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 humid
-
ity is experienced, 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

An optional fan kit is available from your dealer.
See Accessories, page 26. If planning to use fan,
