LOCATING HEATER
This heater is designed to be mounted on a wall.
WARNING: Maintain the mini-
mum clearances shown in Figure

ances from floor, ceiling, and join-
ing wall.
CAUTION: If you install the
heater in a home garage
• heater pilot and burner must
be at least 18 inches above

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
For convenience and efficiency, install heater
