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, page 5. If high hu-

midity is experienced, a dehumidifier may be used

to help lower the water vapor content in the air.

CAUTION: When installing

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 30. If planning to use fan,

locate heater near an electrical outlet.
