INSTALLATION

Continued

WARNING: Never install the heater

in a bedroom or bathroom

in a recreational vehicle

where curtains, furniture, clothing, or other flammable objects are less than 36 inches from the front, top, or sides of the heater

as a fireplace insert

in high traffic areas

in windy or drafty areas

CAUTION: If you install the heater in a home garage

heater pilot and burner must be at least 18 inches 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 mois- ture. See Air for Combustion and Ventilation, pages 5 through 7. If high humidity is experi- enced, 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

An optional fan kit is available from your dealer. See Accessories, page 33. If planning to use fan, locate heater near an electrical outlet.
