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 moisture.
See Air for Combustion and Ventilation, page
5. If high humidity is experienced, a dehumidi-
fier 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
