NOTICE

 

 

 

 

 

A qualified service person must install heater. Follow all local codes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTICE

 

 

State or local codes may only allow operation of this appliance in a

WARNING ICONG 001WARNING

 

 

 

 

 

Before installing in a solid fuel burning fireplace, the chimney flue

 

 

 

 

 

and firebox must be cleaned of soot, creosote, ashes and loose paint

 

 

 

 

 

by a qualified chimney cleaner. Creosote will ignite if highly heated.

 

 

 

 

 

Inspect chimney flue for damage. If damaged, operate heater with

 

 

 

 

 

flue damper closed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WARNING ICONG 001WARNING

 

 

 

 

Seal any fresh air vents or ash clean-out doors located on floor or wall

 

 

 

 

of fireplace. If not, drafting may cause pilot outage or sooting. Use a

 

 

 

 

heat-resistant sealant. Do not seal chimney flue damper.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WARNING ICONG 001WARNING

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

• in high traffic areas

 

 

 

 

• in windy or drafty areas

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WARNING ICONG 001CAUTION

 

 

 

 

This heater creates warm air currents. These currents move heat

 

 

 

 

 

to wall surfaces next to heater. Installing heater next to vinyl or

 

 

 

 

cloth wall coverings or operating heater where impurities in the air

 

 

 

 

(such as tobacco smoke) exist, may discolor walls.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters add moisture to the air. Although this is benefi-

 

 

 

cial, 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 8.

 

 

 

CHECK GAS TYPE

 

 

 

Use only propane gas. If your gas supply is not propane, do not install heater. Call

 

 

 

dealer where you bought heater for proper type heater.
