This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indicat-
ed on the rating plate. This appliance is not convertible for
use with other gases unless a certified kit is used.
Installation and replacement of gas piping, gas utiliza-
tion equipment or accessories, and repair and servicing
of equipment shall be performed only by a qualified
agency. The term “qualified agency” means any individ

ual, firm, corporation, or company that either in person
or through a representative is engaged in and is respon-
sible for (a) installation or replacement of gas piping,

The Dutchwest Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room Heater
should be inspected before use and at least annually by
a qualified service agency. It is imperative that control
compartments, burners, and circulating air passage-
ways of the appliance be kept clean.
The Dutchwest Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room Heater and
its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the
gas supply piping during any pressure testing of that system
at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
The Dutchwest Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room Heater
must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by clos-
ing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures
equal to or less than 1/2 psig.
‘Direct Vent’ describes a sealed combustion system in
which incoming outside air for combustion and outgoing
exhaust enter and exit through two separate concentric
passages within the same sealed vent system. The system
does not use room air to support combustion. The Direct
Vent system permits the gas appliance to be vented directly
to the outside atmosphere through the side of the house or
vertically through the roof. Conventional venting systems
(Natural Vent) take air from the room for combustion and
vent the exhaust vertically through the roof to the atmo-
sphere.
This appliance is approved for bedroom installations in the
U.S. and Canada.
This appliance may be installed in an aftermarket* manu-
factured (mobile) home, where not prohibited by state or
local codes.

-
nected to a properly installed and maintained venting
system can result in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning

The Dutchwest Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room Heater,
when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance
with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, (latest edition), or of
