CAUTION: If you install the heater in a home garage

•heater pilot and burner must be at least 18" above floor

•locate heater where moving vehicle will not hit it

CAUTION: 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 (such as, but not limited to, tobacco smoke, aromatic candles, cleaning flu- ids,oilorkerosenelamps,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 humidity 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, inspection and service

•in coldest part of room
