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
