cated in this manual. 
Refer to Sections 11 & 12
Gas Connection
Improper installation, connection, or adjustment can result in property 
damage, toxic gases, asphyxiation, injury or death. Use an approved 
stainless steel flexible gas connector (field supplied) to connect to the 
gas supply to the heater in accordance with all local, state, provincial, and national codes 
(ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in USA; B149.1 in Canada) and as indicated in this manual.

WARNING
‘Smoke’ & Discoloration Condition
During start-up, the heating of material coatings used in the production process of the heater 
may create a small amount of smoke during the initial period of operation. This condition is 
normal and temporary . 
Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation to adequately clear any ‘smoke’ from the space.
Notify site management and safety personnel to ensure that alarm systems are not unduly 
activated. 
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.
