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. When used indoors, 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 indicated in this manual.
Refer to Section 13
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
Start-up ‘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.
WARNING
Heater Discoloration / Staining
Stainless Steel & Painted Finishes: Surface discoloration or staining will occur on any heater body
due to heat. Discoloration due to heat is a normal occurrence especially with all stainless steel. Sur-
face discoloration does not affect the operation or performance of the heater nor the manufacturer’s
component warranties. (Refer to Section 12: Heater Finish & Appearance, page 20)
Some discoloration may be the result of the deposit of ambient air-borne particulate or gases within
the space that have passed through combustion to create ‘smoke’. The combustion of fuel gas in a
clean environment will not cause smoke discoloration deposits.
