INSTALLATION

stall heater. Follow all local codes.
WARNING: Before installing in a solid fuel burn-
ing fireplace, the chimney flue and firebox must be
cleaned of soot, creosote, ashes, and loose paint by
a qualified chimney cleaner. Creosote will ignite if
highly heated. A dirty chimney flue may create and
distribute soot within the house. Inspect chimney
flue for damage. If damaged, repair flue before oper-
ating heater.
WARNING: Seal any fresh air vents or ash clean-
out doors located on floor or wall of fireplace. If not,
drafting may cause pilot outage or sooting. Use a
heat-resistant sealant. Do not seal chimney flue
damper.
WARNING: Never install the heater
in a bedroom or bathroom unless installed as a
vented appliance, see page 10.

heater. Installing heater next to vinyl or cloth wall
coverings or operating heater where impurities (such

candles, cleaning fluids, 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 venti-
lation air may cause mildew to form from too much moisture. See
Air for Combustion and Ventilation, pages 4 through 6.
