INSTALLING HEATER TO
WALL

Marking Screw Locations

1.

Determine where you will locate heater.

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

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.

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.

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

WARNING: Maintain the mini-

mum clearances shown in Fig-
ure 4. If you can, provide greater
clearances from floor, ceiling,
and joining wall.

LOCATING HEATER

This heater is designed to be mounted on a
wall.

WARNING: A qualified ser-

vice person must install heater.
Follow all local codes.

CHECK GAS TYPE

Use only natural gas. If your gas supply is not
natural, do not install heater. Call dealer where
you bought heater for proper type heater.

the items listed below.

• piping (check local codes)

• equipment shutoff valve *

• ground joint union
