Safety Information
If this appliance is not properly installed, a house fire or explosion may result. For your safety, follow the installation directions. Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation requirements in your area. Please read this entire manual before you install and use your new appliance. Failure to follow instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury or death.
Safe installation and operation always require common sense. We are also required by Canadian and ANSI safety standards to point out the following:
Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service person. The appliance should be inspected before use and at least annually by a professional service person. More frequent cleaning may
be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, et cetera.
It is imperative that control compartments, burners and circulating air passageways of the appliance are kept clean.
Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be located out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.
Do not use this heater if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the heater and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.
The appliance area must be kept free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
