CEILING

NOTICE: This heater is intended for use as supplemental heat. Use this heater along with your pri- mary heating system. Do not in- stall this heater as your primary heat source. If you have a central heating system, you may run system’s circulating blower while using heater. This will help circu- late the heat throughout the house. In the event of a power outage, you can use this heater as your primary heat source.

WARNING: A qualified ser- vice person must install heater. Follow all local codes.

CHECK GAS TYPE

Use only propane/LP gas. If your gas supply is not propane/LP, do not install heater. Call dealer where you bought heater for proper type heater.

INSTALLATION ITEMS

Before installing heater, make sure you have the items listed below.

external regulator (supplied by installer)

piping (check local codes)

sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)

equipment shutoff valve *

ground joint union

test gauge connection *

sediment trap

tee joint

pipe wrench

*A CSA/AGA design-certified equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an ac- ceptable alternative to test gauge connec- tion. The optional CSA/AGA design-certi- fied equipment shutoff valve can be pur- chased from your dealer. See Accessory, page 18.

This heater is designed to be mounted on a wall.

WARNING: Maintain the mini- mum clearances shown in Figure

4.If you can, provide greater clear- ances from floor, ceiling, and join- ing wall.

WARNING: Never install the heater

in a bathroom (VP10A only)

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 to- bacco smoke, aromatic candles, cleaning fluids, oil or kerosene lamps, etc.) in the air exist, may discolor walls.

IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters add mois- ture 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 Fresh Air for Com- bustion and Ventilation, pages 4 through 6.

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, inspection, and service
