This is a direct-fired cabinet construction heater for indoor construction. The heater must be placed where it
is not directly exposed to water spray, rain, and/or dripping water. its intended use is primarily the temporary
heating of buildings or structures under construction, alteration or repair. all the products of combustion
generated by the heater are released into the area being heated. This heater operates at approximately 99%
combustion efficiency but still produces a small amount of carbon monoxide. humans can tolerate small
amounts of carbon monoxide for short periods. carbon monoxide can build up in a heated space and
failure to provide adequate ventilation could result in poisoning or death.
