VENT SAFETY SHUTOFF SYSTEM

This heater must be properly connected to a venting system. This heater is equipped with a vent safety shutoff system.

Warning:

Operation of this heater, when not connected to a properly installed and maintained venting system or tampering with the vent safety shutoff system, can result in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and possible death.

This appliance needs fresh air for safe operation and must be installed so there are provisions for adequate combustion and ventilation air.

This room heater is equipped with a vent safety switch. The vent safety switch will cause gas flow to the pilot to “shut off” due to improper venting or a blocked flue.
