You can locate heater on floor, away from a wall. An optional floor mounting stand is need- ed. Purchase the floor mounting stand from your dealer. See Accessories, page 21.

Installing heater next to vinyl or cloth wall coverings or operatingheaterwhereimpurities (such as, but not limited to, to- bacco smoke, aromatic candles, cleaning fluids, 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 Ventila- tion, page 5. If high humidity is experienced, a dehumidifier may be used to help lower the water vapor content in the air.
