CAUTION:Thisheatercreates warmaircurrents.Thesecurrents move heat to wall surfaces next to heater. Installing heater next to vinyl or cloth wall coverings or operating heater where impu- rities (such as, but not limited to, tobaccosmoke,aromaticcandles, 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 Ventilation, page 5. If high humid- ity is experienced, a dehumidifier may be used to help lower the water vapor content in the air.
