dealer where you bought heater for proper
type heater.

• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)
• equipment shutoff valve *
• ground joint union
• test gauge connection *

ceptable alternative to test gauge connec-

Continued

WARNING: Never install the

heater
• in a 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 ve-

hicle 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 to-
bacco smoke, aromatic candles,
cleaning fluids, oil or kerosene
lamps, etc.) in the air exist, may
discolor walls.

IMPORTANT:

Vent-free heaters add mois-

ture 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 Com-
bustion and Ventilation,
pages 4 through 6.

NOTICE: This heater is intended
for use as supplemental heat. Use
this heater along with your pri-
mary heating system. Do not in-
stall this heater as your primary
heat source. If you have a central
heating system, you may run
system’s circulating blower while
using heater. This will help circu-
late the heat throughout the
house. In the event of a power
outage, you can use this heater
as your primary heat source.
