CAUTION: If you install the heater in a home garage

•heater pilot and burner must be at least 18" (45.7 cm) above floor

•locate heater where moving vehicle will not hit it

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.

For convenience and efficiency, install heater

•where there is easy access for operation, inspec- tion and service

•in coldest part of room

THERMOSTAT SENSING BULB (Thermostat Models Only)

The thermostat sensing bulb is located inside the heater. Do not move this bulb during installation or operation of the heater.
