INSTALLATION

Continued

WARNING: Never install the

heater

• in a bedroom or bathroom

• in a recreational vehicle

• where curtains, furniture,

clothing, or other flammable

objects are less than 36 inches

from the front, top, or sides of

the heater

• as a fireplace insert

• in high traffic areas

• in windy or drafty areas

CAUTION: This heater cre-

ates warm air currents. These

currents move heat to wall sur-

faces next to heater. Installing

heater next to vinyl or cloth wall

coverings or operating heater

where impurities (such as, but

not limited to, tobacco smoke,

aromatic candles, cleaning flu-

ids, oil or kerosene lamps, etc.) in

the air exist, may discolor walls

or cause odors.

IMPORTANT:

Vent-free heaters add moisture to

the air. Although this is beneficial, installing heater

in rooms without enough ventilation air may cause

mildew to form from too much moisture. See Air

for Combustion and Ventilation, pages 5 through

7. If high humidity is experienced, a dehumidi-

fier may be used to help lower the water vapor

content in the air.

CAUTION: If you install the

heater in a home garage

• heater pilot and burner must be

at least 18 inches above floor

• locate heater where moving

vehicle will not hit it

For convenience and efficiency, install heater
• where there is easy access for operation, inspec-

tion, and service

• in coldest part of room
An optional fan kit is available from your dealer.

See Accessories, page 23. If planning to use fan,
